Abstract
Abstract This chapter argues that the US Army attempted to define the racial crisis it called “the problem of race” based on its own institutional logic and concerns. Army studies and investigations produced a set of claims and principles that shaped army responses to the racial crisis, including concerns about communication, generational differences, discipline, racial identity and the “New Breed Black,” and problems of leadership. The chapter traces the actions of the US Army and Department of Defense, including those of William Westmoreland, James S. White, Stanley Resor, L. Howard Bennett, Arthur Sussman, and Frank Render.
