United States Military Academy at West Point Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point is also known as West Point and is located in West Point, New York.

It was originally a fort because of its vantage point that oversees the Hudson River. There are five American service academies but this is one is the oldest of them. The academy was established as far back as 1802. It trains Cadets and is fully funded by the military.

Being posted to USMA West Point is a great opportunity to have a look at how soldiers are made. While there are a lot of exciting things to do there, there will be the small matter of getting your vehicle to the academy.

Shipping to a Base in the CONUS Area

USMA West Point is located in West Point, New York, United States. This means that the military isn’t sponsoring the shipping of your vehicle and even your things to the academy. You will have to make those arrangements yourself.

A few officers, however, will be exempted from this rule allowing them to get government-sponsored shipping. Contact your transportation officer to know if you are eligible for an exemption.

While getting ready, contact auto shipping companies to get quotes and insight.
