Report To The Secretary Of The Army









Improvements Needed In The Army's Program

For Developing Extension Training Materials

For Use By Soldiers In Field Units


The Army has about 16,000 different training mate-
rials--such as soldiers manuals and audio-visual
materials--and plans to add about 24,500 more train-
ing items and several thousand video-disc systems
to provide training in field units. Because these
naterials will cost millions of dollars, GAO reviewed
1he Army process for determining its training mate-
ial needs and its justification for the new video-disc
System.

3AO found that the Army had not established accept-
able usage levels for its training materials, had not
)btained field unit input on unit needs for training
naterials, and had not identified the usage and effec-
iveness of individual training materials. Also, the
rmy has not sufficiently demonstrated its need for
he large numbers of video-disc equipment it plans
oacquire for use in the field. GAO recommends that
he Army (1) take several actions to improve its
Seeds determination process for training materials
and (2) further evaluate the planned video-disc sys-
em procurement.
