MLDC Charter Tasks • Definition of Diversity • Outreach and Recruiting • Branching / Assignments • Diversity Leadership and Training • Promotion • 6. Retention • Implementation and • Accountability • 8. Metrics • 9. Legal Implications • 10. National Guard and Reserve Congress defined 16 tasks in the MLDC Charter. The Commission further divided the tasks into 10 categories:
Selected MLDC Findings Final Report (PREDECISIONAL DRAFT -131 pages) on MLDC website www.whso.mldc.gov. Some key findings: Implementation and Accountability: Diversity initiatives are fragmented, and accountability is lacking. Outreach and Recruiting: Today’s youth, and minority youth in particular, have low eligibility rates for military service. Branching and Assignments: Top military leaders primarily come from tactical career fields. These career fields have low minority and female representation. Promotion: There is no discrimination evident in the promotion system. Retention: Women tend to leave the military before their male counterparts.
Selected MLDC Recommendations MLDC developed 20 recommendations in Final Report. Excerpts: The leadership of DoD and the Services must personally commit to making diversity an institutional priority. Secretary of Defense conduct annual “accountability reviews” with his senior leadership. Congress require the Secretary of Defense to send an annual report on the progress made toward diversity goals in the Services, to include the Reserve and National Guard. DoD develop a standard set of strategic metrics and benchmarks that enables the Secretary of Defense to track progress toward its goal of having a dynamic and sustainable 20-30 year pipeline that yields diversity. Eliminate “combat exclusion policies” for women, creating a level playing field for all qualified service members.
Status - Big Navy “The accountability reviews are extraordinarily valuable. . . . They have focused leadership in a way that is more than shouting louder. It’s about substance, mentoring, development, understanding who you have, and moving them along. ADM Gary Roughead , CNO remarks to MLDC, 2010 MLDC presentations revealed that Navy clearly stands out among the Services as the leader in implementation of diversity initiatives. Navy Diversity Directorate (N134) and Navy Strategic Diversity Working Group Recognized by Assoc of Diversity Councils as a Top 25 organization in US for achievements in workplace diversity processes and implementation.

Legal Issues: Targets and Goals • Numerical targets and goals can NOT be used for suspect classes during any selection process • Example: the academies cannot use race, ethnicity, and gender during the admissions process • Numerical targets and goals CAN be used to increase the pool of eligible candidates • Example: the goals for the number of academy applications can specify race, ethnicity, and gender
Legal Issues: Strict Scrutiny • The Services have gone to court for using suspect classes but they have always settled after the judge indicated that “strict scrutiny” would apply. • “Strict scrutiny” means that the government needs to achieve a higher threshold and demonstrate that there is a “compelling government interest” in achieving diversity. This does NOT mean that the government would necessary lose the case.
