Sponsorship Overview

Moving is a way of life for service members and their families. Resources like MilitaryINSTALLATIONS,Plan My MoveandMilitary OneSourceprovide important information to help make moving easier. For many newcomers, a sponsor can helpaddthat personal touch.

A sponsor is assigned by a newcomer's gaining unit and helps the newcomer before, during and after a move. If you haven't been assigned a sponsor, you can request one through your new unit. Units try to match sponsors and service members by rank and family status.

Subtopics

To help prepare sponsors for success, the Sponsorship Program provides training and access to important information and resources that can help newcomers master their move. The Sponsorship Program helps sponsors fulfill their responsibilities, which may include:

Contacting the service member and family with an introductory email
Staying in contact with the service member throughout the moving process
Sending information about the new community and duty assignment, responding to questions and providing information about resources
Confirming transportation and lodging arrangements
Helping with post office arrangements
Meeting service members and family members upon arrival
Going with service members to unit check-in point
Introducing service members to the Military and Family Support Center and loan closet, if it’s available
Familiarizing service members and families with the installation and key locations, like the commissary

Note: Responsibilities may vary based on service-specific policies and guidance. Make sure to check with your service branch for sponsor training requirements.

Overall, the Sponsorship Program aims to:

Provide newcomers with a sense of belonging
Ease the transition for inbound service members or civilians and their family members
Increase productivity of service members and loved ones
Help newcomers make informed decisions
Cultivate new friendships
Improve morale

For more information on the Sponsorship Program, contact your installation Military and Family Support Center.

Sponsorship is also available for youth. Installation youth sponsorship programs help military-connected youth make a successful transition to a new community. Primarily directed to preteen and teenaged youth, installation youth programs/centers provide information and materials on programs and services available at their new location. Where available, youth can exchange emails, talk on the phone or chat online with other youth. The youth program staff at your new installation can offer more information on installation youth sponsorship programs.

You can also contact your installation School Liaison Program office for information about school-based youth sponsorship programs such as Anchored4Life and Student2Student. These peer-to-peer programs help your student adjust to and navigate their new school.

If your child would like to become a youth sponsor, contact your installation School Liaison Program or youth program/center.

The Hunter Army Airfield/Fort Stewart Sponsorship Program requires every soldier, sergeant (E-5) through Colonel (0-6), receiving an assignment to Fort Stewart, be provided an advanced-arrival sponsor. To get the benefits of the Sponsorship Program, Soldiers must fill out the DA Form 5434 (Sponsorship Program Counseling and Information Sheet) in Army Career Tracker (ACT). The program also provides that every effort be made to provide a pinpoint assignment and facilitate an advanced-arrival sponsor for all married soldiers in the grade of E1 through E4. A reactionary sponsor will be provided for these Soldiers if a pinpoint assignment and advance-arrival sponsor cannot be provided. A reactionary sponsor for single soldiers in grade E1 through E4 will also be provided.

If you have any questions about Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield sponsorship or are requesting a sponsor, please contact the Sponsoship Coordinator at 912-767-9411 (DSN 312-870-9411).
