    The Honorable Les Aspin
C' House of Representatives

    Dear Mr. Aspin:

         In your letter of June 26, 1973, you asked us to
    investigate the sma       p   oir.W) camp at the
    Air Force Academy and other similar camps operated by the
  /military services.
         Enclosed are fact sheets showing the information you
    requested on locations, costs, and curriculums of these
    camps. To answer your questions, we obtained information
    from the services and visited the Air Force Academy; how-
    ever, we did not independently verify this information.
    Because Army training is highly decentralized, most of the
    requested information was not readily available; however,
    we have shown the locations of Army training camps.

         Except for the Marine Corps, each service operates
    simulated POW camps as art ofsurv           i raei        nce,
    and escape (SR     trainrngo. This training is authorized by
    Department of Defense Directive 1300.7 dated July 8, 1964.
    Although the directive does not indicate that a simulated
    POW facility should be used, it does require uniform SERE
    training. We noted that no one at the Office of the
    Secretary of Defense or service headquarters monitored the
    training to insure uniformity.
         We trust this information satisfies your request.

                                  Sincerely yours,




                                  Comptroller General
                                  of the United States

    Enclosure
