TADTAR is best described as:

• A. Money allocated to support TAD expenses (schools, emergency leave, travel)
• B. Allocation of funds from TYCOM
• C. Additional allowance, usually an increase in OPTAR funds
• D. Any remaining OPTAR funding that was not spent during the fiscal year

Answer: (A)

TADTAR is money set aside specifically to cover Temporary Additional Duty travel and related expenses. When personnel are on TAD—such as travel, attending schools, or emergency leave—these costs are funded from this dedicated TAD travel authorization within the OPTAR system. It’s not just a general allocation from higher command, nor simply an extra or leftover pool of money; it’s a targeted funding category for TAD needs.

So the best description is that it funds TAD expenses like travel, schools, and emergency leave. The other options describe broader or different funding concepts (a general TYCOM allocation, an added OPTAR allowance, or remaining year-end funds) that don’t capture the purpose of TADTAR.
