The little hierarchy problem encountered in the constrained minimal supersymmetric model can be ameliorated in supersymmetric models based on the gauge symmetry G{sub 422}{identical_to}SU(4){sub c}xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}. The standard assumption in the constrained minimal supersymmetric model [and in SU(5) and SO(10)] of universal gaugino masses can be relaxed in SU(4){sub c}xSU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}, and this leads to a significant improvement in the degree of fine-tuning required to implement radiative electroweak breaking in the presence of a characteristic supersymmetry breaking scale of around a TeV. Examples of Higgs and sparticle mass spectra realized with 10% fine-tuning are presented.
