The ability for your mover to provide service
on a military base depends on the
installation's visitor policies. Bases not
only differ from branch of service, but they
can also be different from within the same
service. Simply put, the installation's
visitor policies depend on activities
conducted at the installation.
Visitor Requirements
Your first step should be to obtain the visitor
requirements for your base by contacting the
Visitors Center. In most cases, the
requirements will fall into one of the
scenarios below.
Sponsored
Access
You will be required to meet the movers at the
gate and escort them onto the base once they
have gained access.
Visitor Pass
If your base does not allow sponsored access
the movers will be required to obtain a
visitor pass. This process will involve a
background check of each mover. Depending on
the base and their policies this process can
be relatively quick (an hour or less) or several hours.
Scheduling Requirements
While moving on a military base has its
obstacles they can easily be overcome when
both parties satisfy their obligations.
