Defense Transportation: The Armys Hunter Pilot Project is Inconclusive but Provides Lessons Learned

Abstract

DOD has long been concerned about the quality of service it provides military personnel and their families when they relocate. DOD spends approximately $3 billion annually to transport, store, and manage the household goods and unaccompanied baggage of its servicemembers and families. Past problems included poor service from movers, excessive incidence of loss or damage to servicemembers' property, and high claims costs to the government. All of these problems contributed to poor quality of service for people using the system.
