“…A confidential survey could also offer DoD and the Coast Guard information on what types of individuals are more or less likely to complete surveys (e.g., junior enlisted) and allow for survey weights to better account for nonresponse among certain subgroups. The 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, using a confidential rather than anonymous approach, had a response rate of just more than 30 percent among active-duty service members (Morral, Gore, and Schell, 2016). Future iterations of the HRBS could use both an anonymous and a confidential approach in order to asses which may lead to the best response rates and the highest-quality data.…”

Originally implemented to assess substance use (i.e., illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco), the survey now includes content areas-such as mental and physical health, sexual behavior, and postdeployment problems-that may affect force readiness or the ability to meet the demands of military life. The HRBS is intended to supplement administrative data already collected by the armed forces. In 2014, the Defense Health Agency asked the RAND Corporation to review previous iterations of the HRBS, update survey content, administer a revised version of the survey, and analyze data from the resulting 2015 HRBS of active-duty personnel. The 2015 HRBS included U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel, and this report details the survey methodology and results. No expertise in health, health-related behaviors, or health care is required to read this report. However, it may be of most use to individuals who provide direct care related to the health and health-related behaviors of active-duty service members or who are responsible for making related policy decisions. Additional information can be found in a series of online appendixes.This research was sponsored by the Defense Health Agency and conducted within the Forces and Resources Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelli...

“…There is nothing that guides decisions apart from their conscience and knowledge of military ethics -and their bipolar personalities with that touch of arrogance that goes with the territory. The results have been reported, often widely (UCS, 2008;Dao, 2012;Camp and Norman, 2015;Morral et al, 2016). Gorer's (1948: 68) observation is truer than he knows: "America seems to speak with two voices, the one proclaiming high ideals, the other negating them with the most unenlightened self-interest."…”

The Cult of Dignity

The cult of dignity is one of four stages in the development of society (with credit where due to Spencer). It is a devolution from its sister, the cult of honor. Whereas the latter introduces important institutions, the cult of dignity is a transition phase on the way to a normative dignity-based society during which individualism is excessive and its regulation defective where existing. This cult is knowable by the 1) structure of its offices; 2) the expected objective personality of its officers; 3) an 'us v. them' mindset, and 4) conduct that presupposes arrogance, narcissism or contempt (for victim, law and/or right).The paper also makes two assertions; first that stewardship rather than ethics is the proper label to describe the normative regulation of offices, and second, that the evolution to a dignity-based culture is the only apparent way to achieve a stewardship outlook that would stem the excesses inherent to the cult of dignity wherever found.

“…Recent RAND research grouped behaviors that fall under UCMJ sexual assault relevant offenses into three categories: penetrative sexual assault, nonpenetrative sexual assault, and attempted penetrative sexual assault (Morral, Gore, and Schell, 2015). Penetrative sexual assaults include penetration of the mouth, anus, or vagina by a penis, body part, or object.…”

“…To implement this new request for information, the forms that applicants, recruiters, the MEPS LNCO, and USMEPCOM currently complete could include questions addressing relevant topics from the well-known Sexual Experiences Survey (Koss et al, 2006) or a small set of modified questions on the perpetration of acts described in the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Survey (Morral, Gore, and Schell, 2014). More specifically, one example question that draws from recommended measures for soliciting self-reports of sexual aggression and the definition of rape that Air Force recruiting uses (AFRS Instruction 36-3001, 2012;Koss et al, 2006) is: "Did you ever have sex with someone when they didn't want to, or when they were asleep, unconscious, or too out of it to stop it?…”
