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 destination

Soldiers should confirm KALSU Replacement reception at 2443 20th Street with the gaining command. Course, tenant, civilian and contractor arrivals may use different instructions.

Official check-in guidance

Arrange the correct entry

Confirm the campus, entry process and visitor arrangements with the sponsor. Lodging, a map pin or a public event does not authorize routine access.

Official installation resources

Plan housing before committing

Contact the military housing office before committing to a lease. Confirm community referrals, family-housing eligibility and any separate unaccompanied assignment; employment or orders do not reserve a home.

Military housing support

Arrange temporary accommodation

The directory lists IHG Army Hotels Holiday Inn Express. Confirm the property and authorized reservation; a hotel booking does not complete Soldier reception.

Temporary-housing resources

Prepare the school transfer

Confirm the intended home’s state and district with the school liaison. Kentucky, Tennessee and on-installation school arrangements are distinct; an installation mailing address does not select a school.

School transition resources

Arrange child care

Ask child and youth services about eligibility, registration and care covering the actual duty schedule. Apply early and confirm placement; a request is not a reserved space.

Child-care resources

Confirm the care destination

Use Blanchfield and the assigned provider’s current resources to confirm enrollment and clinic location. A specialty contact in a directory is not universal hospital reception.

Medical resources

Connect with household support

Use the installation family-readiness resources for relocation, deployment and household referrals. Confirm the services appropriate to the member’s component and duty status.
