On-post housing is available to Soldiers, E-1 through O-6, with command sponsored dependents serving an accompanied 36-month tour, or who are enrolled in the Army military couples program. Soldiers of all ranks are required to live on post until a 95% occupancy rate is reached. Waiting time for government housing is one to eight weeks depending on bedroom requirements. Within two days of arrival, Solders and/or their families must proceed to the Housing Office where they will be presented with housing options and wait times.

Soldiers bringing family members who are not command sponsored will not be allowed to sign for family housing until command sponsorship is granted. Soldiers who have family members traveling in a deferred travel status cannot make any travel arrangements for their family members until housing is secured and the travel orders are released.
