Which funding type represents a supplemental allocation besides OPTAR and Grants?

• A. OPTAR
• B. TADTAR
• C. Augment
• D. Grants

Answer: (B)

Supplemental funding types exist to cover costs that aren’t baked into the unit’s normal budget. OPTAR handles day-to-day operations and activities, while Grants cover certain external support needs. The Travel Allocation for Temporary Additional Duty (TADTAR) is a dedicated supplemental fund specifically for travel costs that come with temporary duties or urgent tasks beyond the regular travel budget. Because it is travel-specific and designated as a supplemental beyond OPTAR and Grants, it’s the appropriate choice when identifying a supplemental allocation outside those two funds. Augment can refer to additional funds in some contexts, but it isn’t the travel-focused supplement described here.
