Dear Mr. Secretary:


Subject:


Army's Initiatives to Improve the Skill
Qualification Test Program May Not Achieve
Promised Changes (GAO/FPCD-82-69)


     We are concerned that the Army's initiatives to implement
our recommendations l/ concerning the skill qualification test
(SQT) program may fall short of achieving promised changes.
Our concerns are based on

     --discussions and observations at Army schools and field
       sites which indicated that they continue to develop new
       SOT components, as well as give and score existing tests,
       and

     --the Army's request to reprogram funds to the SQT program
       without justifying that the funds could be used to rede-
       sign and change the program.

OBJECTIVE, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY

    Our objective was to determine whether the Army was changing
the SQT program as it agreed to do in June 1982. We obtained
information on the current status of development and administra-
tion of SQTs during visits to Army schools and field sites. We
made these visits between March and June 1982 at Forts Knox,

  Soldier Proficiency (FPCD-82-28, Mar. 30, 1982).
