Abstract

With a focus on the potential value of diversity for improving innovation, agility, and ultimately the mission, the U.S. armed forces has long worked toward improving demographic representation within its ranks, including the representation of women (see Lucas and Segal, 2012). In the Air Force, Chief of Staff Gen David L. Goldfein has stated that, Recruiting and retaining diverse Airmen cultivates innovation. Like different aircraft and missions make up one Air Tasking Order, different people make the best teams when integrated purposefully together (U.S. Air Force, undated).
