This document contains the oral and written statements of persons whose testimony was presented before a Congressional hearing on training lessons learned from recent military conflicts. Principal witness was Mark E. Gebicke, Director of Military Operations and Capabilities Issues, National Security and International Affairs Division, U.S. General Accounting Office. The testimony stated the following: (1) training of Active Duty forces is a never-ending process; (2) joint training and operations are receiving increasing emphasis; (3) simulation technology offers significant new ways to enhance training; (4) determining the right amount to spend on training is much more complex than it seems; and (5) training of Reserve component combat forces, particularly in the Army, poses a much greater challenge than the training of Active Duty forces. All of these issues are interrelated. (KC)
