Summarizes results of research into representation of Hispanic people and people with targeted disabilities among the Department of Defense civilian workforce.
Although a representative workforce is a strategic priority in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), certain demographic groups have historically been underrepresented and may continue to face employment barriers. To address this problem, RAND researchers identified employment barriers that persons with targeted disabilities (PWTD) may experience and recommended actions DoD can take to increase employment of PWTD in its civilian workforce.
This report summarizes the findings of a study to develop an item bank of barriers to mental health care — a repository of survey questions phrased in a nonbiased way about different aspects of mental health treatment and avoidance — for the Department of Defense (DoD); establish the reliability and preliminary validity of the item bank and a short form; and identify options for how DoD can use the item bank to assess and monitor barriers to care.
The number of programs dedicated to countering violent extremism (CVE) has grown in recent years, but a lack of understanding persists regarding the effectiveness of such programs — particularly those conducted online. This report reviews prior assessments of online CVE campaigns; offers recommendations for future assessments; and provides a case study of one particular CVE campaign, the Redirect Method.
This document reviews the Defense Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) by defining the program, its functions, and why it is valuable to participating nations. The authors describe its specific purpose, the efforts that have been made to gauge DEEP's effectiveness, some select accomplishments, and the significant lessons learned about the program.
This report analyses strategic challenges in generating forces to execute the Australian Army's current and emergent roles and missions, as they have been agreed upon with Government. Comparing the structures and performances of four globally significant armed forces and making use of the Australian Government's Defence Risk Management Framework, the report proposes nine solution themes for improving decisionmaking at policy and strategic levels.
How does regular military compensation compare with earnings of appropriate civilian comparison groups? RAND researchers analyzed the figures for 2016, following up on Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation comparisons for 2009 and 1999. The researchers also assessed how each service's recruit quality has changed as military pay has risen relative to civilian pay since 1999.
To aid the Department of Defense in managing its acquisition workforce, this volume provides data and analysis of workforce characteristics, gains, and losses and describes data-based tools to support further analysis.
My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) Scholarships are intended to help military spouses with education and employment. This report evaluates MyCAA use, employment and earnings of eligible spouses, and continuation of their service members. The findings regarding work and earnings are promising, and personnel married to MyCAA users are more likely to still be on active duty three years after the spouse is awarded the scholarship.
My Career Advancement Account Scholarships are intended to help military spouses with education and employment. The percentage of eligible spouses working declined over time, but users were more likely than nonusers to be working two years later.
This report evaluates the capabilities of current and programmed U.S. forces to meet the demands of conflicts that could arise involving any of five potential adversaries. The report finds that U.S. forces today are larger than needed to fight a single war, are failing to keep pace with the forces of great power adversaries, are poorly postured to meet key challenges in Europe and East Asia, and are insufficiently trained and ready.

An integrated approach to purchasing health care for U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs could have important implications for access, quality, and costs but could face legislative, policy, or contractual challenges.
The U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health systems operate purchased care programs that govern how beneficiaries see providers in their communities. This preliminary feasibility assessment examined how an integrated approach to purchasing care could affect access, quality, and costs and identified general legislative, policy, and contractual challenges to implementing such a program.
