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. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-936/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-936.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-936/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-936.pdf GAO-07-936 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-936 Other Written Product GAO-07-936; Military Training: Actions Needed to More Fully Develop the Army's Strategy for Training Modular Brigades and Address Implementation Challenges; Armed forces reserve training Army personnel Cost analysis Defense capabilities Military forces Military training Performance measures Strategic forces Strategic planning Training utilization Program implementation Program goals or objectives Public Law 109-163
