Defense Transportation Regulation

The Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) is a set of rules and guidelines that direct how the U.S. Department of Defense manages the movement of military equipment, supplies, and personnel. It ensures transportation is efficient, secure, and cost-effective, coordinating between different military branches, government agencies, and commercial carriers. The DTR covers procedures for planning, executing, and controlling transportation activities, and helps maintain readiness and logistical support during peacetime and wartime operations, ensuring that military resources reach their destinations safely and on time.
