But in army communities he said several complaints of discrimination against lower ranking Black noncommissioned officers have come to Light. The military a equal Opportunity program is intended to thwart discrimination but Cohill said the complaints portray to officers As More interested in settling cases than in Achico ing Justice. Quot this problem does no to exist at the major command level. I think its More at the company level Quot Cohill said. The associations february report based on an a act panels 1992 visits to five military communities in Germany said the same thing responding to Cohill a observations a . Army Europe spokesman Oil Richard Bridges said the Heidelberg based command has committed itself recently to a new equal Opportunity Standard to ensure fair treatment of soldiers. Quot part of that is adequate equal Opportunity staffing but part of it is also dealing with complaints in a timely manner Quot Bridges said adding a the complaint in the past is that these things take too Long to  equal Opportunity cases sometimes dragged on indefinitely usually leaving All parties dissatisfied he said. Cohill cited the following allegations people have made to him a a Black sergeant was suspended from duly because of a Domestic quarrel that involved no obvious physical abuse. A White sergeant in the same unit was charged with rape but allowed to stay on duty. A a Black sergeant gave a White female Soldier a counselling statement which acts As a notice of improper behaviour or actions. The woman then filed an equal Opportunity complaint accusing him of sexual harassment. The complaint was dismissed but the unit commander gave the sergeant a who exceeded expectations in most areas a a bad Job Efalua Cohill Tion based on equal Opportunity issues a Black sergeants urinalysis test for illegal drugs turned up positive. Witnesses claim the army broke the required Chain of custody for the Sample in conducting the test. Even so based on the test results the army is preparing to discharge the sergeant. Conill said Many people including Whites who said they witnessed acts of discrimination have approached him with discrimination related problems because the a act Grants them confidentiality. Quot sometimes they just want to talk because they re afraid to go to the to officer if they go to the to officer or they go to the inspector Genera they re branded As a troublemaker Quot he said adding Quot there Are rules and regulations to protect people like that but it does no to happen. So the Only thing we be got to do is make the rules and Laws that have been written and enacted come into  the equal Opportunity system does no to work because it conflicts with the military s emphasis on loyalty to the unit commander he said. Bridges urged soldiers who believe they Are victims of discrimination to use the Chain of command to report the matter Quot there Are always going to be problems. There Are always going to be people who feel justifiably or unjustifiably that they be been wronged because of their race he said. Quot the problem has got to be known to the Chain of command m order for the Chain of command to do something about  beyond that he said a Soldier still has the option of taking a discrimination Case to the inspector general a office. Quot we re Here to make this work. We re not going to ignore a problem if it can be validated Quot Bridges said. N c1 r-99-Ilvftur a Isle is. Europe As the . Civil rights commission chairman Arthur Fletcher called the military Seo program the equal employment Opportunity program for civilians and the army inspector general ineffective in dealing with discrimination in Europe. Fletcher a report produced acrimony Between military leaders who thought they had instituted the necessary regulatory safeguards against discrimination and civil rights advocates who thought something still was lacking. Quot the Fletcher report was True Quot Cohill said but added Quot i think that All of us reacted in a less than objective  the a act changed its approach later trying to solve both systemic and individual problems Cohill said. The Fletcher report prompted the a act panels visit last year As Well As Quot the visit of an army panel that retraced Fletcher a tracks in Europe to assess the problem. Cohill said his recent meeting with 22 department of defense dependents schools employees showed him that the school system also has not eradicated the effects of Bias. One employee who holds a doctorate complained that a supervisor had refused to provide paperwork that would enable the employee to seek a promotion. Others complained about such paperwork vanishing in the bureaucratic system.
