Lackland AFB Military Base Housing

Housing is available on base at Lackland, and many personnel being assigned either reside in the privatized housing on base, or seek long term quarters in San Antonio at local apartments or house rentals.  The Lackland AFB Housing Waiting List can take several months depending on the time of year, and the rate of new reassignments taking place.  Newly assigned personnel interested in purchasing a home in San Antonio, or if on the Lackland AFB housing waiting list, our furnished apartment options through our furnished apartment providers or extended stay hotels may be the best interim housing solution.

Barksdale Air Force Base Lodging

Barksdale AFB Lodging
Travelers to Barksdale Air Force Base in need of temporary lodging have several options through our government and Military Lodging network of hotels, extended stays, and corporate housing providers.  Lodging on base through the Air Force Inn services may issue statements of non availability for newly assigned personnel and temporary duty military travelers preferring to stay in off base lodging.  Browse all of our Barksdale AFB Lodging options close to the base in Shreveport Louisiana and in the nearby community of Bossier City.  The Barksdale Air Force Base housing office may have a waiting list for newly assigned service members.  Permanently assigned personnel looking for an apartment or house hunting can choose from our extended stay hotels and corporate housing options while buying a home or waiting for the on base housing list to provide availability.

Fort Belvoir Lodging

Fort Belvoir Army MWR Lodging

On post lodging at Fort Belvoir is available through the MWR Army Lodging Central Reservations line, although most government, military, and civilian personnel prefer to stay in local hotels or corporate housing options to accrue rewards points for future travel, and to stay in longer term furnished accommodations while on a TDY (Temporary Duty) assignment.  The Military District of Washington includes Fort Belvoir as part of the greater military base community within the National Capitol Region of Northern Virginia and Maryland.  Our featured extended stay hotel is the Extended Stay America Washington, DC, which offers per diem rates and long term rates for military personnel receiving BAH (Basic Housing Allowance) while relocating and house hunting or if on the post housing waiting list.

As the fastest growing Military Lodging provider in the United States for government and military travel, TDY Lodging recently added 83 Extended Stay America chain hotels nationwide.  Our unique Defense lodging system includes all types of short term and extended stay accommodations for military and government personnel relocating throughout the continental United States.  Military lodging options are generally available at or below the per diem rate for official travel, and we feature a variety of short term housing options including hotels, furnished apartments, and corporate house rentals.

Military lodging is generally available on every DoD installation, although service members may prefer to stay off post at local hotels or furnished apartments and condos when available, or if the nature of their travel orders requires a long term assignment lasting several months.  Our previous blog post about the Army Lodging Reservations process discusses how to make reservations through the Army MWR Lodging Central Reservations line for active duty and reserve component personnel.  Most military lodging facilities on base will need to issue a statement of non-availability number to place of the travel voucher for filing with DFAS (the Defense Finance and Accounting System) which processes all travel claims for military lodging both on and off base.

Military lodging facilities on base offer reservations directly through the front desk lodging office, or through the central reservations line, and these facilities tend to be at the per diem reimbursement rate or slightly below.  Many of the local hotels near Department of Defense installations will offer rooms for government personnel directly at the Military Lodging Rates for official travel.  When the military lodging rate exceeds the maximum per diem rate allowed by the GSA (General Services Administration) schedule, a special request and waiver form can be submitted to verify that military lodging rates were unavailable at the time of the assignment; Although rare, when hotels and other types of accommodations are in high demand especially in large cities or during highly attended events, rates may at times exceed the max per diem rate for military lodging requirements in the U.S. and overseas.  See all of our Hotels and Military Vacation Rentals at TDYLodging.com.
