Procedures for Foreign Travel Request and Authorization

The Agency /Division Custodian will control and process all overseas travel request and authorizations for the users assigned to his/her agency to their Agency Coordinator. An original copy of the request will be forwarded to the Agency Coordinator for record keeping. No custodian/user can submit an overseas travel request directly to U.S. Space Command; all requests must pass through a Departmental/Agency Coordinator.

The Departmental/Agency Coordinators will control and process all overseas travel request and authorizations received from their Agency/Division Custodians to the Controlling Authority (U.S. Space Command). A file copy of the original request, and final approval will be maintained on file at the Custodians location. The request will be faxed to the Agency Coordinator for processing and the original will be mailed to the Agency Coordinator for his/her files. The Departmental Coordinator will be notified by voice or e-mail on all overseas travel of PPS equipment prior to departure. The emergency and routine reporting requirements will be strictly enforced at all times to ensure that DOD/NSA can attempt recovery should a loss occur while outside the United States.

All the requirements of this section and Chapter 2, Section 5.5 apply at all times and any waiver request will be processed through your Departmental/Agency Coordinators to the Controlling Authority (U.S. Space Command). U.S. Space Command ruling is final and complete, no continued request that the controlling authority has already ruled upon will be entertained at any level.
