The purpose of this executive note is to identify the impacts of experiencing racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination on the self-reported readiness of active duty members. Using data from the 2017 Workplace and Equal Opportunity Survey of Active Duty Members (2017 WEOA), we examined whether members who experienced racial/ethnic harassment and/or discrimination in the 12 months prior to taking the survey differed from those who did not on a variety of indicators of readiness, including retention intention, satisfaction with military way of life, satisfaction with supervisors, satisfaction with coworkers, preparedness for the wartime mission, and morale. Results indicated active duty members who experienced racial/ethnic harassment and/or discrimination in the 12 months prior to taking the survey endorsed lower levels of readiness on all indicators assessed. These findings suggest reducing instances of racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination is a readiness imperative.
