Q: Are there specific APO guidelines for Iraq?
1. The average transit time to area of responsibility (AOR) for pro-grade mail (mail entering the AOR) is: Letters (12.51 days) Parcels (13.05 days)
2. Mail for Iraq is flown to Bahrain, and is flown daily to Baghdad (and to various other locations in Iraq) on DHL aircraft.
3. The average transit time from AOR for retrograde mail (mail leaving the AOR) is: 11 days
4. The United States Postal Service (USPS) is currently sending mail 7 days per week, with approximately 8-10 flights per week.
5. Mailing restrictions “H1- Pork or pork by-products are prohibited and “V- Express Mail Military Service (EMMS)” not available from any origin are the most common restrictions for IRAQ.
6. The major cause of late delivery of mail to outlying posts is the threat of attacks. If the roads are at condition RED, no trucks move: this could last anywhere from 24-72 hours. As of 10 May 2004, there had been only 1 truck reported hit; that truck caught fire. KBR contractors as well as US Military convoys must await an armed escort to move mail throughout the AOR.
7. All mailing restrictions for Overseas Military Mail can be located in the most current USPS Postal Bulletin at START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

8. PS Form 2976 or PS Form 2976-A is required on all mail articles containing merchandise.
9. Mailers should avoid including the city and country name in the mailing address of an APO/FPO. This could confuse domestic mailings with international mail.
