The Total Army School System: Recommendations for Future Policy

Abstract

The United States Army operates an extensive system of schools and centers that provide military education and training to soldiers in the Active Component and the two Reserve Components, the U.S. Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve. This system includes Reserve Component (RC) training institutions that provide reclassification training for enlisted personnel who change military occupational specialties and leader training for both commissioned and noncommissioned officers. As the result of an assessment conducted in the early 1990s, the Army and other agencies concluded that the Reserve Component training system was inefficient and difficult to manage and that the quality of training was inconsistent. Concurrently, defense downsizing and resource reductions were making it necessary to shrink the training infrastructure and reduce training costs.
