Adm. Gary Roughead, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), placed himself in front of the sea services’ efforts to encourage diversity among the ranks. "I believe that diversity is the responsibility of every leader, both military and civilian," Roughead wrote in a March 3 diversity policy statement. "Each leader must set and live example, as well as create an environment in our Navy where every individual’s contribution is valued and respected."
