Since early 2024, DOD has cut nearly 200 DEI-related jobs: Report
By Stephen Losey
 Thursday, Apr 17, 2025
 
Since early 2024, the Defense Department has cut or restructured 188 jobs that once managed its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility efforts — including under President Trump’s 2025 push to dismantle federal DEI efforts — according to a Government Accountability Office report released Thursday.

No DEI-related jobs are expected to remain in the U.S. military after the end of April, the congressional watchdog said in a letter to the top Republicans and Democrats on Congress’s armed services committees.


According to GAO, the cuts to DEI-related jobs occurred in two waves: The first in 2024, as part of a provision included in that year’s National Defense Authorization Act, and then this year as a result of the Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI in the military.

GAO found that the NDAA-driven cuts in 2024 resulted in 32 jobs being completely eliminated, with another 115 positions being restructured to reduce or eliminate their DEI-driven duties. Those findings were reported to the armed services committees’ staffs during a briefing in late January.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So, Trump is only finishing the work started by that great military strategist, Joe Biden. :whistle:
