MILITARY PERSONNEL: Joint Officer Development Has Improved, but a Strategic Approach Is Needed

Abstract

DOD has increasingly engaged in multiservice and multinational operations.

GAO assessed DOD actions to implement provisions in the law that address the development of officers in joint matters and evaluated impediments affecting DODs ability to fully respond to the provisions in the act.
