Report To The Secretary Of The Army






The Army Needs To Reeva lua te

Its Extended Basic Training Program





In October 1981, the Army extended its basic
training from 7 to 8 weeks. As a result, in
fiscal year 1982 Army will spend nearly $40
million; about 4,400 additional new soldiers,
trainers, and support staff will be assigned to
training rather than to operational units.

Although Army has added more time, it has
never fully determined whether this time is
necessary to correct training problems or
whether less costly alternatives are available.
Equally, if not more important, Army has not
provided the number and quality of trainers
necessary for the new program. Although the
Army has recently initiated action to address
program effectiveness and trainer questions,
GAO is recommending that Army develop
and implement plans to justify its extended
program and resolve these problems.
