Apo mail format

APO (Army Post Office) mail format is a standardized format used by the United States Army to send and receive mail to and from military personnel stationed overseas. Here is the typical format:

Address Format:

• Recipient's Name
• Rank (if applicable)
• Unit Designator (e.g. 101st Airborne Division)
• APO (Army Post Office) Number (e.g. APO 12345)
• City (e.g. FPO, AE, or AA)
• State (not required, but can be included)
• Zip Code (not required, but can be included)

Example:

• John Doe
• SGT
• 101st Airborne Division
• APO 12345
• FPO, AE
• 12345

Notes:

• The APO number is a unique identifier assigned to each Army Post Office.
• The city "FPO" stands for "Fleet Post Office" and is used for mail sent to ships and naval vessels.
• The city "AE" stands for "Armed Forces Europe" and is used for mail sent to military personnel stationed in Europe.
• The city "AA" stands for "Armed Forces Americas" and is used for mail sent to military personnel stationed in the Americas.
• The state and zip code are not required, but can be included if desired.
• The recipient's name and rank (if applicable) should be written in the same format as they would be on a civilian address.

Tips:

• Make sure to use the correct APO number for the recipient's location.
• Use the correct city designation (FPO, AE, or AA) for the recipient's location.
• Use the same format for both outgoing and incoming mail.
• If you are unsure about the correct format, you can check with the recipient or the US Postal Service for guidance.
