They will give you all additional directions from there.

That location (where you &quot;report&quot;) should be on your orders, but if not - stop at the gate, go to the Visitor&#39;s Center if need be, and ask. Recommend you arrive NLT the day BEFORE your orders state, find that office and when they open, get oriented, and then report on the appointed date, the next morning. Good Luck!!

When you get to Fort Carson you will sign into the reception battalion. Your orders should have an address and reporting instructions. If not Google is a powerful tool! If you are flying into Colorado Springs, at the airport there is a fort Carson rep there at baggage claim that will help get you to the base. If you are driving you will need to go to gate #1, again use Google to get you there, the guys at gate #1 will be able to direct you to the reception building. As for Fort Carson, it&#39;s a nice base I have been here for 5 years. Once you report to the reception battalion you will in process, it will take about 5 days, at that point your gaining unit will pick you up and take you to your new unit. Colorado Springs is a nice city and there are lots of things to do and see. My advice to you is to make sure you acclimatise to the elevation before you go for a hike of do any major cardio. We are between 6 and 8k feet above sea level and it can be hard to breathe here. Good luck and if you need any help there are plenty of resources on Fort Carson as well as on here.
