On the day he took office, President Joe Biden issued an executive order setting the stage for a host of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across the entire federal government. On April 15, the Defense Department unveiled its 25-page plan, with a list of values, goals and some moves already made toward a more inclusive workforce, as well as more equitable business dealings.
The idea, according to the plan’s executive summary, is that DoD will expand its DEI efforts outside of the department itself, to be more inclusive in all its dealings, to include contracting and community outreach.
There are five main efforts within the plan: procurement and contracting; military installations; military families; artificial intelligence research and development; and underserved communities.
