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 gaining unit

Get your unit’s reporting building, entrance and after-hours contact before departure. A Dobbins lodging reservation identifies a place to stay; it does not establish where your unit expects you to report.

Dobbins service directory

Arrange authorized accommodation

The force-support directory lists Dobbins Inn at 1295 Barracks Court, Building 800. Confirm availability and arrival arrangements with lodging, and separately confirm duty authorization with your unit before paying for accommodation.

Match support to duty status

Ask your unit for the current Family Support contact and confirm which programs and referrals apply to your duty status. The linked guide is dated August 31, 2015; its contacts and program details are historical and need reconfirmation.

Separate Clay and former NAS directions

The National Guard’s site report distinguishes Clay National Guard Center, on former NAS Atlanta property, from adjacent Dobbins ARB. Ask your host which installation and entrance applies; the old naval name is not a current Navy reception point.

Clay site identity report

Prepare school records

Before choosing housing, ask the receiving district to confirm the school serving that address, enrollment records and the appropriate military-family contact.
