Summary:

This report outlines ongoing work by the Department of Defense to address the threat posed by prohibited extremist activities. The Department of Defense has long prohibited Service members from actively engaging in extremist activities. This report provides background on the work completed by the Department. It also details the implementation status of the Secretary's four directed actions from April and describes the six additional recommendations and associated actions developed by the CEAWG. Extremist activity within the Department of Defense is rare, but even the actions of a few can have an outsized impact on unit cohesion, morale and readiness - and the physical harm some of these activities can engender can undermine the safety of the Total Force. The Department will continue to address insider threats and other activities that might undermine unit cohesion, including extremist activity. These efforts will improve the readiness of our Total Force, ensuring that the United States continues to have the finest, most disciplined military in the world.
