Task Force Case Study

634 Words3 Pages

Challenges There were several challenges outlined above however the greatest will be that of the military leadership and culture as a whole. A large organization is difficult to change with a simple revision of policy. Changing the culture will require a sort of epidemic to take hold and stick for the long term. Finding the right solution that would appeal to the younger generation will stick long term, such as finding a connection that they can relate to.

This can be implemented through an amendment of the fraternization policy by prohibiting romantic behavior among military members.
I propose the development of a Task Force that includes, but is not limited to the J1 staff, Judge Advocate General staff, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), and civilian sector human resource professionals such as SHRM. The Task Force Chairman should come from the Under Secretary of Department of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD (P&R)). The chair would have the resources available to assist in the development of focused objectives to adopt such a policy change. The timeline to achieve such a broad, pre-launch recommendation is two to three years based on funding and implementation schedules. The most important phase is pre-launch whereby the right stewards are selected to sell the story, creating the start for cultural change. This Task Force should be charged with developing the recommendation outlined above into actual policy language that can be presented to the Secretary of Defense.

The policy should also be evaluated so that it is simplistic for ease in interpretation and

This forced environment leads to women having to act differently as well because many people feel that “women are not held to the same standards as men” (Nicolas) Nicolas shows that the military environment affects women as well as men and forces genders to act in different ways. Gender is not universal but the military forces gender roles to be blown out of proportion. Women are not held to the same standards as men, which in our day and age should be unheard of. Nicolas’ piece extends the point that Myers makes about the military environment and genders.
