If someone gets married right before an overseas PCS, how will I get my new wife over there with me?

Hello everyone,
Due to last minute changes my girlfriend and I got married. Unfortunately I move in 2 weeks and my orders are still unaccompanied. I have been given multiple pieces of advice ranging from applying for command sponsorship before I leave to waiting until I get there to get her sponsored but the process is so long and unfamiliar to me I don’t know what to do and I’m worried she won’t be able to follow me. She is unable to leave until about 3 months from now. What is the easiest method for getting my wife command sponsored when I am scheduled to leave so soon?

I've never stayed at Aviano but only passed through.
Have you asked your receiving 1SG? i always found them helpful.

You probably can't do it until you get there. Reach out to your incoming unit for advice.

Work with the receiving Command to get sponsorship. Sounds like you have some wiggle room on that considering your Wife can't leave earlier than 90 days out. It will most likely not happen until you are boots on the ground in Italy. Good Luck.

Thank you sir, it sounds like that is the most likely way to go forward. Appreciate it!
