DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe military services are currently going through an historic transition period. With the end of the Cold War, the United States is redefining its threats and the services are revising their missions to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The downsizing of our forces over the past ten years from 2.2 million to 1.4 million active-duty service members, combined with the advances in technology, are changing how and when America defends its interests. The demographics of the all-volunteer force have also been undergoing a major transition. Since 1972, when women comprised about 2 percent of the military, the number of women has increased in the total force to about 13.5 percent and recent policy changes have opened up more than 260,000 new positions for women. These significant changes and trends are requiring adjustments to how today's recruits are trained. There is no more valuable military resource than its personnel, making training, indisputably, a top priority. It is the committee's intention, during this time of transition, to contribute to the effort to craft a sound policy for training our young men and women today for tomorrow's missions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe reports of sexual misconduct at Aberdeen Proving Grounds led the Secretary of Defense to establish the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender Integrated Training and Related Issues and to ask the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services to meet with trainees and trainers. These incidents also prompted the Secretary of the Army to establish the Senior Review Panel on Sexual Harassment. In November 1996, the Secretary of the Army established the Senior Review Panel on Sexual Harassment. The panel's mission was to make recommendations to improve the human relations environment in which soldiers live and work, with the specific goal of eradicating sexual harassment in the Army. The panel consisted of seven members, including two retired general officers recalled to active duty, two active duty general officers, a senior noncommissioned officer, and two DOD civilians. The Senior Review Panel forwarded its report and recommendations to the Secretary of the Army in July 1997. It included 40 recommendations, of which 14 dealt with training and related issues.
