Overseas military addresses must contain the APO or FPO designation along with a two–character “state” abbreviation of AE, AP, or AA and the ZIP Code or ZIP+4 Code.
Address codes such as APO (Army/Air Post Office), FPO (Fleet Post Office), and DPO (Diplomatic Post Office) are used to direct mail to U.S. military personnel around the world. These codes are essential for maintaining the security of the service members, as they prevent the disclosure of specific military locations.
The Delivery Address Line for all APO/FPO military mail must be standardized to include the appropriate military address type with its assigned number, plus a box number. There are five possible military address types: CPR (Consolidated Postal Room), OPC (Official Postal Center), PSC (Postal Service Center), UPR (Unit Postal Room), and UNIT.
