Military campgrounds and ID
Good Morning, everybody, and thank you for your service. I have a quick question, and did a few searches, with negative results. A dear friend is returning from the mideast after her difficult service...

That one is news to me - I thought NG have to be on the active weekend, or the training weeks program, unless activated for a crisis.
Welcome, of course ... just new info. :)
Most MCGs are great - and all the comforts of a commissary and PX/BX if you need it.
NG and Res have been allowed at military campgrounds for quite a few years, at least 25 yrs. They have BX and MWR authority regardless if on orders or not. DOD Instruction 1015.10, Enclosure 3.2.1
There are some campgrounds on NG training sites that are just for those members who are there on training status. Instead of being put up in billeting they have an area where those there doing training can park a camper.
The Ft McCoy NG training site near Sparta WI is open to anyone including those who have never been in the military. It's located on post but anyone from the public can use it. They don't even need a military sponsor.
