Base essentials.
Each detail has its own dated source. Confirm current procedures and availability with the responsible organization.
Prepare for the training site
Training & visits.
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.
Verify installation entry
Ask the host for current visitor and gate directions. An old closure notice does not establish today’s route.
Installation resourcesArrange accommodation
Separate unit training billeting from individually booked lodging. Confirm eligibility and availability.
Lodging informationMatch support to duty status
Ask the unit which household and administrative support applies to the assignment.
Installation informationPlan any school transfer
For a household move, ask the receiving school division to review your address, orders and enrollment documents. Discuss temporary housing or a pending transfer directly; attendance at a training course does not by itself establish school residency.
Virginia enrollment guidancePrepare for the visit
