Which guide governs all DOD/non-DOD personnel traveling under DOD sponsorship?

• A. Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG)
• B. International Travel Manual
• C. DoD Travel Policy
• D. Military Travel Handbook

Answer: (A)

When traveling internationally under DoD sponsorship, the official rules and steps come from one comprehensive source that lists country-specific entry requirements, visa and passport details, immunization needs, and the process to obtain foreign clearance before departure. That source is the Foreign Clearance Guide. It covers both DoD and non-DoD personnel under DoD sponsorship, ensuring everyone follows the same mandated procedures and coordinates with host nations as needed. The other publications exist to help with travel planning or policy in a broader sense, but they don’t provide the complete, country-by-country foreign clearance framework that governs official international travel.
