The mission of Total Army Sponsorship Program (TASP) is to provide assistance to incoming and outgoing Soldiers to use the ✪ARMY ACTNOW online system to find a sponsor at their next duty station and to train Soldiers to become better sponsors to their organization.
REQUEST A SPONSOR: INCOMING SOLDIERS (Step-by-Step Process)
Click on the Sponsorship tab and sub Tab for Form and complete sections 1, 2, 4 and 5. Leave section 3 blank for the gaining unit to complete.
After you have completed those sections, please check the portion “I certify” block below your rank in section 1 and save your form at the bottom of the page.
Entering this information in the ACT system will generate your DA Form 5434 while sending your information to the gaining installation and unit. The gaining unit will complete section 3 and contact the in-coming Soldier.
Should you require additional information or have questions about this process, please EMAIL TASP.

After you have completed those sections, please check the portion “I certify” block below your rank in section 1 and save your form at the bottom of the page.

The gaining unit will complete section 3 and contact the Soldier. Section 3 must be completed in order to obtain the TASP stamp for your levy packet. If you are having issues with obtaining a sponsor, request assistance from your BN/BDE Sponsorship Representative.
