Cohen Pushes Tougher Basic Training with Separate Housing
Defense Secretary William Cohen urged tougher basic training for the Army Navy and Air Force while proposing housing men and women in separate areas to curb improper sexual behavior. He rejected full segregation and criticized lapses in discipline noting the Marine focus on civilian to military transformation. Cohen said privacy and supervision must improve and emphasized maintaining separation in the initial weeks to keep focus on military basics. The plan follows a Kassebaum Baker panel report that recommended some separation in key training units and housing during basic and advanced training.
