Darren McDew, head of TRANSCOM, who directed the consolidation in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service members, DoD civilians and their families will see some improvements by next summer\u2019s moving season, but \u201cit will probably take us two years to get to the point where they say, \u2018Wow, this is much better than it was,\u2019 \u201c said Army Col. Ralph Lounsbrough, personal property division chief in TRANSCOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials will look at persistent issues in new ways. One example: The vast majority of military moves take place in the summer, with moves in late June and early July invariably putting a strain on the capacity of industry to provide the trucks and personnel (such as packers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TRANSCOM officials are discussing with service officials the possibility of spreading out the moves, said Lounsbrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s all about taking care of relocating families,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to look at how do we move a family of four in the middle of October after the school year has started. But there are also people that move during the peak season that maybe are single, that don\u2019t necessarily gain anything by moving in the summer. Maybe there\u2019s some opportunity to spread some of that business over the rest of the year, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of that is DoD personnel decisions, not so much us, but we\u2019ll try to work with them to see if there are some opportunities to spread that volume out a little more than it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the DP3 move, TRANSCOM already directed the Defense Personal Property System, or DPS, which is the web interface that drives the moving process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>ON THE MOVE <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the planned updates to Move.mil will be place in time for the peak moving season next summer, officials said. Service members, military services\u2019 transportation offices, moving companies and others use that interface connect to carry out moves, handle claims and manage other parts of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lounsbrough called the current setup \u201cclunky for the average user.\u201d One of the drawbacks: Every move requires users to start from square one, he said, despite many users moving once every two or three years. A possible model to emulate, he said, would be tax software that pulls in previous years\u2018 data automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019re also looking at adapting the technology for mobile devices, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No plans call for replacing the installation transportation or traffic management office as the primary point of contact for movers with problems, officials said. Those offices are still key in the process. Issues that can\u2019t be solved locally would move up the TRANSCOM ladder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general consensus is that there have been improvements in household goods moves over the past few peak seasons, Lounsbrough said, but that \u201cevery year, as good as we can get this program, there will still be some bad moves. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever completely get rid of that, but we can make it better, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials at TRANSCOM have been talking with industry and service officials, including the senior enlisted advisers, about planned changes. They\u2019re also working with industry on capacity issues, and will try to remove some of the bureaucracy to help industry provide better service to service members, Lounsbrough said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials are trying to streamline the 640-page regulation covering household goods moves, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are very optimistic regarding the new structure. For years we have had to approach three different entities regarding issues having to do with personal property,\u201d said Charles White, senior vice president of the International Association of Movers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany times there was overlap concerning responsibilities and it made advocating for change\/improvement difficult at best. IAM believes that having one entity that is responsible for almost all aspects of the personal property program will be a positive for all of the stakeholders [service members, industry and DOD] involved in the Defense Personal Property Program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improvements ahead for military moves as DoD consolidates the personal property
