"Key Bridge collapse affecting shipments of some troops’ belongings"

From https://www.airforcetimes.com | By Karen Jowers | Mar 28 [2024].

"Some troops' shipments may be delayed because of the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Parts of the Francis Scott Key Bridge remain after a container ship collided with a support column March 26, 2024, causing the suspension of all vessel traffic into and out of the Port of Baltimore. (WJLA via AP)"

"Some shipments of troops’ household goods and personal vehicles have stalled after Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday, halting vessel traffic at the Port of Baltimore, U.S. Transportation Command said Wednesday."

"No military operations have been affected by the port’s inability to send out or receive ships, command spokesman Erik Anthony told Military Times."

"TRANSCOM officials are working with the military services, the household goods-shipping contractors and the vehicle-shipping contractor to identify which belongings are affected"

Comments:

* It has always been the case that enlisted during a permanent change of station [PCS] were always allowed to ship four-hundred pounds [about 180 kg.] of personal items to their next duty station.

* Officers and career NCO's with family allowed to ship in excess of the four-hundred pounds.
