(SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHIPMENTS TO USAKA/RTS)

Most CONUS suppliers ship Kwajalein bound freight to the San Leandro, CA facility where it is (1) received and inspected for compliance with USAKA purchase orders; (2) consolidated into sea cargo containers or air freight pallets; (3) transferred to the appropriate Defense Transportation System (DTS); and (4) shipped to the USAKA receiving operation at Kwajalein.  Ocean transportation is either direct from the West Coast to Kwajalein or through Honolulu to Kwajalein.  These U. S. Army receiving operations are available to support authorized Range User freight movements to Kwajalein by receiving shipments and introducing them into the DTS.

Other channels for authorized Range User shipments to Kwajalein include:

  • Installation Transportation Offices (ITO) at Army installations
  • Traffic Management Offices (TMO) at USAF installations

Upon receipt of valid Transportation Account Codes (TAC) and DOD Activity Address Codes (DODAAC) theses offices can arrange for portal to portal shipments.  They will arrange intra-CONUS movement to either a Water Port of Embarkation (WPOE) or an Aerial Port of Embarkation (APOE) or a Government Bill of Lading (GBL).  They will utilize the Integrated Booking System (IBS) for ocean shipment Export Traffic Releases (ETR) and the Air Clearance Authority (ACA) for clearing air shipments in the Defense Transportation System (DTS).

PORTAL TO PORTAL SHIPMENTS THROUGH A BASE TMO OR AN INSTALLATION ITO:
Authorized organizations with a valid DODAAC and TAC should contact the nearest cognizant TMO or ITO to arrange portal to portal transportation.
