NBC airs the tenth episode of the military drama The Lieutenant, created and produced by future Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and starring Gary Lockwood (2001: a space odyssey) and Robert Vaughn (The Man From UNCLE). Ed Asner (Lou Grant) guest stars. 
Lt. Rice is assigned to teach combat techniques to a platoon of French-speaking Asian soldiers, and is stunned to find that one of his trainees is a woman. Despite having difficulty with a training regimen intended for bulkier men, Lt. Joraka gives her best effort and passes the initial exercises. But as the combat training advances to more lethal moves, Rice’s new trainee begins to show signs of washing out. He later learns that Joraka may have more combat experience than he does – stretching all the way back to her childhood.

Hiland), Edward Asner (Walter Perry), Steven Bell (Lt. April), Chuck Haren (Cpl. Sandow), Jerry Hausner (Ken Murtchison), Jo Helton (Sister Lucita), John Milford (Sgt. Kagey), Pilar Seurat (Manisahn Joraka)
Notes: Pilar Seurat would resurface in Star Trek, as the doomed wife of an Argelian lawman in Wolf In The Fold. Ed Asner was well on his way to becoming a frequent-flier face on American TV at the time of his guest appearance on The Lieutenant, with other ’60s appearances including The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Outer Limits, Route 66, The Untouchables, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, The Invaders, The Fugitive, Mission: Impossible, and Ironside; the ’70s, with long-running roles as Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (and later, a spinoff series built around Asner’s character), would make him a household name. Movies, further TV guest roles, and animation voice work followed, the latter including Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, Captain Planet, Spider-Man, and, of course, 2009’s Up. The end credits contain the unusual disclaimer that A Troubled Image is a fictitious story. (One would assume that the same is true of every other episode of The Lieutenant, but this may have been a requirement of the Marine Corps technical advisors due to the episode’s subplot about inappropriate romantic advances.)
