The Navy plans to assess whether it should include official photos in officer promotion packages, one of the questions that will be addressed by the task force that’s looking into inclusion and diversity in the sea service. The Army announced last month that it would do away with the official photos as part of officer promotion boards starting in August, part of an effort to eliminate unconscious bias from the process. Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. John B. Nowell Jr. told reporters that the Navy will be deliberate and take its time with such a decision.
