Jace Price, 727th Special Operations Aircraft Maintenance Squadron MQ-9 lead production superintendent, about the difference with race growing up on an island versus life in the U.S. at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., Sept. 9. Clarke held sensing sessions discussing the need to ensure diversity and inclusion in the special operations community. The feedback received in these sessions will inform SOCOM’s development of a Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. This plan will detail the actions required to break down barriers to increase diversity and create a more inclusive environment. These efforts will also be closely linked to the ongoing comprehensive review effort and will assist the command’s Comprehensive Review Implementation Team as they continue to carry out the review’s findings.
