DISCUSSION.
a.
The Coast Guard is committed to achieving a work force reflective of the nations's
diversity. However, work force imbalances continue to exist for minorities and women,
reflected both in their under representation and in lower average grade/salary levels.
This is due, in part, to past affirmative employment planning and implementation
strategies which have not been effective at various units throughout the Coast Guard
