Military Housing: Costs of Separate Barracks for Male and Female Recruits in Basic Training

Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO determined each military service's costs if required to provide housing for male and female recruits during basic training in separate structures. GAO also: (1) obtained the services' views on housing male and female recruits in separate barracks; and (2) reviewed the services' compliance with the act's requirement to provide separate and secure areas for male and female recruits if they are housed in the same barracks.
