Approximately 120 women volunteers for the program will be sought by the recruiting service beginning in April. Enlistments for the women are scheduled for October and November 1976. Bases tentatively identified for the trial include Grand Folks AFB, N.D., Barksdale AFB, La., and Osan AB, Korea. "As we envision it," General Sadler explained, "the program will involve women volunteers who successfully complete the basic specialist and combat skills courses. The trial period will run at least one year to afford ample time to evaluate their ability to withstand the rigors of security duties under a wide range of conditions." A combat related specialty, this career area has previously been closed to women, but for this test, restrictions on women will be waived. During the evaluation period, volunteers will perform the entire range of security specialist tasks. The first cadre of technical school graduates under the trial program will leave the Security Police Academy, Lackland AFB, Tex., in February 1977 and the last in March. Officials said that if the women security specialists become disqualified from duty, they will be retrained or separated from the Air Force, as conditions dictate. Also, should the trial prove unsuccessful, retraining into a different specialty will probably be required.
