Each detail has its own dated source. Confirm current procedures and availability with the responsible organization.

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.

Identify the receiving MK organization

The Black Sea newcomer portal supports PCS and temporary-duty arrivals. Have the sponsor confirm the unit, reporting point and applicable checklist before treating the Romanian air base as one reception office.

Black Sea newcomer resources

Separate rotational from permanent-party housing

The published policy places rotational personnel in on-post barracks, coordinated by their unit. Permanent-party military and civilians use community housing; confirm which category applies before making arrangements.

Black Sea permanent and rotational housing

Coordinate temporary accommodation after orders

The accommodation guide directs authorized travelers to community hotels and says there is no installation lodging facility. Confirm the arrangement with the sponsor; this is separate from unit barracks.

Black Sea temporary accommodations

Resolve non-DoD schooling before enrollment

The garrison provides a non-DoD school planning guide. Discuss authorization, tuition, learning needs and transport with the responsible education contact before committing to a school.

Black Sea non-DoD school planning

Use the MK medical entry

The current directory lists MK’s Joint Aid Station in Building P3002. Confirm available care and referral arrangements with that team, rather than using the separate Novo Selo medical entry.

Black Sea service directory: select MK

Ask MK MWR about local programs

The directory places MK MWR in Building P7202, Room 104. Check the current activity and location; Black Sea listings also include programs at Novo Selo in Bulgaria.

Black Sea service directory: select MK

Confirm pet-friendly lodging explicitly

The accommodation page warns that pet-friendly hotels are limited and veterinary care is in the local community. Resolve any authorized pet arrangements with the sponsor before making a reservation.
