GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Situation.  The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a significant risk to DoD Service members, employees, their families, and Household Goods (HHG) Industry Transportation Service Provider (TSP) representatives who service DoD HHG moves.  As the Marine Corps and the rest of the Nation seek to safely normalize operations in a COVID-19 environment, we need to ensure that our Marines, Sailors, and their families can safely execute permanent change of station (PCS) orders.  While the Marine Corps continues limited moves in the current Stop Movement period and prepares for increased PCS HHG movement requirements when Stop Movement is lifted or modified, the Marine Corps will implement additional measures to ensure the safety of all involved to deliver a safe, quality moving and storage experience for our Marines and their families and ensure the continued readiness of the force.
2.  Mission.  Effective immediately, Commanders will oversee the implementation of Health Safety Screening (HSS) actions during the execution of HHG moves in order to reduce risk to the force.
3.  Execution.
3.a.  Commander’s Intent.
3.a.1.  Purpose.  To protect the health and safety of Marines, their families and TSP Representatives executing HHG operations and to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
3.a.2.  Method.  Execute a layered defense for health screening of TSP Representatives, Service members, employees, and their families through a combination of Transportation Command directed TSP HSS, Installation commander verification of TSP HSS compliance, and unit commander engagement throughout the process.
3.a.3.  End State.  100% screening of all personnel involved in a HHG move so our Marines, Sailors, and family members know their leaders care for them and are ready and willing to help through active Command involvement in their Marine’s and Sailor’s move.  Assurance that we will deliver a safe, quality moving and storage experience.
3.b.  Concept of Operations.  This is a two phase operation.  Phase 1, Immediate Actions, begin now and comprise actions required within the Stop Movement period established by SECDEF in ref (a).  Phase 2, Sustained Actions, begins with the lifting of Stop Movement period as Phase 1 actions transition to an enduring requirement.  Transition to Phase 2 information will be provided as an update to this MARADMIN based on lessons learned, a more evolved understanding of the threat, and guidance from higher headquarters as appropriate.
3.b.1.  Scheme of Maneuver.  During Phase 1, the Marine Corps executes a layered defense to minimize the risk to the Service member, family and TSP Representatives while executing a safe move.  The defensive plan starts with TRANSCOM and the TSP.  TRANSCOM requires each TSP to conduct a prescribed employee health safety screening prior to each daily mission.  Installation Commanders will verify TSP compliance with TRANSCOM established health screening requirements prior to contact with the service member.  The defensive plan continues with all commanders ensuring that a command representative visits transitioning Marines and Sailors during move-in/move-out periods at their residence.  In cases where geographic distance makes this impractical, voice or video contact is acceptable.  The purpose of this visit is to ensure an understanding of health safety protocols per ref (e) and remind our Marines, Sailors, and families that if they observe something that is unsafe or unhealthy, they are empowered and encouraged to immediately address the issue and, if necessary, contact their Distribution Management Office and/or the chain of command to resolve the issue to their satisfaction.  These requirements are additive to the continued Quality Assurance responsibilities which remain the responsibility of the Distribution Management Offices.
3.c.  Tasks.
3.c.1.  Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics.
3.c.1.a.  Coordinate with USTRANSCOM J-9 (TCJ9).  Ensure distribution of health safety information to enable compliance with health screening requirements.

3.c.3.  Commander, Marine Corps Installations Command.
3.c.3.a.  Coordinate installation, MARFOR and tenant organization actions to achieve directed end state and to provide unit commanders with visibility of projected member inbound and outbound movement dates in the most effective manner possible.
