Military Address Tips
Use the service member's full name (with or without rank or rating), military organization or unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code (if one is assigned) and a return address.
Example
City: APO or FPO
State: AE = Armed Forces - Europe; AP = Armed Forces - Pacific ; AA = Armed Forces - USA/Canada.
Zip: 96362
All military units are assigned an APO or FPO ZIP Code and in many cases that ZIP Code travels with the unit. The Postal Service places APO/FPO mail on special charter flights, commercial airlines, and military service aircraft at military and U.S. airports.
When planes arrive overseas, the mail is tendered to the military and transported via local military transportation to delivery points.
The time to deliver varies depending on the category of mail and the country of destination. According to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), depending on where the servicemember is located. There may be size restrictions and customs declaration form requirements to some locations as mail going through the MPSA can be subject to the host country customs requirements.
Programs that allowed the general public to send mail addressed to "Any Service Member" are no longer available. For further information on sending mail/packages to APO/FPO addresses visit Oconus.com
