Should be your sponsor. I just got assigned as a sponsor for an incoming SSG to my unit. He told me he needed me to fill in his 5434 on ACT but that's the first time I've ever seen anything like that done with PCS. I didn't use ACT when I PCSed here.

If you don't have a sponsor your next unit is failing you because you're supposed to get assigned a sponsor. My person isn't reporting until July and I got notified a month ago and they are reporting early.

Normally it would be the unit administrator.

You do not contact your sponsor (unless you personally know them) because the gaining unit's TASP (Total Army Sponsorship Program) Coordinator is the one assigning your sponsor, now he/she will get an email saying fill out the Section 3 of the 5434. But You will also have to go to https://actnow.army.mil and fill out everything without leaving a blank space meaning put N/A or None in the rest of the blank spaces or else it wont count as completed.
