of the rrsin.ing rtforts of Agency components by otticers conversant with training
objec'ivea, procedures, etc. This would also permit. the use of the Office of
TraLning's School and Staff chiefs and chief instruchors who rave experience in
developing new programs, refining objectives, evaluartrg performance of students,
applying instructional. techniques and who have been exposed to new training
tec:hnologic.al developments. Findings of these working groups will provide an
umbrella review of the complete training effort.
