Why do my PCS orders to Korea say 8TH Personnel Command when I am supposed to go to Camp Humphreys (to 2nd CAB)?

Everyone reports to 8th Personnel Command (Inprocessing Main Unit) before arriving to their designated unit. Sometimes the original orders change depending on needs of the Army.

once you inprocess in yongsan they will give you new orders there. im not sure how senior enlisted get to their new station but us as lower enlisted took our things and were bussed to new duty station where we were received and processed further there locally.

All inbound Korea assigned Soldiers must come to the 19th PC in Yongsan Garrison to inprocess and get their pinpoint orders to Camp Humphreys.

Replacement Detachment, similar thing happens in Germany (21st Replacement). You go to 8th Replacement, inprocess, mandatory in country training, then your unit has to come get you. If there is an immediate need of another unit that is higher priority, they can reassign you. The more senior you are the less likely that is to happen.

I left the unit 45 days ago. My orders never said 2CAB but I ended up there. You'll know your final destination once you in-process Yonsan. Good luck.
