The 2023 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Military Members: Department of Defense Results and Trends report contains tabulations of the results from the 2023 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Military Members (2023 WGR) conducted from July 31, 2023, to November 30, 2023. The principal purpose of the 2023 WGR is to provide estimated prevalence rates of unwanted sexual contact, sexual harassment, and sex discrimination among military members and to inform efforts to prevent and respond to these incidents in the military. This Results and Trends report presents results of the 2023 WGR for each survey question for the Department of Defense’s Active and Reserve components separately. The report also presents results for each military service branch. Where possible, the report presents statistical comparisons between results from the 2023 WGR and results from the prior survey (2021 WGR).
Note: Prior to 2025, OPA research products used the term “gender” to describe men and women. These groups were defined using survey items and/or administrative data categories for “male” and “female”; therefore, references to gender should be understood to mean “sex”.
