The Relocation
Readiness Program is a comprehensive program designed to
help Families in the relocation process. Available seminars and
briefings cover a wide range of topics. Join us for a welcome tour
and newcomer's orientation, cultural
activities, and more. Relocation Readiness' goal is to help you make a smooth transition.
Welcome packets are given to each Soldier during in-processing
at the welcome center located at Clark Hall. The welcome packet
comes in two formats; compact disc (CD), and a printed hard
copy. By default CD’s are mailed out unless otherwise requested.
This packet can also be mailed to newcomers before their
arrival. Each packet contains information on ACS programs, Army
Emergency Relief and other resources available on post and in
the surrounding communities. Additionally, installation specific information can be viewed or printed directly from www.militaryinstallations.dod.mil. This site provides the
most current information on your next duty station.
