Summer camp orders

Question has probably been asked before and my search tool isn't finding it. Checked reddit and google, so its probably my brain asking the wrong question.

Son got picked up for Camp at Ft. Knox this summer. Do they receive TDY orders and airfare?

Its been so long since I been on orders. He is doing Army OPFOR, so it isn't a direct correlation to Advance camp but wanted to make sure.

He has asked his HR person, but..........

Just figured I would ask if anyone knows.

Ooh, I know some of this one. My son did OPFOR at Ft Knox last summer. He received his TDY travel orders around 48 hours before leaving. The Army paid for the tickets in advance. Super easy. I can't remember what airline he was on but I do know that the luggage limit was much higher on orders. He should also get TSA pre-check. He might need to already have his CAC for that though.

Awesome thank you for the info. Yes he got his CAC soon after contracting.
