We can all he proud of the Army's record in providing equal opportunities for all its people. The Army has probably made more progress within its ranks than any other major group in American society; however, there is a continuing need for a close analysis of potential problems in this area. Continued, aggressive command action is necessary to preclude any outcropping of racial turbulence that could adversely affect harmonious relationships. It is a continuing responsibility of commanders at all levels to assure every soldier equal opportunity and treatment. The need for effective communication on these matters between commanders and soldiers on all levels cannot he overemphasized. Problems result not so much from what the stated policy is but rather from what the soldiers believe it to he. Consequently, there can be a great difference between fact and opinion. Our old ways of thinking about, and communicating on, racial matters must be The standard indicators which we have relied upon in the past to assess morale and discipline are not sufficient today. As part of a society that is undergoing rapid change, the Army must become more sensitive to the soldiers desire to be recognized for his personal worth, dignity and pride. Racial harmony will not occur automatically. Every month thousands of recruits take their places in the Army ranks; they come from varying economic and social backgrounds. They must he informed of the contents of Army which deals with the subject of equal Regulation 600-2- 1 opportunity and treatment of military personnel. It must be clearly understood by all soldiers that the Army has made a firm commitment to continuing the task of removing every vestige of discrimination which affects the American soldier and his dependents. That same mutual trust and respect so manifest on the battlefield must pervade all Army installations and activities. We of the Army are proud of our heritage' and our contributions to the furtherance of our national goals. I expect all soldiers to take pride in ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for all as we pursue our important mission of providing security for our great country. (ANF) W. C.
