Permanent Change of Station
- Permanent Change of Station
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) is a U.S. military term referring to being "permanently" moved to a new post. (Similarly, a PCA is a permanent change of assignment, when the military member is reassigned to a new unit on the same post/installation.) Sometimes people use it as a verb, i.e. We will be "pcsing" to Japan. Given the frequency with which military personnel are moved between stations the word "permanent" may be regarded as a term of art.
