FSGA/HAAF PCS Levy Briefing
REASSIGNMENT PROCESSING CENTER/SECTION (PCS)
The mission of the Reassignment Processing Center/Section (PCS Section) is to provide equitable, effective, and efficient HR services to Soldiers and their Family Members on assignment instructions, ensuring a smooth, timely, and "trouble-free" permanent change of station (PCS) move.
I. How to request PCS Orders
·       The levy packet is no longer a requirement to request PCS Orders.
 
·       The levy brief is available for general PCS information.  You are welcome to review the slides for your situational awareness.
          a. CONUS/Stateside
·       Reassignment notification is sent through IPPS-A to Soldier’s enterprise email. Soldiers must follow instructions and complete Member Elections in IPPS-A. Log onto IPPS-A https://my.ippsa.army.mil/ and complete your Member Elections.
 
·       MPD cannot process PCS orders if Member Elections are not completed.
 
·       Notify MPD once Member Elections are completed via email usarmy.stewart.id-readiness.mbx.dhr-hunter-mpd@army.mil

          b. OCONUS/Overseas Assignment

·       Members initiate Family Medical Travel Screening (FMTS). Login to https://efmp.army.mil/home. As you prepare for a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), the Family Medical Travel Screening (FMTS) is a crucial step used to determine whether each Family member is medically and educationally cleared to accompany a service member on an overseas or remote assignment. Complete this step ONLY if you’re planning to take your Family Members with you to your next Overseas Assignment.
 
·       Once you initiate the FMTS process, the EFMP Screening Questionnaire (DA 7246) and the Family Member Deployment Screening Sheet (DA 5888) will be used by your losing installation to identify any potential medical, educational, or developmental needs of your Family members. Your gaining installation then determines the available care, especially if a Family member is already enrolled in EFMP. This process leads to a recommendation for the Family to travel or not.
 
·       Notify MPD once Member Elections are completed via email usarmy.stewart.id-readiness.mbx.dhr-hunter-mpd@army.mil
 
·       PCS orders will be published within 5 business days once the gaining installation determines the recommendation for the Family to travel or not. PCS Orders are automatically transmitted to iPERMS; an email notification will be sent to the Soldier.
