Major PCS Update: What Military Families Need to Know After the DoD Terminates HomeSafe Alliance Contract

By Tami Price, Realtor | Military Relocation Specialist | San Antonio, TX

Military families planning a PCS move in 2025 are facing a major shift in the Department of Defense’s relocation process. In June 2025, the DoD officially terminated its contract with HomeSafe Alliance, the transportation provider responsible for household goods (HHG) moves under the Global Household Goods Contract (GHC). The termination was issued for cause due to performance failures that impacted service delivery to military families.

Why the HomeSafe Alliance Contract Was Terminated

The HomeSafe Alliance was selected to manage military PCS moves under the GHC, a contract intended to modernize and streamline the household goods moving process. However, the company failed to meet implementation benchmarks and received poor performance ratings from service members.

In response, the DoD ended the agreement and has acknowledged that the future of the Global Household Goods Contract is now uncertain. An official statement from the Pentagon outlines the reason for the termination and confirms that additional guidance will follow.

Next Steps for Military Families With PCS Orders

Military families affected by this change, particularly those who have already been assigned HomeSafe through MilMove, should act quickly:

• Contact the local transportation office to receive updated move instructions
• Confirm whether the move will be reassigned to a legacy provider or alternate carrier
• Keep written documentation of all move-related communications

The summer PCS season is already one of the most stressful times of year for military families. With this unexpected contract termination, proactive communication and reliable local support will be key.
