From Representation to Inclusion: Diversity Leadership for the 21st-Century Military – Final Report of the Military Leadership Diversity Commission – Predecisional Draft

  • “This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Military Leadership Diversity Commission (MLDC). Under the provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2009, Section 596, and Public Law 110-417, Congress asked the Commission to “conduct a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of policies that provide opportunities for the promotion and advancement of minority members of the Armed Forces, including minority members who are senior officers.” Congress charged the Commission to carry out 16 interrelated tasks. The nonpartisan, deliberative body of 32 military and civilian leaders researched, reflected on, and recommended improvements to diversity-related policies supportive of the missions and 10 goals of the Department of Defense (DoD). Unanimously, the Commission recognizes that the understanding of diversity must and can change throughout DoD. The Commission acknowledges that the Services have been leaders in providing opportunities for all service members, regardless of their racial and ethnic background. Today’s effective multiethnic and multicultural force is a living testament to the success of
    military equal opportunity policies and related recruiting and management tactics.”
