Start Strong at Your New Duty Station
When you arrive at a new installation, everything can feel unfamiliar – new streets, new buildings, new rules. The Newcomer Orientation helps you get settled, learn how things work, and feel at home faster.
It’s a great way to:
- Learn about base services, programs, and policies
- Get tips about schools, housing, and child care
- Meet other newcomers and ask questions
- Hear from key community leaders and organizations
If you miss an orientation or arrive between scheduled dates, ACS can still give you a welcome packet and answer your questions one-on-one.
Check out the ACS calendar for dates, times, and registration information.
Host Nation Orientation
Host Nation Orientation, where applicable, offers all in-processing personnel and their Families orientation on the local culture, language, transportation and tourism offerings.
