Assignments & visits.
Match the assignment or appointment to the responsible organization. Confirm reporting, access and household-support eligibility with the sponsor or host.
Arrange campus entry
Before booking travel, ask the host to confirm the reporting point, arrival contact and any approval needed for your purpose of visit.
Official commandArrange suitable accommodation
Have the unit confirm authorized accommodation for drill, temporary duty or full-time service. Do not assume an airport campus offers a family-housing neighborhood.
Accommodation contactsPrepare a household move
Confirm school enrollment for the intended home address; use compact contacts for military-student transitions.
School transition contactsCheck the journey
Review closures and delays along your intended route before leaving. Obtain the final entrance and reporting point from your host rather than relying on the base name alone.
