Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 3:39:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time Subject: Release Regarding "Generals FOIA" and "All Advice FOIA" 17-2707 (D.D.C.) Date: Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 3:26:16 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: Kahn, MaOhew (USADC) To: Cerissa Cafasso AHachments: AO v DoD Release.pdf Hi Cerissa, AOached are responses to the two remaining FOIA requests that are the subject of this liYgaYon, the July 28th “Generals FOIA” and the Oct 31st “All advice FOIA.” As previously agreed, DoD searched within all of the documents located by OSD and the Service Branches for discovery purposes in Doe v Trump, No. 17-cv-1597 (D.D.C.). For the “Generals FOIA,” responsive records were limited to “analysis or recommendaYons from DoD personnel regarding DoD’s policy regarding the service of transgender individuals in the U.S. military in the offices listed in the request to the White House between Jan 20, 2017, and 8:55 AM EDT on July 26, 2017.” Only communicaYons sent to the White House is within this scope. Dracs and deliberaYons regarding any such communicaYons internal to DoD is not responsive. For the “All advice FOIA,” responsive records were limited to “analysis, reports, or recommendaYons regarding DoD’s policy regarding the service of transgender individuals in the U.S. military from DoD personnel in the offices listed in the request between Jan 20, 2017, and 8:55 AM EDT on July 26, 2017.” While this request includes analysis, reports, and recommendaYons internal to DoD, only the final versions of any such records provided to or from senior leaders in the DoD offices listed in the request are within this scope. Dracs and lower level deliberaYons regarding any such analysis, reports, or recommendaYons are not responsive. 26 pages regarding readiness of military departments to implement accessions of transgender applicants into military service are aOached. These documents have minor redacYons pursuant to ExempYon 6, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6), which permits the Government to withhold informaYon about individuals when the disclosure of such informaYon “would consYtute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” DoD has a pracYce to withhold personally idenYfying informaYon of those members of DoD who are at the military rank of Colonel or below and at the rank of GS-15 or below. See O'Keefe v. DoD, 463 F. Supp. 2d 317, (E.D.N.Y. 2006) (holding that “the probaYve value of this personally idenYfying informaYon is nominal and does not overcome the privacy interest of the employees involved. The employees who conducted the invesYgaYon are of relaYvely low rank”). DoD has withheld the names and contact informaYon of such personnel. In addiYon to the aOached records, DoD has withheld in full 14 pages of records pursuant to ExempYon 5. ExempYon 5 pertains to certain inter- and intra-agency communicaYons protected by civil discovery privileges. As applicable here, these privileges include the deliberaYve process privilege and the presidenYal communicaYons privilege.

The minimum waiting period for transgender individuals should be that time necessary to resolve the dysphoria or any other attendant conditions . • Data to assess impact on readiness has only been available since October 2016 . To address this insufficiency , the Army requests delaying implementation of an accessions policy for at least 24 months. The delay provides the necessary time to develop actual practical experience regarding the length and type of medical treatment needed to resolve periods of non-deployability and validate the presumption that transgcnder Soldiers will access in their preferred gender and experience no additional distress or dysphoria , requiring only routine behavioral health and endocrinological follow-up with minimum training disruption during service .

Additionally, DON published transgende r policy in Secretary of the Navy Inst ruction 1000.11,Senilce ofTransgender Sailors and Marines, on November 4, 2016. A one-year delay will enable DON to assess the effectiveness of our policy to evaluate, treat, and integrate transgende r Service Members within the existing pop ulat ion. This will allow us opportunity to apply the experience of our current efforts to identify any potential impacts oftransgender serv ice on readine ss and deployability and to standardize and clarify DON procedure s as required to preclude such impacts . During this period we will also assess the detailed policy impacts on individual Service Memb ers and their ability to have full , uninhibite d careers offering world-wide assigna bility. Additionally, we will work with the oth er Services, the Combatant Commander s, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense to promote consistency in implementation regarding deployed environment requirements, non-deployability pe{iods, and the opt ima l stability period associated with the unique stre ssors of military life.

Secretary, we are prepared to access transgender (TG) applicants into military Service on July I, 2017 . We conducted exte nsive policy reviews and training of the force, and established the required co ndition s for implementation of TG applica nt acce sio ns. The following criteria se rved as the bas is for our assessment • • • • • • • • Required revi sions to Navy policy were outlined in NAV ADMIN 248 / 16 and BUMEDNOTE 6000. Applicable Navy instructions were reviewed and any changes req_ujredare nearing completion and will be in effect by the planned date for TG accessions . All Navy policies and regulations are consiste nt with the standards of mil itary readiness, effective ness, unit cohesio n, and re.cruiting and retention nee ds . As of April 30, 2017, the Navy com pleted TG policy training for both the active and reserve compo nent s. The Navy Service Central Coordin ation CeU con tinues to provide assi stance and clarification to command triads and individual Sailors regarding person nel policies and gender transiti on, responding to over 460 inquiries since the Jul y 5, 2016 standup . BUMED success fully stood up eas t and west coast transgender care teams, completed phys1cian training and developed a multidisciplinary approach to care for tran sitioni ng Sailor s. Navy Recruiting Command recruite rs are prepared to accept TG applica tions . Navy accession sources at Naval Service Training Command and U.S . NavaJ Academy are ready to begin accessi ng TO recruits and officer candid ates . Recrui t Training Command (RTC ) is on track to complete the mfoimu m necessary modificaLionsto ensure appropriate priv acy for incoming TG personnel. No other facilities modifications are planned by Navy outside of RTC. While Navy sees no impediments and assesses limited risk to start acc essing TG applicants, I would not oppo se a shif t in the final implementation date if req uired by our sister Service s. Navy agrees to the plan of 18 months stability requiremen t for Service entry of TG appHcanLc;,but awa its decision and release of DoD accession medical standards to review and update our policie s and ins truction s accordingly. The accession of TG personnel is not expected to cause significan t impacts to read iness , effectiveness, cohesion, recr uiting and retenti on.

The Marine Corps will comply with all Dep artment of Defense (DoD) directives on this issue, but recommends extending the accession deadline to I July 2018 . Since the imp lementation of the DoO transgender policy, we continu e to learn from our transitioning in-s ervice Marines who have bravely stepped forward. An add itional year will give us the opponunity to continue to learn and to address ongoing concerns including: • • Since the implementation of the policy, we are beginning to better understand , via our inservice transitioning Marines, how tran sition impacts deployabiJity and readin ess. This infonnation is important because the majority of Marines serve only a sing le term and we expect these Marines lo be ready to train and deploy multiple times. Wi th an additional year to .implement transitioning/transgende r accessions, we will be able to gain more insight from our experience with our in-service tran sitioning Marines and will be able to offer DOD a wcll-infonned assessment on the imp act on readiness. • Facilities modifications are necessary at numerous training locations to resp ond to privacy concerns. These modifications have been impacted by the extended Continu ing Resolution and, therefore, have not yet been com pleted. An additional year and a sign ed budget will allow us to complete these modificati ons. • Notable inconsistencies exist betwee n the clinical guidelines for transgende r care and the DoD policy, specifically with respect to the requirement of real life experie nce (RLE). Defense Health Agency policy manda tes DoD clinicians use guidelines req uiring at least three months RLE prior to inilioting honnone treatment. However, Do0 policy which was developed with input from OoD medic al ex.pertsdoes not permit RLE during duty hours and only allows partial RLE when Service members are off-duty. This incongruit y reflects the lade of agreement within the medical and resolved to ensure appropriate care for behavioral health communities and must be our transitioning service members. By deliberately increasing this population before we have resolved the inconsistencies, we potentially expose newly accessed transitioning Marine s to unacceptable health risks. Lastly, an extension would allow DO D and the Services to gain more certain ty about DOD's interpretation of l 0 U.S.C. §§6931, 931 9, and 43 I 9 which require the Servic es to provide sleeping and latrine areas separated by ~•male',and "female" at recrui.t trainin g. The statutes DOD-17-0301 and DOD-17-0464-A-000006 American Oversight v DoD, No. 17-2707 (D.D.C.) 066 SUBJECT : Readiness of the Milita ry Departments lo Implement Acces sion ofTransgender Applicants into Military Service do not define the temts ..male" or "female," but DOD General Counsel hes sugges July 2016 opinion that the terms ted in a 5 will be interpreted to mean the memb er's reflected in the Defense Enrollment EligibilityReporting System (DEER gender marker as S). The DOD General Counsel opinion indicates a belief that Congress will defer to DOD's interpretation of"malc " and "female' ' because of the significant authority Congress has conferredon the Secretary of Defense and Service Sec retaries concerning the administrat ion of DOD and its personnel DOD should lake add itional action prior to the accession oftransgender applicants to ensure this view is con sistent with congressional intent, in order to avoid potential risk of violntion of these statutes. In addition to these concems, we con tinue to recommendthe stability per accessions be established as 24 mo iod for new nths, vice 18 months under the cur rent policy. This 24-month stability requirement is consistent with other stability requirements wit hin DOD's medicaJ standards for accession in DODI 613 0.03. Accession to military servfo e is a significant and stressful event for aJl applicants; phy sical and mental stability are vital for success during recruit training or officer candidate school . A longer stabilization requirement wo uld provide a better foundation for our transgcnder app licants and better position them to successfully complete rigorous initial training. In summary, the Marine Corps wil l execute as required. but recommend new accessions be delayed to 1 Jul the effective date for y 2018 so the Services can review and lea service transgender cases to better rn from current inserve our transitioning/transgende r members and to better understand the impacts of this new policy. We further recommend the stability period for new nccessions be lengthened to 24 mo nths. Robert .B .
