Substitution, Permanent Change of Station and Training Cost Comparison in Marine Corps Officer Assignments: A Prototype Study

A Cost formulation method is introduced in this study that helps to make comparisons among these three costs. The comparison is carried out for a segment of the Marine Corps that includes only Armor and Artillery officers and billets coded for them.
