 <title>Military Education: DOD Needs to Align Academy Preparatory Schools&apos; Mission Statements with Overall Guidance and Establish Performance Goals</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Each year, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy,
and the U.S. Naval Academy combined spend tens of millions of	 
dollars to operate preparatory schools that provide an		 
alternative avenue for about 700 students annually to gain	 
admission to the service academies. Service academy officials	 
screen all applicants to identify those who they believe could	 
succeed at the academies but who would benefit from more	 
preparation. The Department of Defense (DOD) pays the full cost  
of providing this preparation. GAO was asked to review the three 
service academy preparatory schools, and this report specifically
assesses (1) the adequacy of their current mission statements,	 
(2) the effectiveness of these schools in accomplishing their	 
missions, and (3) the effectiveness of DOD oversight of these	 
schools.</abstract>
