Which statement best describes the processing steps for travel vouchers for Expert Witnesses?

• A. The witness signs the DD Form 1351-2 but the paralegal handles unrelated tasks.
• B. The witness signs the DD Form 1351-2 and the paralegal approves the reimbursement amount.
• C. The paralegal generates and completes a DD Form 1351-2; the witness signs; the form is uploaded to DTS.
• D. The CA signs the voucher and processes payment.

Answer: (C)

The essential idea is the travel voucher workflow: the paralegal prepares and completes the DD Form 1351-2, the expert witness (the traveler) signs it to certify accuracy, and then the completed form is uploaded into the Defense Travel System for processing and payment. This sequence ensures proper documentation, traveler verification, and system-driven handling of reimbursement.

This is why it’s the best description. The paralegal’s role is to generate and finish the form so everything is ready for the traveler to sign, and then the submission to DTS starts the official processing and payment cycle. Other descriptions don't fit: one implies the paralegal is handling unrelated tasks, which wouldn’t ensure proper voucher preparation; another assigns approval of the reimbursement to the paralegal, which isn’t how approvals are typically handled within the DTS workflow; and another puts the signing or payment processing on someone else (the CA), whereas the correct flow centers on the traveler’s signature followed by DTS processing.
