Basic elements of this analysis include considerations associated with various tour lengths; evaluation of impact on combat readiness with emphasis on turbulence, training, indiscipline, time in service, time in command, remaining service at final assignment; evaluation of costs (dollars, PCS moves and Individuals Account), and other nonquantifiable considerations, i.e., morale, job satisfaction, etc.
