PCS Support
Marines and families receive PCS support from Marine and Family Program’s Information, Referral and Relocation (IRR) Program (Ref MCO 1754.10B) so please contact your IRR program to sign up for the mandatory PCS Workshop to receive briefs from DMO, IPAC, TriCare, School Liaison, Travel, Family Member Employment and Personal Financial Management, and other local resources. Spouses are welcome to attend!

The IRR program will connect Marines to a Sponsor (as mandated in Ref MCO 1320.11H) and to their gaining installation’s POCs to receive a Welcome Aboard Packet. IRR also provides Welcome Aboard Briefs which help orient Marines and families to everything that is available at their new installation.
