"Active duty storage is storage for service members and military families who are moving to a new base. Military service personnel and their families who are deployed to overseas duties don’t have the option of transporting large quantities to their new post. They must keep their things in stateside storage to make the move easier.
Self-storage is also used by military families moving to a new base within the United States. Although most eventually bring their belongings, self-storage is a good place to temporarily keep their things while looking for new lodgings. Self-storage can also be used to store bulky or unnecessary items in cases where you must move into a smaller and more affordable home in your newly assigned area."
