(Kambra Blackmon/Navy) COVID could affect military moves well into the new year, but U.S. Transportation Command reports that backlogs are clear, and the move situation in 2021 should be consistent with previous years. The pandemic stopped most military moves in March. Moves resumed in the middle of the year, continuing well toward the end of the year. By November, the services had reported that their household goods backlogs were clear, and their shipment volumes have return to typical levels for this point in the calendar year, said Andre Kok, spokesman for U.S. Transportation Command. As of Dec. 15, commercial movers had moved 321,000 household goods and unaccompanied baggage shipments and 57,000 vehicles, representing 85 percent of the volume in 2019.
