DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Introduction

We are committed to developing and fostering an environment that promotes and practices diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA). Individually, these concepts help us create cohesive teams, which is integral to building trust at all levels. These principles build overall readiness and mission success. We continue to make progress in hiring, developing, employing and retaining the best and brightest talent who want to serve from all segments of society. Our efforts are reflected throughout the Army, in all occupations, grades and ranks.

We are also committed to ensuring equal opportunity in employment for Department of the Army civilian employees and applicants. We do not condone prohibited personnel practices in employment. We sustain our commitment and dedication to an environment that encourages and enables individuals to perform fully and exceptionally without interference, barriers or harassment.

It is our policy to provide

• equal opportunity in federal employment for all persons.
• to maintain a workplace that is free from harassment.
• to design, construct, develop, and maintain facilities, information and communication technology, programs and services so that all people, including individuals with disabilities, can fully and independently use them.
• to prohibit discrimination in employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy), disability, age (40 or older), genetic information, retaliation or any other impermissible basis.

To ensure our leadership focus on DEIA, we created an Army Intelligence and Security Enterprise (AISE) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council that supports the initiatives to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion. The council works to address gaps through open communication, awareness, exposure, education and action.
