Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area
MCAS Yuma is in Arizona, USA. This means that the government won’t be sponsoring the transportation of your vehicle.
However, contact your transportation officer and find out if you are eligible for an exemption. Under certain conditions, the government pays for CONUS-CONUS POV transportation. Also, find out the rules concerning personal vehicles on MCAS Yuma.
