Will my husband be able to return from Korea for the birth of our baby? Would the military pay for his return?

So my husband ended up leaving for Korea a few days ago, and the day he left we found out that we are expecting a baby. I am curious if anyone knows if he would be able to come back for the birth in April. And how that all would work. Would we need to pay for the flight back out of our own pocket? Or are there options for military flights. If you’ve been through the same circumstances please let me know some advice

We will most likely pay for the flight back. He can do Space A flight out of Osan but there is no guarantee that he will make it back in time if he took that route since he won’t be on the top of the list. I would have him start doing the paperwork now since it’s a hassle to leave with Covid and all.

Chelsea Lee He should check with his CO, 1SG, or Chaplain at his duty station. Congratulations on your family addition.
