Newcomer's Orientation is held monthly April-September during the summer months then quarterly during the winter (November and February) in the Community Activities Center, Building 1529 Porter Street. Relocation Readiness Program (RRP) offers a Lending Closet located in the Community Support Center, that is stocked with household items that newly arrived soldiers and civilians may borrow.

Installation Specific Information
The Fort Detrick Army Community Service (ACS) Relocation Readiness Program (RRP) office is here to help you and your family settle in the Fort Detrick community and also prepare you for your PCS when it's time to relocate.
The ACS RRP is the best place to receive relocation assistance and information, as it is especially designed to make the transition into our community an easier and more pleasant experience for the newly-arrived Soldier and Family members. Experience has shown that if a young family has a successful first move, later moves will be positive as well.
After you arrive at Fort Detrick, visit the ACS office and find out what's happening and when. The Newcomer's Orientation is mandatory for active duty and new civilian employees.
The Fort Detrick Lending Closet has basic household items to loan for those in moving status. In fact, there are prepackaged household kits available for loans of up to 30 days. On a case-by-case basis, items may be extended longer than 30 days.
The RRP offers pre-move and post-move briefings, overseas briefings and multi-cultural classes. Family members and Soldiers wanting to improve their language skills may inquire about English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESL) classes offered through the local community college. Spouses needing citizenship information may also contact the RRP.
For Families with a loved one living separately because of mission requirements, there is a Hearts Apart (Waiting Families) program. Please contact your RRP office, 301-619-2197/6364 for more information.
