What is the Stabilization policy?
The Stabilization policy authorizes a 90-day period of stabilization prior to PCS upon redeployment because of the rotational demands on the force. Upon PCSing to a new duty station the period of stabilization will commence on the date the Soldier arrives at his/her new permanent duty station (PDS). The period of stabilization from operational deployments applies to the following Soldiers: • Soldiers returning from temporary duty (TDY) or temporary change of station (TCS) away from their PDS as part of an operational deployment. • Soldiers returning from a completed dependent-restricted overseas tour.
