Defense Department travel funds usually can't pay for a service member to attend certain meetings. This includes technical, scientific, or professional group meetings. The Secretary, or someone the Secretary picks, must approve it first.

Defense Department appropriations available for travel cannot be used to pay expenses for a member of an armed force under that department attending a meeting of a technical, scientific, professional, or similar organization — unless the relevant Secretary, or the Secretary's designee, approves it first.
