Can you break a lease because of Recruiting School?

I leave for Recrutiing school Oct 28th , and have a memorandum from my commander stating I am leaving and have 10 days to clear when I get back. Then I report to my new duty station as usual. Is that memorandum succient enough , they asked for orders but I'm thinking the orders will say TCS? And I wont get my official til I graduate. Any feedback is appreciated!

There is nothing automatic because you are in service. In almost all cases for deployment, yes. Bottom line unless it is in the lease agreement or they were obtained through the local housing office (even this is not guaranteed). Look at your lease and contact the housing office. Thank you for your service.

Take your orders and the memorandum and see what the landlord says; go to JAG if he gives you a problem.

You have assignment instructions to recruiting school. If you don't have orders in hand it is because you failed to attend your levy brief. Your orders will say you are PCSing to Fort Knox with the dates of your training as TDY Enroute.
Also, yes you have 10 days to clear, but your report date won't be for 30-60 days after your graduation date. That's plenty of time to break your lease.

You wont have your PCS orders because they dont tell you where your going until the last week of recruiting school. Your placement is based on the needs of the army, your gender and race. I'd recommend talking to your landlord through JAG.
