Transfer orders are the basic authority to issue what type of orders?

• A. Travel orders
• B. Leave orders
• C. Pay orders
• D. Enlistment orders

Answer: (A)

Transfer orders authorize moving a service member from one unit or duty station to another. To carry out that move, travel orders are issued to document and authorize the actual travel—covering where you’re going, when you’ll depart and report, transportation arrangements, lodging, per diem, and the like. Leave orders handle authorized time away from duty, pay orders deal with compensation, and enlistment orders pertain to entry into service. So, the basic authority provided by transfer orders is to issue travel orders.
