U.S. military personnel, civilians, command-sponsored dependents, and contractors must follow foreign travel procedures. Refer to United States Army Garrison Italy operation order (op-ord) 16-045, Foreign Travel Procedures for U.S. Personnel. Pre-travel training must be done before outside travel. Training consists of one or more of a series of modules located in Army Knowledge Online (AKO). Various countries in Europe require Americans to register with the Embassy before leave or TDY travel. Accomplish this using STEP on the U.S. State Department website. For more information, visit the Foreign Clearance Guide (log-in required). For more information, contact your unit antiterrorism officer or security personnel.
