USAREC, 5th Medical Recruiting Battalion (MRB) is in San Antonio, Texas. It is part of the larger medical recruiting brigade.

This unit was activated on October 1, 1995. It used to be called the 5th Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Recruiting Detachment up until January 7, 2005, where it was given its current name. The mission of the battalion is to recruit health professionals to provide care for military personnel.

Officers and other military personnel posted to this unit will enjoy what the battalion has to offer. If you are one of those officers wondering how to get your vehicle to the base, you are in the right place. A-1 Auto Transport will show you the best way.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

The 5^th MRB is in San Antonio, Texas as well as two other sites in the United States. The military policy concerning moving to such a location is that the government won’t be sponsoring the move. Yes, the government doesn’t take on local moving costs but there are exceptions to this rule. Discuss with your transportation officer to know if you are eligible for such an exception.

While you confirm your eligibility, you can begin your search for good POV shipping alternatives. Since you are here already, you are on the right path.

Full List of Military Shipping Services We Offer

We ship vehicles of all kinds to the 5^th MRB like:

• ATVs
• Trucks
• Motorcycles

Military Car Shipping

Since the location of the base is in Texas, driving a vehicle to the base is possible. While it is possible, it might not be the best option as you might be more than 24-road hours away and will arrive late and exhausted at your new post.

Get quotes from more than a single company and compare the services to the cost of shipping the vehicle. Hiring professionals might be cheaper for you in the long run than driving it yourself.

Note that most bases have rules concerning the kind of vehicle that is allowed into the base. 5^th MRB won’t be an exception. Get to know what the rules are as they relate to your vehicle.

During the whole process, there will be documents to fill and submit as well so, prepare your:

• Government-issued identification
• Proof of ownership of the vehicle you want to ship
• Permanent Change of Station
• Shipping permit for a vehicle that is leased.

Preparing your car for Shipment

You should get your car ready for shipping. Dropping it off the way it is might cause complications.

• Ensure the car papers are up to date and intact.
• Drain the fuel in the fuel tank to almost empty to reduce the chances of spillage.

Military Motorcycle Shipping

Visit your transportation officer to know the rules surrounding motorbikes on the 5^th MRB. Also, make alternative shipping arrangements because the government won’t be paying for the shipping of the motorcycle.

If you aren’t sure if you can ship two vehicles to the base, know that it can be done as long as the battalion doesn’t have a rule against it. Shipping companies like A-1 Auto Transport provide discounts for clients shipping multiple vehicles.

The documents you will need to process the shipping arrangements include the proof of ownership and your military identification.

Preparing your motorcycle for Shipment

A motorbike should be prepared properly before shipping. To do that:

• Ensure the documents of the bike are intact and up to date.
• Empty the fuel tank of the bike by draining the fuel out for safety reasons.
