  • Mission [1]
    • The Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (P&R) is responsible for the recruitment and retention of highly qualified and professional females to serve in the armed services. Females add diversity to our military. This diversity maximizes the value of building a team comprised of multiple backgrounds and talent sets. It allows the services to take advantage of unique life experiences which develop different problem solving approaches. This adds to our corporate strength, which ultimately improves our military readiness. DACOWITS provides support to P&R’s mission by identifying, studying and providing recommendations on issues such as assignments, advancement, health care, equipment and training, to name a few, which may impact a woman’s decision to either initially join or remain on active duty.
