What We Need From You

MCCS Operations will need the following information when you contact them for return and reunion support:

1. Number of Marines and Sailors Returning -

Do not factor in the estimated number of family members, MCCS provides enough supplies at a rate of 1 to 2, so if you have 100 people returning, they will give you enough supplies to support 200 people.

2. Date of the return

3. MCCS needs a minimum of 1 week notice prior to the return. MCCS monitors flight information and estimated numbers returning so they can have enough supplies on hand to support all returns.

Commands are responsible for requesting return and reunion support from MCCS. MCCS Marketing will work with the unit FRO or KVA/C.
