a draft report senl- to the Secretary of Defense in 1976
identified certain problems in race relaticns training programs
qiven at selected Army and Air Force installations. The report
noted that the services had no formal method of evaluating the
effectiveness of their tra.ining, that the focus of the training
was misplaced, and that the training as it van given would not
chanqe discriminatory betavior. A recent fcliov-up assezsaant
indicated tnat current race relations training has led to a
aecrease in discrimination complaints and racial incidents at
military installations. Aithough race zelations education is
stilV provided as part of basic training and is given again
later in the enlistment period, it ir ne't co offered in
individual Aruy units unless racial unrest at a particLlar
installation warrants such training. Both services have now
instituted proqrams to perform periodic qualitative evaluations
of their training proqrams. Revised training cur icula in both
services are job relevant, The Army's curriculum focuses on
individual and group situations and recommends strategies for
dealing with such situations. The Air force's seminars examine
how discriaination in the work unit affects job performance.
Both services said that their training personnel receive
hiqh-quality traiainq, and the Army's trainers have the sane
career-enbancing opportulitieb as do personnel assigned to other
specialties. A sufficiently high degree o support of the
training is present in both services. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxdg0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
