Military Equal Opportunity: Certain Trends in Racial and Gender Data May Warrant Further Analysis
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the services' Military
Equal Opportunity Assessments (MEOA) to determine whether certain
active-duty personnel data reflect racial and gender disparities within
the services.<p/>GAO found that: (1) MEOA do not consistently identify and assess the
significance of possible racial and gender disparities within the
services; (2) MEOA categories are reported differently by each service,
since the services are not required to report data on low rank
promotions and voluntary separations; (3) the Deputy Assistant Secretary
of Defense for Equal Opportunity (DASD EO) has not analyzed the
services' MEOA or DOD summaries for fiscal year 1993; (4) there are
significant statistical disparities in the number of minorities
considered for accessioning, career enhancement, and promotion; and (5)
some of these disparities can be attributed to job-related and societal
factors.
