First sentence: RAND was asked by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to undertake a study of minority representation in special operations forces (SOF) as a result of concerns expressed by the House of Representatives regarding the "significant underrepresentation of minorities in certain areas of the SOF" (U.S. Congress, 1997).
