Based upon the information analyzed during this research, certain shortcomings and weaknesses are evident in the National Guard's Training in the Prevention of Sexual Harassment program.

Integrate sexual harassment prevention into Equal Opportunity/Human Relations training and all professional military education. 3) Establish formal requirements for sexual harassment prevention training, 4) Establish separate training for technicians, 5. Adopt or allow states to adopt a correspondence course so that states may have options for training in sexual harassment; 6. Certify all Social Actions/Human Relations officers as trainees; 7. Certify all Equal Opportunity managers and specialists, plus one additional person to train technicians; 8. Add sexual harassment certification to the curriculum at Defense Equal Opportunity Military Institute; 9.

The purpose of this qualitative study is to evaluate U.S. Army Reserve component soldiers' attitudes and perceptions of sexual harassment training received in the military. Sexual harassment is an issue that plagues organizations from conducting their missions. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 first prohibited discrimination based on an individual's sex. Since the ruling, American organizations have developed policies defining sexual harassment, and outlined the consequences of engaging in such behavior. Sexual harassment training is a means to combat the issue of sexual harassment in organizations. The scope of this study is to gain insight from soldiers and contribute to the body of knowledge concerning sexual harassment training in the U.S. Army Reserve in order to propose recommendations to improve military sexual harassment training programs. By utilizing the qualitative methodology, through the use of individual, in-depth interviews, soldiers' attitudes and perceptions concerning their experiences with sexual harassment training in the military can be revealed. Working to improve military sexual harassment training programs will help to heighten soldier's awareness and enhance sexual harassment prevention measures to allow military units to focus on their mission rather than the distraction of sexual harassment. Overall, the sampled soldiers perceive sexual harassment training in the U.S. Army Reserve as being beneficial and completely necessary to control sexual harassment in this work environment. Based on the results of the data from the interviews, soldiers identified numerous ways to improve the effectiveness of current U.S. Army Reserve sexual harassment training programs. Incorporating creative teaching tools such as case studies, scenarios, role play, movie clips, and guest speakers into the programs' constructs, will work to increase solders' attentiveness and maximize the lasting impact of the training on soldiers' attitudes and perceptions of sexual harassment.
