Brown said Friday that his goal is to break down "any type of barriers" for recruitment, adding that he has been reviewing policies and programs to ensure they don't put members at a disadvantage when joining the service or pursuing their careers. A review of racial disparity in the Air Force by the service's inspector general released last December found that Black airmen are nearly twice as likely to be suspects in a military criminal investigation, arrested or apprehended by base patrol, or involuntarily discharged based on misconduct.
The report also found three of every five Black airmen and Space Force guardians believe they would not get the same benefit of doubt as white airmen if they get into trouble. The service launched the review last year as the nation began exploring questions of racial injustice and systemic racism following the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis in May At the National Press Club event, Brown said that, while he was serving as Pacific Air Force commander, he was questioned when he parked in his designated spot at the post exchange.
Brown promised that change will come, first, as the result of him sitting in the Air Force's top office -- "young people only aspire to be what they can see," he said -- and by adapting training and technologies to draw new airmen to the service.
