The moving process includes order taking, transportation arrangements, packing and accommodation coordination. Depending on your branch and mandate, you can move or use government-contracted movers to do the work for you. You can also tap into military transition assistance programs, resources, and tools to help you master your move. Once you know your move dates, it is wise to start looking for housing about 60 days after your move date. You should lock in your accommodation choice as soon as possible so you don’t have to worry about finding somewhere at the last minute, and the sooner you do this, the more likely you are to get the dates you want.
