The Dept. of State (State) has designated 2/3 of its 268 overseas posts as hardship posts. Staff working at such posts often encounter harsh conditions, incl. inadequate med. facilities and high crime. These posts are vital to U.S. foreign policy objectives and need a full complement of staff with the skills to carry out the department's priorities. State offers staff at these posts a hardship differential -- an adjustment to basic pay -- to compensate officers for the conditions they encounter and as a recruitment and retention incentive. This report assesses: (1) State's progress in addressing staffing gaps at hardship posts since 2006 and the effect of any remaining gaps; and (2) the extent to which State has used incentives to address staffing gaps at hardship posts.

The Hardship Post: Poems, a poetry collection by Jehanne Dubrow, uses personal experience to meditate on the slipperiness of identity. The daughter of U.S. diplomats, Dubrow spent seven years of her childhood in Poland. As a result, Dubrow's poetry examines the ways in which the Shoah influences American Jewish identity. The Hardship Post centers on experimentation with traditional forms. Following WWII, Polish poets such as Czeslaw Milosz rejected Romantic, formal verse, believing that such poetry did not reflect the horrors of genocide. Here, Dubrow employs sonnets, villanelles, and rhymed couplets to ask whether received forms might not still have meaning "after Auschwitz." Through a combination of narrative and lyric poems, she addresses the antisemitism of communist-era Poland, the impact of the Shoah, and the challenges of Diaspora Judaism. A scholarly introduction, "Milktongue and Poetic Witness: Notes Toward Feeling and Conscience in The Hardship Post ," draws on essays by poets Donald Hall and Czeslaw Milosz to discuss the intersection of the personal and political in Dubrow's work. By connecting her own poetry to that of other American poets, including Alicia Ostriker, Robert Pinsky, and Marilyn Hacker, Dubrow places The Hardship Post within a Jewish literary tradition of political consciousness, displacement, and loss.

"There's a tensile strength of line here-predominantly pentameter-that underscores the ease of the poetic idiom: just as the heartfelt yet disciplined feeling-life of the content underwrites this collection's larger themes of Judaism and its ancient traditions. The Hardship Post has a good deal on its mind as well as the load in its heart. Polish history and heritage may be one personal focus, but displacement and identity are the greater subjects. First books don't usually take on the world at this level of seriousness and skill." -Stanley Plumly "I admire Jehanne Dubrow's poems not only for the poise and beauty of her lines, but also for the way she grapples with big subjects: inheritance and home, the cultural and the personal. A bearer of tradition, she also knows what it's like to lose herself in modernity. 'I don't belong where bodies separate / from minds like sand trying to leave behind / the sea.' Poems become strands of continuity stretched almost to breaking by mobility. Dubrow seems to have lived everywhere-and that is precisely where The Hardship Post should be read." -David Mason "At the place where the cruelties of history and those of story intersect, Jehanne Dubrow has staked a claim. These are poems of emotional intensity under formal control. An impressive first collection." -Linda Pastan

Foreign Service employees from the U.S. Dept. of State (DoS) experience a variety of adverse conditions while assigned to U.S. embassies and consulates that are considered hardship posts (HP). Among these conditions are inadequate med. facilities, few opport. for spousal employ., poor schools, high levels of crime, and severe climate. 60% of 259 diplomatic posts are classified as HP. Many are of strategic interest to the U.S., including those in China, the Middle East, and the former Soviet states. This report reviews DoS's performance in filling positions at HP. It examines: the number, experience, and skills of staff in hardship positions and how these may affect diplomatic readiness; and how well DoS's assignment system is meeting the staffing requirements of HP.
