Be flexible. Our Soldiers are coming home on contracted airlines. Flight arrival times often change based on weather, mechanical issues, or a variety of other reasons. The ceremony times listed on this site may change at any time. Call your unit point of contact if you have questions or concerns.

Flights may arrive early; you should plan to arrive at the ceremony site two hours before the projected ceremony time. Ceremonies will not be delayed to wait for the arrival of family members.

Members of the media may attend the Welcome Home Ceremony. Feel free to talk to them if you wish.

After the Soldiers disembark the aircraft, they will remove equipment and form up outside of the ceremony site. They will then march into the facility for a brief (3-5 minute) ceremony.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Soldiers, family, and friends will reunite for 15 minutes.

At the conclusion of the reunion, the Soldiers will depart to turn in equipment at their unit area.

Family members will immediately receive a short reintegration briefing onsite prior to departing back to the Family Parking Area. The unit points of contact will provide strip maps showing the location of the unit area where the Soldier can be picked up once equipment turn-in is completed.
