A watchdog group has filed a lawsuit against the Air Force for allegedly withholding records related to efforts to implement racial diversity quotas in officer recruitment. The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) claims that the Air Force has failed to produce any responsive communications despite a FOIA request. CASA argues that the Air Force’s inability to find any records is “impossible” and that the memo ordering the development of a diversity and inclusion outreach plan “undoubtedly” triggered internal discussions. The lawsuit raises concerns about the prioritization of race over merit in military recruitment and the potential impact on military preparedness.
