715-01 Part E
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of the Army (DA) is a component within the Department of
Defense. Army civilian employees work in a wide variety of positions and pay grades
around the world as part of the mission of the United States Army, as described in the Army
web site www.army.mil.
The Army’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) program administers and
manages the Army’s civilian employment EEO and Civil Rights Program. The
mission/function of EEO practitioners and staff members is uniform throughout the
worldwide organization except in scope. The operating and tactical offices on installations
and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) District EEO offices provide programmatic
support and services to Army activities and tenants. Major Army Commands (ACOMs),
Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs), and Direct Reporting Units (DRUs), EEO
staff provides strategic advice, technical support and oversight of the Commander’s EEO
program. Civilian personnel advisory services are provided on a regional basis as detailed
at http://www.cpocma.army.mil/.
During the reporting period, the position of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the
Army for EEO and Civil Rights became the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for
Diversity and Leadership. EEO Program Policy and Compliance remained intact, while
serving as a foundation for developing diversity and inclusion strategies, initiatives and
civilian workforce transformation.
All civilian employees, except for foreign local national employees, are included in
this report which covers the reporting period ending September 30, 2010. The data
provided in this report represents the workforce demographics of the Army civilian
workforce. Although the national Civilian Labor Force statistic is used for comparisons,
the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code used in this report is 8840
(Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland and Eastern West Virginia) because there is
no “national” FIPS. Furthermore, most of the Army Headquarters’ staffs and leadership are
located in this FIPS area.
Due to the size and complexity of the Army, its broad scope, mission and
organization, the report summarizes the Army EEO program in general terms. The
information provided in this report is an aggregated summary of the entire Department of
the Army. The individual recruitment actions and EEO program operations at the garrisons

or Corps of Engineers district offices have more direct impact on shaping the demographic
profiles of the Army, than the broader agency level report. Due to the broad scope of the
Army, the report contains comparisons to the National Civilian Labor Force. FY 2010
applicant pool data, extracted from the Resumix application system, as well as data from
the Army’s version of the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS) was used to
develop the data analyzed in this report. Although the applicant pool data contained a
number of data anomalies and null values within certain categories, the data is sufficiently
valid to form the basis of generalized conclusions. Applicant data on selections to the
Senior Executive Service (SES) is not part of the Resumix system and the data on SES
applications is not included.
The Headquarters’ Army Diversity and Leadership Office includes three divisions;
Diversity, Leadership and Compliance. While organizing and aligning functions to
complement mission, efficiencies and effectiveness, the Secretary of the Army has
approved a “Diversity Roadmap”. The Roadmap provides a strategic methodology to
integrate portions of the model EEO program essential elements into a transformational
process that impacts the Army’s corporate values regarding the strategic and effective
management of human capital. A key component of the diversity roadmap is the training,
education and awareness efforts needed to ensure diversity and inclusion principles,
objectives and strategies are integral parts of all Army operations as shown at
http://www.armydiversity.army.mil/adoGoals/index.html
The Diversity Roadmap outlines the Army’s unique approach to an enterprise-wide
diversity initiative over the next five years. Five goals provide a roadmap for moving
forward in key areas that are essential to a successful diversity initiative: leader
commitment; comprehensive talent management processes; structure and resources;
education and training; and sustainment through institutionalized inclusive practices.
These five diversity goals will ultimately be accomplished through action planning. The
development, implementation, monitoring and assessment of objectives and tasks will be
integrated into the planning process, together with periodic evaluations of progress toward
achieving the Army Diversity Vision. These Diversity Roadmap goals are linked to five of
the six essential elements of a model EEO programs.
WORK FORCE ANALYSIS
The Army workforce is diverse and includes more than 527 occupational series of
the 638 occupational series in DOD; 83% of the occupational series in DOD include Army

employees. Geographically, Army employees work in more than 2,065 General Services
Administration Geographic locations worldwide.
Based on the EEOC classifications, the Army’s total appropriated fund reportable
employee population is displayed in Figure 1. The factors that directly impacted the
population change shown for the larger employee groups that were classified by race and
ethnicity1 cannot be directly discerned from global Army data, but action items have been
created to ask subordinate reporting activities to identify EEO-related issues related to
demographic changes; the analysis of that data is ongoing.
An examination of Figure 1 illustrates the Army appropriated and non appropriated
civilian employee population change based on race and ethnicity indicators (ERI) and
Gender 1. White men, followed by White women, constitute the largest racial group in the
Army, followed by African American men and women. In addition, all EEO group
populations experienced net growth with the exception of Hispanic or Latino men and
women who experienced a net population decrease since the last annual report.
EEO Groups FY 09 FY 10 Change
White Men 110,206 117,344 7,138
White Women 58,249 61,600 3,351

The percentage of appropriated fund employees relative to the general national Civilian
Labor Force (CLF) is shown in figure 2. The percentage of White women, Hispanic or
Latino men and women are below the CLF; the representation of other EEO groups is
generally consistent with the CLF. Although the overall population has increased, the ratio
of change has not been extreme with the exception of the decrease of Hispanic or Latino
men and women. This overall evaluation does not take the place of more detailed
evaluations by occupational series and grades which may change the evaluation or the
impact of geographic dispersion of work centers.

MODEL EEO PROGRAM SUMMARY
Element A. Demonstrated commitment from agency leadership:
Strength: Policy development, training and strategic communication of the Army’s
Diversity Strategy and the execution of a plan linked with the model EEO Program six
essential elements for broader application of diversity.
Element B. Integration of EEO into the agency's strategic mission
Strengths: The Headquarters, Department of the Army EEO program is aligned in
accordance with 29 CFR Part 1614. The EEO Director, the Assistant Secretary of the Army

(Manpower & Reserve Affairs) (ASA (M&RA), reports directly to the head of the Agency
(Secretary of the Army). The EEO program operates under the direct and personal
supervision of the ASA (M&RA), as depicted in Figure 3.
The participation of the HQ EEO staff in decision points aids in the integration of
EEO Program principles, objectives and requirements into standardized organizational
models/systems. This provides a foundation for resource analysis and determination that
becomes part of the permanent command and leadership structure as standardized or
institutionalized resources.
In August 2010 a Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (DASA) for Diversity and
Leadership was appointed by the Secretary of the Army. This appointment is an elevation
in the status, visibility, agility and capability of the EEO Program, provides greater
authority to implement comprehensive action plans, policies and practice.

Element C. Management and program accountability
Strengths:
Selection to the SES and awards issued to SES and senior leaders require review by Office of the General Counsel, the Office of The Judge Advocate General, the Inspector General and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Because of EEO program modernization, the HQ EEO staff in the Diversity and Leadership Office is able to make rapid qualitative and quantitative assessments of the Army program. Using the MD 715 Reporter and iComplaints, the HQ EEO staff is able to centrally perform detailed program evaluations and this capability is replicated at the command levels. This has reduced the cost of program evaluations. The implementation of the first Army wide on-line training module for the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act training is completed and future online EEO training modules are planned. To date 112, 321 have taken NO FEAR training as compared to 11, 763 civilian employees who took the training in FY 10. That represents an increase of over 100,000 employees receiving the training in FY 2010. In FY 2011, the Army will deploy the Equal Employment Opportunity Self Assessment Tool (EEOSAT), which will provide a customer relations management focus on the analysis tools currently provided by EEOC. The advantage of EEOSAT is that it analyzes the EEO program from the customer perspective to measure the impact of the delivery of EEO services. This application will be exported to the EEOC for use by other federal agencies and become part of the EEOC evaluation system. Managers and supervisors are rated on their support of the EEO program. The automated performance evaluation system includes specific objectives that measure individual managers’ support of EEO initiatives. Future initiatives are planned that will further standardize leadership support reporting.
Deficiency:
The review of disability accommodation decisions/actions is conducted locally; there is no capability of collecting data on reasonable accommodations requests Army wide. There is no agency-wide automated tracking system in place to bring visibility to these requests or to analyze the information. However, Army policy on Reasonable Accommodation was published in 2009 and this area is being addressed. Multiple entries for disability codes into DCPDS have not been completed. Employees with more than one disability cannot have more than one disability coded in DCPDS.

Element D. Proactive prevention of unlawful discrimination
Strength:
Agency policies and practices support program operations. The program infrastructure, as
expressed in Army regulations and policies, provides visibility to EEO programs and
practices. Redress methods are taught at New Employee Orientations for both civilian and
military personnel who include military and civilian supervisors and managers.
Element E. Efficiency
Strength:
The centralization of EEO systems using iComplaints and the MD 715 Reporter provides
global oversight of program operations by integrating metrics, data, and local information,
while supporting local context and knowledge sharing.
The Army’s ability to modernize its EEO program provides flexibility in the effort to achieve
the model EEO program. The usage rate of EEO systems by EEO users approaches 90% of
the more than 400 EEO careerists.
MD 715 metrics are integrated into overall command metric systems such as the Army
wide installation status reporting and resource modeling systems.
Access to HR data is provided through standard access procedures and EEO specific data
elements are integrated into DCPDS.
Employee training is monitored and the move to more standardized online modules
assures consistency and legal compliance. The movement away from the dependency on
collateral duty to full time support provides more substantial assets to the EEO process.
Deficiency:
The Army's complaint processing program generally operates at a high level of efficiency
and compliance with EEOC guidelines and procedures, however meeting processing
timelines for investigations continue to be a challenge.

Element F. Responsiveness and Legal Compliance
Strengths:
EEO, HR, and Legal review of Army senior executive leaders’ performance awards with
recommendations to the Secretary of the Army for approval or denial.
Army’s EEO complaints are managed at each command’s programmatic level. The agency
authority for final agency decisions rests with the Office of the ASA(M&RA). The
operational report is included in the complaints analysis of this report.
FY 2010 462 REPORT ANALYSIS The number of informal and formal complaints filed against the Department of the
Army increased slightly during Fiscal Year 2010. 2,367 informal complaints were filed in
FY 2010, compared with 2,308 informal complaints in FY 2009; there were 1,320 formal
filings in FY 2010 as compared to 1,207 formal complaints filed in FY 2009.
Informal closures also increased, from 2,342 informal complaints closed during FY
2009 to 2,416 in FY 2010. The vast majority of Army pre-complaints continue to be closed
with the issuance of a Notice of Right to File a Formal Complaint; in FY 2010 only 12.3% of
informal complaints were settled as compared to 87.7% that closed with a Notice of Right
to File. The overall percentage of informal complaints which resulted in the filing of a
formal complaint remained around the 50% level, as it has for several years.
The top two issues raised in formal complaints process in FY 2010, as shown in
Figure 4, were harassment (non-sexual) and promotion/non-selection, the same as in the
previous two fiscal years.

The top two bases were also the same as in years past, reprisal and race (black) as shown
in Figure 5. Although it appears that the number of cases filed is incongruent with the
issues and bases, complainants may file on more than one basis and multiple issues; there
is not a 1-1 relationship between the number of complainants and the number of issues
and bases.

Figure 5
A total of 1,301 formal complaints were closed by the Army in FY 2010, continuing the
trend of small increases in closures from the 1,196 cases closed during FY 2008 and 1,222
in FY 2009. Closure by settlement remained the most common type of formal closure at
41.5%, followed by dismissals at 19.6%. 12.7% of complaints were withdrawn. Final
Agency Orders with an Administrative Judge (AJ) Decision increased from 9.7% to 10.9%,
and while the total number of Final Agency Decisions (FADs) without an AJ decision varied
by only 2, the overall increase in closures led to a decrease in percentage from 17.7% in FY
2009 to 16.4% in FY 2010. The average days taken to issue a FAD without an AJ decision
was 59.47, just below the regulatory requirement of 60 days.
There were 6 findings issued by the Army with an AJ decision, in line with the
number of AJ findings received in FY 2009, and an additional 7 findings issued in merit
FADs without an AJ decision; however, findings overall accounted for only 1.0% of formal
FY 2010 closures. As seen in the new Part IVB of the report, the issues involved in findings
are varied and without any identifiable trend or commonality. The six merit FAD findings
involving race (black) and harassment (non-sexual) were related complaints from
individuals in the same organization and location – findings had been issued in 9 of these
related complaints in FY 2009, and the remainder of the complaints was settled in FY 2010.
That settlement, including compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees, accounts for much
of the $1.2 million dollar increase in monetary benefits paid in formal complaints as
reported in Part VII (please refer to the FY 2009 and FY 2010 reports for the Army Corps of
EEOC FORM
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
FEDERAL AGENCY ANNUAL EEO PROGRAM STATUS REPORT
Headquarters Department of the Army Page 13 of 98
Engineers subcomponent). Setting those related findings aside, reprisal remained the most
common basis for a finding, followed closely by disability (physical) and race (black).
A total of 1,066 formal complaints were still open at the close of FY 2010. Nearly all
were either pending investigation (522) or pending a hearing before an Administrative
Judge (425). Of the 100 cases reported as pending the complainant’s post-investigative
election or a Final Agency Decision/Action the Army’s complaint tracking database
indicated that 49 complaints were pending the complainant’s election and 51 were pending
final action.
The Army completed 546 investigations in FY 2010, nearly 100 more than in FY
2009 (457 investigations), and in a reduced timeframe of 202.53 days on average as
compared to 213.67 days in the previous year. The percentage of Army investigations
considered timely also increased from 44.4% in FY 2009 to 52.7% in FY 2010. Notably,
those investigations which were completed in 180 days or less were actually concluded in
an average of 151.33 days, almost a full month below the regulatory requirement. Army
plans to analyze the data from these cases for trends or commonalities which may
contribute to the success of the investigative process. Best practices will be identified and
shared with other Army activities to reduce investigative timeframes in FY 2011.
The acceptance rate for ADR in pre-complaints increased slightly for the third
consecutive year, increasing from 50.5% in FY 2009 to 53.3% in FY 2010. This also
increased the ADR participation rate, though it remains very low with only 25.4% of all
closed informal complaints having entered the ADR process. ADR settlements also
increased slightly in FY 2010, with 223 pre-complaints in which ADR was accepted closing
with a settlement for an ADR resolution rate of 36.4% - identical to the resolution rate in
the previous fiscal year. In spite of these mild improvements ADR settlements totaled only
9.2% of all FY 2010 pre-complaint closures. ADR was offered in only 299 complaints in the
formal stage during FY 2010, and accepted in 194, for an acceptance rate of 64.9% and a
participation rate of 23% of all formal complaints filed2, which meant that 146 of those
2 These numbers were calculated out of Army’s own complaint tracking database, looking at all formal
complaints in which ADR was offered during FY 2010, regardless of their status at the end of the fiscal year. As of the FY 2006 462 reports, Part XI “Formal ADR Activities” only gives ADR participation data for those complaints which closed during the fiscal year. As this excludes all ADR activity during FY 2010 in complaints which did not close during the fiscal year, and includes ADR activity which took place in previous fiscal years in complaints which happened to close in FY 2010, most likely not as a result of any FY 2010 ADR activity, Army does not believe that Part XI as it is now composed accurately reflects the work of Army’s ADR programs in the formal stage during the course of FY 2010. Therefore, in order to evaluate the performance of Army’s ADR programs during FY 2010 for this MD 715 report, Army has relied on its
EEOC FORM
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
FEDERAL AGENCY ANNUAL EEO PROGRAM STATUS REPORT
Headquarters Department of the Army Page 14 of 98
complaints, or 75.3%, were closed with a settlement, maintaining Army’s historically high
resolution rate for formal ADR but accounting for only 11.2% of all FY 2010 formal
closures. The Army continues to be concerned with the low number of complaints in which
ADR is offered and the high number of complainants rejecting offers of ADR, particularly in
the pre-complaint stage, and is currently working to finalize and implement an ADR policy
to encourage greater understanding and utilization of ADR in EEO complaints.
Overall, the Department of the Army’s complaints processing in FY 2010 showed
significant improvement in several key areas; the investigative process and the issuance of
merit FADs without an AJ decision. We are continuing to work to maintain this progress in
FY 2011.
In response to the growing need to resolve workplace disputes throughout Army,
the Army Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program Office, located in the Office of the
Army General Counsel, was established in 2008 to promote and encourage the use of ADR
techniques in Army workplace and contract disputes, through training and other initiatives.
During FY 10 the ADR Program Office conducted a variety of ADR/mediation training and
education programs to promote the use of early conflict resolution in workplace disputes,
including EEO complaints. Eight 40-hour Basic Mediation Courses were conducted at the
installation level to develop local collateral duty Army mediators and local ADR programs
to assist in workplace matters. The audiences for these courses included EEO and Human
Resource professionals, labor counselors, union officials and managers and employees
representing many career fields across the Army. Briefings for Garrison Commanders and
Leaders on the strategic use of ADR methods in workplace disputes to promote primary
mission accomplishment were also conducted at these installations.
During FY 10, the Army ADR Office developed and delivered ADR education
programs tailored to a variety of Army audiences to promote ADR utilization. The ADR
Program Office conducted four ADR briefings at the Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center
and School for Army attorneys to promote the use of ADR methods in workplace disputes.
Five ADR briefings were conducted at the Army Civilian Human Resources Agency to
educate Army Human Resource professionals on the benefits of ADR and how to access
Army ADR resources for early dispute resolution. An ADR and negotiation course was

Program Evaluation Summary
The Army’s path to the model EEO program is measured in a number of ways. The
EEOC MD 715 self assessment requirements are provided on MD 715 Form G and
summarized in Table 1. The scores are the aggregation of all reporting Army offices and is
based on the six essentials for a Model EEO Program. Army EEO offices rate themselves and
scores are aggregated through the EEO reporting hierarchy. Overall, the scores indicate
that the Army is 94% compliant with MD 715 requirements; this assessment does not
account for command and local circumstances.

Table 1
Each year’s score is compared to previous years to determine the net difference expressed
as the median score between years. This quantifies the progress made between reporting
years. The six essential elements are listed followed by a discussion of the Army scores.
A. Demonstrated commitment from agency leadership B. Integration of EEO into the agency's strategic mission C. Management and program accountability D. Proactive prevention of unlawful discrimination E. Efficiency; and F. Responsiveness and legal compliance.
The scores vary by command, but the Army wide scores indicate that the Army’s failure to publish and distribute an agency policy and provide a state of the agency briefing lowered the Army score by 3% for Essential Element A, Demonstrated Commitment From Agency Leadership. Improvements in the management of the data collection and complaints processing raised the score on Element D, Proactive Prevention of Unlawful

Discrimination, by 11%. Of all the essential elements, 58% of all deficiencies centered in Elements B, within the compliance indicator concerning sufficient budget support and Element E’s compliance indicator concerning staffing.
TRIGGERS
Within the statistical profiles of major EEO groups, the participation rate of White and African American men and women meets most statistical expectations compared to the CLF except where noted. With the exception of senior positions in the intelligence community, the participation rate of African American men in the senior executive service is at parity with the CLF. The workforce analysis that follows identified three major triggers:
1. The impact of the selection process on African American men in officials and
managers and professionals pay grade GS 12-15 to determine if there is
statistical significance between the referral and selection rates.
2. The lower than expected participation rates for Hispanic or Latinos based
upon the CLF in pay grades GS 12-15 and the senior executive service and the
impact of the senior executive service developmental process on Hispanic or
Latinos’ participation rates.
3. The lower than expected participation rates of women within individual EEO
groups based upon the CLF, in grades GS 12-15 and the senior executive
service.

STRATEGY FOR FY 2011
The overarching strategy for FY 2011 will focus on the continuation of strategic
interactions with the Army staff, commands and total Army community. To that end, three
strategic objectives will be used to strengthen staff and command relationships that result
in continued progress in the implementation of a “Model EEO program”.
Continue to strategically communicate, market, train and educate Army
personnel on the Army Diversity Road Map as a management tool for senior
leaders, commanders, and the Army staff.
Improve goal oriented relationships with functional career program
managers, senior leader developers and other human capital officials to align
the Army’s human capital implementation guidelines in ways that strengthen
the value system to embed diversity into policy and practice.
Reinforce the professional development of diversity professionals to meet the transformation challenges identified.

EEO Plan To Attain the Essential Elements of a Model EEO Program
FY 2010 ESSENTIAL ELEMENT E - EFFICIENCY AR
STATEMENT of MODEL PROGRAM ESSENTIAL ELEMENT DEFICIENCY:
Requires that the agency head ensure that there are effective systems in place for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of the agency's EEO Programs as well as an efficient and fair dispute resolution process.: Deficiency: Department of the Army regulations require completion of investigations of formal complaints of discrimination within 180 days of the date the formal complaint was filed; the Army average in FY 2010 was 202.53 days.
OBJECTIVE: To average less than 180 days for the completion of an investigation
RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL: Director, EEO Compliance and Complaints Review
DATE OBJECTIVE INITIATED: 12/1/2010
TARGET DATE FOR COMPLETION OF OBJECTIVE:
12/1/2011
PLANNED ACTIVITIES TOWARD COMPLETION OF OBJECTIVE: TARGET DATE (Must be specific)
Revision of the Army regulation governing complaints processing, incorporating improved processes and best practices which resulted in reductions in processing time.
12/1/2011
REPORT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS and MODIFICATIONS TO OBJECTIVE: TARGET DATE (Must be specific)
Army’s average investigation processing time decreased from 213.67 days in FY 2009 to 202.53 in FY 2010. Notably, the 43% of Army investigations which were completed in less than 180 days were actually concluded in an average of 151.33 days, nearly a full month below the regulatory requirement. Army is currently evaluating the data behind this statistic for best practices which could be expanded Army-wide. Staffing shortages at the Department of Defense, Investigations and Resolutions Division continue to negatively impact the timely availability of investigators. Also, the revised regulation has been delayed by additional Army organizational changes. As both situations are remedied, we hope to gradually increase the use of successful procedures and complete the revisions to the regulation.

EEO Plan To Eliminate Identified Barrier
FY 2010, AR
STATEMENT OF CONDITION THAT WAS A TRIGGER FOR A POTENTIAL BARRIER:
The population data indicates that while pay plan ES shows a more diverse demographic, that the intelligence play plans do not reflect the same diversity shown in the ES pay plan.
BARRIER ANALYSIS Although ES positions comprise the largest group of senior executives, and dominated by non minority men, with the exception of Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander men and women, every EEO group is represented. However, The senior positions in the intelligence community (IE and IP) have seven White women and one Hispanic or Latino man within its 47 positions; the majority of positions are held by non minority men. As figure 38 indicates, that 73% of the positions in pay plan ES are held by non minority men, that 82% of the positions in IE are held by non minority men.
STATEMENT OF IDENTIFIED BARRIER:
Barriers specifically not identified.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the senior level appointment process to include a range of policies that impact the feeder group developmental process to determine the barriers to a greater degree of senior level diversification

The nine job category titles are:
- Officials and Managers - Occupations requiring administrative and managerial
personnel who set broad policies, exercise overall responsibility for execution of these
policies, and direct individual offices, programs, divisions or other units or special
phases of an agency's operations. In the federal sector, this category is further
broken out into four sub-categories: (1) Executive/Senior-Level,(2)Mid-Level,(3)
First-Level and (4)Other . When an employee is classified as a supervisor or
manager, that employee should be placed in the Officials and Managers category
rather than in the category in the crosswalk that they would otherwise be placed in

based on their OPM occupational code. Those employees classified as supervisors or
managers who are at the GS-12 level or below should be placed in the First-Level
sub-category of Officials and Managers, those at the GS-13 or 14 should be in the
Mid-Level sub-category and those at GS-15 or in the SES should be in the
Executive/Senior-Level sub-category. An agency may also choose to place
employees who have significant policy-making responsibilities, but do not supervise
other employees, in these three sub-categories. The fourth sub-category, called
"Other” contains employees in a number of different occupations which are primarily

DATABASE NOTES
1. The data for this report reflects the organization as of 1 October 2010. The HR database
of record, the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS), was used to obtain the
data. It is recognized that the HR database contains anomalies that affect data reporting.
The variance didn't appear severe enough to affect the calculations.
2. Grade designations are the same ones used in DCPDS based on federal guidelines. Senior
individuals are defined as those members of the Senior Executive Service or equivalent,
such as all pay plans that start with an “E”, or “I”, pay plan “ST” and some positions in
the “AD” category. Data for Pay plan “EX” are excluded.
3. Some of the data codes used by EEOC vary from those in the HR data system. Many of
the “B” series data tables will not sum to the “A” series data tables. In addition, many of
the tables that capture data on RNO groups, because of the variety of pay plans used in
Army do not fit into the aspects of “GS” or “Wage Grade” equivalents.

ANALYSIS OF ARMY MID LEVEL AND SENIOR LEVEL
POSITIONS
This section provides the detailed workforce analysis on the major EEOC employee
categories and contains the data points used to identify the programmatic triggers and
form the basis for future barrier analysis. As previously mentioned, the scope of the Army’s
operations in the United States and overseas is impacted the conduct of two major wars
and other conflicts. The fluctuation in the civilian population is driven in large part by the
requirement to support specific national defense goals and changing requirements.
The Army workforce is socially diverse and includes more than 527 occupational
series of the 638 occupational series in DOD; 83% of the occupational series in DOD include
Army employees. Geographically, Army employees work in more than 2,065 GSA locations
worldwide. The number of employees working in the EEOC categories is shown below in
figure 6.

The majority of employees work in positions classified by the US Census Bureau as
officials and managers3 or professional4; collectively these two categories are 56% of the
Army workforce. The analysis in this appendix will focus on the demographic distribution
of officials and managers and professional employees in the GS 12 through GS 15 categories
as GS employees represent 65% of the employee population of 61 pay plans. The FY10
transition of employees out of NSPS impacted the demographics of the Army in that the
number of GS employees increased, while the number of pay banded employees decreased;
no analysis on the NSPS impact will be provided as the balance of employees still under
NSPS will be transitioned out of NSPS by FY 115. There are still other pay plans in pay
banded occupations, including employees in NSPS Y series pay plans as shown in figure 7

The demographic analysis of this report will be focus on employees in the
appropriated fund general schedule or equivalent pay groups. The demarcation between
temporary and permanent employees, while set in policy, is transparent in today’s civilian
workforce. The implementation of policy and programs is such that regardless of an
employee’s career status, all members of the civilian workforce are affected by the
implementation of civil rights policy and therefore will have access to EEO services.
GENERAL ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICANT POOL

The comparison of the percentage of employees and percentage of application
submission and referral rate to the general CLF, as shown in figure 9, indicates that with
the exception of Hispanic or Latino men and women, most of the members of the other EEO
groups submit job applications at a rate less than their corresponding CLF. The selection
rate is more closely aligned to the employee population percentage even though the
difference between the application rate and referral rate for the largest EEO groups is
approximately 2%.

When the number of applications submitted is compared to the CLF to determine the
number of applications and referrals expected from each EEO group, the number of
submissions from white men is slightly less than expected at 174, 468 while the number of
application submissions from white women is 801,152 less than expected. The data in
figure 10 shows that the number of submissions from African American men and women
surpasses expectations compared to the CLF. The number of application submissions from
Hispanic or Latino men is 107, 752 less than expected while the number of application
submissions from Hispanic or Latino women was 89, 410 less than expected. The number
of application submissions from Asian men as 11,505 more than expected, while the
number of applications from Asian women was 16, 566 less than expected. The number of
application submissions from Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander men and women
was 2,000 applications more than expected, while the number of applications submitted by
American Indian or Alaska Native men and women was 2,497 and 4,719 less than expected.
Selection rates were not subjected to the comparison with the CLF as selection rates are
outside of the definition of the CLF and in addition should represent a randomized process.

The analysis of data indicating the percentage of those applications that were
referred shows that overall the median percentage of the applications submitted that were
referred for selection was 17.81%. Comparatively, 17.24 % of applications submitted by
white men were referred for selection, while 14.59% of the applications submitted by
White women were referred for selection. Of the EEO groups with large populations,
African American men and women had the highest rate of applications submitted that were
referred with 22.25% and 19.35% respectively. The submission to referral rate for
Hispanic or Latino men and women were below the median rate of 17.81%.
The overall median percentage rate that applications that were referred resulted in
selection was 0.20%. The percentage of those who applied for positions and were referred,
as shown in figure 11, indicates that of the EEO groups with the larger populations, that
African American men and women who applied for positions were referred at a higher rate
than members of the other large EEO groups. The data shows that 22.25% of the
applications received from African American men and 19.35% of African American women
were referred for selection when compared to the overall median rate of 17.81%.
Comparatively, women in larger EEO groups that applied were referred at a rate less than
men within the same EEO group.

The median rate of applications that were referred to the selection process was
0.20%. The percentage of applications referred to the selection process from white men
was 3.44% as figure 11 indicates, followed by white women. Even though 22.5% of
applications from African American Men and women were the highest of any of the large
EEO groups, the applications referred for selection were 0.67% and 0.78% respectively.
The difference in the rates between White men and African American men was 2.76% and
1.12% between White women and African American women. The difference was greater
for other members of the larger EEO groups and White men and women even though the
average rate among the larger EEO groups was 1.05%.
Summary
The general applicant pool data infers that if the percentage of applications received
from EEO groups is within or greater than the expected parameters of the CLF, then the
overall Army population will begin to reflect the CLF. Adverse impact analysis was not
performed because the context within which the selection process occurred is controlled
by local not Army wide circumstances. There appears to be no barriers to the general
applicant data except that the selection rate data requires greater data mining in order to
find out if there are any underlying issues.
GS 12-15 POPULATION ANALYSIS
The GS 12 – 15 data analysis is provided because this grade group constitutes the
primary professional path for movement into the primary leadership population. The
analysis will include an analysis of the GS 12-15 population and associated data groups to

When compared to the CLF, figure 13 shows how each EEO group compares with
the CLF by grade. At grade 12, the population of White women, Hispanic or Latino men and
women are less than expected, while the population the other EEO groups in pay grade 13
are as expected. From grade 13 to grade 15, the evaluation of the populations by grade and
compared to the CLF changes, except for White men; that population remains as expected
while the population expectations of other EEO groups change depending on the pay grade.

Based on the distribution of EEO groups using the CLF, the expected population is
also shown in figure 14. The number of White men would expectedly be smaller while the
number of employees in other EEO groups would expectedly be larger or smaller,
depending on the pay grade. At the GS 12 level, the number of White women and Hispanic
or Latino men and women would be larger if the population matched the CLF while the
population of other EEO groups would be smaller.

Figure 14
Statistics reflecting the number of employees in particular categories on an Army-
wide basis does not account for local conditions that impact recruitment and retention
strategies. For example, although the Army population of Hispanic or Latino employees is
less than expected based upon the CLF, this evaluation does not reflect local conditions
found in other Army locations. This means that coordinated Army-wide strategies related
to recruitment and retention of Hispanic or Latino men and women has to include the
impact of local hiring conditions. To demonstrate this point, the sample of Hispanic or
Latino employee populations shown in figure 15 reflects the variation in local populations
of Hispanic or Latino employees in the locations shown. The CLF for locations in Texas and
New Mexico have a higher CLF than employees in Georgia, and therefore different
strategies might need to be employed in each state. Even within the same state, the CLF
populations vary widely. These illustrate a need to increase the visibility of local issues
because the culmination of those issues impacts coordinated Army-wide efforts.

SUPERVISORS
The overall population of supervisors in pay grades GS 12-15 is depicted in figure
16. This population includes supervisors in all EEOC categories and is not limited to the
officials and managers category. The general CLF is used since the population includes
more than officials and managers or professionals. White men comprise the largest EEO
population of supervisors in grades 12 – 15, followed by White women and African
Americans, Hispanic or Latino men and women as well as members of other EEO groups.

significantly higher than the CLF. The percentage of applications received from members of
other EEO groups varied from the CLF, but the percentage of variation of applications
received from White men was significantly higher. This infers that the population
representation of EEO groups is impacted by the application process. For example, the
general CLF for Hispanic or Latino s is 10.7%, but percentage of applications received from
Hispanic or Latino s averaged 2.86% for Hispanic or Latino men and 1.12% for Hispanic or

Figure 19
The percentage of applications referred by EEO group is shown in figure 20. The
highest number of referrals was for White men and whose referral rate was higher than the
CLF. The CLF is used as a standard of comparison because of the automated nature of
Resumix which allows automated referral list generation. The percentage of White women
referred was higher than the rate of African American men and women, but still below the
general CLF. The percentage of men being referred was generally higher than their
corresponding CLF compared to the referral rate for women which was generally lower
than their corresponding CLF. The referral rate for Hispanic or Latino men and women was
lower than their corresponding CLF, but the referral rate for Asian men was higher than
their CLF. The referral rate for American Indian or Alaska Native men was marginally
higher than their CLF.

number of referrals was for white men as well as the largest number of selections. No
predictors are used to project the number of selections expected because of the random
nature of the selection process. It is noted that the difference in the number of referrals
between White women and African Americans is measured in thousands while the
difference in referrals between White men and any other group is measured in tens of
thousands. Nearly half of the referrals were for White men.

Figure 21
The percentage of selections for EEO groups is shown in figure 22. Predictably, the
largest number of selections made at all grade levels was for White men. The predictability
of this data stems from applicant and referral data that indicates that White men are the
largest group of applicants and referees. The selection rate for White women is the second
highest, followed by African American women. Although African American men applied and
were referred at a rate higher than African American men, African American women were
selected at a higher rate.

Figure 22
The applicant pool data infers that greater analysis should be performed on the
applicant data for EEO groups in grades 12-15. The data indicating that White men were
selected at a rate higher than any other group appears to be based on the data indicating
that White men are the largest group of applicants and therefore the largest group of those
referred. The primary trigger is that the selection rate for African American men is lower
than for groups that had a lower rate of applications and referrals. In addition, the
application rate for Hispanic or Latino men and women is less than expected based upon
the CLF which will require analysis of the outreach process to identify barriers within the
application process.
OFFICIALS AND MANAGERS
Officials and managers comprise the largest population of employees within the
nine EEOC categories. This category, as defined by EEOC, includes administrative and
managerial personnel who set broad policies, exercise overall responsibility for execution
of these policies, and direct individual offices, programs, divisions or other units or special
phases of an agency's operations. The analysis of this population will use the nationwide
officials and managers CLF rather than the general CLF.
The population of employees classified as officials and managers in pay grades GS
12-15 is show in figure 23. The population representation changes as the grades increase.
The pay plans ES and IE, the traditional senior executive service and intelligence executives
are included in this data. The percentage of white men in the GS 12 and 13 pay grades is
less than expected, while the representation of white men at the GS 14, 15, and SES level is
greater than expected based upon the officials and managers CLF. The representation of
African-American men and women is greater than expected at all grade levels. The
representation of the Hispanic or Latino men and women is lower than expected at all

grade levels as well as in the senior executive service. The percentage of Asian men is less
than expected, except at the GS 14 and senior executive level. The percentages of
individuals in the smaller populations of EEO groups are generally less than expected, with
the exception of American Indian or Alaska Native men and women.

Figure 23
The population of EEO groups is shown in figure 24. Based on the relationship with
the civilian labor force statistic for officials and managers, the expected population is also
depicted in figure 25. The population of white men relative to their expected population
indicates that at all grade levels expected population of white men is much lower than the
actual population. The population of African-American men meets the expectation of the
officials and managers category, while the population of African-American women meets
the population expectations with the exception of the Senior Executive Service (SES) and
intelligence executives. The population of Hispanic or Latino s and Asian men and women
does not meet the population expected for officials and managers. The population of the
smaller EEO groups varies relative to the officials and managers civilian labor force statistic

The distribution of EEO groups in supervisory positions within the officials and
managers category is shown in figure 25. The percentage of white men in supervisory
positions exceeds the officials and managers CLF. The representation of African-American
men and women exceeds the officials and managers expect CLF at all grade levels. Hispanic
or Latino men and women meet or exceed this CLF expectation only in grades GS 12 and
13; they did not meet the CLF expectation in grades 14 and 15. Asian men and women meet
the CLF expectation only in grade 12. The remaining EEO group representations meet the
CLF expectations, but the populations are small.

population of white men in supervisory positions is less than the expected population of
officials and managers at the GS 12 level; however, the population of white men in
supervisory positions in grades 13 through 15 is greater than expected. The population of
white women in supervisory positions is less than expected in all pay grades, while the
population of African-Americans in supervisory positions is greater than expected. The
number of Hispanic or Latino men in pay grades GS 12 is greater than expected, but is less
than expected in all other pay grades. The number of Hispanic or Latino women is less than
expected in all supervisory pay grades. The population of Asian men in supervisory
positions is less than expected in all pay grades, but the population of Asian women meets
the expectations in pay grades 12 and 13. The number of individuals in the remaining EEO
groups tends to meet the expected population because of the small civilian labor force
statistic.

The number of applications received for positions in the officials and managers
category is shown on figure 28. In addition, the number of applications expected based on
the relationship with the officials and managers CLF is also shown in figure 27. Within each
grade level, the largest number of applications received was from white men; the numbers
of applications received from African-American men were nearly as many as those received
from white women in most grade levels. For example, in pay grades 12, 13 and 14, the
number of applications received from African-American men was greater than those
received from White women. The exception was a great 15 in which the number of
applications received from White women exceeded those of African-American men.
The number of applications received from white men exceeded the expectations in
all pay grades, while the number of applications received from White women was
significantly less than expected. At all grade levels, the number of applications received
from African-Americans exceeded expectations. With the exception of pay grade 15, the
number of applications received from Hispanic or Latino men exceeded the expectations at
all grade levels. The applications received from Asian men at grade 12 and 13 exceeded
expectations, but fell below expectations at grades 14 and 15.

The data in figure 29 shows that of EEO groups with larger populations, Asian men
and women were the largest group that applied for positions and were subsequently
referred, followed by White women and African-American women. This infers that
members of these groups would be selected at a rate proportional to their referral rate. The
data indicates that within the large EEO groups that the percentage of individuals being
referred is more than 25%.

Officials and Managers – Summary
The relationship between the applicant pool and EEO group population infers that,
as with the population overall, that a key element in the representation of EEO groups is
maintaining a well supplied pool of qualified individuals. Exact statistical tests to show
specific significance levels should be conducted at the operational level to validate this
inference. Because this category contains occupational series with very specific special
occupational codes, more specific analysis can be conducted on this category of series to
determine relationships between populations and supporting applicant pool data. Using
this type of analysis on the general population does not provide the appropriate statistical
controls and specificity needed to provide answers that lead to supportable strategies.
This means that problem identification is one of the first steps to be implemented in the

development of an over arching strategy that addresses specific barriers that may be
identified.
Three triggers have been identified: the relationship between African-American
men being referred for selection and their selection rate, the less than expected application
rate of white women based upon the CLF, and the representation of Hispanic or Latino men
and women not only in the specific job categories, but in the applicant pool.
Professionals
The population of those individuals classified as professionals within the EEOC
categories in pay grades 12 to 15 is depicted in figure 31. This group is the second largest
employee group in the Army. This group includes occupations that normally require formal
education as a basic job qualification. White men and women are the largest EEO groups
within this category, followed by African-American men and women. Asian men and
women are the third largest EEO group within this category, followed by Hispanic or Latino
men and women which of the fourth-largest population. The percentage of white men is
greater than the professional civilian labor force statistic. The percentage of African-
American men and women is also greater than the civilian labor force statistic, while the
percentage of White women in all pay grades is lower than the civilian labor force statistic.
The percentage of Hispanic or Latino s and Asians relative to the professional CLF varies by
pay grade.

The population of professional employees in pay grades 12 through 15 is shown in

with African-American men and women, Hispanic or Latino and Asian men, exceed their
population expectations based upon the professional CLF depending on the pay grade.
White women comprise the next largest group, but do not exceed their population
expectations. Because the civilian labor force statistic for the remaining EEO groups is
small, the population expectations reflect a smaller range of population expectations. The
expected population of white women is larger than expected population of white men and
of any other EEO group. This is directly related to the civilian labor force statistic for white
women, which is 42%, while the civilian labor force statistic for white men is 37%.

Professionals – Applicant Pool Analysis
The applicant pool data for professional positions in grades 12-15 is shown in figure
33. The data shows that the majority of the applications received were from White men,
followed by African American men and women. When compared to the professional CLF,
White men, followed by African American men, had the highest average number of
applications submitted. The average submission rates exceed the CLF for all men’s groups
and African American women, while the average application rate for women was generally
less than expected.

Figure 37 shows that on average there is variation in the referral and selection rates
between EEO groups. For example, the average referral rate for White men is 48%, while
the average selection rate was 55% which was 7% more than their average referral rate.
The average referral rate for White women was 12% while the average selection rate as
16% with a difference of almost 4% between their average referral and selection rates.
African American men, on average, comprised 11% of those referred but their selection
rate were -5% when their average referral and selection rates were compared. The
comparisons of rates from other groups vary but most other EEO group referral to
selection rate differences were less than their referral rates.

Further analysis indicates that Hispanic or Latino men, on average, who applied for
positions were referred at the highest rate of the large EEO groups, followed by Asian men.
The rate of those who applied and were referred varied by grade; on average 30% of the
applications were referred. The applications of African American men were referred on
average 25%; at the GS 12 level, Asian men were referred almost 40% of the time but at
grades 14-15, the referral rate was less than the average.

Supervisors
The population percentage distribution of supervisors in the professionals category
is shown in figure 40. The majority of supervisors are White men followed by White
women across all pay grades, although the expected population of white women exceeds
the expected population of white men. This is because the CLF for white women is 42%,
while the CLF for white men is 37%. This means that white women would have the largest
population if that population were based on matching the CLF.

Figure 41
Professional Category – Summary
The population of employees in the professional categories is dominated by White
men. The applicant pool data infers that because White men are the largest group of
applicants, exceeded their expected applicant pool population, that there is a relationship
between the applicant pool and the resulting population. Although the CLF statistic for
White women is larger than the CLF statistic for White men, the applicant data indicates on
average White men apply for professional positions at a rate more than 3 times that of
White women. The rate that White men who apply for positions are referred is controlled
in part by the volume of applications received from this group. It appears that when
applications from an EEO group exceed the expected distribution based upon the CLF, that
group establishes a statistical expectation that the selection rate would follow. This theory
was not validated because of the variation in selection rates experienced by the EEO groups
other than White men and women. This establishes a trigger to examine the relationship
between the referral and selection rate by examining the underlying occupational series
data to find out if specific barriers exist.
The federal initiatives to focus on STEM6 occupational series creates visibility to find
out if STEM based initiatives with minority colleges and universities can be successful.
However, the analysis in this report focuses on positions above the entry level. This means
that STEM initiatives should focus on workplace issues of existing employees as well as
entry level positions.
Senior Level Positions
The population of individuals in senior level positions is shown in figure 42. The pay
plans include executive service (ES), intelligence executives (IE), intelligence professionals
(IP), science and technology positions (ST), and senior level positions (SL). No applicant
pool analysis is provided because the data was not available. There is a common
assumption that the feeder pool into these positions is created by GS 14 and 15 positions.
The population of senior executives is small relative to the overall population of the Army.
Although a number of senior executives are appointed from the Army pool of GS 14 and 15
employees, a number of these positions are filled with individuals from outside the Army.

Because the applicant pool data is not available, the assumption that the GS 14 and 15
positions provide a substantial feeder pool into these positions cannot be tested.
Even though these positions include occupational series that are normally classified
in other EEOC categories, the basis of comparison is the officials and managers civilian
labor force statistic. The population within each pay plan is depicted in figure 42. The
percentages within each pay plan are shown in figure 43, while the expected population is
shown in figure 44. White men are the largest population within each pay plan, followed by
white women and African-American men. Although the ES positions comprise the largest
group, and is dominated by white men, with the exception of Native Hawaiian or Other
Pacific Islander men and women, every EEO group is represented. However, the positions
in the intelligence community (IE and IP) have seven white women and one Hispanic or
Latino man within its 47 positions. As figure 43 indicates, 73% of the positions in pay plan
ES are held by white men, 82% of the positions in IE are held by white men.

population of White men is greater than expected, which impacts the population of other

Senior Executive Summary
The population analysis of the senior executive positions is incomplete because the
applicant pool data was not available. Without this information it becomes difficult to
validate the relationship between the feeder groups and senior executive appointments.
The population data indicates that while pay plans ES shows a more diverse demographic,
that the intelligence play plans do not reflect the diversity that the ES pay plans do. This
establishes a trigger to examine the senior level appointment process to include a range of
policies that impact the feeder group developmental process to determine the barriers to a
greater degree of senior level diversification.
Non Appropriated Fund Employees
The population of employees in non foreign national non appropriated fund
positions is shown in figure 45. Many NAF positions mirror the appropriated fund while
supporting basic operations in the US and overseas. Using the general CLF, the expected
population is provided. The large number of employees classified as more than one racial
group is due to the total and global unavailability of self identification capability at various
work sites; this problem is being corrected. The data also indicates net losses in population
in NAF positions, with a net loss of 408 employees.

The data summarizing the Army workforce by education is provided to demonstrate
the formal education EEO groups bring to their workplace experience. The data in figure
47 is the demographic distribution of Army employees who have one or more years of
formal college education when aligned with the total population of the individual EEO
group. The majority of employees with degrees ranging from bachelors degree to doctorate
degrees are White men followed by White women. As the data in figure 48 indicates, White
men are 45% of the total Army population and represent nearly 49% o those with a degree,
followed by White women, African Americans, and Hispanic or Latino s; at the doctorate
level White men and women hold more doctorate degrees, followed by Asians and African
Americans.

The information in figure 49 indicates that within each educational level for each
EEO group the proportion of degrees held by each group tends to be higher than their
overall workforce percentage. Of the degrees held by White men, 61% are bachelor’s
degrees, 31% are master’s degrees and 6% are at the doctoral level. A similar trend is
evident for White women and African Americans. The proportion of doctorate degrees for
African American and Hispanic or Latino men and women tends to drop off at 2% while the
portion of doctorate degrees increases significantly for Asian men and women.

Educational Summary
The educational data indicates that with the exception of doctoral degrees, the
educational attainment by EEO groups tend to cluster in patterns that emulate their
population percentages. This may be due to the educational requirements for professional
positions or the Army culture that views formal education as a professional additive. Even
though OPM guidelines do not require formal education in the majority of occupational
series, the percentage of Army employees with formal degrees closes matches their
percentage in the overall population. This does not create any triggers but indicates that
data analysis of identified triggers should examine the role formal education plays in the
applicant selection process for pay grades 12 through 15.

Individuals with Disabilities (IWD) Program
The Army’s IWD program continues to evolve to support civilian employees as well
as service members. A number of command activities illustrate the outreach efforts
undertaken by various commands. One of the areas of interest is the development of
enterprise software to track provision of reasonable accommodations for employees. This
will provide greater visibility to the Army’s effort to support individuals with disabilities.
The requirement development was begun during this reporting period. In addition, the
development of online training modules for EEO careerists and the general workforce are
being planned. The software development is moving through the secondary requirements
phase towards design and prototype testing.
The Army effort to support the employment of persons with disabilities achieved
mixed results. The proportion of persons with disabilities increased as the Army
population increased. The DOD goal that 9% the Army population should include persons
with disabilities was met, but the EEOC guideline of 2% for persons with targeted
disabilities was not met as shown in figure 50. Absent a validated CLF for persons with
disabilities, it is difficult to judge whether or not Army has been able to reach out to the
available population of persons with disabilities.

The data in figure 55 shows the distributions of the applicant pool based on the DOD
and EEOC goals for persons with disabilities. The application of the DOD 9% goal for
persons with disabilities would generate an expected result of 186k applicants having
disabilities, the actual number of applicants with disabilities was 250k as shown in figure
57; therefore the DOD goal was met. The number expected to be referred was 45k and the
Army’s actual number referred was almost 65k, therefore the goal was met. The number
expected to be selected was 1,989, and the actual number selected in Army was 2,258;
therefore the goal was met.
The evaluation of the goals accomplished by the Army for applicants with targeted
disabilities indicates that the EEOC goal was met, as shown in figure 58. The EEOC goal is
2%, which meant that the expected number of applicants with targeted disabilities is 5k,
the actual number of Army applicants with targeted disabilities just over 12k; the Army
goal for applicants was met. The expected number of persons referred was 1.3k, the actual
number referred was 2.9k; the Army goal was met. The goal for selections generated an
expectation that 45 persons would have been selected and the Army selected 109; the
selection goal was met.

The population of persons with disabilities is multidimensional. The data in figure

origin (RNO). There is no CLF for this data and no expected numbers were calculated. The
data shows that White men and women, followed by African American Men were the
largest population of persons with disabilities and targeted disabilities. This is expected
since these EEO groups are also the largest employee population.

A major initiative in the Army’s persons with disabilities program is the
management of the efforts to support disabled veterans not only in employment efforts, but
as part of the overarching program for persons with disabilities. The population of veterans
is predictably large based on the Army mission. The data in figure 58 shows that slightly
more than 51% of Army veterans are white men followed by White women and African
American men and women.

Command Summaries
The following information provides a sampling of the major accomplishments
provided by Army commands.
HQ Army Material Command (AMC)
Conducted college recruitment with 25 colleges in FY 10. Some of the colleges
visited were Alabama A&M, University of Alabama at Huntsville, UAB, Auburn,
University of Alabama, Mississippi State, and University of Mississippi.
Joint Munitions Command will have thirty-eight interns at thirteen locations
throughout the JMC/ASC beginning in Jan 2011; assignments are 10 to 15 weeks in
duration. The MCRP Team is continuing to refine the FY11 program; one goal is for
Rock Island to host a Diversity Workshop with all participating minority
institutions. For FY10, 67 students participated in the spring and summer programs.
In FY10, there were two awards to AAMU Research Institute (HBCU), and Chicago
State University (MI) with a total dollar value of $144,995.
The recruitment team attended events at various minority universities including
Delaware State, Virginia State, Howard University, Morgan State, Maryland Eastern
Shore, and North Carolina A&T. In addition, the team participated in specific
diversity-focused events to include the 9th Annual Latino Job Fair held in
Philadelphia, PA, the University of Virginia’s Diversity Job Fair, the Employment
Guide Diversity Job Fair held in Baltimore, MD, and the Diversity Job Fair held in
College Park, MD. The recruitment team also participated in job fairs aimed at
recruiting transitioning military veterans and more experienced, mid to senior level
job candidates through the Wounded Warrior Program, the VA Sponsored Veterans’
Job Fair, and company sponsored events such as Corporate Grey, Military Stars,
Recruit Military, and Tech Expo, held throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia. The team also took part in job fairs held at Fort Meade, MD, Fort Dix, NJ,
and a West Point Job Fair held in Arlington, VA.
Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) EEO Office arranged for a shadow program for 27
high school students from the Monroe Career and Technical Institute (MCTI). MCTI
is one of the most diverse schools in the local community, and their students
shadowed a variety of our employees, to include employees with positions in
carpentry; Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC); automotive;

Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS); security; sheet metal; machine
shop; welding; information technology; and electronics. In order to educate Monroe
County students about TYAD, TYAD arranged three visits to two Monroe County
high schools (Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg South). The discussion panel
consisted of engineer and electronic employees who discussed the value of
absorbing the data being taught in the classroom. They put emphasis on the
benefits of paying careful attention during classroom instructions and its related job
benefits. TYAD also spoke about why TYAD is a great place to work and about the
Student Career Experience Program (SCEP).
RDECOM signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
with Morgan State University on 10 May 2010. The CRADA formalizes a partnership
between RDECOM and the university to work on research projects through school
laboratories, personnel, facilities, equipment and other resources. The partnership
reinforces the command’s expanding teamwork between Aberdeen Proving Ground,

students in academics, emotional conflicts, self-concept, and critical thinking skills.
Students with language and cultural barriers are included in those considered at-
risk.
HQ USA EUROPE
A USAREUR European Diversity Council is being re-established to coordinate
installation programs and activities that enhance development and employment;
improve and promote training of special emphasis program managers; serve as an
informal liaison and provide online training that enhances cultural awareness; serve
as a networking and sharing resource to communicate and exchange information
about programs, advancement, education, and training to further goals of
establishing a model EEO program. Information about employment for disabled
veterans will be shared and posted on the Council’s webpage for dissemination at
installations across Europe.
HQ INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND
IMCOM is committed to taking care of people as evidenced by numerous efforts to
keep the workforce informed on major initiatives such as Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC), Joint Basing and Transformation. This commitment is further
demonstrated by routine strategic communication to the workforce via various
social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Other communication vehicles
include the D6 Sends Articles, Town Hall and the AUSA Installation Management
Campaign Plan Roll-out Conference.
HQ IMCOM continues its efforts to develop and deploy the web-based Equal
Employment Opportunity Self Assessment Tool (EEOSAT) enterprise wide in FY
2010. EEOSAT creates efficiencies and serves to measure the effectiveness of EEO
programs at the garrisons. This tool gives the operating EEO Office control at the
first stage of the evaluation process to identify program strengths and/or
weaknesses and helps to develop strategies for improvement. The EEOSAT, via
three distinct survey Modules (employee, manager/supervisor, and EEO staff)
collects information from all major program areas for an accurate picture of the
total EEO operation. This approach provides a 360 degree snapshot of the EEO
program at that particular point in time. Once results are evaluated, the HQ IMCOM
staff in conjunction with the Garrison staff prepares an action plan to address non-
compliance issues identified in the assessment.

Training via webcast was available to all IMCOM EEO Disability Program Managers
by EEOC and OPM trainers on Oct. 26, 2010. The training was entitled, “How To
Comply With The Executive Order 13548 And Actually Increase Federal
Employment Of Individuals With Disabilities At Your Agency.” The training
provided Disability Program Managers with relevant, practical and useful
information.
The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 teleconference
training has been held at numerous IMCOM installations during FY 2010. The
training is targeted for EEO Managers, Labor Counselors, and Personnelists and is
eligible for 1.5 hours of Continuing Legal Education credit. Fort Bragg’s EEO office
serves as an example; providing training to 179 managers and supervisors on the
Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008; an Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission Administrative Judge facilitated the training and discussed
amendments to the ADA and responsibilities of managers and supervisors under the
law.
The Fellows Program is a five-year program which was established to create future
multi-functional leaders for the Army. During the course of the program, Fellows
earn master’s degrees and begin a series of on-the-job training assignments in
which they learn two career programs. Fellows are on ACTEDS rolls and funding for
the first two years of training and thereafter are transferred to HQ IMCOM rolls for
the duration of their training prior to final placement. IMCOM currently employs 8
Fellows (3 Fellows from Class 6 graduating in July 2010; 5 Fellows from Class 7
graduating in July 2011). IMCOM gained 4 Fellows in July 2009 (Class 8 graduating
in July 2012) and due to a program change, 7 Fellows in August (Class 9 graduating
in July 2013).
Newly established EEO Program: implementation of the FMWRC and AEC EEO
Program that exclusively serviced FMWRC and AEC. Both developed Mid Point MD
715 Reports as their baseline. The FMWRC and AEC EEO team hit the ground
running to ensure sexual harassment and EEO training was conducted for all of the
AFRC employees and that Directors and leaders receive staff assistance visits when
they are made aware of potential trends or issues negatively affecting the
organization.

In the West Region, USAG Carson chartered an EEO Council whose purpose is to
have regular, proactive and effective dialogue with senior leaders concerning EEO
and diversity issues impacting the workforce.
During FY 2010, the European EEO Regional Director continued to emphasize that
garrisons must provide consistent EEO services to their customers and ensure
timely complaint processing. As a result of this focus the Region’s overall EEO
performance rating for FY 2010 was green. Workforce Recruitment Program
(WRP): Eight college students were placed throughout the Europe Region during the
FY 2010 WRP season. The WRP student employed at the USAG Heidelberg EEO
Office was instrumental in the production of several marketing tools to advertise the
program including a “WRP Supervisor Information Guide.”
The Fort Carson Employment Services Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
Representative is fully immersed in assisting the Washington based Veterans
Employment Services Team in the strategic planning and follow-on execution in
support of the Presidential Executive Order aimed at hiring more Veterans to work
in the federal government. Through the efforts of the Fort Carson OPM
Representative in collaboration with the Wounded Warrior Occupational Therapist
and the Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) the Operation Warfighter
Program in Colorado stood up in January 2010. Combined with FY09 and now, a
total of 43 have been hired with 12 potential hires.

Historically Black College/University (HBCU), to attend a career fair for recruiting
students under the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP). Those
organizations requiring resumes from minority institutions were assisted by the G1
office through posting of student/intern vacancies on electronic bulletin boards at
various minority universities.
Assisted some organizations in collecting resumes through networking with deans
of engineering schools at HBCUs. During FY 2010, the MCRP manager visited an
HBCU, Jackson State University in Mississippi, and met with university placement
office officials to review their career center, and inform them about jobs within
USASMDC/ARSTRAT. Resumes were also collected for vacant entry level
engineering positions and disseminated to supervisors with entry level positions.
The command continues to hire/recruit students under the SCEP appointing
authority and Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP). During FY 2010, there were a
total of 4 students recruited and hired under SCEP and FCIP appointments from
HBCUs. Seven students were hired under the SCEP in FY 2010 which was a
significant increase over the one hire in FY 2009.
The command participated in the employment of students under the STEP in FY
2010 by hiring 3 students. The STEP workforce for FY 2010, consisting of FY 10
gains and prior students, was a total of 14 students. The STEP student workforce
has historically served as a source for converting students to the SCEP for future
employment with the command.
RESERVE COMMAND
Conducted 20 Staff Assistance Visits (SAV) in FY10 and provided training at 154
different training forums in 58 different locations across the United States and
Puerto Rico. Over 5,700 employees received some form of in-person EEO training; a
72% increase from FY09. A total of 3,446 employees received in-person sexual
harassment training by a member of the EEO Staff, which amounts to approximately
27% of the total workforce. Because of the transition of distance learning
courseware from the Virtual University to the Army Learning Management System
(ALMS), there was a loss in data on the number of employees who completed on-
line sexual harassment training in FY10. More than a quarter of employees

SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND
Community Outreach: Members of USASOC's EEO staff attended the Sanderson
High School 5th Annual Hispanic or Latino Career Fair, Raleigh, NC, to provide
employment information to students, faculty, and members of the Hispanic or
Latino community. The staff set up an informational display and shared
information about federal employment and career opportunities to include
information regarding USASOC's Student Educational Employment Program (SEEP).
Approximately 200 students ranging from ninth to twelfth grades participated in
the fair. Many students were interested in the Call to Serve initiative and the fact
that they could serve their country as civilians in the federal government. The Call
to Serve initiative is aimed at highlighting the importance of recruiting and
maintaining a well-qualified, diverse civil service workforce.
Minority College Relations Program (MCRP): USASOC has cooperative educational
employment agreements with two Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs), Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, NC and Savannah State
University in Savannah, GA. An agreement is being finalized with North Carolina
A&T State University in Greensboro, to increase the number of participating HBCUs
to three. In FY 10, 54 college students participated in the MCRP.
