Question
Dear, Aaron,
I was in Navy boot camp in 1965 and witnessed many beatings
of the recruits, some serious. I am sure that practice was
outlawed. I just do not know when. Also, there was a company
called 4050. It was like prison and open abuse was witnessed
many times. Can you help me with the dates of when these
practices were outlawed, please. I have a feeling that the
two were obsolete at different times, but not sure. Thanks,
Dick Schlueter
I cannot answer any question that pertains to the Navy. US Army Training and Doctrine Command is in charge of all of our trainees. Their publications library has specific regulations that detail the treatment of Soldiers during IET, but none are historical. Here is the link:

Otherwise I suggest google as a search tool. Good luck in your research.
