SUBJ:  COVID-19: TEMPORARY CHANGE TO THE CG SUPPLEMENT TO JTR – VEHICLE
PROCESSING CENTER (VPC) SELECTION
A. Coast Guard Supplement to the JTR (CGS_JTR), Par 053001-A
B. Joint Travel Regulations, Par 053001-B.3
1. This ALCOAST announces a temporary change to the CGS-JTR, REF (A),
affecting members’ choice of the use of a VPC for government funded
shipment of their Personally Owned Vehicle (POV). The temporary change
in this message is effective from 01 January 2021 and expires on
31 December 2021.
2. REF (B) dictates the Service concerned designates the ports or VPCs
to be used. REF (A) further designates the Ports of Embarkation, Ports
of Debarkation and VPC are the closest ones to the old and new PDS.
3. Due to the effects of COVID-19 to the shipping and transportation
industry, the mandatory use of the closest VPC is temporarily relaxed
until 31 Dec 2021. Members may utilize the VPC of their choosing as
long as that facility is the closest to their old PDS, new PDS, or
along the direct route between the two. All other provisions in REF (A)
remain unchanged.
4. Members must indicate their alternate VPC selection on their Float
Plans, receive concurrence from their receiving command, and have their
orders or amendment indicate their alternate VPC selection.
5. For general policy questions, members should contact their local
Personnel and Administration office. If the Personnel and Administration
office requires a policy determination, contact COMDT (CG-1332)
at: HQS-DG-1st-CG-1332-Travel@uscg.mil.
