Abstract

Our analysis of Department of Defense (DOD) and military service data shows that 752 active duty military personnel died while engaging in peacetime training during fiscal years 1988 through 1991. These fatalities, representing 19 percent of all accidental deaths in the services during those years, resulted from various circumstances; however, 484 (about 64 percent of the training deaths) were related to aviation mishaps.
