Before the boxes are packed

Plan the move around your household.

Prepare the school transfer

Confirm the receiving district and military-student transition contact.

State compact contacts

Check the journey

Check the route to your actual reporting point, including any journey across state lines. Use current road information and confirm the final entrance separately with the host.

State travel information

Separate troop housing from billeting

Camp Ripley has distinct unit housing and individual billeting arrangements. Ask which office and meal plan apply to your visit.

Training housing, billeting and dining

Official reference

Does an assignment reserve housing or child care?

Confirm eligibility and availability separately with the responsible installation offices.

Official reference

How should we choose a school?

Use the intended home address and receiving district; state compact contacts can help with military-student transition questions.

Sources, names & coverage.

State guide checked . The sources below support this location overview; each reviewed installation guide has its own evidence register.

  • The 5 guides completed an online source review on November 5, 2026. No telephone call, site visit or official endorsement is claimed.
  • Training, research, industrial and academy guides address their own arrival categories; a guide does not establish household-service eligibility.
  • Counts describe guide pages rather than independent host bases. Status and service filters describe the directory classification, not every tenant or duty status.
  • Confirm current command instructions, access, eligibility and availability. Older official directory text can contain dated names, mislabeled contacts or restricted links; precise prices, gate schedules and capacity are not treated as live guarantees.
  • November 7, 2026: targeted follow-up updated flagged profile summaries and practical guidance. Source-specific dates identify this pass; other hub evidence retains its earlier review dates.
