SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 557 of the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act requires USD(P&R) to sponsor a federally funded research and development center to assess existing barriers to minority participation in elite units, including Special Operations Forces (SOF) and pilot and navigator military occupational specialties. A RAND study, published in 1999, found that ethnic/racial minorities are underrepresented in SOF, compared to their representation in other military specialties, and recommended a range of actions DoD could take to address the barriers minorities face in securing equal participation in these units. Section 557 calls for a reexamination of minority representation in SOF and an expansion of past research to assess additional elite units (pilot/navigator specialties) and gender representation now that combat restrictions for women have been eliminated. For this effort, focus groups will be conducted on topics that include recruitment, accession and training, culture and climate, and career progression; a small set of closed-ended and open-ended survey questions completed individually at the end of the session will also be included. Some focus groups will be conducted on military bases where members of the identified units serve and some focus groups will be conducted using an online platform that meets government compliance and security standards (Microsoft Teams or Zoom for Government, and Qualtrics, which has met the security standards required for government use (i.e., Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program)). This study will inform DoD on how to enhance operational capabilities of these units by promoting diversity and inclusion.
