RELO Roundtable…a gathering place

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. – According to Army Maj. James F. Lowe of the USTRANSCOM public affairs office, officials at the U.S. Transportation Command launched an improved website this week to assist both the military services and transportation service providers (TSPs) in using the Defense Personal Property System, or DPS.

DPS is a new centralized, integrated computer system designed to support the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command's (SDDCs) Defense Personal Property Program (DP3) as the one-stop source for managing personal property moves worldwide.

The Web site — www.Move.mil — has been redesigned for its three types of users: Service members and civilians who are processing a move in DPS, Personal Property Shipping Offices, or PPSOs, who coordinate and support the moves, and TSPs who pack and transport household goods.

Officials encourage users new to www.Move.mil or familiar with the old site, to start their www.Move.mil experience by selecting their user type on the front page and taking a short video tour.

The improvements aim to make the site more user-friendly and helpful. In addition to some new features, most of the information previously available is still on the site, reorganized and updated where possible.

With the new Web site, officials know the site will still need some adjustments and will carefully consider all feedback. (Compliments are welcome, too!) Send your feedback to the Move.mil webmaster at
move.mil.webmaster@ustranscom.mil.

In addition, to help transportation officials gauge the overall success of DPS and to identify the best providers, customers are encouraged to fill out the DPS Customer Satisfaction Survey after delivery of their household goods. The survey is also available online at Move.mil.
