Wyvern Welcome & In-Processing

Arrival & Sign-In

All newly arrived DoD members must report to their respective squadron Command Support Staff (CSS) within 24hrs (1 duty day) of arrival in country. They will provide in-processing checklists and agendas.

All overseas locations require members to be prepared in the event of an emergency situation. All military members with dependents and/or pets and all US civilians assigned to Aviano are required to maintain a NEO binder and a 72-hr kit in the event that Noncombatants are evacuated from the base. Upon in-processing with your unit, you will receive more information from your Unit NEO Warden.
