Is there a time frame on how long the Army has to station you and your spouse together once you enroll into Macp?

If this is like the AF Join Spouse program, it depends on the needs of the service and there are no guarantees.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member - Lt Col Charlie Brown is correct. There is no minimum, or maximum, time frame. MACP is a voluntary program for both Soldiers and the Service. MACP is not a guarantee that you will be assigned together, but a consideration for future assignments. This should have been part a brief you should have received when applying to MACP (or they should've pointed to the regulation).

There is no time frame or requirement to station a couple together. MACP affects future assignments. Once you've got a year on station you can request to move, HRC allows various exceptions for movement rules for MACP, but I wouldn't expect HRC to move one of you two to the other. More likely one of you comes into their reenlistment window and requests a duty station and HRC moves the two of you together.
