Get oriented
Camp Geiger is the School of Infantry East training campus aboard MCAS New River. ITB, Marine Combat Training and permanent staff have distinct reporting arrangements. [4]
The installation’s 2026 duty order directs entry-level students to their schools, rather than treating general garrison reception as a universal student destination. [8]
Keep these close
Phone numbers belong to the offices named above. Check the linked official pages for current hours and availability.
Prepare for the training site
Coordinate reporting, site access and allocated facilities with your unit and the responsible site office before travel. Family support arrangements depend on your duty status.
The student page distinguishes ITB at G-541 from MCT at G-551-A and directs arriving drivers to the visitor center for the school handoff. Confirm the process for your report date with your battalion before travel.
Student reportingSOI-East explicitly says G-644 on older orders is incorrect. Its pages also publish several ITB contact numbers and differing travel-uniform wording. Resolve the instructions with your battalion rather than combining conflicting directions.
Current student noticeThe entry-level page directs students to report promptly and says their training battalion provides billeting. Confirm delays with the battalion before making a separate hotel booking; this is not a family lodging reservation.
ITB instructionsThe entry-level check-in page is for students. Permanent staff should obtain their own sponsor’s reporting office, duty-hour and after-hours instructions; do not assume the student visitor-center pickup or training billeting applies.
