Book excerpt: As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance unit readiness while reducing infrastructure and costs, the U.S. Army has taken steps to consolidate its complex system of schools and training centers and to improve training standards. A major objective of this educational reform process is to establish a Total Army School System (TASS) with fully accredited and integrated schools that provide standard, high-quality training and education for all components of the Army, both active (AC) and reserve (RC). Given the magnitude of the changes implied in this restructuring ini- tiative, the Army asked RAND's Arroyo Center to assess the performance and efficiency of the existing Army school system, including a prototype regional system of RC schools. The results of this assessment are presented in TJ%e Total Anny School Syste%n: Recommendations for Future Policy.' Arroyo researchers conclude that while the Army is moving in the right direction with the new RC proto- type, even greater improvements can be achieved in the performance and efficiency of the Army school system as a whole.
