USFK is aware of the Department of the Army's order to stop movement for all Army Soldiers and family members moving to or from South Korea or Soldiers scheduled to attend professional military education in the United States due to COVID-19 concerns. USFK is analyzing the impacts this decision will have on those affected but currently only applies only to 8th Army Soldiers currently on permanent change of station orders or attending PME. The Army's order is in effect immediately through May 6, 2020 or until further notice.

If this applies to you, immediately contact your chain of command for further instructions.

USFK and 8th Army will identify and work with all Soldiers and families affected, especially those who have already had their furniture and vehicles packed and shipped, to minimize and lessen the impacts on their well-being. The health and welfare of our service members and their families continues to be our top priority.
