ALU Admissions - Lodging

The Institutional Training Directed Lodging and Meal Policy (ITDLM) (formally known as MTSS) will have the Lodging portion ONLY reinstated at Fort Lee, VA for Army Military TDY students beginning on or after 1 February 2012. This policy does not apply to soldiers attending contingency operations courses or soldiers attending training in a permanent change of station status. The Ft Lee Garrison on behalf of ALU will secure Lodging for Army students both on-post and off-post. Cost of all room night requirements will be borne by the Government. It is imperative that all Active Army, ARNG and USAR students be informed of this lodging policy PRIOR to departing their home unit. Sending units are encouraged to support rental cars or in and around mileage, as applicable for all students up to: 5 miles per day if lodged on-post or 20 miles per day if lodged off-post. The sending Command/Order Official is responsible for educating/briefing student travelers on travel entitlements and authorizations and ensure the soldier is in receipt of training travel orders before travel commences.

Soldiers in a TDY/ADT status are to report to Army Lodging, Building 12015, for room assignment. All other students attending ALU classes must use Army Lodging Success to obtain housing or a statement of non-availability (SNA). For toll free reservation services contact 1-866-363-5771 or email: centralreservations@redstone.army.mil. The CRC is open Mon-Fri from 0800-2200 hours Central Time (closed on Federal Holidays). Inbound students (except those reporting in a TDY/ADT status - as these students are required to report to Building 12015 as outlined in above paragraph) must call CRC NLT 2 weeks prior to course start date to ensure they will be assigned to the same or local hotel as their classmates attending the course. Reporting early to Ft Lee is NOT authorized except for the Combined Logistics Captains Career Course (CLC3) and the AC BOLC students called to immediate active duty. CLC3 students will arrive at least 2 weeks prior to the class start date in order to complete their in-processing. The report date for all other ALU classes is ONE day prior to the actual class start date to allow for travel. *Reference: ALARACT 415/2011 *

Ft Lee Lodge Update

The new Ft Lee Lodge is scheduled to open for business on 20 December with 1000 rooms. The lodge is located directly across the street from the Army Logistics University (ALU) in building #12015 on Mahone Ave. ALU anticipates that the vast majority of our students housed at this facility will be attending ALU classes. Some items of interest for inbound students to assist in planning include:

  • All students are still required to report to ALU (Staff Duty, Bldg 12420) prior to obtaining housing information from the Ft Lee Lodging Office.
  • The Ft Lee Lodging Office will relocate to the new Ft Lee Lodge on 17 Dec 2012.
  • The new lodge will include a full-service restaurant in the future (anticipated opening is June/July 2013 time frame). Until that time students are reminded that dining options within walking distance are limited.
