The Department of Defense issued an equity report, aiming to equalize outcomes for employees and partners across racial, sexual and gender lines.<\/p>\n
The DOD released its equity report alongside all other departments of President Biden’s administration this week. In the text, the DOD explained a series of procedural changes to better align with the White House’s demands for “equity.”<\/p>\n
“While the Department has historically focused on increasing equity within the DOD community, the collective actions described in this plan represent a shift in the Department\u2019s approach and focus to better ensure that we leverage our capabilities to create opportunities for all Americans,” the Department of Defense wrote in its report.<\/p>\n
The DOD report offers a series of plans moving forward that “will identify potential barriers that underserved communities and individuals face regarding Federal programs.”<\/p>\n
First, the DOD announced it will seek to rearrange its supply chain in order to open up opportunities for underserved communities. It will also bolster a variety of programs aimed at assisting those same communities in the area of military bases, such as American Indian initiatives and environmental efforts.<\/p>\n
In February 2021, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered military leaders at all levels of command to facilitate “discussion of the principle that all those who support DOD\u2019s mission deserve an environment free of discrimination, hate and harassment.”<\/p>\n
The report continued, “This included a focus on how extremist or dissident ideologies violate the fundamental principles of the Department.”<\/p>\n
The DOD went on to note its increased tolerance for military service by transgender soldiers.<\/p>\n
“DOD took steps to ensure transgender individuals who wished to serve in the military and could meet the appropriate standards were able to do so openly and free from discrimination,” the report stated.<\/p>\n
The DOD also announced it will be making targeted investments into minority communities, committing to “invest in underserved communities and expand access to DoD programs and opportunities by increasing investments in Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and investments in K-12 and K-20 programs.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
