WHAT IS IMPORTANT!
TOGETHER, WE DELIVER.
…But the Nature (Purpose) of Logistics is Unchanged (Immutable) – To Project / Sustain Military Power

4. WHAT THE PPCIG IS FOR--REMINDER
Used to define requirements/restrictions of the Host-Country destination DURING counseling for IMPORTS to the Country
NOT used to define requirements/restrictions for EXPORTS from the Country
Is one of the foundations of DPS to determine whether the pickup and delivery locations are OCONUS or CONUS based on the mapping and association of Cities to Countries and GBLOCs

5. PPSO RESPONSIBILITIES
The Defense Transportation Regulations, Individual Missions, Roles, and Responsibilities, paragraph X.12.ee. states Transportation Offices are required to ensure their PPCIG page is current.
USTRANSCOM-Pacific recommends:
GBLOCs review their PPCIG page every six (6) months as phone numbers may change without remembering the PPCIG is supposed to be updated
Country Instructions be reviewed for accuracy once every year

6. PPSO REQUIREMENTS
Each GBLOC needs to ensure at least ONE person has the DPS GBLOC PPCIG Manager Role
Having the PPCIG Manager Role ensures the PPSO has the capability to edit the GBLOC page
Phone/Fax numbers
addresses
Transportation Officer name and title
Especially critical for GBLOCs whose Transportation Officer changes frequently due to PCS

7. PPSO REQUIREMENTS (Cont’d)
When a PPSO/PPPO comes across a City not in DPS, PPSO/PPPO in the Pacific AoR NEED to contact USTRANSCOM-Pacific to get the correct City mapped/associated in DPS to the correct GBLOC
STRONGLY SUGGEST the counselor locate the City and Province/Prefecture on-line and provide a map of the location
We will try to find the city via the TRANSCOM Reference Data Management (TRDM) website
If exact City not found, will try to find a City in DPS within 50 miles from the actual city
We will initiate a SRC HelpDesk ticket and forward resolution once received (between 3-5 business days)

8. GBLOC PPCIG EDIT CAPABILITIES
PAST
STRUTS technology was used to display the PPCIG
In 2017, version 1.0 was outdated and no longer supported in web browsers
Added nonsense "<br><br>" whenever someone attempted PPCIG updates
Paragraphs “clumped” together in ONE paragraph, and not reader-friendly

9. GBLOC PPCIG EDIT CAPABILITIES (Cont’d)
CURRENT
SOME edit capabilities restored:
GBLOCs able to update/edit Transportation Officer name and title (which will populate on the GBL)
Weekends and Holidays
Any updates/changes GBLOCs cannot edit requires a DPS HelpDesk Ticket

10. GBLOC PPCIG EDIT CAPABILITIES (Cont’d)

11. COUNTRY INSTRUCTIONS
Any Country requirements/restrictions affecting a customer’s entitlement (i.e.-POV allowed into Country, weight restrictions, etc.) requires vetting by the DoD command responsible for that Country (i.e.-USFK, USFJ, etc.)

13. WHAT IS IMPORTANT

14. WHAT IS IMPORTANT RECENT ISSUES
JAPAN - Privately-Owned Firearms (POF) identified on the GBL, but not included in the shipment—Japan Customs still stopped the shipment for inspection
KOREA - Privately-Owned Vehicles being shipped for Unaccompanied Army personnel (several each year)
AZORES, PORTUGAL – Incorrect Code of Service selected for UB (booked Code 8 vice Code J)
