Housing: Overseas

Members with command-sponsored families — those authorized to have families accompany them to an overseas duty station — may apply for on-base housing. Adequate community housing is available at many overseas locations, and installations may provide loaner furnishings and appliances where appropriate.

Members who would like to retain overseas family housing when departing for an unaccompanied tour must contact the installation legal office for guidance on the local status-of-forces agreement before departure. In some cases, families may not be able to retain overseas military housing once the member is no longer assigned to that installation.

Like their stateside colleagues, mission-essential members may be required to live in government quarters.
