DoD Regional and Cultural Capabilities: The Way Ahead
"The 'DoD Regional and Cultural Capabilities: the Way Ahead' is the outcome of an unprecedented gathering of senior leaders from the Department of Defense to focus on mission demands for regional and cultural capabilities and develop a framework for synchronizing policies, plans, and programs to meet these demands. The Summit provided a forum for an enterprise-wide dialogue on the need to raise the bar on the Department's ability to better understand different cultures and societies and work more effectively with the Interagency Community and global partners to lay a firm foundation for security in the 21st Century. Summit participants agreed that an intense focus on regional and cultural capabilities is critical if we are to grow leaders, operators and analysts who understand both the broader regional, as well as the cultural contexts, in which they perform their jobs. The stakes are extremely high. We must begin immediately to address the challenges the Department is facing in building the regional and cultural capabilities we need for the defense and security of the Nation. We must discern and prioritize demands and take the necessary actions to address requirements. An integrated solution that engages all sectors will be needed to achieve our goals. Collectively, we can and will make a difference. This document represents the views and recommendations of Summit participants and is meant to serve as a foundation for expanding the dialogue within and beyond the Defense community."

Youth Poll Report and Crosstabulations
"The Department of Defense (DoD) conducts Youth Polls on a regular basis to measure youth's perceptions of the military and propensity to enlist in the military. This report details the findings of the May 2004 Youth Poll. The primary focus of the poll was to measure the likelihood of youth ages 16-21 to join the military and to identify the factors that influence their decision. In addition, this Youth Poll measured youth's favorability and knowledge of the military, their attitudes toward the military, their association between the military and a set of valued outcomes, and their perceptions of how supportive various people would be of them joining the military."

Response to the Terrorist attack on the Pentagon: Pentagon Family Assistance Center (PFAC) After Action Report
"Military bases are required to have plans for dealing with major emergencies and disasters. These plans include provisions for the family members of the victims. However, the Pentagon serves all four Military Services and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. No one organization had a plan that covered the family needs for all four Services, the DoD and its contractors in the event of a large-scale catastrophe. This action report discusses the three phases of the joint establishment of the Pentagon Family Assistance Center by various military components, Federal, State and local government and non-government agencies in response to the events of September 11. Phase I provided the initial crisis intervention support to victims' families immediately after the attack. Phase II provided interim post-crisis services to assist victims' primary next of kin as that transitioned to their communities. Phase III efforts focused on longer-term support to families using civilian and military community and Web-based resources as a means to provide more direct support services to families."

Department of Defense Implemenation Plan for Advanced Distributed Learning
"The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative is providing a federal framework for using distributed learning to provide high-quality education and training, that can be tailored to individual needs and delivered cost-effectively, anytime and anywhere. The Department of Defense (DoD) has developed its ADL Strategic Plan that describes how it expects to use information, computing and communications and technologies to modernize military education, training, and performance support. Importantly, the ADL Initiative's underpinnings and applications are germane not only to the Department of Defense, but to other government organizations, academia, and the private sector, as well. The ADL Initiative, therefore, is a cooperative effort between the public and private sectors to develop and share common standards, reusable learning tools, and content. The department's education and training programs must prepare the total force to meet national security challenges and opportunities. Training technologies, those available today as well as those on the horizon, provide an opportunity to help us achieve that goal. We must be able to train our forces effectively and rapidly, whether they are at home stations, en route, or in the theater of operations. The tools under development through the ADL Initiative will add another level of learning capability and the opportunity to strengthen our already impressive inventory of learning technologies, techniques, and procedures. The ADL Initiative, under which this Department of Defense Implementation Plan for Advanced Distributed Learning has been developed, is a complex and dynamic undertaking. It is designed to meet the goals of the department, the Congress, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), as well as the requirements of the warfighter and the DoD learner. This Implementation Plan is a living roadmap that will change over time."

Force Health Protection (Supplement 2) - Department of Defense Guidance for Military Installation Commanders' Risk-Based Measured Responses to the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak
From the Document: "Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to spread and is an increasing force health protection (FHP) threat in areas where Department of Defense (DoD) personnel live and work. As the leading U.S. Government public health agency, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to assess the risk of COVID-19 and provide guidance for those residing in the United States and traveling abroad. Some CDC COVID-19 guidance may have limited applicability for military installation commanders (hereafter 'military commanders'), particularly those outside the United States, because CDC guidance is principally directed toward persons residing in the United States and does not apply to other sovereign nations. While the DoD continues to follow CDC's lead, additional military specific measures are authorized by current policy when needed to mitigate risk to U.S. forces stationed around the world and to protect Service members, DoD civilian employees and contractor personnel, and family members."

Report to Armed Services Committees on Screening Individuals Who Seek to Enlist in the Armed Forces
From the Executive Summary: "DoD is facing a threat from domestic extremists (DE), particularly those who espouse white supremacy or white nationalist ideologies. Some domestic extremist / terror groups (a) actively attempt to recruit military personnel into their group or cause, (b) encourage their members to join the military, or (c) join, themselves, for the purpose of acquiring combat and tactical experience. Military members are highly prized by these groups as they bring legitimacy to their causes and enhance their ability to carry out attacks. In addition to potential violence, white supremacy and white nationalism pose a threat to the good order and discipline within the military. Service members are prohibited from participating in or advocating for supremacist and other extremist ideology. Most Service-level policy directs Recruiting Commands to screen for and disqualify applicants who belong to domestic extremist / terror groups or espouse DE ideologies. The objective of this research studies was to evaluate the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) resources that could be incorporated into the DoD accessions program and the personnel security program to help better identify and remove extremists."

2014 Report to Congress on Sustainable Ranges
"This is the eleventh Sustainable Ranges Report (SRR) to Congress, which summarizes the Department of Defense's (DoD's) actions to ensure the long-term sustainability of its training ranges. The SRR responds to Section 366 of the fiscal year (FY) 2003 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which requires DoD to develop and submit to Congress a comprehensive plan to address training constraints caused by limitations on the use of available military lands, marine areas, and airspace in the United States and overseas. Section 311 of the FY2013 NDAA extended the reporting requirement through FY2018. Although this report focuses on DoD training ranges only, it also touches on test and evaluation (T&E) ranges to the extent that these ranges support training activities in the broader perspective of DoD's overall Sustainable Ranges Initiative (SRI). The DoD test community separately reports on encroachment factors impacting research, development, test, and evaluation activities in their Strategic Plan for T&E Resources. While DoD has been proactively addressing the many challenges related to range capabilities and encroachment, those challenges continue to grow, new ones emerge, and dynamic conditions and events exacerbate the original challenges. These challenges are common themes that resonate across the Department in its ability to implement the SRI. Most notable is the implementation of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which required DoD and the Military Services to reduce the Department's discretionary spending budget across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). The decrease in total obligation authority necessitated changes to force structure and significant reductions in funding for operations and maintenance, military construction, research and development investments, as well as acquisition programs in order to effectively balance competing requirements across the Department and within each Military Service."
