Last year ROA discussed with the Government Accountability Office the cost of travel for Reserve Component members that often go unreimbursed. They recently completed a study that identified National Guard and Reserve members are incurring costs for Inactive Duty Training and longer duration training or assignments. The report states, “GAO is recommending that DOD collect quality information and conduct an analysis of the potential effects of reservists’ unreimbursed travel expenses on retention, and respond to these risks by considering the costs and benefits of any possible actions to address the identified issues. DOD concurred with this recommendation.”
