This thesis attempts to prove that cost-savings are attainable
within the present Department of Defense Household Goods Personal
Property Movement System. Using a sample population of officers
attending the Naval Postgraduate School, the author evaluates
personal property moves within the continental United States and
focuses primarily on accessorial services, which include
packing/loading and unloading/unpacking, for the purpose of
presenting a moving option regarding unpacking at shipment
destination. Two alternatives are proposed that have the potential
to yield substantial dollar savings to the government.
