WHAT THE PPCIG IS FOR--REMINDER Used to define requirements/restrictions of the Host-Country destination DURING counseling for IMPORTS to the Country NOT used to define requirements/restrictions for EXPORTS from the Country Is one of the foundations of DPS to determine whether the pickup and delivery locations are OCONUS or CONUS based on the mapping and association of Cities to Countries and GBLOCs

PPSO RESPONSIBILITIES The Defense Transportation Regulations, Individual Missions, Roles, and Responsibilities, paragraph X.12.ee. states Transportation Offices are required to ensure their PPCIG page is current. USTRANSCOM-Pacific recommends: GBLOCs review their PPCIG page every six (6) months as phone numbers may change without remembering the PPCIG is supposed to be updated Country Instructions be reviewed for accuracy once every year

PPSO REQUIREMENTS Each GBLOC needs to ensure at least ONE person has the DPS GBLOC PPCIG Manager Role Having the PPCIG Manager Role ensures the PPSO has the capability to edit the GBLOC page Phone/Fax numbers Email addresses Transportation Officer name and title Especially critical for GBLOCs whose Transportation Officer changes frequently due to PCS
