DIGEST;


An Army officer whose travel orders
directed him to commute daily from his
residence to certain temporary duty
stations near his permanent station is
not entitled to partial per diem for one
meal he purchased each day at the tempQ-
rary duty stations. The fact that he may
have had to stop at his permanentzstation
each day en route to the temporary duty
stations did not change the fact that the
travel was commuting for which per diem is
not authorized.


     This action is in response tota request for an
advr -ee decision concerning payment of travel per
dien, to an Army officer who commuted daily from his
residence to his temporary duty assignments. As is
explained below, in thn circumstances presented he is
not entitled to per diem.

     The request was submitted by the Finance and
Accounting Officer, 18th Finance Section, Headquar-
tern V Corps, United St4tes Army, Europe.   It has
been assigned Control Number 81-17 by the Per Diem,
Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee.

     The officer involved, Captain Philip W. flolden,
USA, whose permaitent duty station was Frankfurt, West
Germany, was ordered to pterform repeated temporary duty
at various locations during the period of February 1
through March 2, 1979. The- travel orders authorized
use of privately Owned vehicle with payment of a mile-
age allowance, when, Government transportation: was not
available, and payment 6f per diem in accordance with
the Joint Travel Regulations.   The orders also directed
the member to commute daily if the temporary duty point
was within a 30-maile radius of the home station, and

used to the maximum extent.
