ACCOMH, I `OBJECT
Fiscal year 1952 was the first full year of operation of the Office of Training (General). The major accom
plishments of the Office of Training (General) during this year were:
(1) the organization, establishment, conduct and administration of training courses and programs which were
planned and developed during the last six months of fiscal year 1951;
(2) the designing of a Career Service Program for the Agency and the subsequent development of this program
through the Agency Career Service Committee;
(3) the relating of required training courses and programs to the stated requirements of the Offices of the
Agency and to the Career Service Program; and
(4) the planning and development of additional training courses and programs in furtherance of meeting the
total training requirements of the Agency.
The training courses and programs established and developed in fiscal year 1952 were designed to meet the
following objectives:
(1) the indoctrination and orientation of Agency personnel in the mission, functions, and organization of
the Central Intelligence Agency, the language of intelligence, the intelligence process, and the na-
tional intelligence structure;
(2) the training of professional personnel at basic and advanced levels in intelligence principles and'in
intelligence methods and techniques, in language, in military sciences on a civilian or active-duty
status, and in administrative, managerial, and supervisory skills;
(3) the programming of training for professional personnel in language and area and in specialized func-
tional fields, in the United States and overseas; and
(4) the instruction of clerical personnel in the office procedures and practices of the Agency.
