Department of Defense Equity Action Plan , April , 2022
From report: "In January 2021, the Department of Defense (DoD) took steps to immediately
implement President Biden’s Executive Order (EO) 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, by conducting
an equity assessment to identify potential barriers that underserved communities and
individuals face regarding Federal programs. The enclosed responds to EO 13985,
which requires Federal agencies to produce an equity action plan.
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’s approach and focus to better ensure that we leverage our capabilities to
create opportunities for all Americans. Within 90 days of the issuance of the plan, the
Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer will send the Deputy Secretary of Defense an
implementation plan with clear milestones and completion times for each of the five
actions."
