Academic And Military

Programs Of The

Five Service Academies

Departments of Defense,
Transportation, and Commerce

All five academies are generally producing
qualified officers, but several aspects of the
academies' programs could be improved.

For instance, only the Naval and Merchant
Marine Academies require a comprehensive
examination to evaluate students' professional
competence before graduation and commis-
sioning. These examinations should not serve
as rigid formats, but as guides for the other
academies in developing systems to meet their
specific needs and to identify military training
shortcomings.

The Naval and Coast Guard Academies have
recently established formal programs to assess.
individual and group performance after grad-
uation; the Air Force and Military Academies
lack such programs, relying principally on
informal, fragmentary feedback. A formal
program gives the academies better infor-
mation on the competence of graduates they
are producing.
