Can I get stationed in Vilseck, Germany if I do command sponsorship through my wife while I'm in Fort Bragg, NC?

I am currently married to someone overseas. She is currently serving 3 more years oconus. I am doing an airborne contract having only 3 years left as well. Could she do command sponsorship and have me be stationed with her or would I have to stay conus since I have to finish my airborne contract? I tried reading about this in the ar and I could not find any information on this dual military couple. Or if someone has a contact email or number they can reference to me would be appreciated.

Command sponsorship is for dependents, it's the process of getting your civilian dependents authorized to go with you to an OCONUS assignment.
If you're active duty you have to reenlist to move. There is a small contingent of Airborne 11B in the 1-91 Cav in Graf. You can reenlist to move to another location before your three years of airborne is finished, if you're reenlisting to go to another airborne unit. Otherwise, you can both finish your three years and move somewhere else together.

Would I have to reenlist 15 months prior to my ets date or can I reenlist even more earlier than that? I signed a 4 year enlistment contract on January 2021.

SGT (Join to see) it's whatever the Army announces that fiscal year. Your fiscal year ETS is FY25, so at the beginning of FY24 (1 October 2023) the Army will announce its reenlistment window for that year.

If she is also in the army you can apply for MACP. Then you can apply for joint domicile and a compassionate reassignment. However the remainder of your airborne contract may need it be completed. You can request the reassignment to an airborne unit there or try to somehow end your airborne time, but that would probably be difficult.

However you have to have a certain amount of time on station before they would consider letting you move.
