Stable homotopy groups and a few of the unstable homotopy groups
of the homogeneous spaces SO(2n)/U(s) and U(2n)/Sp(s) for s < n,
and those of SO(4n)/Sp(s) for s <_ n are computed. The enumeration
of homotopy classes of normalized almost complex (n--1) and (n- 2)
substructures with oriented framed complements are given. Some results about
the existence of the equivariant cross sections of these homogeneous spaces
over the spheres with respect to certain unitary group actions are proved
