All soldiers who are being permanently assigned to Fort Knox must
report to Bldg 1384, Vine Grove Road One Stop Processing Center. You may sign-in
in Civilian clothes, but when you come back to One Stop for your inprocessing
appointment you must be in BDU or Class B uniform. If you have a
sponsor, contact him/her and let him/her know when you are
arriving. This will be especially helpful if you need
transportation. The One Stop building is open from 0700-1630 Monday
through Friday. All personnel register for housing during their
inprocessing. This applies to Family Housing and Transient
Housing. If you plan to live off post, you may go to the CHRRS office
located in Bldg 1383 before you sign in to inquire about off post
housing.
NOTE: If you get married before you PCS, you must
inform your commander and follow the procedures exactly as you are given
them. The military will not pay for travel and housing for your
spouse if you do not follow proper procedures.
You must bring
your personnel records, orders, and leave form. You can find the
procedures for inprocessing depending upon your status, on the Fort Knox web
site and view Newcomer Information.
You will sign in to Family Housing,
Single Soldier Quarters, or Transient Billeting as a part of your
inprocessing. (You do not have to inprocess to go to Housing;
however, you do have to sign in before going there.)
If you have
children you must inprocess with the School Liaison Office located in the
basement of Bldg 1384. This is also the Child and Youth Service
Central Registration Office. For additional information you may call
(502) 624-6703.
It is important that you hand carry your medical records,
will, school records (if possible), any other pertinent documents you will need
before your shipment arrives, and of course, many copies of your
orders.
Note: The Fort Knox Homepage goes into much more
detail about inprocessing, actually breaking it down into classes,
etc. If you have access to a computer, go into the homepage for
additional Newcomer Information; where to sign in and current updates. The
homepage will offer more information.
If you are making a
Do-It-Yourself-Move to Fort Knox, you will file your settlement at the Travel
Section Office in the One Stop Building (Bldg 1384). All payments are
made by Electronic File Transfer to the soldier's bank account. All
personnel register for housing during their inprocessing. This
applies to Family Housing, Single Soldier Quarters, and Transient
Housing.
INITIAL ENTRY SOLDIERS: If you are coming to Fort
Knox for basic training, one stop unit training, or advanced individual
training, you will be taken to the 46th AG Battalion ( Copple Reception Center),
where you will process through several stations and then go to your
unit.
If you are married and are coming here for Initial Entry Training,
remember this is a temporary stopping place. You will receive orders
and most likely leave Fort Knox after your training is completed. It
is not recommended for your family to come here with you. You will
not have the time to see your family and may not be able to even speak with
them. It is best not to uproot them until you are ready to make your
first move after AIT. You will have a great deal on your mind with
the training schedule and you need to focus on that. However, if
there is no other alternative and they come with you, we would like for them to
contact us at Army Community Service (502) 624-6291/8391 and let us know they
are here.
If you are coming here in a TDY status, you will report
directly to the unit stated on your orders. The unit will schedule
you for any necessary appointments.
