Find the right organization

Assignments & visits.

Match the assignment or appointment to the responsible organization. Confirm reporting, access and household-support eligibility with the sponsor or host.

Confirm the reporting destination

Confirm the assigned office or hiring organization and arrange Pass and Tag or visitor processing as instructed. Visitor registration does not complete employee or military onboarding.

Official check-in guidance

Arrange the correct entry

Confirm the campus, entry process and visitor arrangements with the sponsor. Lodging, a map pin or a public event does not authorize routine access.

Official installation resources

Plan housing before committing

Confirm military housing-referral eligibility and community options with the housing office. Civilian employment, a contractor visit or test assignment does not guarantee a military home.

Military housing support

Arrange temporary accommodation

The directory labels the available contact recreational lodging and billeting. Confirm whether it is appropriate for official travel rather than assuming a family PCS hotel.

Temporary-housing resources

Prepare the school transfer

Use the school liaison and the intended home address to identify the receiving district, records and enrollment process. Confirm arrangements before choosing housing.

School transition resources

Arrange child care

Ask child and youth services about eligibility, registration and care covering the actual duty schedule. Apply early and confirm placement; a request is not a reserved space.

Child-care resources

Confirm the care destination

Distinguish installation occupational-health resources from household primary care. Confirm eligibility and the enrolled community or military provider.

Medical resources

Connect with household support

Ask the listed support office which referrals cover this industrial community and the household’s employment or military status. Confirm where the service is actually delivered.

Family-readiness resources
