Ward 108 at Walter Reed General Hospital, Washington, D.C. is a long-term research project designed to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing a field-oriented approach combined with the use of operant conditioning principles for reconditioning the military delinquent for active duty. The treatment programme offers a transition from control of behaviour by continuous, extrinsic point reinforcement through more variable and delayed reinforcement schedules to the more naturalistic controls of the Army environment...For an elaboration of the Ward 108 programme, see Arthur D. Colman and Steward L. Baker, Jr., "Utilization of an Operant Conditioning Model for the treatment of Character and Behaviour Disorders in a Military Setting", The American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 125, No. 10, (April, 1969) pp. 1395-1403.

A follow-up study conducted on each patient three months after his return to active duty, indicated that 66.7% (population of 30) of the experimental group were "successful'' whereas only 34.1% of the comparison group (population of 41) succeeded. "Success" was operationclly defined as "a soldier either currently functioning in the unit or one who has been separated from the service for other than administative or punitive reasons", i.e. honourably or medically ...
