Movers for America applauds Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for taking decisive action to fix the military’s Permanent Change of Station (PCS) system and for elevating this mission to the highest levels of leadership within the Department of Defense. Treating military moves as a priority and placing direct responsibility under the Secretary sends a clear message that the readiness of service members and their families matters to America’s national security.
We also commend Army Major General Lance Curtis for his leadership of the PCS Task Force, and we urge him to find an ongoing mechanism to consult with the moving experts across the supply chain to avoid another failure like the GHC. A collaborative approach is essential to forging real, lasting solutions that ensure household goods arrive on time, arrive undamaged, and that families receive clear, timely communication throughout the moving process.
The military moving industry stands ready to work hand-in-hand with the Department of Defense to meet these goals. From the move managers who coordinate complex logistics and bring together every piece of the process, to the local agents, independent owner-operators, and storage providers who execute these moves on the ground, our industry is united in its commitment to delivering a better experience for service members and their families.
We agree that treating PCS moves as a core mission will strengthen America’s ability to wage war in the future. When military families can move with confidence and stability, service members can focus fully on the mission. Movers for America looks forward to partnering with the Department of Defense to modernize the PCS system and deliver the reliability and accountability our military families deserve.
