Quantifying the Impact of the Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Budget on Navy Enlisted Personnel Unit Readiness

Abstract

The navy spends over $600 million annually to move its active duty personnel. This report describes a model that relates permanent change of station (PCS) moves to personnel readiness. To support this model, a readiness measure which can distinguish among small differences in manning levels was developed. Using a hypothetical PCS move plan for a 5-month time horizon we show the effect of a reduced moving budget. The current move plan is for 17,300 moves while the reduced budget plan calls for 14,495 moves. The reduction in moves translates to a drop in readiness from 1.85 to 2.30.
