AND READINESS DIVISION B-209426 JANUARY 27, 1983 The Honorable John 0. Marsh, Jr. The Secretary of the Army Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: Survey of the Potential for Better Use of Army Equipment for Training (GAO/PLRD-83-30) 120442 We have completed a survey to assess the potential for better use of Army equipment for training. Our principal objectives were to determine if opportunities existed for greater sharing of equipment among and between the Active and Reserve components, whether the total amount of equipment needed for training could be reduced, and whether the equipment thus freed could be stored and maintained in a higher readiness state. We did our work at Headquarters, Department of the Army, Washington, D.C; Headquarters, U.S. Army Forces Command, Fort McPherson, Georgia; and various Active, Reserve, and Guard com- mands and units located within both First and Fifth U.S. Army boundaries. We made this review in accordance with generally accepted government audit standards. Our survey work did not indicate that Army components bad more equipment than they needed for training. However, we be- lieve that through increased equipment sharing, the equipment available for training purposes can be used more efficiently. Fxisting Army policies and incentives are designed to en- courage unit commanders to make their equipment available to others who need it, and the Army has implemented programs which increase equipment sharing and improve training efficiency. For example, we found that equipment is routinely shared by units assigned to Army Reserve Equipment Concertration Sites and Army National Guard Mobilization and Training Equipment Sites and that there is an ongoing Army programi to place many of these equipment sites closer to units' mobilization and training sites.
