Soldiers are transported by group to and from the airports, train stations, and Greyhound bus terminals by Fort Jackson contracted shuttle. The Army does NOT provide airport transportation free of charge for personal leave. Therefore, these are Fort Jackson contracted shuttle buses to pick up soldiers on Fort Jackson and transport them to the airports, train stations, and Greyhound bus terminals.
For those traveling home by Greyhound commercial bus, a shuttle ticket is also required to get them to the Columbia SC bus station.
