If a member reports for ACDUTRA without original orders, who is responsible for making payments?

The responsibility for making payments when a member reports for Active Duty for Training (ACDUTRA) without their original orders falls to the Disbursing Officer. The Disbursing Officer is tasked with handling payments and financial transactions for service members, ensuring that all financial matters are processed correctly and efficiently.

In the case where a member does not have their original orders, it is the Disbursing Officer who has the authority and capability to verify the member's eligibility for payment and to process their pay accordingly. This could involve using alternative forms of verification or documentation to ensure that the service member is properly compensated for their service, despite the absence of the original orders.

Other personnel, such as the Commanding Officer or Admin Officer, may be involved in the administrative aspects of the situation or providing support, but the ultimate responsibility for managing and executing the payment processes lies with the Disbursing Officer. The member's unit might assist by providing necessary information related to the orders, but they do not have direct financial authority.
