Reporting and In-Processing Procedures

Inbound Airmen must contact their sponsor for temporary lodging reservations and a Kadena AB information/welcome package. Airmen should make every effort to reserve temporary lodging prior to arrival to ensure accommodations are available for their family while completing in-processing which can take several days. It is important that lodging is arranged through the Kadena Lodging office, otherwise, there is a risk of not being reimbursed for lodging expenses. Airmen without a sponsor should gaining unit Commander Support Staff (CSS) or the Military Personnel Flight’s Customer Service office at DSN 634-4537 for CSS contact information.

Upon arrival to Kadena Air Force Base, Airmen must first report to your unit’s Commander Support Staff (CSS), INTRO Manager or Admin staff representative with a copy of your orders upon arrival or the next duty day after weekend arrival to begin in-processing. The unit will provide the Initial Duty Assignment (IDA) notification and squadron checklist.
