Abstract:

Joint Chiefs of Staff exercises are a primary means for U.S. Forces achieving joint (interservice) and combined (U.S. and allied forces) operations training. They are, therefore, important to the readiness of U.S. Forces and should be continued. The Joint Chiefs of Staff Exercise Program's importance and cost (programed at $148million in fiscal year 1979) dictate effective planning and execution. However, GAO found serious weaknesses in the procedures for developing and executing the Joint Chiefs Exercise Program.
