The Army is still on track to boost readiness by 2022, but there are still challenges related to modernization, according to a new Government Accountability Office report, Army Technology reported.
The Feb. 6 report was a progress update on 44 recommendations GAO has made since 2016.
“While the Army continues to make progress, it faces challenges in staffing its evolving force structure, repairing and modernizing its equipment, and training its forces for potential large-scale conflicts,” the study said.
Among the outstanding challenges cited in the report are “missed recruiting targets” and “applying leading practices for technology development.”
