Government procured move blackout in effect until Aug.10 Published July 7, 2015 By 28th Logistics Readiness Squadron 28th Logistics Readiness Squadron ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. -- Due to market saturation in the commercial moving industry, a blackout for government procured shipments originating in South Dakota is currently in effect through mid-August for all personnel who intend to schedule a government procured move or release of non-temporary storage. According to the Regional Joint Personal Property Shipping Office, the earliest date personnel can request to schedule pack and pick-up of goods or release of non-temporary storage is Aug. 10. In addition, all local area delivery requests for moves to base housing or non-temporary storage will require 30 days of lead-time before being processed as a result of the increased volume of military members changing stations during the summer season.
