Transportation for Military Operations Across Iowa
When it comes to military operations, timing is everything. That's why we offer 24/7 support and dispatch services to ensure that your personnel and equipment always arrive on schedule. We've worked with units from the Iowa Army National Guard, Air National Guard, Army Reserve, and Marine Corps Reserve to provide transportation for drills, deployments, and training exercises at locations like Camp Dodge in Johnston, the Iowa Air National Guard base at Des Moines International Airport, and the Marine Corps Reserve Center on Aurora Avenue. Whether you're moving a small squad or an entire battalion, we'll make sure everyone gets to their destination safely and efficiently.
Need to move troops or equipment across the state? We regularly run routes between Des Moines and other key installations like the Iowa City Armory, Cedar Rapids Armed Forces Reserve Center, and Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. Our largest buses offer up to 56 seats, so you can move entire units together without splitting up vehicles. And if you have sensitive cargo or classified materials, rest assured that our team understands the importance of operational security.
Government Transportation Services Built Around Your Schedule
In addition to our military services, we also provide transportation solutions for federal, state, and local government agencies throughout the Des Moines area. That includes everything from daily employee shuttles between downtown offices and the Neal Smith Federal Building, to special event transportation for conferences and public hearings at the Iowa State Capitol Complex.
If you're hosting a large event like the Governor's Annual Budget Address or the Iowa Homeland Security Conference, we can set up a dedicated shuttle loop to help attendees navigate the Capitol grounds and surrounding parking areas. For smaller groups, our minibuses seat 18–25 passengers and are perfect for site visits, training sessions, and airport transfers.
Base Transfers Made Simple
Moving personnel between bases and training sites is a logistical challenge—but it's one that Coach Bus Des Moines handles with ease. We've provided base transfer services for units stationed at Camp Dodge, the Des Moines Air National Guard Base, and other installations across Iowa. Whether you're conducting a routine rotation or a large-scale exercise, we'll work with your operations staff to develop a transportation plan that keeps everything running smoothly.
Our buses are equipped with comfortable seating, climate control, and onboard restrooms, making them ideal for long-distance trips to out-of-state facilities like Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri or Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. If your schedule includes multiple stops, we can arrange for meal breaks and overnight accommodations along the route. With Coach Bus Des Moines, your troops will arrive rested and ready for duty.
Transportation for Large-scale Movements
When it's time to mobilize a large force, you need a transportation partner that can deliver. Coach Bus Des Moines has the resources and experience to handle mass movements involving hundreds of soldiers and dozens of vehicles. We've supported brigade-level exercises and emergency deployments, coordinating closely with military planners to synchronize bus arrivals and departures.
During a recent operation, we provided 20 buses to transport an infantry battalion from Des Moines to a remote training area over 200 miles away. Despite challenging weather conditions and tight timelines, the entire movement was completed without incident. That's the kind of performance you can expect when you choose Coach Bus Des Moines.

Coach Bus Des Moines has extensive experience working with military installations throughout the Des Moines region, including Camp Dodge—the headquarters of the Iowa National Guard—and the Des Moines Air National Guard Base located at the Des Moines International Airport. We understand the unique access requirements and security protocols associated with these facilities, and we’ll ensure that your transportation runs smoothly from start to finish.
Whether you’re conducting a weekend drill, a multi-day training exercise, or a full-scale deployment, we’ll coordinate closely with base officials to schedule pickups and drop-offs at designated locations. Our goal is to provide seamless, gate-to-gate service that keeps your operation on track.
