I am on Orders for 8th Army Mission support Element, and have no idea what that unit entails, I have never been in a TDA unit. I am an Electronic Warfare NCO and curious what their job is in that unit. I did look up the personnel allocation for them, and did not see a spot for EW. But any info anyone can provide about the EW role or the unit in general, I would be very grateful!

Ya I have, just didn't see the 29E/17E slot in the FMSweb site. So I wasn't sure what I am assigned too. The UIC is 8TH Army MSE, but not EW slot shown.

SSG (Join to see) Bear in mind an MSE is likely to have subordinate, disparately located detachments..

That's what I am thinking. Guess I'll just be patient and wait to see what happens. I just like to have my ducks in a row prior to going. Over all I am excited.

Also remember 17E is getting pushed to places is previously wasn’t so you may be one of the first of your MOS in that position

Yes I have. Nothing much online other than PR stuff. I just want to be able to talk to someone who was or is stationed at the unit.

Haven't been contacted by one yet. I think I'll email the POC for the sponsor program if I don't get one assigned soonish.

That could be almost anything. 8th Army has the replacement center, everything in Yongsan, Honor Guard, etc.

99% of the people go thru the replacement center and only find out then (usually in the first 24 hours) where they will actually be assigned. Your orders could say 8th Army but that could include Camp Humphreys or even 2nd ID.
