Abstract	Training of active duty forces is a never-ending process beset with challenges and lessons. Despite the widely shared view that today's military forces are the best trained forces in the world, some common recurring weaknesses reinforce the need for a continuing emphasis on repetitive training if U.S. forces are to be prepared to fight and win the first battle of the next war and minimize casualties. Although major efforts have been initiated to address some long-standing gaps in joint training, many actions have yet to be completed. Simulation technology offers important potential for enhancing training at reduced costs, but the most appropriate mix of simulation and more traditional training needs to be better defined. Preserving adequate funding for training is essential but articulating precisely how much is needed is difficult. The training of reserve combat forces poses even greater challenges than those faced by the active forces. (A list of 20 General Accounting Office reports related to training is appended.) (YLB)
