Naval Support Facility Deveselu

Naval Support Facility Deveselu at a glance

Naval Support Facility Deveselu is the Navy shore installation supporting the Aegis Ashore missile defense organization in Romania. The Navy describes it as the first Aegis Ashore facility placed into operation, contributing to NATO's wider ballistic missile defense system. The support command provides the supply and installation services that allow its principal tenant to carry out that role.

The facility is co-located with a Romanian military installation in the country's southwest, rather than being a naval port. Its community includes Sailors, U.S. civilian employees and contractors. Incoming personnel are directed to the command sponsor for a welcome package and current preparation information. Deveselu's specialized shore mission is a useful reminder that Navy installations can support land-based technical systems as well as ships and aircraft.

Before you arrive

Use these questions with your sponsor or gaining organization. They are a starting point for planning, including assignments, courses and training periods that differ from a routine permanent change of station.

1. Confirm the organization, duration and reporting instructions shown on your orders. Ask which office handles your arrival.
2. Clarify lodging and housing arrangements before booking. Ask about availability, required approvals and how to handle a late arrival.
3. For an overseas assignment, ask your sponsor about family travel authorization, required documents, medical screening, pets and vehicle shipment before making reservations.
4. Coordinate household goods and personal travel with the appropriate transportation office. Keep orders, receipts and important family records together.
5. Make a short list of contacts for medical care, schools, childcare and family support, where applicable to your assignment.
