An announcement is ex- pected this week, and the services would have six months to assess the im- pact of the change and work out the details, the officials said Monday. Military chiefs wanted time to methodically work through the legal, med- ical and administrative is- sues and develop training to ease any transition, and senior leaders believed six months would be sufficient. The officials said Defense Secretary Ash Carter has asked his personnel under- secretary, Brad Carson, to set up a working group of senior military and civilian leaders to take an objective look at the issue. One senior official said that while the goal is to lift the ban, Carter wants the working group to look at the practical effects, including the costs, and de- termine whether it would affect readiness or create any insurmountable prob- lems that could derail the plan. The group would also develop uniform guidelines. During the six months, transgender individuals would still not be able to join the military, but any decisions to force out those already serving would be referred to the Pentagon's acting undersecretary for personnel, the officials said. One senior official said the goal was to avoid forcing any transgender service members to leave during that time. Several officials familiar with the planning spoke on condition of anonymity be- cause they were not autho- rized to talk about the issue publicly before the final de- tails have been worked out. In a statement to The As- sociated Press, Carter said, "we must ensure that every- one who's able and willing to serve has the full and equal opportunity to do so. And we must treat all of our people with the dignity and respect they deserve. Going forward the Department of Defense must and will continue to improve how we do both." Some of the key concerns involved in the repeal of the ban include whether the military would conduct or pay for the medical costs, surgeries and other treat- ment associated with any gender transition, as well as which physical training or testing standards trans- gender individuals would be required to meet dur- ing different stages of their transition. Officials said the military also wants time to tackle questions about where transgender troops would be housed, what uniforms they would wear, what berthing they would have on ships, whichbathroomstheywould use and whether their pres- ence would affect the ability ofsmallunitstoworkwellto- gether.Themilitaryhasdealt with many similar questions as it integrated the ranks by race, gender and sexual ori- entation. Transgender people — those who identify with a different gender than they were born with and some- times take hormone treat- ments or have surgery to develop the physical char- acteristics of their preferred gender — are banned from military service. But stud- ies and other surveys have estimated that as many as 15,000 transgender people serve in the active duty mil- itary and the reserves, often in secret but in many cases with the knowledge of their unit commander or peers. "Obviously this isn't fin- ished, but Secretary Cart- er's clear statement of in- tent means that transgen- der service members should and will be treated with the same dignity as other ser- vice members," said Allyson Robinson, Army veteran and policy director for an associ- ation of lesbian, gay, bisex- ual and transgender mili- tary personnel called Ser- vice members, Partners, and Allies for Respect and Toler- ance for All, or SPARTA. The move follows several weeks of high level meet- ings in the Pentagon among top ranking military chiefs, secretaries and Defense De- partment leaders, includ- ing one on Monday involv- ing Carter and the chiefs of the various services.
