Adequacy of Safety Procedures at Fort A. P. Hill and National Guard Training Facilities

GAO conducted an investigation into National Guard safety programs because of the deaths of two National Guardsmen which occurred while their units were training at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia. GAO inquired whether the safety procedures were adequate, the extent to which safety procedures were followed and enforced at Fort A. P. Hill, whether any previous accidents involving fatalities or serious injuries had occurred at Fort A. P. Hill, and whether the two deaths might be indicative of safety problems throughout the National Guard.
