Whether you live in the barracks or dorms, family housing on-installation or in a local German home, there is plenty of variety available.

On-Installation Housing

No matter where you live in Germany, on-installation housing is based on rank and family size. Typically, service members and families are required to live on installation unless housing is at or near capacity (the percentage varies by area, but it is roughly 95 percent). Unaccompanied service members are typically assigned to barracks, dorms or Officers’ Quarters.
