Welcome to the Seattle Recruiting Battalion
Welcome to the Seattle Recruiting Battalion! The Seattle Battalion covers a large geographic area in both the states of Washington and Alaska. Even though there are major installations in the Battalion area, most of the recruiting stations are geographically disbursed from military installations. In most cases, it will be in your best interest to live within the recruiting area to which you are being assigned. With the work hours in recruiting, travel time to and from work should be limited to the least amount possible to provide more quality time spent with your Family. For information regarding the Government Leased Housing Program, contact the Facilities Manager at (206) 764-6973.
You will be assigned a sponsor and receive a welcome packet from the Battalion. This packet will provide you more information on your assignment and the area to which you are being assigned. For further information, contact the Battalion S-1 at (206) 971-3686.
If you have family members, it is best that they report with you to the Battalion Headquarters located at 4735 East Marginal Way S, Seattle, WA 98134. They will be briefed on all aspects of medical and dental plans and coverage. For information on all aspects of Soldier and Family Assistance, contact the Seattle Battalion Soldier and Family Assistance Program Manager at usarmy.knox.usarec.list.6lbn-sfa@army.mil.
Again, welcome to the Trailblazer Team.
