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 authorized entry
Confirm the actual campus and purpose with the sponsor. A reservation or appointment does not by itself grant installation access.
Installation resourcesPlan housing before committing
Confirm housing eligibility and applications before committing to a home. Unaccompanied assignments, military families and civilian employees have different arrangements.
Housing resourcesArrange temporary accommodation
The Navy Lodge Washington DC is on JBAB, a separate installation. Confirm a reservation and JBAB access; do not interpret a regional lodging listing as a hotel at the Navy Yard.
Lodging resourcesPrepare school records
Use the intended home address and receiving district to confirm enrollment. Ask the school liaison about records and military-student transition support.
School resourcesArrange child care
Use current child-care resources to confirm eligibility, registration and actual placement. A submitted request does not reserve a space.
Child-care resourcesConfirm the care destination
The Navy Yard clinic supports military personnel; confirm eligibility and services directly. Family enrollment and specialist or hospital care may use other National Capital Region facilities.
Medical resourcesConnect with household support
Ask the named family-readiness office about relocation and household referrals appropriate to the member’s component and duty status.
