My family wants to go to GA while I'm gone for a year. I have a HAAP in place for TX. Is there a way to move them to GA and keep my HAAP?

Hey SGT while I don't know anything about the HAAP I will refer your situation to my contacts who do.

I'm on a same boat as you are, yes you can take your family to GA but the Army will not move your stuff out there. All your HHG will go straight to Texas and the Army will only hold your HHG for 90 days.

I was in a similar situation a couple years ago. I was put on assignment for a one year dependent restricted short tour. My family didn’t want to stay where they were nor did they want to go off to my HAAP so they moved where they wanted to and put our HHG’s in storage. They rented an apartment for a year and received BAH for where they were living. Upon my return they met me at my next assignment after shipping/ mailing their accumulated belongings at our expense. I have not heard of the Army paying to move someone more than once unless there were mitigating circumstances.
This really worked out better for us because when I talked to branch asking about next duty assignments, I did not PCS to my HAAP location.
