The Army Can Better Integrate Manpower, Personnel, and Training into the Weapon Systems Acquisition Process.

Abstract

The Army must effectively integrate manpower, personnel, and training (MPT) needs into its weapon systems acquisition process to ensure that when the weapon systems are deployed, they can be satisfactorily operated and maintained. Many problems in this area identified by the Army in a 1980 study remain. Although the Army has spent considerable effort over the past 4 years identifying MPT problems and studying methodologies for improvement, it has lacked a comprehensive Army-wide plan for resolving the problems.
