DACOWITS RFIs to Insight Policy Research for December 2015

The Committee is concerned about the transition training, medical care, and mental health support women receive while serving in the Armed Forces.

The Committee requests a literature review in the form of a written response from Insight on any research related to:

Female active/reserve/veteran homelessness statistics (as compared to male active/reserve/veterans and civilian women);

Suicide rate of female active/reserve/veterans (as compared to male active/reserve/veterans and civilian women);

Unemployment rate of female reservists/veterans (as compared to male reservists/veterans and civilian women); and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) rate among female active/reserve/veterans (as compared to male active/reserve/veterans), and any correlation to an increase in PTSD due to military sexual trauma (MST).

DACOWITS continues to be interested in the propensity, recruitment, and talent management of women joining the Armed Forces.

The Committee requests a briefing from Insight on the following:

Comparison between the different generations serving within today’s military (e.g., Baby Boomers and Generation X) and the new generation that’s joining the Armed Forces (e.g., Millennials)

- (e.g., mindsets, views on family, job expectations, work ethic and habits, promotion/talent management, values, priorities, etc.)
