2026 PCS Guide

The MyNavy HR enterprise created the Navy’s Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Guide as a consolidated resource for Sailors and their families to reference when planning their next PCS. This centralized resource consolidates guidance and additional resources for financial considerations, travel arrangements, and administrative requirements into a single, easily accessible publication. By providing consistent and current information, the PCS Guide clarifies and simplifies the relocation process for sailors and their families, ensuring a smooth PCS experience.
