What is the most common form of military move?

The most common form of military move is a Partial DITY (Do-It-Yourself) move. This option allows military personnel to take control of some of their moving process while still receiving reimbursement from the government for certain expenses.

A Partial DITY move provides service members the flexibility and control over their belongings, as they can choose to move their household goods themselves or with the help of hired movers for part of the relocation. This is popular among those who prefer to manage their move directly, perhaps to save costs or accommodate specific needs.

In contrast, a Full DITY move involves the service member moving all their goods entirely by themselves, which is less common due to the significant effort and responsibility involved in coordinating the entire transit and associated logistics. A Standard military move, often arranged by the government, involves the military handling the entire relocation process, which can be less flexible for members. Government-arranged moves are also popular but may not offer the personalized control over the process that a Partial DITY move affords.
