Overseas assignment location information
Use the interactive map to find information for overseas assignment locations. It brings together information from multiple sources into a central location helping you prior to departure and whilst in-country – each pin takes you to information for that location.
Alternatively, use the tiles below to navigate the location information available on this site:
Loan Service
If you are being posted to a location on Loan Service, such as Oman, some arrangements and terms and conditions may be different to those who are posted via a different route. The Service person should receive a booklet from their Career Manager with a range of information about loan service for the location.
We brief family members who are going on loan service three times a year in groups, which is arranged by MOD. You are welcome to contact us at any time with a specific query if you have any concerns or a specific questions.
Global information sources
If the location you are going to is not covered, here we share some information which is applicable wherever you are in the world:
Overseas Welfare Information
There is usually local welfare provision overseas and you should be made aware by your unit where to go locally with welfare concerns – this will often be covered on arrival briefings.
In remote locations, and on smaller units, there may be limitations to what is available locally, so we have compiled a list of resources with a global reach.
