Welcome and In Processing

All newly arrived DoD members must report to their squadron Commander Support Staff (CSS) within 24 hours (1 duty day) of arrival in country. They will provide in-processing checklists and agendas to guide you through your first few days in the Land of the Morning Calm.
Life on the Korean Peninsula requires members to be prepared in the event of an emergency. All military members with dependents and all US civilians assigned to Kunsan are required to maintain a Noncombatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) binder in the event of a non-combatant evacuation. Additionally, all members are required to check out individual protective equipment (IPE) for themselves and their dependents upon arrival. You will receive additional information from your CSS and Unit NEO Warden to complete these processes during check-in.
We encourage you to visit the CAC-enabled 8FW SharePoint and familiarize yourself with the community standards and other wing policies.

In-Processing Information Fair: As part of a new initiative from the Wing’s In/Out-processing Team, the new In-Processing Information Fair is designed to streamline in-processing by providing resources and information to newly arriving Airmen. Representatives from base-level agencies such as Finance, Medical, Housing/ADL, Military Personnel Flight (MPF), and IPE will be available to schedule appointments, assist with issues and concerns and answer basic questions.

   2. Days 2:
      1. Mission Readiness Training: Upon arrival, all personnel will complete Kunsan’s Contingency Operations training to be prepared to operate in a contested environment specific to the Korean Peninsula. Furthermore, to enhance the Wolf Pack’s ability to Defend the Base, all 8 FW personnel will accomplish Kunsan Air Base Ground Defense Training on the second and third day of KRO. This training is the baseline requirement for personnel to accomplish General Arming in contingency operations and successfully execute the Wolf Pack mission. It is a building block for further defense training and activities across the installation.
      2. General Arming: All 8 FW personnel have the responsibility to arm when Kunsan AB faces threats or is operating in a contested environment. In addition to KRO training, unit commanders are responsible for ensuring their personnel meet arming requirements as outlined in DAFI 31-117. Additionally, unit commanders are responsible for ensuring they have a General Arming unit program manager who will be responsible for the administrative paperwork, tracking, and training of personnel within their units. 8 SFS will assist units by using the “train the trainer” method and provide opportunities for additional training as the opportunities arise.
