No matter how many times you've completed a PCS move, or even if you've been assigned to U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz before, you need to contact your sponsor to make sure you're aware of the latest in-processing policies and requirements BEFORE arrival.
Sponsorship is required for all personnel in the USAREUR-AF / USAG Rheinland-Pfalz footprint for optimal onboarding, integration and stability.
Your sponsor is the key to your successful PCS. He or she will save you valuable time and hassle before, during, and after your arrival.
Your gaining unit will appoint a sponsor to assist you with in-processing and acculturation. You will need to log into IPPS-A and update your personal email and phone information. Your Army email may not be accessible to you during transit.
To assist Soldiers sponsoring inbound families, we have established Youth and Spouse Sponsorship programs. These programs work with your Soldier sponsor to provide comprehensive sponsorship experience, and ensure the entire family is welcomed appropriately. Talk to your Soldier sponsor about the Youth and Spouse Sponsorship programs today!
If you are 4 weeks or less away from your arrival, and you have not yet made contact with your sponsor or your gaining unit, please email the SPONSORSHIP LIAISON OFFICE, or call commercial (+49) (0) 611-143-541-1010 or DSN: (314) 541-1010.
