Military life means moving, whether its temporary duty or a PCS move. Moving to a new duty station requires working closely with the transportation office and a local moving company.
We assist military members and their families by providing:
- A stress-free relocation
- Information designed to help organize every detail of the move
Remember to ask your transportation counselors to select Mayflower for you when arranging your next move.

DPS & DP3 System (VBO RELO is a top rated TSP)
As a centralized, integrated system, Defense Personal Property System (DPS) will support Defense Personal Property Program (DP3) as the one-stop source for managing personal property moves. Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) will have oversight of claims and Transportation Service Provider (TSP) information in one convenient location. In addition, DPS will provide the convenience of 24/7 access to personal property shipment information and a conduit for a direct relationship between Department of Defense (DOD) members and TSPs throughout the entire moving process.
The Do-It-Yourself (DITY) Move
The DITY program is basically a self-help moving program which offers a monetary incentive to active servicemembers who do their own packing, crating and moving of personal property. The government pays the member 95 percent of what it would have cost the government to move the property up to the member’s maximum authorized weight allowance. In return, the servicemember must take care of his/her moving arrangements and expenses.
If you make a DITY move and your total move costs are less than the DITY allowance the government gives you, you keep the difference. In other words, if you go about your move in an economical manner, you will have money left for yourself -- a nice reward for the time you have personally invested to take care of your move.
For more on how you can take advantage of this program, and the steps you should take to get the most out of your buck, read through this DITY guide.
