Application FAQs
What documents are needed to apply?
Please provide a DD Form 1172 and Soldier Talent Profile, or a copy of orders assigning the service member to Fort Carson.
Where do I find the DD 1172-2?
The DD 1172-2 Form can be found online on the ID Card Office Online website (https://idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco/). The service member will need to use their CAC card to view the form. The spouse may obtain it by going to the DEERS office but must have POA (Power of Attorney).
What if I do not have POA and my spouse is overseas/ away for training?
Contact your S1, Commander or Rear Detachment Commander.
