CONUS Bound

Soldiers on assignment to a CONUS location must ensure they have a minimum of 24 months service remaining to qualify for the assignment. Some CONUS assignments require 36 months of service remaining; please check your Reassignment Notification to be sure. Once you are fully qualified (meet service requirement, not flagged, etc.), your PCS Order will be emailed to your AKO email address within 5 to 7 business days depending on your report date to your gaining command. PCS Orders for CONUS bound Soldiers are generally published six months from the report date. PCS Orders are published and emailed to the Soldier’s AKO email address and to the unit S-1. If you are within six months of your report date and have not received your PCS Order.

OCONUS Bound

OCONUS bound Soldiers requesting family travel Command Sponsorship must submit the appropriate documentation for screening. They must also ensure they have at least 36 months of service remaining for most OCONUS locations and 24 months remaining for Korea. Once the Reassignment office receives the completed family screening forms the request will be forwarded to the gaining command for consideration.

PCS Orders will not be published until a family travel decision has been rendered by the gaining command. OCONUS bound Soldiers that have elected to serve a ‘without dependents’ tour will generally receive their PCS Order within 10 business days after attending the mandatory Overseas Reassignment briefing.

All Enlisted Soldiers - Soldiers that do not meet the remaining service requirement will not receive their PCS Order until they have reenlisted or extended for the required timeframe. First term Soldiers that are required to reenlist or extend to meet their service remaining requirement are authorized to decline the assignment without retribution. Career Soldiers must either reenlist or extend to meet the service remaining requirement or sign a declination of continued service statement which does have negative consequences – see your Battalion Retention NCO for more details.

Officers

When Officers are placed on assignment, Officers will receive a notification to complete member elections. Once your member elections are completed, your PCS Order will be published and emailed to your AKO email address along with the Ft. Riley Reassignment Guide. PCS Orders are generally published six months prior to the report date. Please contact Reassignments if you have any questions regarding your assignment or PCS Order.

Deletions, Deferments, & Early Arrival

Request for deletion/deferment must be received within 30 days of the IPPS-A notification to complete “my assignment elections.” The Soldier will submit an IPPS-A Administrative Record Correction PAR. It will state the following in the more information block: 1. Report date 2. Request for either deletion or number of days deferment (e.g., 30, 60, 90-day deferment). 3. State Documents must include 4187 signed by the first COL (O6) in chain of command along with supporting documentation to justify the hardship. Soldier or unit S1 can submit documentation to the Reassignment office. Soldiers should not do any non-reversible actions while pending a deletion such as shipping household goods.
