ACTION MEMORANDUM
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
TO
SUBJECT
REFERENCE:
y Director (Support)
As we have discussed on many occasions, one of the great needs of the
Agency is to establish a system whereby officers will be required to take certain
training in order to qualify for particular assignments and promotions. As a
first stop toward developing a career and training program which would insure
that all personnel received certain required courses in various stages in their
careers, would you ask the Office of Training to prepare something along these
lines. As I would envisage it, an officer after his JOT training -- or if he is
not a JOT after his basic training -- would have about five to seven years of
line duty and then would take some form of nil-career training which should
include substance, operations and management, and then after another five to
seven years uld receive some form of senior officer training. Probably
those selected for senior officer training would be the individuals who were
destined to become senior executives. Others would be given specialist train-
ing in their major areas of knowledge.
