We're dedicated to solving the TDY housing challenge for military members. Our platform connects aviators and aircrew with quality crash pads near training bases—making temporary duty assignments more comfortable and affordable.
Military training assignments shouldn't mean choosing between cramped base lodging and hotel stays that may not fit their needs. We believe every service member deserves comfortable, affordable housing during their TDY.
DoD Crash Pads was founded to bridge this gap—creating a trusted marketplace where property managers can list crash pads and military members can easily find housing that meets their needs and budget.
Our platform focuses on the unique requirements of military TDY housing: per diem compliance, flexible lease terms that accommodate military orders, proximity to training bases, and amenities that support focused study and relaxation between demanding training days.
The traditional options for TDY housing leave much to be desired. We built DoD Crash Pads to give military members a better choice.
Limited availability, small rooms, no kitchens, restricted amenities, and communal facilities. Not ideal for months of intensive training.
Hotel rates, kitchen facilities and receipt options vary. Compare the total cost and amenities with your needs for an extended TDY stay.
Compare homes, rooms and amenities, with nightly rates commonly matching local on-base lodging. Eligible expenses can be fully reimbursed up to the applicable on-base limit; confirm rates and lodging requirements for your assignment.
Everything we do is guided by our commitment to serving the military community.
Compare listing details and ask managers for a complete quote, including fees and deposits.
Built specifically for service members. We understand military life and its unique requirements.
Review property photos, descriptions and available reviews, then ask the manager about the amenities and condition of the property.
We listen to feedback and constantly enhance our platform to better serve our users.
Our platform was developed with deep understanding of military TDY requirements, JTR regulations, and the specific needs of aviators and aircrew in training programs.
We've consulted with pilots who've completed UPT, PIT, IFF, and other training programs to understand what makes crash pad housing truly valuable during demanding assignments.
The result is a platform designed from the ground up for military members—with features like per diem rate filtering, DTS documentation requirements, and flexible booking that accommodates shifting training schedules.
DoD Crash Pads isn't just for renters—we're a platform that benefits property managers too. If you own property near a military training base and want to serve the military community, we make it easy to connect with qualified tenants.
