What is NOT a type of sponsorship in the Army?

Placement sponsorship is not a recognized type of sponsorship in the Army. In the context of Army sponsorship programs, various types of sponsorship exist to ensure that soldiers and their families have the support they need during transitions, such as moving to a new duty station.

Advanced arrival sponsorship refers to preparations and support provided before a soldier arrives at a new location, ensuring they have crucial information and resources ready when they get there. Out-sponsorship involves helping a soldier who is leaving an installation, ensuring a smooth transition to their next location or assignment. Reactionary sponsorship focuses on immediate assistance provided to soldiers and their families in unexpected situations, such as emergencies or urgent relocations.

While placement might suggest a type of assistance given during duty assignments, it does not align with the structured types of sponsorship recognized by the Army. Understanding these sponsorship types highlights the importance of support systems in facilitating seamless transitions for soldiers and their families.
