FY27:  All orders are unit funded.

Capstone will provide an itinerary (3-4 weeks before the course starts) and voucher draft (during the last week of each course) for your unit authorization and voucher submissions.

All orders should reflect $0 for lodging, Capstone to retain lodging payments for the duration of the course.

Locals (live/work in the NCR) usually have two orders, CONUS and OCONUS.  "Can we do one order?"  That is up to your DTS approver.  Per diem should be $0 for the days the course is in DC.

Out of Towners usually have one order, leaving home to DC and returning home from DC at course conclusion.

Rental Cars are not necessary.  Our contract hotel is a 3 block walk to campus.  Parking on campus is also free (hotel charges +$69 daily/valet only).  "Can I/my boss still get a rental car?"  That is up to your unit DTS approver.  The course is in DC a limited time of the 5 weeks.  (See Schedule link under All You Need to Know.)

When Capstone visits your Permanent Duty Station (PDS) you should stay at home (with no perdiem).

OCONUS Fellows:  you are authorized two days of travel and can arrive to DC the Saturday before your course starts.  Please look for the lodging roster (checklist round 2) and provide applicable updates to Capstone.

CONUS Fellows:  you should arrive the Sunday before your course starts.  If you choose a Saturday arrival please be ready to self pay, Capstone does not cover this extra night.

Hotel Check in:  after 1500 (lodging roster will be sent for each to confirm.)  "Does my boss have to stay in the close DC hotel?"  No, but Capstone funds the close DC hotel only, if another hotel is preferred, that becomes a unit expense.

When can my boss depart on graduation day?  Flights on graduation day should be 1500 or later.
