Sponsorship Support for Personnel Transitioning to Korea

A well-structured sponsorship program is essential to supporting Service Members and Department of Defense (DoD) civilians as they transition to an overseas assignment. Within United States Forces Korea (USFK), including United Nations Command (UNC) and Combined Forces Command (CFC), sponsorship plays a critical role in ensuring individuals and families receive the guidance and resources needed for a smooth relocation to the Republic of Korea.

Sponsors serve as your first connection to the unit or organization and provide key information related to in-processing, housing, transportation, local services, and cultural awareness. Early engagement with a sponsor helps reduce the stress of moving, improves readiness, and enhances overall quality of life.
