Flexible Uses for Portable Storage in Military Applications

Military life is anything but ordinary, and it often requires practical, adaptable solutions to stay mission-ready. That’s where UNITS® steps in. We offer 12- and 16-foot portable containers built to withstand the elements and meet the demands of military schedules, logistics, and relocations. Here’s how our storage services can assist those who serve:

1. Simplify PCS Relocations

A PCS move often involves strict timelines, changing housing arrangements, and complex logistics. UNITS® helps streamline the process by delivering a portable container directly to your home. Take your time packing, and once you’re ready, we’ll transport your items to your next destination, whether it’s a new assignment within Southeast Michigan or a cross-country move to another base.

2. Non-Temporary Storage

For military families eligible for Non-Temporary Storage (NTS), where long-term storage is needed instead of immediate delivery, UNITS® offers a reliable and secure alternative to traditional storage warehouses. Instead of having your household goods scattered or stored in inaccessible government-contracted facilities, we provide climate-controlled storage with easy access and personalized customer service. Whether you’re deployed overseas, assigned to a remote location, or awaiting long-term housing, UNITS® ensures your belongings are safe, protected, and available when you need them.

3. Storage During Deployment

Deployments often mean leaving behind personal belongings or household items. UNITS® offers a safe place for everything that needs to be stored while you’re away. Choose between secure on-site storage or have your container stored at our climate-controlled facility for additional peace of mind.

4. On-Base Equipment Storage

UNITS® containers are ideal for military installations managing operational equipment, maintenance tools, and training gear. Bases in Southeast Michigan, including Selfridge Air National Guard Base and Battle Creek ANGB, can benefit from having secure, on-site containers that ensure supplies are organized, protected, and readily accessible for mission-critical use.

5. Disaster Response & Emergency Readiness

In emergency situations—whether natural disasters or public health crises, having secure, portable storage available can be a game-changer. UNITS® containers can be used by bases to store medical kits, response gear, generators, food supplies, and other emergency items. Our quick delivery system ensures your team is ready when the unexpected happens.

6. Temporary Storage During Housing Transitions

Families moving between duty stations or waiting for on-base housing often need short-term storage solutions. UNITS® containers are a secure option for keeping furniture and personal belongings nearby during these transitions. With flexible rental terms and on-site or off-site storage available, we help military families stay organized while settling into new homes.

7. Event & Training Logistics Support

Military events and training exercises require the transport and storage of bulky materials, electronics, tents, and gear. Our portable containers make it easy to move everything you need and keep it secure until it’s time to unpack. Whether it’s for a graduation ceremony, a recruitment event, or a field drill, UNITS® supports the logistics so you can focus on the mission.

How to Use UNITS® for Military Moving Needs

At UNITS® of Southeast Michigan, we make the moving process straightforward and stress-free. Our approach is designed to give military families and base staff the flexibility they need during transitions:

  1. Delivery on Your Terms
    We bring your storage container directly to your property or base using our advanced ROBO-UNIT® delivery system. This technology allows for precision placement, even in tight or uneven areas, ensuring your container is delivered exactly where you need it.

  2. Pack at Your Own Speed
    Life in the military is hectic, UNITS® allows you to pack on your timeline. Skip the pressure of traditional moving companies and get the job done at your pace.

  3. Dependable Transport
    Once you’ve packed up, we’ll transport your container safely to your next destination—whether across Southeast Michigan or across state lines.

  4. Secure Storage When Needed
    If your move-in date isn’t immediate or you’re waiting on housing approval, we can store your packed container at our secure, climate-controlled warehouse until you’re ready.

  5. Easy Unloading
    Once you’ve arrived at your new location, we’ll deliver the container so you can unpack when it works for you, no deadlines, no pressure.
