In addition, dossiers are kept on all persons who may be of any interest whatso- ever to the police. Workers in many plants may not be hired before a police questionnaire is completed, a security check performed and its results approved by the KGB. Actual in- terrogation without attendant arrest may form a part of sur- veillance techniques. Arrests are commonly made under conditions calculated to enhance terror and serious misgivings as to the safety of those arrested. There is no prior approval by any other gov- ernment body of these arrests, and more importantly no recourse from them is possible. Arrest may be followed by a long period (up to several months) of confinement with no contacts allowed with anyone including family. No legal counsel is normally allowed during this stage of the proceed- ings. Expert interrogation follows and is characterized mainly by verbal persuasion for "confession," intimidation, threats, continuous mental pressure, physical violence (with many new and refined practices), and threatened actual re- prisals against the family of the accused. It is simple fact that the human organism finally gives in to this incessant ordeal. The accused is now ready for trial and sentencing, or as is true in many cases, just sentencing without further formal process.

Merle Fainsod in his excellent chapter, Terror as a System of Power, concludes that, "The risk which the Party leadership faces is that it too will become the uncon- scious victim of the Frankenstein's monster which it has created. The ultimate hazard of terror as a system of power is that it ends by terrorizing the master as well as the slave." END PRISONER COUNSELING PAYS OFF

"This article is illustrative of the successful results that can be achieved through the dedicated performance of duty by our noncommissioned officers. During a recent visit to the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leaven- worth, Kansas, I saw these Army non-coms at work and was very favorably impressed by them. Many of the thoughts and ideas contained in this article are applicable to the local stockade level and should be of value to confinement personnel in carrying out their duties. Here is just another fine example of the great worth of our professional Army senior noncommissioned officers and the "pay off" which can result when one gives them a difficult and necessary task to accomplish for the Army."

THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL WHICH WAY DID THEY GO? By LIEUTENANT COLONEL WADE Y. BROOKRESON, MPC U.S. Army Military Police Board, Fort Gordon, Ga.

ARE traffic control techniques and devices maintaining pace with developments in the modern Army? Are we providing the commander with maximum assis- tance while discharging our traffic control responsibilities? Consideration of the above and related questions may bring forth an awakening to an uncomfortable feeling that we have become accustomed to an unwholesome atmosphere of complacency in regard to certain basic responsibilities. An uneasy feeling that we are resting on well earned but out- moded laurels should be readily evident. Are we standing on the superhighway watching the modern mobile Army move cross-country without benefit of the full support military police have rendered the Army in the past ? The modern Army is characterized by highly mobile com- bat elements with a capability of conducting independent or semi-independent offensive type operations over extended areas. These units are capable of converging at points of assembly or penetration and of subsequent rapid dispersion and unhesitating advance to other far-flung objectives. Units will seldom stay in one area for more than a few hours. Speed and mobility are stressed to reduce vulnerability. New low-ground-pressure vehicles with amphibious, long-range, cross-country, all-weather capabilities and reduced mainte- nance requirements provide a high degree of mobility on the ground. Aerial vehicles replace or complement ground vehicles and contribute greatly to this overall mobility. Night, bad weather and heavy dust, which create conditions of poor visibility, are considered to be advantages rather than dis- advantages and are used to shield normal operations. Current Continued Fig 1.-Maps and notes can be sent and received instantly by write-o-graph from MP patrol to column commander.

JULY, 1960 19 HAVE found that there are four basic principles which apply to the problem of creating Army units which are considered superior. First, the superior unit must be created from the ordinary run of personnel. Second, classified according to ability, the men in a unit fall naturally into three nearly equal sized groupings-upper, middle and lower. The excellence of a unit depends upon the ability of the commander to bring the men of the lower group to a degree of proficiency which makes them an asset to his unit team. Third, all men desire to do what is wanted of them. When they do not, it is because they have not been adequately motivated and instructed. Fourth, the best unit in an organization is always the one which is excellent or better in all things. If you agree with these precepts, let us analyze and apply them to the basic problem of the commander who is striving for a superior unit. Probably no agency of the United States Government is made up of personnel who so closely approach a typical cross- section of our country as is the Army. This statement holds true even in comparison with our sister services. Although there are a few "elite" or special units in the Army, the bulk of our units are made up from the great cross-section of America in the so-called "military" age group. This should be a challenge to us. It draws us close to the people of our country, adding to our strength, but magnifying our respon- sibilities.

THE problems of polishing ordinary units until they emerge as superior are primarily the problems of raising indi- vidual performance and capabilities to a superior level. The many truly outstanding units which have been produced in our Army give ample evidence that these problems can be solved. Based upon their general technical scores, the men in the Seventh United States Army fall naturally into the pat- tern of the three nearly equal groupings previously men- tioned:

UPPER: (GT Group I - 5% (GT Group II - 27%

32% MIDDLE (GT Group III - 39% LOWER (GT Group IV - 25% (GT Group V - 4%

29%

The following is a breakdown of the personnel in the Seventh Army by grades in the three groupings: Percentage falling in each Grouping E7 E6 E5 E4 E3 E2 El UPPER: 55 37 31 33 29 27 15 MIDDLE: 36 45 42 40 38 36 38 LOWER: 9 18 27 27 33 37 47

THE higher percentages of personnel in the upper grouping are found in the upper grades, and in the lower grouping

Too often these go to the men in handling his men. He must assume that they all want to do the top of the upper group. They provide no incentive for improvement what he wants done. When any number does not respond to to those in the lower group and little for those this assumption, the fault is more probably his than theirs'. in the middle group because the men know that the award is beyond their He should check his procedures, instructions and subordinate ability to achieve.

It is well to recognize the outstanding men, and we do We arrive now at the fourth precept which is based upon this through our promotions; however our system of awards the premise that no unit commander has enough time to make must go beyond this and set the stage for awards to units, his unit superior in all things at all times. How, therefore, teams and crews in such a way that the effort of the men of should he spread his efforts?
