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.
