I signed at 3 yr contract to Ft Stewart but i haven’t seen my orders yet. I’m currently in Hawaii and my DEROS is Jan 24 2020 but my report date isn’t until March 20 2020. I would like to go to Ft Carson. Is it too late to change with my DEROS being so soon & I’m already on orders.

Yes, but in order to do it you will have to delete your current assignment through your Career Counselor and then work with your branch for a new assignment.
You're not eligible to renegotiate your contract, and once your assignment is deleted, you are at the mercy of your branch. So, contact your branch to ask where they are willing to assign you before you delete your assignment. This close to your DEROS your options will be limited and they could just put you back on assignment to Stewart.

Take it up with your 1SG in the first instance and keep running it up the chain until you either get a new set of orders or you get a firm "no."
At the firm "no" see the IG.

For clarity, the only reason I said see the IG is because sending you to Ft Carson would be a breach of contract by the Army. Your contract says you go to Ft Stewart. If they send you anywhere else they've broken the contract. The IG can fix this sort of thing when BN Commanders would find it hard because it comes down to a failure to follow protocol. Your branch manager may have jumped the gun by putting you on assignment before you re-enlisted. Now his butt will be in a crack because the army promised you one thing and he promised Ft Carson something else. This is his problem, not yours.
Be prepared to do some shuffling. MTOE's have been set and are not easily re-arranged. You may find that you have to PCS to Ft Carson in the first instance only to come down on orders for Ft Stewart a week or a month later. Poop runs down hill. Be ready for that.
