Installation Transportation Office

Benefit overview

From scheduling your shipment(s) to navigating the loss and damage claims process, your installation household goods/transportation office guides warfighters and military families through their personal property moves. They serve as liaisons between the service member, the military transportation system and contracted moving companies.

Transportation offices can have different names, depending on the service branch and installation, such as installation transportation office, traffic management office or personal property processing office. Services may vary by location.

How this benefit helps

Expert staff at your installation household goods/transportation office can answer questions about a military PCS before, during and after a move. An outbound office typically helps you arrange and ship your household goods from your current installation, while your inbound office will help you receive and manage deliveries at your new location. Reach out to the office at your outbound installation as soon as you receive your orders. They can help you:
