AI Summary: This is a policy document: an Executive Order issued by the President of the United States. This regulation establishes a new policy for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security (specifically the United States Coast Guard) aimed at eliminating race and sex-based preferences in military institutions. The order requires the abolishment of all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and prohibits promoting what the document describes as "divisive concepts" or "gender ideology" within military organizations. The Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Homeland Security must conduct internal reviews documenting previous DEI initiatives, issue implementation guidance within 30 days, and submit a progress report within 180 days. The order mandates that military educational institutions review their leadership, curriculum, and instructors to ensure alignment with the policy, and requires teaching that America's founding documents represent a positive force in human history. The regulation specifically forbids hiring employees, contractors, or consultants who teach theories deemed un-American or divisive, and emphasizes a commitment to meritocracy and color-blind, sex-neutral practices within the Armed Forces.
