Gen. Scott \u2063Spellmon, USACE&#8217;s commanding general, the plan was \u2064crafted to comply with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2021\/06\/30\/2021-14127\/diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility-in-the-federal-workforce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Order 14035<\/a>, a \u200ddirective\u2062 issued by President \u200bJoe Biden in June 2021 \u200dmandating federal agencies adopt DEI throughout their respective workforces.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The\u200b Impact of \u2062DEIA<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>DEIA dismisses merit\u200c and\u200b discriminates \u2063based on \u200bfeatures such as \u2064skin\u2062 color and sexual orientation.<\/li>\n<li>Individuals who qualify for a certain\u200c position based on merit may be passed over in\u200c favor of those who meet institutionally preferred identitarian standards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;One \u200cof my top priorities is ensuring \u2064that USACE serves as a model for \u2064diversity, equity,\u2062 inclusion, \u200band accessibility,\u200c where all \u2062employees are treated with\u200d dignity and \u200drespect,&#8221; Spellmon wrote in the plan&#8217;s opening pages. \u2064Integrating DEIA &#8220;into our\u2063 daily activities&#8230; allows USACE to retain\u2063 its\u200c focus on our \u200bgreatest asset &#8211; THE PEOPLE.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The strategic plan provides insight into how USACE intends to implement these \u200dconcepts\u200c throughout its ranks over the next several years. Without offering specifics, the branch \u2064claims\u200b under\u200b a\u200d section \u2063labeled &#8220;DEIA Governance&#8221; that it \u200cwill \u2063&#8221;build \u200cand \u200bsustain&#8221; a so-called &#8220;diverse and \u200dtalented \u200dworkforce&#8221; beginning with USACE&#8217;s leadership\u200c &#8220;and\u2062 cascading down to all levels across the enterprise.&#8221; \u2064The branch also aims to &#8220;cultivate&#8221; \u200dand &#8220;nurture&#8221; an allegedly &#8220;inclusive culture,&#8221; according to the \u2062plan.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-page \u200ddocument also includes a &#8220;DEIA Maturity Model,&#8221; which \u200cUSACE will use to\u2063 &#8220;map\u2062 its DEIA actions&#8221; and determine the most \u200beffective &#8220;standards of\u200c measurement&#8221; and &#8220;performance indicators&#8221; to use in gauging the branch&#8217;s &#8220;progress in \u2064advancing DEIA.&#8221; In order to acquire &#8220;the right \u2062data&#8221; to achieve this goal, USACE lists a\u2064 series of questions it aims to answer over \u2062the next three years to advance DEIA throughout\u2064 the \u2062service.<\/p>\n<h3>Expanding \u200cEquity \u200dand Goals<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>USACE aims to identify &#8220;underrepresented\u2064 groups&#8221; and develop staffing plans to ensure diversity\u200d is addressed.<\/li>\n<li>The branch recognizes\u200d the influence of having a higher proportion of female, racial, and\u2063 ethnic \u2064minorities in leadership positions \u2064on diverse talent opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>USACE\u200b expands its definition of \u2062&#8221;underserved&#8221; to include\u2064 characteristics such as sexual orientation and \u2064gender identities covered \u2063by \u2063the LGBT\u200b alphabet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The USACE strategic plan is just \u2062one\u2063 example of Marxism&#8217;s infiltration into the \u2064U.S. military. The Pentagon has hosted &#8220;pride month&#8221; activities on military installations, \u2062with branches\u2063 like the Air Force authorizing the use \u2064of taxpayer money to fly service members to these events.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has\u200c also made abortion a focal point of the military&#8217;s mission, authorizing Pentagon funds for female service members\u200c to travel across\u2062 state lines for abortions. Senator Tommy Tuberville has protested this policy, using \u2064his position on the Senate Armed Services Committee to slow-walk military personnel moves requiring \u2062Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pushback, Biden&#8217;s nominees\u200d have been confirmed, and\u200d Tuberville continues his\u200b protest until the Pentagon \u200brevokes its abortion policy.<\/p>\n<p>USACE&#8217;s\u200b public affairs office did not \u200crespond to The Federalist&#8217;s request\u2063 at the time\u200c of publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How will the\u2064 USACE ensure that the implementation of DEIA practices aligns with its organizational goals and values, and what measures will be taken to monitor the impact of these initiatives \u2062on the organization&#8217;s effectiveness \u2064and efficiency<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Aims\u2063 to achieve\u2063 this by incorporating \u2062DEIA principles and practices into recruitment, hiring, promotion, \u200dand training processes.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b plan emphasizes the importance of creating an inclusive and equitable work\u200d environment where all employees have equal opportunities for advancement and success. It references the\u200b need to address barriers and \u2064biases that may exist within the \u200borganization and \u200dacknowledges the importance\u2064 of fostering a culture\u2064 that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u200b there are concerns about the potential consequences \u200dof implementing DEIA\u2062 throughout the USACE. Critics argue that\u2062 this approach dismisses the principle of \u2063meritocracy\u2062 and instead prioritizes identity-based factors such as skin color and\u200b sexual orientation. They suggest that this may lead to \u2063qualified individuals being\u2064 overlooked in favor of those who meet specific identity criteria,\u2062 ultimately compromising the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>The plan&#8217;s supporters argue that DEIA is necessary to address historical inequalities and discrimination that\u2063 have persisted in society and within institutions like the USACE. They\u200c believe that by\u2063 embracing diversity and inclusion, the organization will be better equipped to fulfill its mission \u200cand serve all stakeholders\u200c effectively.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial for the USACE and other federal agencies to strike a balance between promoting diversity, equity,\u200b inclusion, and accessibility\u200d while also maintaining a \u2062focus on \u200cmerit and competence. Balancing these factors ensures \u200dthat the most qualified individuals \u2064are selected for\u2063 positions and \u2064that the organization benefits from \u2063a diverse range of perspectives and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>As the USACE moves forward with its strategic plan to inject DEIA into\u2064 its ranks, it will be essential to monitor its implementation and\u2062 assess its impact on the\u200b organization and its ability to fulfill its mission effectively.\u2062 This includes evaluating the potential benefits and \u2062risks \u200dassociated with adopting DEIA practices and ensuring that they align with the organization&#8217;s goals and values.<\/p>\n<p>In \u2063conclusion, the USACE&#8217;s strategic plan to incorporate DEIA principles and practices into its ranks reflects a broader effort by federal \u2063agencies to comply\u200c with Executive Order 14035. While there\u200d are concerns about the \u200dpotential consequences of prioritizing identity-based \u2064factors over merit, it is essential to find\u2064 a balance that promotes \u2063diversity, equity, inclusion, and \u200daccessibility without compromising the organization&#8217;s \u200deffectiveness and efficiency. Monitoring\u2064 the implementation and impact of these initiatives will be crucial in\u200b assessing their \u200dsuccess and making any necessary \u200badjustments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 27-page strategic plan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) called &#8220;USACE DEIA Strategic Plan&#8221; outlines their intentions to incorporate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) into their operations over the next three fiscal years.
