Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Efficiency Of Reserve And Guard Training

Has Improved Since 1974, But

More Can Be Done


Because of DOD's Total Force policy, it is
critical to the security of the United States
that Selected Reserve units be ready to per-
form assigned missions in the event of war
or national emergency. GAO recently ques-
tioned the ability of these units to perform
because of their critical manpower weak-
nesses. Two of these weaknesses are the
shortage of qualified people and high turnover
rates.

In GAO's opinion the use of training time
directly affects Reserves' qualifications, per-
sonnel shortages, high turnover rates, and
readiness. This report points out that, com-
pared to conditions in 1974, Selected reserv-
ists' idleness during training time has signifi-
cantly decreased. However, time spent on
general military training and administrative
duties has increased; time spent on training
for their official military jobs has not.


Until DOD makes substantive changes in how
training time is spent, it is unlikely that condi-
tions will improve. This report recommends
such changes.
