Station (TCS) deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation
Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
Soldiers eligible for HHG/POV storage are those who are single; married, if dual-military

Pay area. The shipment of TDY HHG weight allowance must be authorized in the TCS
orders. Soldiers assigned to Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger Pay areas are authorized
travel with four bags. (**The Department of State funds Unaccompanied Baggage

HHG Storage/Shipping: Requests must include the following.
a) Copy of all applicable TCS orders and amendments
b) Proof of eligibility (for storage). For single soldier’s, provide a copy of the
Leave & Earning Statement (LES), or Officer Record Brief (ORB) / Enlisted Record Brief
(ERB). If married, include the current Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or OCO TCS
order of the dual-military spouse.
c) Statement of requested entitlement (e.g., HHG storage, POV storage, or TDY
HHG shipment). Identify if storage/shipment is Government arranged or Personally

d) Include “OCO TCS” in subject line
e) Include estimated cost and weight of stored/shipped HHGs
During OEF/OIF OCO deployments, a unit or military installation deployment lot must be
utilized when available. If a soldier elects not to utilize a deployment lot, then
commercial POV storage will not be authorized and associated costs are not
reimbursable. If parking is unavailable in a servicing installation deployment lot, then a
request for commercial POV storage must be submitted to ASC for approval prior to the
soldier’s deployment. Commercial POV storage will be procured and initially financed by
the service member, but reimbursed after redeployment. Storage at a Government
contracted Vehicle Processing Center (VPC) is not authorized when deployed on OCO
TCS orders. If both HHG and POV storage is required, submit requests to mailbox
[email protected]. For POV storage only, submit
requests to ASC ILD mailbox [email protected].
Commercial POV Storage: Requests must include the following.
a) Copy of all applicable TCS orders and amendments
b) Proof of eligibility (same requirement as for HHG storage)
c) Memo (or message) from servicing Installation Transportation Officer (ITO)
verifying no availability in a POV deployment lot
d) Include “OCO TCS – Commercial POV Storage” in subject line
e) The soldier will be advised of the allowable maximum monthly storage cost
for the region. After redeployment, the soldier will submit a copy of the POV storage
invoice to ASC. The invoice must be paid in full; indicate a zero balance owed. In turn,
ASC will provide a memo with applicable fiscal year LOAs, which must then accompany
the reimbursement voucher submitted to DFAS.
