Life around your next station

Moving & living.

Start with your sponsor and the installation’s official newcomer resources. Confirm the arrangements that apply to your household before you travel.

Confirm the reporting point

Use the gaining unit's Command Support Staff for duty-day in-processing. Confirm the sponsor and Sagebrush Inn after-hours arrangements before setting out.

Reporting resources

Arrange authorized entry

Confirm the actual campus and purpose with the sponsor. A reservation or appointment does not by itself grant installation access.

Installation resources

Plan housing before committing

Confirm housing eligibility and applications before committing to a home. Unaccompanied assignments, military families and civilian employees have different arrangements.

Housing resources

Arrange temporary accommodation

Contact the Sagebrush Inn for a confirmed reservation, household needs and any nonavailability process. Check current pet and late-arrival arrangements rather than relying on old room counts or rates.

Lodging resources

Prepare 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 resources

Arrange child care

Use current child-care resources to confirm eligibility, registration and actual placement. A submitted request does not reserve a space.

Child-care resources

Confirm the care destination

Use the 366th Medical Group and the enrolled care team for current appointments and referrals. Confirm which care requires a different facility.

Medical resources

Connect with household support

Ask the named family-readiness office about relocation and household referrals appropriate to the member’s component and duty status.
