Defense Transportation: Army's Personal Property Pilot Project

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed correspondence stating that the cost of the Army's Personal Property Pilot Project to outsource personal property transportation services at Hunter Army Airfield would greatly exceed the current cost for commercial moving services. GAO focused on the: (1) estimated costs of an average shipment under the pilot project and current program; and (2) basis for the American Movers Conference's, an association of commercial moving companies, estimates. GAO did not independently verify the source data provided by the Army or the American Movers Conference.
