What should I do if I am less than 20 days away from my report day to Korea and still don’t have orders?

How does someone have a report date without orders?

I wouldn't worry. If you have no orders, you have no report date. I came down on orders literally six months before I had to go and I wouldn't have even thought I was going to Korea if the orders had never come to me.

You might have assignment instructions but if you’re orders don’t get cut, you aren’t going anywhere. You have to get with your S1 to get all the paperwork to include your levy brief.

Talk with your S-1. If they don't have a good answer, then start up the chain of command. I expect there is an Army directive covering such PCS moves with performance standards for the orders-issuing agencies. It looks like you're in a short-notice situation. If this puts an undue hardship on you and your family, you can request an extension to your report-no-later-than date. Also, if you have a sponsor at your gaining command, let them know.
