Military Family Stability: Report on Reducing Frequency of Service Member Moves.

This Act mandates the Department of Defense to prepare a report analyzing options for reducing the frequency of Permanent Changes of Station (PCS) and sea-shore rotations for service members. The goal is to assess potential cost savings and, crucially, the positive effects of fewer moves on military families, specifically regarding spouse employment and children's education. The report must include recommendations for implementing longer tour lengths to provide greater stability.
