BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


The Army Needs To Improve Individual

Soldier Training In Its Units





Soldiers are not being trained in all the tasks
the Army considers critical for proper job per-                     114838
formance and survival in combat. As a result
many soldiers cannot perform to the stand-
ards prescribed by Army criteria.

The Army has taken steps to improve train-
ing; however, additional initiatives are needed.
As near-term option, the Army can strengthen
individual skill training programs at the unit
level to insure that soldiers receive essential
training. GAO recommends several actions
which can be taken to enhance these programs,
including strengthening its management over-
sight of individual skill training.

Because of the extensive training problems
at the unit level, GAO believes the Army also
needs to determine if soldiers should be pro-
vided more skill training prior to their being
assigned to a unit.
