  • 1 General Bratton published and wrote the forward of the 2022 Space Force Doctrine. Included within the doctrine, Chapter 4, was a DEI policy.
    • "The USSF prioritizes the development and sustainment of Guardians, which include active-duty officers and enlisted personnel, and civilians, allowing the service to capitalize on the diversity of its personnel, along with their skills, talents, expertise, and perspective"
    • "Diversity and Inclusion: A diverse, inclusive force is one strengthened by a myriad of unique perspectives and experiences. The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Diversity and Inclusion (SAF/DI) provides guidance, direction, and support to both USAF and USSF personnel. Diversity education and training is critical to the development of our Guardians at every stage of their careers to meet emerging operational challenges. Cultivating diversity acumen fosters an inclusive culture in which members of different groups bring diverse knowledge and perspectives to the organization. The SAF/DI office will assist STARCOM as needed with curriculum, content, and methodology for training Guardians. These efforts will set a strong foundation for Guardians to lead diverse teams in an increasingly competitive and dynamic global environment."
