Moving made easy Published Feb. 15, 2012 By Senior Airman Jessica McConnell Minot Air Force Base Public Affairs MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- In an effort to make moving a little bit easier for Airmen and their families, the U.S. Department of Defense United States Transportation Command and the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command developed the Defense Personal Property Program, or DP3. As part of the DP3 mission, an internet-based system to manage household goods moves was created. It's called the Defense Personal Property System. Through DPS, Airmen have the ability to self-counsel and submit their application online, instead of travelling to the transportation office. Also, Airmen can track their shipment through the DPS or the Interactive Voice Response system. Also available through DPS is the option to file a claim online, and to settle directly with one's moving company, called a transportation service provider. Airmen also have the opportunity to make sure only quality, reputable companies handle and ship their personal belongings by completing the customer satisfaction survey. Once Airmen have their travel orders, they can go to www.move.mil and create an account. Once logged in, one can create the shipment orders needed. For help in creating these orders, email personal.property@minot.af.mil. To complete the process, provide required documents through one of the following three ways: print, sign and fax to 723-6067; print, sign, scan and email to personal.property@minot.af.mil; or print, sign, and bring into the TMO office. Shipments will not be completed until required documents have been received and processed. For assistance, call 723-2545/1848 or email personal.property@minot.af.mil. The office also recently relocated. TMO is now located through the Envision Store entrance in building 527.
