Transportation from Airport to Camp Humphreys
Pets may be allowed to travel on the passenger section of the bus ONLY if they are enclosed in a pet carrier/crate, and if the pet carrier/crate can fit inside the bus (carrier/crate dimension not to exceed 32”L X 21”W X 25”H). If the pet carrier/crate does not fit inside the bus, you must plan and coordinate transportation with your Unit sponsor or a transport service for your pet from the airport to CP Humphreys. Pets are not authorized to ride underneath the bus.
You can schedule transportation of your large pet from Incheon or Osan AB through the 51st FSS Information, Tickets, and Travel Office:

Hotel Accommodations
While staying in lodging, you will have your pet in your room with you. Be sure to plan for food, water, and bathroom breaks.
Installations across Korea have many walking trails and parks that can make for a great way for Soldiers and families to get out and acclimate. This also serves to get your pet acclimated as well. Be sure to clean up after your pet. If you haven’t checked out our traveling with pets page, go here:

Registration
SOFA status personnel are required to register each domestic pet in their possession, at the appropriate Veterinary Treatment Facility, within 10 duty days of arrival on the Korean peninsula or upon the acquisition of the pet. They are also required to notify their installation housing office of their pet ownership within the same time frame.
Registration consists of creating a veterinary treatment record DD Form 2343 (Veterinary Health Record) with proof of rabies virus vaccination and proof of microchip implantation (as applicable). There are three military veterinary clinics on the peninsula where you may register your pet. You must register your pet in-person.
