Check-in Procedures

PCS in-processing

The Soldier should report to their unit to sign in from their PCS absence. MPSD will arrive all Soldiers assigned to a tenant UIC. Soldiers assigned as Staff and Faculty to the US Army War College will be arrived by the G-1 in Room 233, 2nd Floor Building 46 (Personnel Services Building). All Soldiers should receive their Unit checklist prior to being sent to MPSD for their Installation In-Processing checklist. Soldiers will turn in their PCS absence request to the in-processing technician and be arrived at the installation. The copies of the absence requests will be returned to the Soldier for the purpose of completion of in-processing.

Military Personnel Services Division is in Room 133, Building 46, Personnel Services Building.

If a Soldier requires permissive temporary duty travel for house hunting purposes this action must be processed and approved through the Soldier’s unit personnel administrative center. The Soldier will then be arrived to the gaining UIC in the Integrated Personnel and Pay System by the MPSD; the actual in-processing procedure may begin when the Soldier signs back in off their permissive TDY.

If a Soldier arrives at the installation during non-duty hours and requires assistance, they must contact the Carlisle Barracks Police Station duty officer at 717-245-4342/4115, Building 400. The duty officer will provide the Soldier with the contact number for the unit Commander or First Sergeant so they can get billeting (E6 and below) or any other assistance needed. The Soldier is responsible to report to their unit the next duty day.

During the automated in-processing procedure beginning on the Soldier’s first duty day, they will be entered into Compass and given a personalized in-processing checklist which is to be completed within five duty days. This checklist will include all mandatory stations, complete with locations; the Soldier is required to physically in-process. The checklist must be signed off by the responsible agency representative.

Soldiers are required to in-process the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System/Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System workstation, Room 135, Building 46 to update personal/family information during their initial first duty day visit to MPSD.

Upon receiving the personalized installation in-processing checklist the Soldier must visit each section designated mandatory on the checklist, obtaining the required signatures. The Soldier must return to MPSD with the completed checklist for a final accounting.

The Soldier has a maximum of five duty days to complete this procedure. The original in-processing checklist will be returned to the Soldier; they will in turn submit the completed checklist to their S1/PAC to be filed in the Soldier’s personnel readiness file in accordance with Army Regulation 25-400-2.
