What does 'inplace' refer to regarding COT types?

The term 'inplace' regarding COT (Convalescent Leave and Temporary duty) types specifically refers to a second tour at the same permanent duty station. This means that a service member remains at their current location for an additional period rather than moving to a new station or taking on a different assignment. This can be beneficial for service members who wish to continue their work in a familiar environment, allowing them to build upon their established relationships and expertise within that unit.

In contrast, the other options describe scenarios involving relocation or advancement that do not align with the concept of 'inplace,' which distinctly involves remaining at the same duty location.
