The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is committed to eliminating harassment and unlawful discrimination within the U.S. armed forces. This includes harassment and discrimination on the basis of race or ethnicity, which persists across the United States, including in the U.S. military. To help military leaders and policymakers better understand the nature of racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination within the armed services, RAND researchers created a survey instrument to assess the prevalence of racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination within DoD. To do so, we (1) reviewed published surveys that assess racial/ethnic harassment, discrimination, microaggressions (i.e., stereotypes about specific races or ethnicities, passive poor treatment by others, and expressions of opinions regarding racism), and related content and (2) consulted with experts in the occurrence and measurement of harassment and discrimination on the basis of race/ethnicity.

The 2005 Workplace and Equal Opportunity Survey of Active-Duty Members (WEOA2005) was designed to both estimate the level of racial/ethnic harassment/discrimination and provide information on a variety of consequences of racial/ethnic harassment/discrimination. This report gathered information on demographics, military workplace information, satisfaction and retention, unit cohesion, readiness, health, and well-being, racial/ethnic-related experiences in the military, and personnel policy and practices. In this tabulation volume are an introduction to the survey, cross tabulations of the resulting data on a series of demographic variables of interest to the various policy offices within OUSD(P & R), and a copy of the survey instrument. Results are tabulated by Service, paygrade, and race/ethnicity. Reporting categories are further broken out by race/ethnicity.

This study examines the extent to which perceptions of the quality of race relations, racial incidents, and the handling of such incidents influence reported levels of satisfaction with military service using data from the Armed Forces Equal Opportunity Survey, released in November 1999. Racial incidents have a negative effect on satisfaction, but the effect is moderated if victims are satisfied with reporting and investigative processes. Unease in dealing with members of other groups and pressure to socialize with members of one's own racial/ethnic group adversely affects the equal opportunity climate in ways difficult to ameliorate through training activities. Efforts to diversity workplace demographics have modest positive effects. Confidence in a supervisor's fairness and commitment to creating a positive EO climate has a significant positive influence on satisfaction. In contrast to the summary information contained in the survey, racial/ethnic minorities generally express greater levels of satisfaction than Whites.

The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.
