Peak Season Movement of Household Goods.

摘要

This paper examines DA individual personnel assignment and volume move policies and procedures that generate PCS actions requiring the movement of household goods which contribute to the 'peak season' surge of such shipments between mid-May and mid-September of each year. During this period, in excess of 46 percent of Army PCS moves involving the shipment of household goods occur along with a similar condition within the other services and the civilian sector. The data analyzed by the report were obtained by personal and telephonic interviews of knowledgeable key personnel of the DA staff, selected activities and installations, and the data bases of the U. S. Army Military Personnel Center and the Military Traffic Management Command. Recommendations are made regarding the establishment of control and suspense measures at appropriate organizational levels to facilitate outprocessing of personnel and regarding study of the feasibility of leveling household goods movements throughout the year.
