Barracks Clearing Procedure (IAW ABMP Handbook): Under the updated Army Barracks Management Program (ABMP) Handbook, the barracks out-clearing process is managed at the unit level and driven by electronic workflow in the enterprise Military Housing (eMH) system. The process begins when the departing Soldier schedules a joint move-out inspection in the eMH system and prepares their room using the official Room Clearing Checklist and Room Cleaning Standards. During the joint inspection, the Soldier and a unit representatively a Squad Leader or Supply Sergeant inspect the room and furnishings against the initial move-in report; if deficiencies are found, the inspection must be rescheduled. Once the room successfully passes inspection, the Soldier signs the condition report, surrenders the room keys, and the unit representative enters the clearance details into eMH to generate the Modules/Sleeping Rooms/Spaces Termination Form. Following the system update, the final Termination Memo and Post-Clearing Document must be signed to officially clear the Soldier. The local chain of command determines which authorized official—either the Company Commander, First Sergeant, or Barracks Manager—holds the signing authority for these documents. If any facility or property damages are identified during the joint inspection, a formal collections process is initiated. Otherwise, upon receiving the appropriate signatures as designated by the chain of command, the Soldier is issued their finalized, stamped clearance documentation and Termination Letter to proceed to the Defense Military Pay Office (DMPO) for housing allowance entitlements.
