Get oriented

At a glance.

Northwest Annex is the Chesapeake property of NSA Hampton Roads. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and other tenants have distinct reporting and support arrangements. [2]

The annex’s Chesapeake location is separate from the Norfolk headquarters. Use the tenant command and Northwest destination rather than a generic Hampton Roads address. [1]

Keep these close

Base essentials.

At your fingertips

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

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

Follow the gaining tenant’s instructions. The official check-in page lists separate duty contacts for Coast Guard, brig, Marine training and other commands; orders govern unlisted organizations.

Reporting instructions

Arrange access with the sponsor

Check the actual gate and visitor process before arrival. An airport terminal, lodging reservation or map pin does not grant military access.

Official installation resources

Set up housing support

Use the Navy Housing Service Center for regional applications and community referrals. Ask the command about unaccompanied accommodation and any course allocation.

Housing resources

Book the correct temporary accommodation

Confirm the current approved property and booking. Regional visitor quarters are not necessarily located on Northwest Annex.

Temporary lodging

Plan the school transfer

Use the school liaison to identify enrollment, records and district questions for the intended home address. A duty-station assignment does not select the school.

School liaison

Arrange child care early

Contact the child-care resource office early. Ask about eligibility, the request process and care covering your actual duty schedule; a request is not a confirmed placement.

Child-care resources

Confirm enrollment and clinic location

Confirm Northwest branch-clinic eligibility and appointment directions. Specialty care and the Portsmouth medical center are separate destinations.

Medical resources

Connect with family support

Use the listed readiness office for relocation and household referrals. Confirm which programs serve your service, duty status and family circumstances.
