Secretary Cohen Issues Guidance to Services on Kassebaum Baker Panel Recommendations.

Abstract

Following the 90-day Service review of the Kassebaum Baker Panel recommendations, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen provided new guidance to the Services today for improving basic training in the military. The actions came following his consideration of the recommendations of the Kassebaum Baker Report and the responses of the Services to that report. Secretary Cohen noted that the members of the panel had been in the forefront of expanding opportunities for women in the military, a position which the Secretary has supported throughout his career. The Secretary also noted the important contribution to the effort made by the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS) in surveying views and attitudes of trainers and trainees. Cohen said the Services responded to the Kassebaum Baker Report by recognizing a number of deficiencies and have agreed to make changes in those areas. These areas and others are enumerated.
