Management Advisory: Army’s Future Soldier Preparatory Course Places Trainees at Increased Risk of Adverse Health Effects (Report No. DODIG-2025-069)

Evaluation

This final management advisory identifies concerns found during the DoD Office of Inspector General’s (DoD OIG) review of the Army’s Future Soldier Preparatory Course (FSPC). We previously provided copies of the draft management advisory and requested written comments on the recommendations. We considered management’s comments on the draft management advisory when preparing the final advisory. These comments are included in the advisory.

 

This advisory contains one recommendation that is considered resolved and three recommendations that are considered unresolved because the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) (ASA[M&RA]) did not agree or did not fully address the recommendations. Therefore, these recommendations remain open. We will track these recommendations until management agrees to take actions that we determine to be sufficient to meet the intent of the recommendations and management submits adequate documentation showing that all agreed‑on actions are completed. DoD Instruction 7650.03 requires that recommendations be resolved promptly. Therefore, please provide us within 30 days your response concerning specific actions in process or alternative corrective actions proposed on the recommendations.
