Because you may need to serve anywhere in the world, the Army provides accommodation for both single and married soldiers, and for dependants.

Single Living Accommodation

The Army provides Single Living Accommodation to

• single servicemen and women
• those with a family who choose not to have their family with them at their posting

Multi-occupancy barracks-type rooms are still used by recruits during initial training. For other soldiers, the Army is in the process of moving to single occupancy en-suite rooms. Until that process is complete, rooms for 2 and 4 people are available.

Service Families' Accommodation

The Army provides Service Families' Accommodation for servicemen and women who are

• married or in civil partnerships
• widowed, divorced or separated with dependant children

The accommodation is usually close to, or within 10 miles of, their duty station. Most are fully furnished, though tenants may use their own furniture if they wish.

Existing householders may decide to continue living in their own home.
