The Pentagon will move to require its civilian and military employees to use the Defense Travel System after an outside report won the department breathing room to fix the much-maligned system.

A Pentagon-commissioned report by the nonprofit Institute for Defense Analyses recommends that the department continue using the Defense Travel System and that a portion of DTS used for travel accounting not be separated from the portion used to book trips, as critics have urged.

The institute completed in the report in March, but the Pentagon did not release it until this week, in response to a Federal Times request.
