On Point Army SHARP partners with key influencersThe Army Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program Office, Training and Doctrine Command, the U.S. Military Academy and the Army SHARP Academy are collaborating with academia and related nonprofit and advocacy organizations to share lessons learned, explore new ideas, and identify best practices for addressing sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention and response. The Army has engaged with colleges and universities on sexual violence because they have populations that face similar risks for sexual assault. By sharing lessons learned each can benefit from the experiences of the other.

FORT EUSTIS, Va. -- The Army has done a good job of increasing diversity in the force in terms both race and gender. But there’s still work to be done.

At Fort Eustis, Virginia, July 12 through 14, the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command con-vened the 2016 Army Diversity Summit to exam-ine the reasons why the top tiers of leadership remain so homogeneous while much of the rest of the Army has become increasingly diverse. The summit was convened, in part, to solicit subject-matter experts for proposed solutions to the problem.

Diversity in race, gender and even social and economic background bring value to the Army, said Under Secretary of the Army Patrick J.

Murphy at the summit, because diverse teams of people produce better outcomes. And as the demographics of the United States change, so too must the Army.

“The Army is in the people business,” Murphy said. “And to be here with subject-matter experts to figure out how to make us an even better force that is more diverse, that is more adaptive, and is more innovative is critically important to our future.”

While the Army as a whole is a diverse force, there is still a lack of diversity in the top ranks, said Warren Whitlock, the Army’s deputy assis-tant secretary for diversity and leadership.

“Somebody can look and say the Army is di-verse,” said Whitlock. (more)
