Book excerpt: This report aims to identify promising directions for restructuring programs of military education and training to make them more effective, affordable, and efficient. The document is motivated in part by the Department of Defense's Quadrennial Defense Review, which is examining ways to modernize and improve all DoD programs in light of the sweeping changes that have occurred in the past several years. The report summarizes results and insights from a number of RAND studies that assessed alternative concepts for restructuring military training programs within and across the military services. Most of the research discussed within comes from work conducted in RAND's Arroyo Center, the Army's federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for studies and analysis. However, where appropriate, the report draws upon research conducted in RAND's two other military FFRDCs-the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), which serves the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the defense agencies; and Project AIR FORCE, which serves the Air Force.
