Start with a reviewed guide.

Active destinations appear first, followed by realigned, unconfirmed and historical listings. Each guide links to its supporting sources.

Before the boxes are packed

Plan the move around your household.

Prepare the school transfer

Confirm the receiving district and military-student transition contact.

State compact contacts

Check the journey

Check the route to your actual reporting point, including any journey across state lines. Use current road information and confirm the final entrance separately with the host.

State travel information

Prepare the household

Identify alert information for the community where you will live. Ask the unit how local instructions reach personnel and include those channels in your household planning.

State preparedness resources

A few useful answers.

Does a Wisconsin exercise always report at Volk Field?

No. Regional exercises can use several locations; the unit and host confirm the actual destination.

Official reference

Do Fort McCoy courses and permanent staff use the same process?

Confirm the course or assigned organization; allocated training quarters and a household move differ.

Official reference

Is this a census of independent active bases?

No. These are guide pages; campuses, tenants, training sites and legacy listings may share a wider installation.

Official reference

Does an assignment reserve housing or child care?

Confirm eligibility and availability separately with the responsible installation offices.

Official reference

How should we choose a school?

Use the intended home address and receiving district; state compact contacts can help with military-student transition questions.

Official reference

Are the regions official boundaries or commute promises?

No. They are editorial navigation groups. Check the actual duty location and current road conditions.

Sources, names & coverage.

State guide checked . The sources below support this location overview; each reviewed installation guide has its own evidence register.

  • All 4 guides completed an online source review on November 4, 2026. This was not a phone call, site visit or official endorsement.
  • Training, research, industrial and academy guides address their own arrival categories; a guide does not establish household-service eligibility.
  • Counts describe guide pages rather than independent host bases. Status and service filters describe the directory classification, not every tenant or duty status.
  • Confirm current command instructions, access, eligibility and availability. Older official directory text can contain dated names, mislabeled contacts or restricted links; precise prices, gate schedules and capacity are not treated as live guarantees.
