There is no longer a central billeting office aboard MCAS New River. New arrivals, please call your unit sponsor or MAG headquarters “officer of the day”.

All service members from other branches will report to their respective supporting unit detachment for an endorsement and further administrative processing. This will include a joint audit of your service record and a complete travel claim. 

Business hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; Closed on Saturday, Sunday and holidays.

If you get married before you make a permanent change of station move, you must inform your commander and follow the procedures exactly as you are given them. The military will not pay for travel and housing of your spouse if you do not follow proper procedures.

If you get married between duty stations, inform the Regional Personnel Administration Center/ New River Satellite Support with required documentation to add dependents for inclusions to pay and housing entitlements.

First, if there is a military ID card office near you, go to the DEERS office (you may have to make an appointment) with appropriate documents to enroll your new spouse and have a dependent ID issued. To find a local office and to make appointments go to: https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/. Then you can call TRICARE at 800-444-5445 to add your spouse to your medical coverage plan.
