Report To The Secretary Of The Army








The Army Needs To Modify

Its System For Measuring

Individual Soldier Proficiency



The Army does not have an effective system
fo measuring individual training effectiveness
and individual soldier proficiency in critical
jot ? tasks. Yet, more than $25 million is spent
annually to develop, print, distribute, and
score hundreds of skill qualification tests. In
addition, unknown costs are incurred each
year to administer the tests.

GAO recommends several actions which can
be taken to develop a less complex, less costly,
anJ more effective system for measuring indi-
vidual soldier proficiency and training needs.
The Army agrees with the need to modify the
program in a manner closely parallel to GAO's
recommendations.
