Find out about your new military assignment: your transfer order will indicate the start date of your assignment. In addition, to help you get organized, make sure you are aware of the context of your transfer: the location, working hours, possible departures on external operations, as well as everything concerning your arrival town (schools and all other amenities). Anticipation is the key to a successful move.

Plan your move. You can use the “classic” system, i.e. find a mover on your own, with an advance payment. The second option is to use the official PFMD (Plateforme Multi-Déménageurs) websites. PFMDs are provided by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. The advantage of the PFMD is that you benefit from the expertise of professionals to organize your move, who will offer you a minimum of 2 quotes below your financial ceiling. What’s more, all processes are dematerialized, making them quick and easy. With the official PFMD Muter Loger website, you can estimate your entitlements in just a few clicks and receive quotes after a call with a moving expert who will guide you through the entire process.
