Fort Hood name note

The Army installation next to Killeen is designated Fort Hood. It was named Fort Cavazos from 2023 until 11 June 2025 (AGO 2025–14). People still search “Fort Cavazos,” so both names appear where that helps readers.

Move checklist (household planning)

Before accepting keys: Ask for the last full-duct cleaning date; record slow drying on the move-in condition report.
Before authorizing work: Off-post (Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove)—ask who approves and pays. On-post—use the housing office process.
When the dryer moves: Recheck the transition connection after installation.
Before final walk-through: Keep the invoice with address, date, scope, and remaining recommendations.
During travel: Do not leave a dryer running while away. A PCS date does not guarantee an appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Is dryer vent cleaning required for a Fort Hood PCS move-out?

This guide cannot establish a move-out requirement. Ask your landlord, property manager, or housing office for the written checklist and who authorizes the work. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Army, Fort Hood, Fort Cavazos, or any housing office.

Is it Fort Hood or Fort Cavazos?

The current official name is Fort Hood. It was designated Fort Cavazos from 2023 until 11 June 2025, when Army General Orders 2025–14 redesignated it Fort Hood. Both names appear in searches; this site uses Fort Hood as current and notes the prior name for clarity.

When should the connection be checked?

Have the transition connection checked after the dryer is installed at the new place—not only before the moving truck arrives. Do not disturb gas connections yourself; use a qualified professional.

Can this site get me on-post access?

No. A referral from this site does not establish installation access. Use the housing office’s own maintenance process for on-post housing.
