- Summary:
- "In the wake of concern about the diversity of candidates selected by the U.S. military service academies, House Report 110-279 requested that the Secretary of Defense conduct a comprehensive assessment of the recruiting efforts, admissions policies, graduation rates, and career success rates at the service academies. The military services provided data and accompanying materials pursuant to a request from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. The RAND Corporation was asked to provide assistance in responding to the Congressional mandate by summarizing trends in accession and various outcomes of interest for the entry cohorts as a whole and for subgroups of interest. The study was a short-term effort and limited in scope to descriptive analyses. This monograph should be of interest to personnel and military planners working to improve the diversity of the military services, particularly the officer force"--P. iii.
