Inspector General's :.,tateanent
Recommended that:
The DD/P establish minimum standards of training and experlun(;e
for case officer apprenticeship including general preparatory,
basic skills, langua;e and advanced operational training, and thIt
he determine the feasibility by experiment of some form of oversms
familiarization as a part of the apprentice period.
DD f P C omm.ent
Concur in part. >e recognize the desirability of establishing
minimum standards and have made this one of the objectives of otr
present training review,
There are objections on two counts to any general program of
overseas familiarization for JOTs. One is administrative, Such a
program would create serious T.O. complications, The other is oa.sic.
By the time a Junior officer reaches the field he will, as a genieral
minimum have had nearly a year of formal training, plus a year )f
on-the-job training in a br&ich. He should now begin to get an
opportunity to prove himself, and we believe that the great majority
badly want the chance to do so. His first tour will necessarily
involve familiarization and will still be a kind of on-the-job
training that all officers receive, however, unintentionally,
throughout their service. The word to emphasize, however, is,.ob
with some of the responsibilities the term implies.
