Can I move my family to Bragg on post while I am in Korea?

I currently live in Germany with my family and recently reenlisted for Korea with a follow on assignment back to Fort Bragg. Can I move my family to Bragg on post while im in Korea? If I go to Bragg with my family will the Army pay for a ticket to Bragg and then to Korea?

Why didn't you ask your Career Counselor? This is exactly what's supposed to be covered in a post reenlistment counseling.
Yes you can move your family to your HAAP. Most likely, Port call will only provide you with a ticket to your new assignment and only within a small window of time. However, you can go to travel and have it amended. You will pay the difference in price between your old ticket and the new one.
As to getting your family on post, that will only occur if your HAAP is in your orders. Specifically, your MPD or levy section will cover this in their levy brief.

Your choose where you catch the plane to Korea with the travel department along with what date. That's easy. The family part sounds tricky. I think @SSG Jesus Roman would be able to assist you.

A big chunk of your answers are in AR 55-46, chapter 2. Mainly talking about the designated locations. Additionally, if you are going to assist with the relocation of your dependents while PCS, make sure you have that statement is added to your orders. You will also want to peek at AR 614-200, Chapter 9. And the other piece is you will need to make contact with the gaining installations to see if they will allow you to move your family "onto" the installation prior to have actual orders to that installation. Some will require orders assigning you that installation before allowing you housing and other things. The regualtion states that HAAP's can be changed, do your research..

I believe you are authorized to relocate your family enroute to a hardship tour. Another bonus is upon your return you will be 1 year waiting on the housing list. See your travel section - they will know.

I'm not sure how that works. I'd recommend calling Fort Bragg Post Housing office at: [login to see] , or on line at: http://bragg.corviasmilitaryliving.com/

Personally I prefer to live off post.

This interesting as I am looking at going to Korea for a year unaccompanied also and trying to get a follow on assignment in Fort Campbell.

I've been retired for several years not but I know at least in the AF if you were on a remote with a guaranteed follow on you could move you family in advance of you....but you need to remember even a guaranteed follow on in guaranteed, lot can happen on a short tour.

Thank you everyone for your responses. My findings were that I can move my family on Fort Bragg. I believe this varies post by post. Fort Bragg housing office told me that as long as I participated in the HAAP program and it reflects on my orders. You have to call the advanced assignments housing office. MPD will not be able to tell you if your family can move on post.
The only reason I want my family on post is because it will make it easier on my wife and daughter while I am away for the year.
