Do dual military couple get bah for overseas rotation?

Hi. Currently my husband and I are in the same unit.
I heard we are going to Korea next year for 5 or 9 months.
Both of us are getting non dependent rate bah right now.
I was wonder if we are still getting bah when we are in Korea because I'm sure they will put us in the barrack since it's just gonna be a short rotation. Should we cancel the lease when the time comes? Or are we still able to get bah? Thank you!

As of what I’ve seen back in 2015-2016, both of you will get BAH.

The Army can't pull you out of your homes just because you're on a rotation. As long as you are receiving BAH now you should continue to receive BAH during your rotation. You can cancel your lease if you want to save money, but you won't be authorized to move into the barracks, and you'll want a home to walk into the day you return from your rotation

Is this a PCS or a deployment? Big difference.

My husband and I are currently on rotation in Korea and we still receive BAH. We just don’t receive BAS.

I would cancel the lease so that you can pocket the money while you’re out there
