JSP 800 DEFENCE MOVEMENTS AND TRANSPORTATION REGULATIONS VOLUME 2 PASSENGER TRAVEL INSTRUCTIONS Third Edition By Command of the Defence Council MINISTRY OF DEFENCE January 2010 FOREWORD This document outlines the Joint Service Policy for movement of passengers and provides guidance to formations and units. This volume of JSP 800 is a ‘live’ publication and will be subject to amendment in order to keep it relevant. The travel instructions in this manual replace those formally published in the following areas: a. The previous edition of JSP 800 which should now be destroyed. b. Instructions previously covered in Defence Council Instructions (DCIs) and those DINs which expire on issue of this edition. Personal contact details of junior staff redacted under section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act The Sponsor of JSP 800 Volume 2 is the Deputy Head, SCM. Each Chapter of this volume has a Chapter Sponsor, identified in the contents list, and who is responsible for the maintenance of and update of the content via the process undertaken by the Defence Passenger Policy Committee and associated Working Groups . Chapter Sponsors should review their chapters, to ensure accuracy and relevance, and pass proposed amendments to the Technical Author who will aim to publish amendments to the intranet as a minimum on an annual basis. This volume will contain some reference to DCIs and DINs. It must be noted that these were the latest edition at the time of printing and may have been superseded. Some duplication necessarily exists between these instructions and those contained in other volumes of JSP 800 although this has been minimised. All suggestions to improve this volume of JSP 800 should be made to the Technical Author; this could include the addition of topics and requests for more detail in existing chapters. CD copies have been made available to those units only who do not have access to the Intranet. Units who justifiably hold CD copies are advised that these are uncontrolled copies and will be updated biannually. Distribution of this document in CD format only is managed by Forms & Publications, DSDA HO OPS, BLDG C16, C Site, Lower Arncott, Bicester, Oxon OX25 ILP as authorised by SO2 Passenger Policy.
