There is an option on "Human Resources", called "Officer Placement" -it's the third option- (or Positioning, I can't remember very well since I play the game on Spanish), which lets you move officers between your territories. You can move as many as you want.

As explained, there is an option to apoint officers to be your generals, strategists and so on, this is important since their troop count will improve.

To move officers, you have 2 ways: There is an option to move them on the policies, it will take one turn, but you can move everyone, including yourself, around. The other option is during the council day (each 6 months), there will be a Start Button sign, so you press it. It's the same option, and it won't waste a turn, but you can't move yourself.
