AIR MOBILITY COMMAND –PATRIOT EXPRESS, KNOWN AS A-M-C-P-E, IS THE ONLY AUTHORIZED MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FROM THE UNITED STATES TO JAPAN. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR ORDERS, YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DMO PASSENGER TRAVEL OFFICE TO RESERVE SEATS ON THE FLIGHT.
PET SPACES ABOARD PATRIOT EXPRESS FLIGHTS ARE LIMITED, SO YOU MUST IDENTIFY YOUR PET TRANSPORT REQUIREMENTS TO YOUR LOCAL DMO PASSENGER TRAVEL OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND BE SURE TO NOTIFY YOUR SPONSOR IF YOU ARE TRAVELING WITH PETS.
ACCOMPANIED MARINES REPORTING TO OKINAWA OR IWAKUNI ARE DIRECTED TO APPLY FOR HOUSING WITH THE APPROPRIATE MILITARY HOUSING OFFICE. UNACCOMPANIED MARINES WILL BE ASSIGNED GOVERNMENT QUARTERS UPON ARRIVAL.
