Individual members of the Committee are appointed by the Secretary of Defense and serve in a voluntary capacity for one- to four-year terms. As in previous years, in 2013 DACOWITS divided its work into two general areas, Wellness and Assignments, with working groups formed for each. The Committee selected specific topics for study, described below, and gathered both primary and secondary sources of information on these topics, including briefings from military representatives and subject matter experts; data and other informa- tion collected during installation visits from focus groups and interactions with Service members; and literature reviews. These sources of information formed the basis for the Committee’s recommendations and reasoning. The Committee agreed on recommendations at its September 2013 meeting and approved this report at its December 2013 meeting. Wellness Recommendations The Committee studied two Wellness topics – the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the military and reproductive health care services and policies for military women. Prevention of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault in the Military The Committee’s 2013 study of sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention built on its previous work on this topic in 2011 and 2012 and its belief that the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the military continues to demand immediate and concentrated action. According to DoD estimates, approximately 26,000 Service members experienced some form of sexual assault in fiscal year (FY) 2012 – a 35% increase over FY 2010 – but the number of sexual assault reports i totaled only 3,374. Approximately 525 students at the military Service Academies experienced some form of sexual assault in academic year (AY) 2012 – about the same number as in AY 2010, but the num- ber of sexual assault reports totaled only 80. In addition, 51% of Academy women and 10% of Academy men stated they had experienced sexual harassment in AY 2012. Beyond these DoD statistical compilations of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the Services and at the Academies, there were serious and widespread allegations of sexual misconduct in the Air Force training program at Lackland Air Force Base in 2012 and several high-profile incidents of sexual as- sault or alleged sexual assault in 2013 by Service Academy students, Service members, and senior of- ficers. DoD responded to these data and events by announcing initiatives aimed at strengthening the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program and by continuing its efforts to strengthen the handling of sexual harassment and other equal opportunity complaints by the Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity. Congress responded by legislating and proposing legislation to both strengthen the SAPR program and reform the military justice system. The Committee focused its 2013 efforts on these and other initiatives aimed at preventing and re- sponding to sexual harassment and sexual assault throughout DoD and the Services, including at the Service Academies. As explained in more detail in the full 2013 report, DACOWITS made the following recommendations, based on the reasoning below, to address the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the military. Recommendation 1: DoD and the Services should each combine in one program their efforts to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and sexual assault. Reasoning Experts on sexual harassment and sexual assault both in and outside DoD recognize that there is a strong correlation between the two. Yet, in the DoD organizational framework, sexual harassment and sexual assault are handled in separate programs, with sexual harassment the responsibility of the Office of Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity and sexual assault the responsibility of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. Among the Services, only the Army combines sexual assault preven- tion and sexual harassment prevention under its Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program, recognizing the need to address “the foundation and progression of sexual violence.” A 2011 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), Preventing Sexual Harassment: DoD Needs Greater Leadership Accountability and an Oversight Framework, pointed out that sexual harassment pro- grams in DoD suffered from limited staff resources, lack of oversight, no plan to monitor incidents, no way to measure progress, and no way to communicate results. GAO recommended improvements in leadership commitment to preventing and responding to sexual harassment, compliance and ac- countability, and oversight of the sexual harassment program. While some improvements have been made in addressing sexual harassment organizationally, the program remains under-resourced and under-emphasized. Yet, as focus group members have told DACOWITS, and as the most recent Defense Manpower Data Center 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members reveals, sex- ual harassment is a continuing, serious problem. To improve efforts to eliminate sexual harassment and ii Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services Executive Summary Executive sexual assault, DoD and the Services should follow the Army model and have one combined sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention and response program. Recommendation 2: DoD should support legislation to remove from the chain of command the prosecution of military cases involving serious crimes, including sexual assault, except crimes that are uniquely military in nature. Instead, the decisions to prosecute, to determine the kind of court martial to convene, to detail the judges and members of the court martial, and to decide the extent of the punishment, should be placed in the hands of the military personnel with legal expertise and experience and who are outside the chain of command of the victim and the accused. Introduction Reasoning The persistent problem of sexual assault in the military continues to demand immediate and con- centrated action. DoD and the Services have placed a great deal of recent emphasis on finding different ways to prevent and respond to sexual assault, including by adopting some of DACOWITS’ recent recommendations. However, the number of sexual assaults continues to increase, not de- crease, and there is a huge disparity between DoD’s own estimates of the number of sexual assault and Recommendations incidents (26,000 in FY 2012) and the number of sexual assault reports (3,374 in FY 2012). Victims Research Wellness have said that they do not come forward because they lack confidence in the system – they do not think their complaints will get a fair and impartial hearing, they do not think perpetrators will be held accountable, and they fear that they will suffer reprisals. Unfortunately, recent events have shown these fears to be justified and may also have communicated to perpetrators that they need not fear being held accountable for their actions. Under the current system, in which complaints are addressed within the chain of command, the commander has complete authority over the han- dling of cases, including whether to prosecute, whether to convene a court martial, who to name to the jury, and if and what kind of punishment is warranted. Moreover, because a commander and Recommendations Assignments Research Research Assignments often has both the victim and the accused perpetrator in his or her command, this decision-making poses a potential conflict of interest. To ensure the strong military justice system that is essential to preventing sexual assault and other serious crimes, DoD should support legislation to remove these decisions from the chain of command and make decision-making in the military justice system more independent, impartial, and consistent.

  • Air Force Track System to Increase Retention, Lethality, and Quality Of
    Air Force Track System to Increase Retention, Lethality, and Quality of Life 20 February 2018 Authors: Capt Anthony T. Alt Capt Nathaniel D. Beene Capt Kathleen B. Deiters Capt Patrick C. Ernst Capt Katherine J. Hewlett Capt Anita L. Labenski Capt David J. Miller Capt Irene M. Mitchell Capt Nathan F. Schuler Capt Chance A. Smith Capt McKay D. Williams Capt Christopher T. Wright 1 Executive Summary One of the most pressing issues facing the United States Air Force is the ever growing pilot shortage, reaching a deficit of nearly 2,000 pilots and expected to increase (Pawlyk, 2017). A number of factors led to this shortage, including the high operational tempo, the availability of higher paying jobs in the private sector, the additional duties detracting from primary jobs, and the lack of ability to continue as a technically trained line-flier versus transitioning to leadership roles requiring drastically reduced flight time as a more senior service member. However, these issues are not limited to only rated career fields. The Air Force could potentially see critical shortages in all AFSCs. The Squadron Officer School Class 18C Think Tank collective was asked to address this growing retention crisis and its impact on lethality. The authors of this article recommend establishing a track system in both the officer and enlisted ranks to retain experience and maximize lethality in highly technical career fields, called the Air Force Track System (AFTS). This system codifies the existing command track and creates an equally valid technical track. The AFTS delineates the separate tracks with highly skilled, technically minded experts in the technical track with a depth of highly technical experience and in the command track, passionate leaders who are intentionally and deliberately developed for command.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

He felt sure the name had been used before, and it had. The name of the expedition was changed, but the original choice has since been used again anyway, and both occurrences were the result of the lack of means to check for such duplication. It was pointed out to the staff of the Ship Scheduler's Office that there was a list of names of previous expeditions that had been compiled originally by the Curator of Geology, and revised by his staff. It was comprised primarily of expeditions and samples of direct concern to geologists. Since the person contacted for this list (though there were numerous copies scattered around as part of a geological curating manual) • had also been involved in enlarging the original, it seemed rather logical (to some) that this person should be the one to update the list insofar as possible.
