Command Sponsorship

Authorized only in those areas that haven’t been identified as dependent restricted by DODD 1315.7

Basically, command sponsorship means the dependents can travel with their sponsor and upon arrival housing is available and the dependents are authorized to use the medical facilities, dental facilities, commissary and any other support facilities. The dependents are authorized by the AF to be at that location.

Impact if dependents accompany the sponsor and are not command sponsored:

• Dependents are not authorized medical care
• Use of the BX or commissary 
• The dependents would not be allowed to use any of the support facilities.

If you get married before you PCS you must inform your Commander and follow the procedures exactly as you are given. The military will not pay for travel and housing of your spouse if you do not follow proper procedures. For more information you can call your local Military Personnel Flight or the MPF at your gaining base- Wright- Patterson AFB MPF 937-522-3664 or DSN 312-672-3664.
