MCO 11000.22 - Unaccompanied Housing

Scope

MCO 11000.22, MARINE CORPS BACHELOR AND FAMILY HOUSING MANAGEMENT, establishes Marine Corps policy and prescribes requirements governing the management and administration of the Marine Corps Bachelor and Family Housing enterprise. The portal files it under Unaccompanied Housing because commander and admin surfaces reach it for UH duties. The order largely incorporates the prior MCO 11000.1 content, and the "MCO 11000.1" alias resolves to this entry so historical references in commander and admin pages continue to render the correct chip.

This Order establishes Marine Corps policy and prescribes requirements governing the management and administration of the Marine Corps Bachelor and Family Housing enterprise. Recent investments in Family and Bachelor Housing infrastructure have significantly improved the quality of life for Marines and their families. [...]
