AI Summary
This bill, the Equality in Leadership and Inclusion in Top Elements Act of 2020 (or the ELITE Act of 2020), directs the Secretary of Defense to enter into an agreement with a federally funded research and development center to conduct a study on the barriers to minority participation in the elite units of the Armed Forces, such as Army Special Forces, Navy SEALs, and Air Force Pararescue. The study will examine the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of these units, compare participation rates of minority populations, and identify barriers in the accession, assessment, and training processes. The bill requires the Secretary to implement the study's recommendations by March 2023, with some exceptions for delayed or non-implementation if properly justified. The goal is to increase minority participation in these elite units and higher-ranking officer positions across the Armed Forces.
