Request for Command Sponsorship

A Request for Command Sponsorship is a document used by service members to seek approval for their dependents to accompany them on an overseas assignment. Key features include:

1. Personal and service information of the service member

2. Information about dependents (spouse, children)

3. Details of the overseas assignment (location, duration)

4. Justification for command sponsorship

5. Medical and educational needs of dependents

This request allows service members to formally apply for their family members to be officially recognized and supported during an overseas tour of duty. Command sponsorship can provide benefits such as housing, medical care, and education support for dependents in the foreign location. It helps ensure that the family’s needs are considered and provided for during the overseas assignment.
