Additionally, all Annual tour requests must be submitted by 31 May each year. This is to ensure they are published by 30 June each year per DAFMAN 36-2136. If you are in a situation where it is after 1 June and you haven't put your AT orders request into myFSS yet, you’ll need to complete this MFR and have it signed by your Active Duty CC or Unit Colonel (0-6), Det CC and approved by the HQ RIO/DO prior to participating on the orders. These requests can be disapproved at any indorsement level due to submission after 31 May or funding constraints. 

Providing the following items will assist/ensure your orders getting processed:

• If Applicable, Annual Tour Special Tour Request (ATSRF)
• Any Applicable Reporting Instructions
• IMR print-out

IDTs in Conjunction
Some IRs choose to plan their IDTs and AT "in conjunction" in order to use the travel benefit of the AT orders to cover the IDT periods as well.  You must put the days in UTAPS and notate on the orders request that you are doing IDTs in conjunction. For more information, click HERE for the quick guide.

Split AT
Split AT may be allowed by Det CC to accommodate special mission or training requirements and is the exception. Split ATs will not be for the IR’s convenience and must be justified in the remarks section of the AROWS-R request. IDTs may be taken in conjunction with split tour; however, they may only be split when travel is involved. IRs must submit a Special Tour Request for approval to split their AT.
