Student Hub: Lodging

On 1 OCT 2015, the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) assumed management of the Army Lodge on Fort Gregg-Adams, VA. The Army Sustainment University (ASU) has established a Privatized Army Lodging (PAL) program that will manage the required on-post lodging reservations of ASU students attending classes in one of the ten course categories below. If you have questions regarding the PAL program email the PAL Office or call 804.765.4924/0093. If your email program doesn't open, copy the following usarmy.gregg-adams.tradoc.mbx.asu-pal@mail.mil and paste in your email program to contact PAL.

Students attending one of the courses listed above will be notified by their course manager, a minimum of 30 calendar days from the class report date, as to whether their course will be lodged on or off-post. If lodging is available on-post, soldiers attending one of the courses listed above will be housed on-post at no cost to the service member or the sending command. The PAL office will only make on-post reservations for students who have a confirmed ATRRS reservation (“R” status only) and whose class has been identified by IHG as eligible for on-post lodging.
