We focused on recommendations concerning Phase I professional military education and selected the recommendations for which the schools are either directly responsible or play a significant supporting role in their implementation. We interviewed appropriate officials at both schools and asked them to characterize the status of each recommendation, and examined pertinent supporting documents. In each case where we were told that the schools had implemented or partially implemented a recommendation, we reviewed and analyzed the supporting documentation used in determining their characterization. In addition, we examined their methodology used to produce supporting data. Where additional action was still required, we met with school officials to discuss future plans. We obtained written documents to support those plans whenever possible. In those cases where school officials told us that they had not taken any action in response to a Panel recommendation, we interviewed appropriate officials to obtain their reasons for non-implementation.
