Non-temporary Storage

Personnel arriving at the USAWC, a course of instruction lasting more than 20 weeks, should request Non-Temporary Storage at government expense for the portion of personal property for which they do not anticipate a need while at this installation. ;Requests for NTS at Origin need Service Secretarial approval. Due to the size of student quarters, it is strongly recommended that arrangements for NTS at Origin be made for personal property shipments in excess of 12,000 pounds. ;This is a suggested storage weight and will vary between quarters. ;If NTS is arranged at origin, the property will be placed in a commercial storage facility near the service member's current duty station ;or port of debarkation for personnel returning from overseas assignments. ;Non-temporary Storage ;is only authorized at government expense for property within the total authorized weight allowance and for service members who are assigned to government quarters. ;Carlisle Barracks/United States Army War College does not have the ability to provide for excess to quarters which is why we strongly recommend NTS at Origin, also known as your previous duty ;station. ;Any household goods that do not fit into quarters are the responsibility of the service member to obtain their ;own personal storage which is not a reimbursable expense.

When you receive your HHG shipments you must ensure that the carrier removes all packing and crating material that they unpack on the day of delivery before being released. ;If you fail to do so, packing materials will have to be removed at your expense. ;If a carrier agent agrees to return at a later date to remove cartons and packing materials, make sure that you annotate this ;including carrier agent's name and office phone number ;on the DD Form 619-1 Statement of Accessorial Services performed ;before you let them leave. ;If you reside off post not in government quarters, storage of excess property at government expense is not authorized at destination.

If you will be residing in housing on the base and decide to unpack a portion of your HHG on your own or you performed a PPM, you can dispose of the packing materials in the designated crates that will be set up in the housing area. Do not utilize your garbage and recycling cans or leave the packing materials at the curb.

The date of arrival shown on the Carlisle Barracks/United States Army War College questionnaire is not a request for delivery of household goods. You must call the TSP/Destination Agent to arrange delivery. When household goods are to be delivered, the individual or agent must be present. Delivery hours are between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Personnel signing for government quarters on the date of delivery should allow sufficient time to inspect quarters prior to scheduled delivery.

Storage Information

All household goods and unaccompanied baggage shipments can be stored at government expense for up to 90 days. Deliveries from Storage in Transit can be scheduled on weekends or holidays during Peak Season only, for United States Army War College students. PPPO/QA assistance is made available for deliveries scheduled during this time. Average time for delivery from SIT is five to 10 days.
