Command Sponsorship
Authorized only in those areas that haven’t been identified as dependent restricted by DODD 1315.7
Basically command sponsorship means the dependents can travel with their sponsor and upon arrival housing is available and the dependents are authorized to use the medical facilities, dental facilities, commissary and any other support facilities. The dependents are authorized by the AF to be at that location.
Impact if dependents accompany the sponsor and are not command sponsored: Dependents are not authorized medical care, use of the BX or commissary; the dependents would not be allowed to use any of the support facilities. The location is not designed to handle dependent support.
E.G. Dependent restricted area: South Korea—Kunsan does not have base housing, medical facilities and schools to support a large number of dependents. Osan only has limited facilities for dependents for those selected individuals that are in command sponsored billets.
What to do if you Get Married Enroute
If you get married before you PCS, you must inform your Commander and follow the procedures exactly as you are given them. The military will not pay for travel and housing of your spouse if you do not follow proper procedures.
