Restructuring Military Education and Training; Lessons from Rand Research
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This report aims to identify promising directions for restructuring programs of military education and training to make them more effective, affordable, and efficient. The document is motivated in part by the Department of Defense's Quadrennial Defense Review, which is examining ways to modernize and improve all DoD programs in light of the sweeping changes that have occurred in the past several years. The report summarizes results and insights from a number of RAND studies that assessed alternative concepts for restructuring military training programs within and across the military services. Most of the research discussed within comes from work conducted in RAND's Arroyo Center, the Army's federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for studies and analysis. However, where appropriate, the report draws upon research conducted in RAND's two other military FFRDCs-the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), which serves the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the defense agencies; and Project AIR FORCE, which serves the Air Force.

Rebuilding the Schoolhouse: Making Army Training More Efficient and Effective
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Competition for scarce resources -- both dollars and soldiers -- has driven the Army to explore ways to reduce the costs and infrastructure needed to conduct military education and training. Resources devoted to military education and training are substantial; in FY00, the Active Component training institutions cost the Army $5.7 billion to run and absorbed 44,500 staff and 74,000 trainee man-years. The Army not only wants to reduce the resources it devotes to the training base, it also seeks to improve the performance of its schools. To achieve these goals, the Army has undertaken various initiatives to restructure and modernize its individual training system, including, for example, establishing the Total Army School System and The Army Distance Learning Program (TADLP). The task is a tough one: improve performance while reducing resources. The range of strategies the Army could pursue complicates the task. Which of them offer the best chance for success? RAND Arroyo Center has examined the Army's recent initiatives along with a number of others, and its analysis suggests that four strategies could help the Army achieve its goal: (1) Integrate Active (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) training institutions, (2) Expand the use of educational technologies in Army schools, (3) Leverage "flexible" distance learning technologies, and (4) Increase the use of the private sector in Army training. (3 figures, 10 refs.).

Book Description
The Army considers modular force transformation its most extensive restructuring since World War II. The Army has estimated that restructuring units from a division-based force to a more agile and responsive modular brigade-based force will require a significant investment through fiscal year 2011. To facilitate this transformation, Public Law No. 109-163 Section 353 directs the Army to develop and implement a training strategy for the modular brigades. This law also directs GAO to report on the implementation of the strategy. This report discusses (1) the extent to which the Army's training strategy addresses the five elements specified in the public law and (2) the actions the Army has taken to implement its training strategy and the implementation challenges it faces. To address these objectives, GAO reviewed Army training strategy documentation and interviewed Army training personnel.
