Army Aims Reforms at Ethics Deficit

in Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, Secondary Schools / by Gene Bedley
December 1, 1997

The Army on Thursday announced major reforms in the way it

trains male and female recruits, including extended ethics training,

after concluding that “sexual harassment exists throughout the Army.”. .

. . The Army said it will respond to the highly publicized scandal at

its Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland and other training

bases, by changing the culture in which highly authoritarian drill

sergeants turn young civilians into soldiers. . . . “We had a

leadership failure by selected individuals,” said Army Secretary Togo

West as he presented the report by a specia task force. He appointed the

Senior Review Panel on Sexual

Harassment last November when the Army disclosed

instructor-on-trainee sex abuses at Aberdeen.

. . . . Recruits will get an extra week added to eight weeks of boot

camp to learn values and ethics, and they will go through a “more

rigorous soldierization” — a tacit admission that boot camp has gone

a bit soft. Soldiers will receive two new cards: one listing core

values, the other telling them how to report sexual harassment.

– Rowan Scarborough -The Washington Times
