Command Sponsorship, ID card, and orders. These are the first three things you need to focus on when you PCS to Germany (or anywhere else overseas) through the US military.
When a military member (or civilian) receives “soft” orders overseas, they will either be accompanied (w/dependents) or unaccompanied (w/out dependents).
If you’re accompanied, your family members MUST be command sponsored to be eligible for all types of special benefits:
Such as moving expenses, overseas housing, travel, TLA, schooling, Visa/sofa status, postal services and On post facilities

There are several requirements to get started. Assuming you have soft orders…
First thing’s first. Apply for your ID card through DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System).
ID card (DEERS): www.tricare.mil/DEERS
For command sponsorship, submit a packet through the MPD (Military Personnel Division). You’ll need to fill out several forms, and then provide proof of your dependents (birth certificates, marriage license, custody documents, etc).
USAG Bavaria Example Command Sponsorship Checklist: drive.google.com/file/d/1-96H...
Requirements to get started:
- Apply for your ID card through DEERS
- Submit a packet to MPD
- DA Form 4187 (Request of Command Sponsorship)
- Enlisted/Officer Record Brief (ERB/ORB) - ETS date must have 12 months left in service and sponsor must serve a 36 month tour
- DA FORM 5888 w/EFMP review stamp: Family Medical Screening
- DD FORM 2792
- Marriage/Birth Certificate (for all family members) *Notarized copies
- Spouse’s citizenship
- Passport (for non US citizens)
- Proof of Custody Court Documents (As required) Minor dependent must reside with military member for min 6 months/year
- PCS (soft) Orders to Germany
You MUST get your dependents (spouse/kids) on your orders. This will help kickstart so many things, such as your passports and getting on the housing waiting list.
However, the only way to get hard copy orders and all your dependents on command sponsorship for an OCONUS (overseas) tour is by completing the EFMP program first.
*Usually… “soft orders” are provided with only the service member (aka “sponsor”) on them initially. Then once EFMP and command sponsorship is complete, they will amend the orders to add the family members. Once everyone is accounted for, you'll be given "hard orders" on paper.
