Fort Jackson Relocation assistance

  The Relocation Assistance Program office at Fort Jackson offers services for newly arriving Soldiers and their Family members. Program services which include the Lending Closet are specially designed to make the transition into our community an easier, more pleasant experience.

For Soldiers and families in a pre-arrival status, Relocation Assistance at Fort Jackson is available through:

Military Homefront is the official Department of Defense web site for reliable Quality of Life information designed to help troops and their families, leaders and service providers by providing essential information needed for Soldiers and Families making a PCS move. Whether you live the military lifestyle or support those who do, you'll find what you need.  Military Homefront is accessible at www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil.  The information on this automated system is maintained and updated by the Fort Jackson Relocation Assistance Program Manager.

Military OneSource is provided by the Department of Defense at no cost to active duty, Guard and Reserve (regardless of activation status) and their families. It is a virtual extension of installation services. Visit Military OneSource today at www.militaryonesource.com or call 1-800-342-9647.

Welcome Packets:  Packets are available on request by telephone, (803) 751-5256/1124 or DSN 734-5256/1124, email, miranda.broadus@conus.army.mil or regular mail.  The packet provides additional information on the Fort Jackson/Columbia areas, including foldout maps and various publications provided by agencies in the area.

Sponsorship Program:  If you have not been assigned a sponsor, or have not been contacted as of yet, you can request a sponsor.

A sponsor is someone from your new unit who is assigned to assist you with settling into your new location.   He/she will be the same or close to your rank and the same marital status, if at all possible.  This person will be knowledgeable about the local community and the installation and is available to assist you and your family. 
For Soldiers and families upon arrival, the Relocation Assistance Program provides the following: 
 

 Lending Closet:  The lending closet provides basic housekeeping items for temporary loan to incoming and outgoing families and in other cases determined appropriate.  Items include pots and pans, dishes, silverware, irons and ironing boards, toasters, coffee-pots, sleeping mats, cribs, high chairs, child car seats and other items.  Initially the items are loaned out for 30 days, if additional time is required due to delays in household deliveries; requests for extensions are granted in 2 week increments.  Orders to Fort Jackson and an ID card are required to check items out.  We do not provide bed linens, pillows or towels.

In-Processing Brief:  is held twice weekly, during which ACS services are reviewed, and the Soldier’s current status and condition upon in-processing are discussed.  A welcome packet and Military Homefront booklet is available if you have not yet already received one. 

Newcomer’s Orientation:   The Post Newcomer’s Orientation is held the first Wednesday of every month at the Post Conference Room on Jackson Blvd – Bldg 4376, at the corner of Jackson and Gregg (near Post Headquarters).  Starting time is 0900 hrs with doors open at 0830 hrs. The Orientation usually lasts 2 hours. Normally, a representative of the Command Group will open the Orientation with a personal welcome to Soldiers and their spouses, followed by additional information and speakers.  SOLDIERS SHOULD CHECK WITH THEIR UNIT ON THE QUESTION OF MANDATORY ATTENDANCE.  Soldiers are encouraged to invite their spouses. Child care is provided at no charge.  Reservations must be made at least 48 hours ahead of time, phone: (803) 751-1972.  For further information on the Orientation, please call ACS at 751-5256.

Relocation Counseling:  Relocation counseling is provided on an individual or group basis to provide information to assist with the stress of moving.  Counseling includes assessing the Soldier’s individual or Family needs and particular relocation circumstances. Whether the Soldier and/or family member needs to vent or discuss the current situation for stress relief, or whether more extensive discussion is needed on a wide array of topics, from schools, to housing to jobs, extended counseling on these and other topics is available from ACS Relocation Assistance.  Appointments can be made by calling 751-1124/5256.

Reentry Briefs:  are held in conjunction with the Post Newcomer’s Orientation.  This brief addresses the logistical, financial and psychological adjustment that must often be made when returning from an overseas tour.

Citizenship Assistance:  The Relocation Readiness Program will assist eligible family members in obtaining and submitting their citizenship application and act as a liaison between the member and the U.S. Citizenship Immigration Service (CIS), when required.  A Citizenship “Immigration 101” workshop, conducted by a CIS representative is offered bi-monthly.  Flash cards are available “free of charge” to help applicants for citizenship learn the questions and answers on the civics test.  Study test is also available.  Call 694-5256 for more information.

 Fort Jackson is the largest and most active Initial Entry Training Center in the U.S. Army, training 50 percent of all Soldiers and 70 percent of the women entering the Army each year. Providing the Army with trained, disciplined, motivated and physically fit warriors who espouse the Army's core values and are focused on teamwork is the post's primary mission. Accomplishing that mission means training in excess of 50,000 basic training and advanced individual training Soldiers every year.

The post has other missions as well. Fort Jackson is home to the U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute, the U.S. Army Chaplains Center and School, Drill Sergeant School and the Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment (formerly the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute).

The fort includes more than 52,000 acres, including more than 100 ranges and field training sites and 1,160 buildings. Soldiers, civilians, retirees and family members make up the Fort Jackson community that continues to grow in numbers and facilities. More than 3,900 active duty Soldiers and their 14,000 family members are assigned to the installation and make this area their home. Fort Jackson employs almost 5,200 civilians and provides services for more than 36,000 retirees and their family members. An additional 12,000 students attend courses at the Soldier Support Institute, Chaplain Center and School and Drill Sergeant School annually.

The fort will continue to grow in the coming years as a result of the recent Base Realignment and Closure Commission’s decision to make Fort Jackson the home of the Army’s only Drill Sergeant School, the Department of Defense Joint Center of Excellence for Military Chaplaincy and one of four new Regional Readiness Sustainment Commands.

Since 1917, when fighting men were needed for World War I, Fort Jackson has a proud history of supporting our Army in times of war. That tradition continues today as the fort willingly accepts new challenges related to the War on Terrorism and stands ready to accept any additional mission in support of our nation’s defense
