Summary:

This testimony evaluates personnel readiness in the Army's five later-deploying divisions, which constitute nearly half of the Army's active combat forces and, according to Army officials, are critical to the success of specific war plans and the national military strategy. GAO summarizes its preliminary observations on personnel readiness in the later-deploying divisions. GAO describes in greater detail the (1) extent of personnel shortages in the divisions and the extent to which these shortages are reflected in readiness reports, (2) key factors contributing to personnel shortages and the impact such shortages have on readiness, (3) Army's plans for correcting such shortages should these divisions be called upon to deploy, and (4) issues to be considered in dealing with personnel shortages.
