It is our sincere pleasure to welcome you to the Republic of Korea and the United States Forces Korea (USFK) Headquarters community. USFK is a joint command consisting of United States Forces Korea, United Nations Command (UNC), and Combined Forces Command (CFC). Together, we form a unified team committed to defending the Korean Peninsula and supporting regional security.
An overseas Permanent Change of Station (PCS) can bring unique challenges, even for those with prior experience. Whether you are assigned to USFK, UNC, or CFC, this information is intended to support your successful transition. From unit sponsorship programs to human resources offices and newcomer resources, each organization is dedicated to helping you and your family adjust smoothly to life in Korea.
Living and serving in Korea offers a unique opportunity to experience a dynamic culture while contributing to a critical mission. Across the peninsula, you'll find vibrant communities and a wide range of support services, including Family and Community Programs, Child and Youth Services, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), the USO, Better Opportunities for Single Service Members (BOSS), and more.
While relocating overseas can be demanding, know that the entire USFK team is here to support you—throughout your PCS process and your tour of duty. On behalf of USFK and all its components, welcome to Korea. We are proud to have you with us.

While the USFK Newcomers website provides general guidance, each component may have its own policies, procedures, and newcomer resources. We encourage you to connect with your unit or visit their official pages for the most accurate and detailed information.
