Individual services direct some topics, and some are stipulated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). DoD has identified a need to reduce cyclic mandatory training requirements (especially for the RCs), thus reducing the training burden on the services and making the most of available training time. The RAND National Defense Research Institute was asked to examine the services' mandatory military training requirements and examine options to standardize requirements and reduce the training burden. This report responds to that request by providing a common definition of GMT and examining both the guidance that directs GMT completion and the services' approaches to conducting GMT. The authors identified GMT requirements directed by law and policy and interviewed service AC and RC subject-matter experts. 606 $aMilitary education$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary readiness 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aMilitary Science - General$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xTraining of 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xVocational guidance 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xOperational readiness 615 0$aMilitary education 615 0$aMilitary readiness. 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aMilitary Science - General 700 $aYardley$b Roland J$01047979 702 $aIp$b Cesse 702 $aSollinger$b Jerry M 702 $aWoods$b Dulani 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 712 02$aRand Corporation 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220156103321 996 $aGeneral military training : standardization and reduction options$92880005 997 $aUNINA
