Military Training: Navy and Air Force Need to More Fully Apply Best Practices to Enhance Development and Management of Combat Skills Training

Abstract

The services have several options for increasing the combat skills of their personnel throughout a military career. They can utilize basic military training, foundational skills training, or predeployment training. Servicemembers attend basic military training after joining a service, and attend foundational training once they are assigned a military occupation, prior to arrival at their first permanent military duty station. Prior to deploying in support of a military operation, servicemembers attend predeployment training.
