The Army Maintenance Activity, a new mobile-friendly website to submit work orders, is preferred method for community members to submit maintenance requests for U.S. Army Garrison Italy.

ArMA officials estimate this will save more than 5,000 hours of manpower in one year.

Customers should give a good description and when you submit a photo, the work gets done about 25 percent faster on average.

Any registered user who notices a maintenance issue on their Army installation will be able to report the problem with ease. Additionally, unit leaders can create reports on maintenance status of all their buildings.

As we head into the Summer Surge of PCS, here is a reminder of how the Marco Polo Shuttle Bus operates:

YOU MUST MAKE AN ONLINE RESERVATION TO BE ADDED TO THE DAILY MANIFEST - link below

Priority 1 - PCS/ETS Soldiers and their family members

Priority 2 - Emergency Leave

Priority 3 - TDY

Priority 4 - Ordinary Leave

VMC to Marco Polo International Airport - Marco Polo LNO's from the CPF will conduct thorough screenings of those boarding the bus at each pick-up point on Ederle. Priority 2-4 will be allowed on the bus if there is space after Priority 1 passengers are onboard after stopping at all three pick-up locations on Ederle. Those in priority 2-4 should be prepared to have an alternate method of getting to the airport. There are no exceptions especially for those who have been directed to use the shuttle for TDY. The Marco Polo Shuttle Bus is contracted for PCS/ETS Soldiers only. Vicenza is the only community in Europe that provides free shuttle service for outbound passengers.

Marco Polo International Airport to VMC - The same priorities above apply for those seeking service from the airport to the Vicenza Military Community.

To make a reservation for the Marco Polo Shuttle Bus go to the USAG Italy Home Page (https://home.army.mil/italy) and click on the Shuttle Bus Schedules link. Near the bottom you will see a link ONLINE RESERVATION. You must have a CAC card to use the online reservation system. For questions, call DSN 646-5148.
