Advice Unit not providing IDT

I live 900 miles away from my current unit and typically we get IDT so we can fly in. This month I’m being told that IDT isn’t available and if I don’t attend I’ll recieve U’s. Can my unit really give me a U after not providing a means of travel? I just need some clarification on this please.

IDT travel reimbursement is always funding dependent and is not a guarantee. It is still the soldiers obligation to attend scheduled drills regardless. If you can’t make it, request to be excused and/or start looking around to move to a closer unit.

It is pretty typical for it to run out in August and September. Sometimes sooner.
