Report To The Secretary Of Defense










Management Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff

Exercise Program Has Been Strengthened,

But More Needs To Be Done


The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) exercise program trains U.S.
forces, tests forces' abilities to perform their missions, and
prepares the forces of two or more services for joint opera-
tions. A GAO review of this program in 1979 reported
several management problems that limited the full real-
ization of benefits.

JCS and some military commands have strengthened the
management of the exercise program since 1979. Initi-
atives include centralizing funding under JCS; improving
guidance, evaluations, and lessons-learned systems; and
increasing JCS involvement in the planning, review, and
approval of the program increments developed by the sup-
porting commands.

This report evaluates the major initiatives since GAO's
1979 review and recommends further improvement where
needed. Specifically, GAO recommends that participants
in the exercise program be required to adhere to existing
guidelines; develop more precise exercise requirements
and budgets; and improve the systems for identifying, mon-
itoring, and sharing exercise results.
