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.
Arrange campus entry
Before booking travel, ask the host to confirm the reporting point, arrival contact and any approval needed for your purpose of visit.
Official commandArrange suitable accommodation
Ask the Coast Guard host or travel office about authorized lodging and household referrals. A headquarters assignment does not reserve a room or establish nearby military-housing eligibility.
Accommodation contactsPrepare a household move
Confirm school enrollment for the intended home address; use compact contacts for military-student transitions.
School transition contactsCheck the journey
Review closures and delays along your intended route before leaving. Obtain the final entrance and reporting point from your host rather than relying on the base name alone.
Transportation resourcesPrepare for local alerts
Review the linked preparedness information for your destination. Identify local alerts and ask the receiving organization how it issues site-specific instructions.
