Statement of Robert F. Hale, Assistant Director, National Security Division, Congressional Budget Office

Abstract

Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to appear before your Subcommittee today to discuss the analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) of the different programs that the military services use to train commissioned officers. My testimony today will be confined to the services' three principal programs for training officers (other than specialists, such as medical and legal officers). The three programs are the service academies, the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), and officer candidate or officer training schools (OCS/OTS). After presenting some background on commissioning programs for officers, my testimony will address three main issues: (1) Service needs for new officers, (2) Costs of various commissioning programs, and(3) Measurable differences in the performance of officers from the commissioning programs.
