Defense Infrastructure: Central Training Funding Projected to Remain Stable During 1997-2003

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) central training activities, focusing on: (1) trends in central training funding and causes for those trends; (2) DOD's initiatives to reduce central training funding requirements or improve the effectiveness and efficiency of central training programs; and (3) DOD's management of those initiatives. GAO did not validate the services' explanations for those trends, nor did GAO compare trends across the services.
