Can I get a COT as part of my re enlistment?

I am currently stationed in Germany and want to submit a COT to stay here for another tour. My contract is 3 years and I will ets from Germany soon otherwise. Will I have to re enlist and then hope for a COT position to open or can I get the COT as part of my new re enlistment contract?

I do not believe you can COT at the same location. SFC Private RallyPoint Member

Sounds like a conversation to have with your retention NCO

No COT required, you just reenlist for the location you want if you want to move somewhere within Europe. HRC will approve or deny it.

If you wanted to stay where you are you could reenlist for stabilization if the strengths support it, or you can submit an IPCOT and if it’s approved you reenlist and stay there for another three years.
