The 8th Fighter Wing Mission: "Defend the Base (Hooah), Accept Follow on Forces (Bring it), Take the Fight North (Wolf Pack)."

The vision for the 8th Fighter Wing is to be "a resilient warfighting wing ready to deliver combat airpower at a moment's notice; honoring our legacy by fostering an environment of teamwork, dignity, and respect; enhancing the Wolf Pack culture of innovation, compliance, and excellence, 1-year tour with a 10-year vision."

Effective immediately, Kunsan AB has implemented the Command Sponsorship Program. This program allows members to apply for a two-year accompanied tour instead of a one-year unaccompanied tour. The goal is to fill 20 CSP billets. The 24-month accompanied tour will allow greater stability for families and reduce disruption. It will also allow families to experience Korea together with their dependents.

Things to consider before requesting a CSP billet:

• No on base housing available
• No on base U.S. Child Development Center and limited ROKAF and off base options
• No on-base schools or special services, but funds are available for non-DOW options
• All medical for dependents is off base; dependents are responsible for filing their own claims for reimbursed by TRICARE Overseas Select.

KOREA Assignment Incentive Pay is still available as a means to a two year tour, while bringing dependents in a non-CSP capacity. Airmen filling a CSP slot does not quality or KAIP however, they will earn an increase in household goods allowance, funded dependent travel, prioritized dependent support and education funding for school age children. If you would like to apply for the Command Sponsorship Program, please contact 8 FW Military Personnel Flight at DSN: 315-782-8377 or via email at 8fss.mps@us.af.mil

NOTE: CSP is limited and subject to installation approval and support capacity (housing, education, medical).
