Operational Support
Check-in Information
Welcome to NAVAL WAR COLLEGE, NEWPORT RI.
BELOW IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION UPON YOUR ARRIVAL FOR AT OR ADDT

Berthing and Messing –

Both are normally available on base and utilization is directed unless berthing is full. You must contact the CBQ directly to reserve lodging or to obtain a CERTIFICATE OF NON-AVAILABILITY (CNA) prior to arranging civilian quarters. Their number is 401-841-7900.

What is the per diem allowance? Per diem is paid at the Proportional Meal Rate (PMR) for all personnel on ADT orders residing in government quarters. Excluding lodging this is currently $38 per day. PMR IS NOT PAID on AT orders.

What are the uniform requirements? Uniform requirements vary widely based on the billet you fill. Normally students and those filling academic billets report in the uniform of the day, but are otherwise in civilian informal (business attire). You will need to contact the department you are working in to confirm the uniform. Others are generally in the uniform of the day for the duration of their orders. The uniform of the day is either Service Dress Blue (from the first Monday in October to the First Monday in May) or Summer Whites (from the first Monday in May to the first Monday in October). Khakis are a year round uniform and can be worn in authorized spaces only.

Is a security clearance required? YES! While not all events require classified access, many do and the College generally requires a security clearance for all Operational Support Members. A clearance/visit request should be provided by your supporting NOSC at least one month prior to your visit or as directed by the OSO Security Clearance Coordinator.

Please Remember -

  • Copy of orders-Page 2 (needs to be verified within the year)
  • If berthing on base unavailable, a CAN is needed from the CBQ
  • When checking into the NWC, please let the OSO personnel know that you have a CAN so we can mark berthing not available when endorsing your orders.
  • If you need advance pay you will have to make arrangements prior to coming to Newport. You will need to contact your NOSC to fill out the appropriate paperwork. We can not handle this for you.
