PEACE OPERATIONS: Effect of Training, Equipment, and Other Factors on Unit Capability

Abstract

Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. military has become increasingly involved in peace operations. As requested by the former Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, House Committee on Armed Services, GAO examined (1) how the services incorporate peace operations into their various training programs, (2) what effect peace operations have on maintaining combat readiness, and (3) whether the services have the weapon systems and equipment they need for these operations. GAO did not assess whether the United States should participate in peace operations.
