Military Personnel Reassignments. Services are Exploring Opportunities to Reduce Relocation Costs.

Abstract

In fiscal year 1995, the military services spent $2.9 billion to move nearly 850,000 servicemembers and their families. General Accounting Office (GAO) reviewed the services practices for relocating personnel. GAO's objectives were to determine whether (1) opportunities exist to reduce the costs of permanent change-of-station moves, (2) the number of moves and related costs have decreased in proportion to the reductions in military end strengths, and (3) frequent reassignments significantly impair military readiness.
