April 3, 1978. 2 pp. Report to Secretary. Department of the army; by H. L. Krieger, Director* Federal Personnel and Compensation Div. Issue Area: Federal Personnel lanagement and Compensation: lilitary Skill Training at Lowest Cost (314). Contact: Federal Personnel and Coapsasation Div. Budget Function: National Defense: Department of Defense - Hilitary (except procurement G contracts) (051). Congresional Relevance: House Committee on JAmed Services; Senate Committee on Armed Services. The Congress directed the Army to conduct a test comparing one station unit traiuine (OS9) with two station training to determine whether two statio traiing could produce qualified soldiers as economically as OST?. The Aray designed a test* scheduled to begin late in 1978, which would compare a 12-week OSOT program *th a 13-week two station program to train infantrymen. The course of instruction for the two station program contains 38 more hours than tke 050T program. The difference between the length of the two programs automatically introduces a cost bL~s in favor of OSOT. I mcre useful test and one more in consonance with congressional intent would be a comparison of the 12-week OSUT program with a program of equal length xt two stations. The Secretary of the Army should redesigi the test to compare similar programs of equal length. (US)
