Fort Campbell  Base Essentials

In-processing procedures

All incoming personnel must report to Kalsu Replacement Company, 6916 Desert Storm Ave., no later than the “to” date on their leave form (Department of the Army Form 31) to sign in - 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. All soldiers reporting during duty hours (6 a.m. - 5 p.m.) must report in duty uniform and in accordance with Army grooming standards found in Army Regulation 670-1.

Soldiers reporting during non-duty hours may be in appropriate civilian attire. For more information on Kalsu Replacement Company, contact 270-798-2813 or visit Fort Campbell website, Facebook page or access the Contract Audit Manual Regulation 600-8-101.

In-processing is organized to reduce the time needed to process into post. The process will take approximately 10 duty days. Haircuts and uniforms will be inspected daily to ensure adherence to Army and Division standards. In-processing includes stops with Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System personnel, dental, medical, newcomers' orientation, Division Command team brief, and many other important areas. Finance is now completed on your own utilizing SmartVoucher. Fort Campbell Army Military Pay Office SmartVoucher In-Processing Brief can be found at Fort Campbell AMPO Finance Office.

Information regarding assignment of on and off post housing is provided by the Fort Campbell Family Housing and Housing Services Office, both located in Building 2702 on Michigan Avenue at 270-798.3808.  Soldiers and Families are encouraged to contact the Fort Campbell Family Housing Services Office, before signing a contract, for a housing assessment and information on the Rental Partnership Program. Soldiers wishing to take permissive temporary duty for house hunting should get this approved at their losing unit. Newly arrived soldiers can get PTDY approved at Fort Campbell; however, this will not happen until the soldier is shipped to gaining unit (after the 10 day in-processing). If you are authorized PTDY from your prior duty station, you do not need to report to the housing office to have your orders stamped on the day the PTDY begins. Your leave form will need to be signed by a lieutenant colonel or above and have the correct PTDY statement in the remarks section. Contact your S1 for further guidance on PTDY.

Barracks rooms and linens are only provided for single soldiers, Sergeants and below. Barracks rooms will be assigned and made available once the soldier has signed in and arrived Kalsu Replacement Company. Married soldiers, and soldiers who are Staff Sergeants and above, regardless of marital status, should seek private accommodations (reference on or off post housing assignments above). 

Restriction of movement/Judicious preventative measures and travel restrictions

Soldiers are not required to quarantine unless they meet the following criteria: Tested positive for Coronavirus-19 within the past 5 days. If a soldier has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, the soldier must monitor for symptoms, if they do not develop any symptoms no further action is required. If the Soldier develops symptoms they will need to schedule a COVID test by calling the APT line at: 270-798-8400 and begin quarantine. If the Soldier is not yet arrived to Ft. Campbell please notify 1LT J. Robert Kalsu staff duty, update them on your status and maintain records of your test results. At home test kits do not meet the criteria to arrive late, you must have a clinical test administered. If the COVID test result is negative, they must report to Kalsu for in-processing.

Soldiers not residing in the barracks: You must remain at your residence during your period of ROM/JPM. If soldiers are geo-bachelors, a room in the Kalsu barracks can be provided if requested.

Soldiers residing in the barracks: You will be ROM/JPM in the local Kalsu barracks. Chow is delivered three times daily. Linens will be provided at the time of arrival. Soldiers will not be allowed to leave the Kalsu barracks during the duration of your ROM/JPM.

What to do if you get married en route?

If you get married en route, bring a copy of your marriage certificate, leave and earnings statements, and a completed DA FORM 5960 with you when you in-process DEERS and personnel. This way we can get your pay adjusted as soon as possible. If you get married before you PCS, go to your unit S1 for guidance to add your spouse to your records. It is very important that your PCS orders state that you have a "dependent"; having a dependent increases certain PCS entitlements. In order for your orders to be amended to state “with dependents”, your marriage date must precede the date on your orders.

Documents needed for in-processing:

• DA Form 31 (with control number and all signatures)
• PCS orders (with amendments if applicable)
• Dental records
