520 In January 2012, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced
plans for a large-scale reduction, or drawdown, of its
military force. The last drawdown to affect all four DoD
services occurred in the 1990s, after the end of the Cold
War. During that period, the military shrank by almost 37
percent, from about 2.17 million in FY 1987 to 1.37
million by FY 2000. Despite having a variety of goals and
strategies for the 1990s and mid-2000s drawdowns, the
services had few, if any, explicit diversity goals or
strategies related to the drawdowns. Based on our
discussions with force management experts, demographic
diversity is also not part of their recent drawdown goals
and strategies. However, the drawdown could have
unintended consequences for demographic diversity even
when diversity is not part of drawdown decisionmaking. To
address the issue of unintended consequences of drawdowns
on diversity, the Office of Diversity Management and Equal
Opportunity (ODMEO) in the Office of the Under Secretary
of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) asked RAND to analyze
how force reductions could affect the demographic
diversity of the DoD workforce. Our study focuses on
gender and race/ethnicity, although we include other
individual differences, such as education, in some
analyses.
