Summary
- Army Secretary Christine Wormuth suggests exploring greater career flexibility and stability for soldiers and families.
- Ideas include decreasing the frequency of permanent change of station (PCS) moves, modifying officer career timelines, and better matching compensation with responsibilities.
- These changes would require additional resources and cooperation from Congress to address potential recruitment and retention challenges in the future.
- Frequent military moves can present difficulties for families in finding housing, child care, employment opportunities for spouses, and continuity of healthcare.
