Many books and articles generally recognize that management
personnel other than those in the data processing installation need to
be oriented towards data processing if effective utilization of these
costly computers is to evolve. Present emphasis in the U. S. Marine
Corps is on training of data processing personnel with limited orientation
or training of other managerial personnel in the capabilities and
limitations of computers. The author carries an additional military occupational specialty
as a Data Processing Officer and has been involved with Marine Corps
data processing for a number of years. He found this lack of training
of other officers a perplexing problem to him in the conduct of everyday
tasks. It soon became evident to him that all officers dealing with him
should have adequate training in data processing. This problem has been
recognized by some Marine Corps officials, but to date a standard system
for training of officers has not evolved. This presentation explores the need for managerial training,
present Marine Corps status on such training and an approach pursued by
the Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, North Carolina. A survey by
a leading management consulting firm is discussed as a portion of this
exploration. Detail lesson plans for the conduct of a semi-standardized
course are developed.
