As a dual-military couple, who are in different branches, what can we do to help facilitate getting stationed together?

So in less than a week, I am getting married. My spouse is Space Force and myself Army. We're both currently stationed in Germany but quickly coming up on DEROS. Neither of us have orders yet though. I understand there is no program to keep dual mil from separate branches together. I have tried contacting the branch manager for 68W E-5s by calling, but have not been able to get through to them. I have left a voice-mail but still no returned call. HRC's website says that branch manager slot is vacant and only list a number and no email address, so not able to send an email. I was just wondering, what can I do to hopefully make the chance more likely for us to get stationed together or close together for our next assignment. Thanks in advance for any advice!

If you can't get a hold of anyone because there is no one, then perhaps your future spouse may have better luck trying to get in touch with someone. However, I would venture a strong guess that the odds are not in y'alls favor.

You aren't able to get hold of anyone because they are still teleworking so don't expect a return call soon. Instead you need to email the SSG 68W assignment manager or PDNCO and possibly the branch chief which is a SGM. At the same time your spouse needs to email her assignment detailer. Space Force has only a very few locations, most of which are nowhere near any Army bases. Basically you're looking to go to Carson and have her go to Peterson.
