WASHINGTON, DC — WERC President and CEO Anupam Singhal released the following statement regarding U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s announcement of the new Personal Property Activity:
“Any physical move by an individual and their families for employment purposes is a significant event in their lives, and this is particularly true for the 300,000-plus U.S. active-duty military service members and their families that complete a permanent change of station (PCS) each year. The establishment of a dedicated, unified entity within the Department of War with clear and direct accountability is essential. As such, WERC applauds President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and the U.S. Department of War on its establishment of the new Personal Property Activity unit under the continued leadership of Major General Curtis. This change will best position the private sector service partners that implement various components of a move to provide the highest caliber of support throughout each move.
“WERC and its members, many of whom are service providers involved with PCS moves, stand ready to support the department in launching the new Personal Property Activity unit and supporting the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.”
