PCS Express — Military Relocation Readiness
PCS Express helps service members and military families simplify Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves through guided workflows, centralized relocation tools, and military-specific resources. Built for all DoD branches, all components (Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, Civilian), and military families.
Who we serve
- Active Duty — All branches and ranks, from junior enlisted to flag officer.
- Reserve Component — Title 10 mobilizations, annual training relocations, and PCS-equivalent moves.
- National Guard — Title 32 activations, AGR, and federal-active orders.
- Military Spouses — Family-side checklists, license portability, and SECO career resources.
- Veterans Transitioning — Post-separation relocation, GI Bill schools, VA benefits, and SCRA protections.
- DoD Civilians — GS, SES, and WG employees with FTR §302 relocation, LQA, and TQSA workflows.
- First-time PCS Families — Step-by-step guidance for the very first move — what to ask, when to ask it.
- CONUS & OCONUS — Stateside moves and overseas PCS with pet-import, country-clearance, and EFMP support.
Features
BAH and OHA calculators, LQA and TQSA workflows, PPM (personally procured move) trackers, weight-allowance estimators, household-goods shipment timelines, in-transit storage policies, partial DITY guidance, allowance comparisons, base-finder tools, school-rating overlays, neighborhood-safety integrations, SCRA-protection checklists, EFMP-family planning, country-clearance workflows for OCONUS moves, and a step-by-step 90-day (CONUS) / 180-day (OCONUS) timeline that adjusts to the user's orders.
How it works
Create a free profile, paste the highlights of your orders, and PCS Express assembles a tailored relocation plan: a date-ordered task timeline, the right calculators for your component (Active / Reserve / Guard / Civilian), the right allowances for your destination (CONUS BAH, OCONUS OHA, civilian LQA), and a side-by-side comparison of your move options (full government move vs. PPM vs. partial DITY). The plan updates as you complete tasks and reflects real DoD policy windows (e.g., the 60-day pre-move government move request window for OCONUS).
Security & privacy
Profile data stays on your device by default (AES-256-GCM at rest in browser storage). HTTPS-only transport. No document uploads, no demographic data collection, no third-party advertising trackers beyond the disclosed AdSense relationship, no session-replay vendors. We disclose every third-party service we route data to in our privacy notice, and explain every DoD-specific calculation in our methodology footnotes.
Independence statement
PCS Express is independent of the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and any branch or component thereof. We don't claim DoD or VA endorsement, accreditation, or sponsorship. Every official allowance number cites the DoD or service-specific source it came from.
