In recent months, the Army has also dropped some of its other activities that were primarily focused on diversification in the military unit. According to Military .com, the Army removed its diversity advertising campaign labeled” The Calling” from YouTube earlier this year.

According to Military .com, Weimer and Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George removed the Army’s” People Initially” message, which had been in place for about four years, and placed a premium on the demands of men and their people over military readiness.

In a 2020 letter to the Army, retired Gen. James McConville, who previously served as the Army’s chief of staff, said,” Leveraging the variety of experiences, beliefs and talents will ensure the Army maintains a competitive edge in the battle for skills. As the nation becomes increasingly more diverse, the Army must continue capitalizing on the ideals of inclusion, embracing the opportunity to innovate, focusing on excellence, and expanding capabilities. We must acquire, develop, employ and retain the best and brightest of America’s talent pool”.
