Abstract

This study is a comparison of the 'DO-IT-YOURSELF' (DITY) Household Goods moving program, including both administrative and payment procedures.

This study was supported through personal interviews at the various service headquarters and supporting staffs, personal observations of member counseling sessions, and interviews with major civilian contractors involved in this program. Conclusions are drawn based upon personal observations and interviews with planning and operational staffs while taking into consideration manning types and levels, political limitations and realities, fiscal responsibilities, and, most importantly, the possibility of degradation of service to the member.
