WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio —
Reserve Citizen Airmen now have a new way to make accommodation reservations for unit training assemblies.
Traveling reservists can make UTA reservations from the Automated Lodging Reservation System application. Airmen will also be able to request accommodation for other service statuses on dates other than UTA.
To use the app, Airmen must provide their cell phone numbers to the Services Desk in Building 4014, Room 175 or by email to 445aw.fsv@us.af.mil, so information can be entered into the system.
The free ALRS app can be downloaded from the Android, Google Play or iPhone app stores. Service members must have a smart phone and be prepared to accept SMS charges and data charges.
The app will issue users with a mobile ID number to set up a personally identifiable number when they first log in.
From the booking screen, reservists can call, view the map, and get directions to the hotel. They can also cancel their reservations from the app. When canceling a reservation, Airmen must cancel both nights individually.
Users can view their reservation for two upcoming UTAs.
Members currently registered in ALRS with cell phone numbers will receive a text message with instructions for registering in the mobile app. Airmen are strongly recommended to download/set up the app in advance to make the process easier.
ALRS Reminders:
- The reservation request deadline remains the same: 10 days before noon.
- Reprogrammed UTAs can be requested in the ALRS app, but Airmen must provide the Service Desk with a 40A.
- Annual tour and other service status that is in conjunction with UTA can also be requested in the ALRS application, but payment documentation must be provided.
- Cancellations can be made through the ALRS app, but Airmen should still call the assigned hotel to verify. No-show letters are sent to unit commanders.
The call system is always available; however, the number became (937) 668-9352.
Please contact the Service Desk at (937) 656-0708 if you have any questions.
