The purpose of this study is to provide information to the DoD Comprehensive Review Working Group (CRWG) for use in their report to the Secretary of Defense on the repeal of 10 U.S.C. § 654. The CRWG requested RAND update their 1993 study. The 1993 RAND study looked to the experiences of other organizations that were in some respects analogous to the U.S. military. To learn about these experiences, the study team conducted interviews with officials from selected U.S. police and fire departments to learn about the organizations’ experiences regarding the service of gay personnel. The study statement of work requires updates of the analogous experiences since 1993 of domestic police and fire departments and other potentially analogous government agencies. The statement of work also includes an update regarding implementing policy change in large organizations. To update the 1993 report’s chapter on implementation, the RAND team will incorporate experiences from large U.S. corporations, including major oil companies and defense contractors that deploy personnel to austere environments overseas, and from colleges and universities regarding dormitory assignments. To complete these tasks, RAND will conduct interviews, similar to interviews conducted for the 1993 study but focused on experiences in the intervening years.
This emergency submission is necessary because the collection of information by RAND to update their report on sexual orientation in the military is needed prior to the completion and submission of the CRWG’s report to the Secretary of Defense. RAND’s report will also help inform the CRWG with regard to its recommendations the Secretary. RAND’s report, therefore, must be finished by mid-September 2010. As it requires the collection of data from numerous different sources in a range of locations throughout the country and world and, it is necessary to begin data collection procedures as early as possible in June, 2010. If RAND’s interviews are not approved under an emergency process, it will impede the CRWG’s ability to fulfill its tasking by the Secretary of Defense to study the impact of repeal on military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting, retention, and family readiness.
