The Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report titled “Military Readiness: Improvement in Some Areas, but Sustainment and Other Challenges Persist”. The report found that the Department of Defense (DOD) has made progress in improving military readiness in certain areas, such as pilot training and equipment maintenance. However, the DOD still faces challenges in sustaining these improvements and addressing other readiness issues, such as personnel shortages and outdated infrastructure. The report recommended that the DOD develop a comprehensive readiness strategy and improve its data collection and reporting to better assess and address readiness issues.
