Soldiers who work together should train together

Article Abstract:

The Federal Advisory Committee on Gender-Integrated Training has filed a recommendation urging for the separation of women training camps from those of men's. The recommendation was filed after a woman military personnel was sexually offended by her superior in Aberdeen, MD. The proposal is not likely to remedy the problem, since majority of sexual offences do not occur during training. In fact, most sexual-related cases are linked with lack of leadership, inadequate supervision and deviant criminal behavior.
