The Personal Property directorate at Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command manages the Department of Defense’s Privately Owned Vehicle shipping program and wants service members to know there are several changes in the program starting May 1.
As of May 1, International Auto Logistics will assume the contract to manage DOD’s POV shipping program. While some vehicle processing centers will either close or change locations, the Stuttgart VPC will remain in Building 2931 on Panzer Kaserne. The VPC will be closed May 1 for a German holiday.
Changes occurring with the global privately owned vehicle contract include a new contractor managing daily vehicle processing at vehicle processing centers worldwide; new VPC addresses for vehicle drop offs and pickups; a new website, www.pcsmypov.com, for service members to request and track their POV shipments; and eight VPCs closing U.S. and overseas.
Starting May 1, International Auto Logistics will assume the contract from American Auto Logistics to manage the daily activities associated with the GPOV contract for processing service member’s vehicles worldwide.
“Our goal is for a seamless transition between providers, and we are engaged in daily meetings with International Auto Logistics to ensure as smooth a transition as possible,” said Navy Capt. Aaron Stanley, director of the Personal Property directorate for SDDC. “Likewise, we don’t foresee the need for any major changes in the process used to ship/store privately owned vehicles.”
With the exception of eight cities (domestic and overseas) that will close their VPC locations, many others will remain in the same city, but provide services at a different location and street address. Others, primarily overseas, will continue to operate at the same address and location, simply under new management.

VPC closures
Eight of the current 46 VPCs will permanently close May 1 in both U.S. and overseas locations. VPCs slated for closure in the U.S. are located in Edison, N.J; New Orleans, La; Orlando, Fla; and Oakland, Calif.
VPCs overseas that have closed, or are slated for closure, include Mannheim, Germany (closed); RAF Croughton, England; RAF Menwith Hill, England; and Seville, Spain.
“It is important to note that American Auto Logistics will still be on hand at these eight VPC locations until Aug. 1 to service already processed vehicles until each VPC becomes empty,” said Craig McKinley, supervisory transportation management specialist for the Personal Property directorate. “These eight VPCs on the closure list will not accept new vehicles for processing after April 30.”
Additionally, AAL’s website — www.whereismypov.com — will remain active until all vehicles in their possession have been delivered.
For more information, service members are asked to either contact their transportation office/personal property office, or starting May 1, customers desiring to ship their POV or make an appointment at an VPC with IAL should call:
• For U.S. domestic appointments: 1-855-389-9499
• For appointments in Germany: 0800-227-7447
• For any other locations: 00800-227-7447
Each year, about 68,000 POV shipments occur throughout DOD, of which, about 8,500 vehicles require storage.
