DD Form 1384 Transportation Control Document Details

The Transportation Control and Movement Document (TCMD) is a critical element of U.S. Department of Defense transportation logistics, governed by the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) and applicable federal acquisition policy. The document captures all data required to move government cargo safely and accountably: Transportation Control Number (TCN), commodity description, dimensions, weight, date of shipment, special handling codes, Mode of Transportation, and estimated arrival date.

Each section of the TCMD serves a distinct logistics purpose. The Point of Embarkation (POE) and Point of Debarkation (POD) fields establish origin and destination. The Project Code, Routing Identifier Code (RIC), and Priority fields govern movement scheduling. Defense agencies and authorized contractors rely on these details to ensure accurate delivery tracking and historical accountability for all government shipments.

Related documents often filed alongside the TCMD include the Bill of Lading, the Air Cargo Manifest, and other DD Forms used in military travel and logistics. Proper completion of this official document is required by federal regulations for all eligible Department of Defense shipments.
