PASS TRANSFER UPDATE
Effective 1 October, daily management and operational control of the worldwide network of 66 Personnel
Support Detachments (PSD) and Customer Service Desks (CSD) will transfer from Commander, Navy
Installations Command to Commander, Navy Personnel Command. PSD/CSDs will continue to ensure timely
and accurate pay, personnel, and passenger transportation services to our active and reserve Sailors and
their families. The role of the Command PASS Coordinator (CPC) serves as a critical link between the
supported command and the PSD/CSD. CPC Resources, available on the NPC web site, provide important
information including MILPERSMAN 1000-021. PSD/CSD officers-in-charge and civilian directors will remain
the primary points of contact for resolution of personnel service delivery issues.
