Budget Activity 3 – Training and Recruiting consists of three activity groups: Accession Training, Basic Skills and Advanced
Training, and Recruiting and Other Training and Education. Funding in this budget activity provides:
• Accession training operations to produce the enlisted and officer personnel needed to meet total force requirements.
• Officer accessions receive indoctrination training through the United States Military Academy, U.S. Military Academy
Preparatory School, and the Officer Candidate School.
• Specialized skill, flight training, professional development education, and training support.
• Recruiting and advertising programs needed to fulfill the Army personnel requirements.
• Civilian education and training, tuition assistance for active duty personnel, and the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.
Major program highlights include:
The FY 2008 budget reflects a program increase for Accession Training ($116.8 million).
To meet Army accession requirements for the Active, National Guard, and Reserve officers, the Senior Reserve Officer
Training Corps program will increase and provide an additional 4,587 Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (SROTC)
scholarships and additional incentives such as completion bonuses and stipends.
The FY 2008 budget reflects program increases for Basic Skills and Advanced Training ($355.8 million).
Funding for training support provides administrative and logistics infrastructure to operate the Army's training centers and
schools which provide training to incoming recruits.
Increased funding for Flight Training will provide for additional seats for the underwater egress training and new aircraft
qualification courses as the Army transitions to the CH-47F and UH-60M model aircraft.
