ATA Thanks Secretary Hegseth for Overhauling Military Move Program

Jan 23, 2026

Washington – Today, the American Trucking Associations' Moving & Storage Conference applauded Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that the Pentagon is implementing significant reforms to the moving process for servicemembers and their families to improve the efficiency and quality of military relocations.

"The American Trucking Associations’ Moving and Storage Conference welcomes Secretary’s Hegseth’s continued focus on supporting warfighters and their families," said ATA’s Moving & Storage Conference Executive Director Dan Hilton.  "Today’s announcement is an important step toward more reliable, predictable services for military households – and toward ensuring the Permanent Change of Station process strengthens, rather than strains, readiness. That’s why we’ve long pushed for practical, common-sense reforms that help every relocation be handled smoothly and dependably for those who serve – and why we’ll continue to work with the PCS Joint Task Force and the new Personal Property Activity (PPA), Major General Curtis, and Congress to support our nation’s warfighters with the level of service they deserve."
