Coordinate reporting, site access and allocated facilities with your unit and the responsible site office before travel. Family support arrangements depend on your duty status.

Confirm the reporting destination

Assigned Soldiers report to their gaining unit before Military Personnel at 622 Swift Road. Cadets and applicants use Academy-specific instructions rather than staff processing.

Plan housing before committing

Ask housing about eligibility, applications and community referrals before signing a lease. Confirm separate unaccompanied arrangements.
