Definition

PCS season refers to the spring and summer months — typically May through August — when the majority of military permanent change of station moves are executed. Military families traditionally prefer summer moves to minimize school disruptions for children, and the services concentrate many assignment changes in this window. PCS season transforms military communities: neighborhoods turn over, schools see new faces, units absorb hundreds of new personnel.
