Support Programs

Relocation

Moving is a part of life for service members, civilian employees, and their families.

The DDJC-MWR Relocation Readiness Program is here to help with a comprehensive support system, whether it’s your first move or the last of many. We have a vast variety of information and resources to help you and your family navigate your next move.

Military Installations: Researching your new installation is easy with the web page Military Installations. Military Installations is an index of installations worldwide with listings for all of the information and services you need when moving to a new location. It can be a great way to “know” your new location before you arrive and have the information on those key services you’ll need before and upon arriving.

Plan My Move: Once your research is complete let the Plan My Move web page help you get organized. This web page organizes all your family specific information and designs a calendar to make sure everything is done before the packers arrive. It generates a list of important documents to hand carry, tasks to be completed and your calendar so you can post it for everyone to see. And if you haven’t received a sponsor, there is a link to request a sponsor at your new location.

Defense Travel Management Office: Mobilization and Deployment Support helps community readiness during deployments and emergencies. We help make sure installation programs align with unit deployment cycles, provide pre- and post-deployment support, and help unit commanders with their family readiness plans and deployment support services for service members, civilians, and their families. We’re responsible for operating an Emergency Family Assistance Center in the case of an all-hazards event.
