1. SUMMARY. In the past A/LM has sent an ALDAC to posts prior
to each transfer season to cover key travel and transportation
topics. The number of topics and the length of the ALDAC has
expanded to the point that we decided to try a different
approach this year. The bulk of useful information on the
shipment of personal effects and supplies can be found on the
A/LM webpage and the ELSO web page, respectively, located at:
http://lm.a.state.gov/ and http://elso.a.state.gov/. END
SUMMARY.
2. To help you more easily find the travel and transportation
information you are seeking, we have categorized and then
alphabetically listed some topics, references, and contacts
that can be found on-line. If you need additional assistance
finding information, please send your questions to
TransportationQuery@state.gov.
