Air Force tracking discipline data to ensure fairness

Air Force commanders are now required to track demographic data from lesser disciplinary actions to make sure they are being carried out fairly and impartially.

These disciplinary actions include administrative counseling, admonishments and reprimands, the Air Force said in a release Jan. 6. The Air Force plans to track rank, age, gender, race and ethnicity, of both airmen and Space Force guardians who are being punished, and those who issue the disciplinary actions.

The requirement was laid out in a Dec. 21 memo, the Air Force said.

Tracking this data “reinforces the department’s commitment to ensuring all airmen and guardians are treated fairly and provides commanders insight to facilitate positive practices, such as increased mentoring and professional development,” John Fedrigo, the Air Force’s principal deputy assistant secretary for manpower and reserve affairs, said in the memo.
