For soldiers who are getting married en route, they will need to check with the losing installation before they depart to find out what needs to be done to get command sponsorship for their spouse. If this is not done before they leave, then they will have to come unaccompanied to Germany and start the process of getting command sponsorship.

Spouses are free to attend any portion of the in-processing they would like. Spouses will schedule own times for the driver's training and testing.
