The joint task force Curtis leads was established in May at the direction of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to improve how the Defense Department moves service members from one assignment to the next.
The task force now has approximately 20 members and will grow to more than 50, Curtis said. The team also collaborates with members from the Transcom operations staff, representatives from each of the military services, including the Coast Guard, personnel from the Office of the Secretary of Defense and representatives from the commercial household goods moving industry.
Curtis said DOD will work through this year's peak moving season, but the goal of the task force is to ensure the department provides the highest quality moving services for service members, civilian employees and their families.
The task force, Curtis said, must build an efficient system to ensure service members will always, to the extent possible, have the best possible moving experience.
"We're working on trust, timeliness and accountability," he said.
