POV Entitlement Planning
Military POV rules change materially depending on whether the PCS is CONUS or OCONUS. Phoenix should not blur those two systems. Private commercial auto transport can be relevant to a member-paid CONUS move or an additional vehicle, while an authorized government POV shipment follows official transportation-office and PCSmyPOV procedures.

| Move context | General POV planning direction | Primary authority |
|---|---|---|
| CONUS → CONUS | Private shipping is commonly member-paid if the member chooses not to drive; exceptions may exist | Local transportation office / Military OneSource |
| CONUS ↔ OCONUS or OCONUS ↔ OCONUS | One eligible POV may generally be shipped at government expense subject to orders and restrictions | Transportation office + Global POV/VPC process |
| Additional POV | May require private arrangements and member-paid transport depending on the move | Transportation office before committing to an entitlement assumption |
Military OneSource explains that eligible government POV shipment/storage uses the global POV contractor and Vehicle Processing Centers. PCSmyPOV provides appointment, VPC and documentation information. Phoenix should not represent a private booking as the government entitlement process.
Although Alaska and Hawaii are U.S. states, Military OneSource places them in OCONUS terminology for PCS planning. A privately arranged additional vehicle can also involve ocean/port logistics that are separate from the government-authorized POV.
A Phoenix quote describes a privately arranged transport service. Whether any portion is authorized or reimbursable is an official PCS/finance question and should be resolved through the appropriate military office.
Yes. Military OneSource defines OCONUS as locations outside the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., including Alaska and Hawaii.
Phoenix does not present its private customer-coordination service as the government Global POV Contract. Eligible official shipments should follow the transportation office and PCSmyPOV/VPC process.
Military OneSource says members who want to make their own arrangements for more than one POV should contact their local transportation office. Any privately arranged additional shipment should be treated separately from the government entitlement.
