The centerpiece of this effort is the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) initiative, which accounts for 84 percent of the $2 billion the department plans to invest by 2011 to provide a persistent global network that will increase the level of joint training. GAO assessed the extent to which (1) JNTC has improved the ability of the services and combatant commands to train jointly, (2) the reserve components are benefiting from the JNTC initiative, and (3) the Joint Forces Command has developed an accreditation process to facilitate program goals. To address these objectives, GAO obtained and analyzed key DOD and JNTC documents. GAO also reviewed and analyzed 5 of 16 events selected in 2005 as JNTC training events, and observed 2 of those events firsthand. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-802/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-802.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-802/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-802.pdf GAO-06-802 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-802 Other Written Product GAO-06-802; Military Training: Management Actions Needed to Enhance DOD's Investment in the Joint National Training Capability; Armed forces reserve training Armed forces reserves Certification and accreditation Evaluation criteria Military training Program evaluation Standards Performance measures Joint forces Program goals or objectives DOD Joint National Training Capability DOD Training Transformation Program
