Special and Critical Installation Information

Geographical Dispersion and Remote Locations:

6th Medical Recruiting Battalion (6th MRBn) is the most geographically dispersed Unit in the Command and many locations are considered "remote" because they are located further than 50 miles from the nearest military installation. Soldiers and Family members who wish to obtain local area and/or installation information may contact the SFA 702-281-2679 or do one of the following:

  • Incoming members assigned near installations may search the Military One Source's MilitaryINSTALLATIONS (this) website for specific local area/installation information.
  • Incoming members assigned to remote locations may utilize the Discover Our Town website to locate specific local area information.

How do I know what installation is closest to my new duty station?

In-Depth Overview

Mission

The U.S. Army Recruiting Command and its Soldiers, Families, Civilians and Contractors are the Army’s trusted ambassadors to the American people. We “Provide the Strength” from the 1,400-plus recruiting stations nationwide and overseas.

Recruiting is one of the most critical jobs in the Army and it’s an extremely important mission. USAREC is a geographically dispersed unit, located throughout the 48 continental states, Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Europe, Guam, Saipan, Japan and Korea.

Due to the geographical dispersal of the units within USAREC, Soldiers and Families may find themselves living many miles from a military installation. For some, transitioning into a civilian community can be difficult.

USAREC stands proud knowing we have Soldiers and Families like you who are up for a challenge. Ensuring the quality of life for our Soldiers, Families, Civilians and Contractors is as important as the annual mission. Taking care of each other only makes us stronger. As a team – with Soldiers, Families, Civilians and Contractors hand in hand – we will strive daily to achieve success. We pledge to give you all we have to ensure your time in USAREC is nothing short of rewarding.
