Relocation Assistance
It is the Relocation Assistance Program's mission to ensure that service members and their families are prepared to cope with stressors and problems they may encounter throughout the entire tour cycle of their mobile military lifestyle. We try to accomplish this by providing you with the right information at the right time, counseling people on the emotional impact of moves, and educating the public to manage and plan for military relocation. For more information, refer to Handling culture shock and Stress management tips.

Sponsorship Assistance
The US Army established the Total Army Sponsorship Program to assist soldiers, civilian employees, and family members during the relocation process. Program participants are provided with accurate, and timely information and other support needed to minimize problems associated with relocating to a new duty station. The program is available to the active duty Army, the Army National Guard, the United States Army Reserve, and to civilian employees whose assignment to a position within the Department of the Army requires a permanent change of station (PCS). The Sponsor Training section brings together helpful information about being a Sponsor.
