Hi, I recently pcsed from area 1 in korea back to the US. I was married in korea and never applied for or received command sponsorship. I also flew my spouse and child to the states on my own dime and received only unaccompanied HHG shipment. I cannot find any info on the definition of accompanied/unaccompanied tour in korea. I'm trying to figure out if I will receive dwell time starting from the date i left korea or if i do not fall into that category since my family was technically there but the army didn't recognize them as being there. Is area 1 even considered a dependant restricted tour still? I don't recall whether it was or not but i know soldiers applying for CP had to sign waivers because not all services are available there. Thanks for your help.
you dont get dwell time for korea. only combat tours. i did a 12 month non com tour to korea, and deployed 2 weeks after reporting to my new station. you just wont go on another hardship tour for a while.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy An Diabhal prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Defenition of "Dwell Time" according to AR 614-200 page 115:
Dwell time The time a Soldier spends at home station between combat deployments, operational deployment (noncombat), or dependent restricted tour . The addition of these service types does not change the long and short tour policies in any way.
Non-Command Sponsored tours regardless of area in Korea are dependent restricted tours.
Dwell time is to reset to zero upon arrival to Korea on a dependent restricted tour.

If you were 1 year in Korea, non CP you get 6 months of dwell time...you will see that on your ERB (on the dwell time portion), as soon as you are inproccesing to your next duty station. Been there, done that.

My son just got back from Camp Humphreys South Korea on Halloween after being deployed for a year. He is home for a week and then has orders to go to Fort Leavenworth. I am curious as to how much dwell time, if any , he accrued in the past year?

One year in Korea (unaccompanied) will give him 6 months of Dwell time.
