Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) is a function of command. Marine Corps leaders must ensure their people are well-led and cared for physically, emotionally, and spiritually, in and out of combat. “Taking care of Marines” means vigorously enforcing our high standards of performance and conduct. We will hold each other accountable and address violations expeditiously, at the lowest appropriate level.
The responsibility of a successful MEO program rests with the commander. Commanders have earned special trust and confidence and are accountable for all of their decisions, actions, and inactions. The Prohibited Activities and Conduct (PAC) prevention and response measures provide commanders the discretion to assess, investigate, and take corrective action to ensure unit cohesion and warfighting effectiveness.
Marine Corps small unit leaders, company-grade officers and mid-grade staff noncommissioned officers (SNCOs) have experience, maturity, and close daily connection to our most junior Marines. These leaders are in the best position to lead, educate, train, supervise, and instill our high standards.
Prohibited discriminatory and harassment practices within the Marine Corps are counter-productive, unacceptable, and will not be tolerated. The Marine Corps will maintain a culture of dignity, care, and concern in which all members of the organization are afforded equal treatment and opportunity to achieve their full potential based upon individual merit, fitness, intellect, and ability. All service members will cultivate an environment free from PAC. PAC undermine morale, reduce combat readiness, and prevent maximum utilization and development of the Marine Corps’ most vital asset: its people.
Equal Opportunity Advisors: EOAs advise commanders and military personnel on MCO 5354.1G Prohibited Actions and Conduct (PAC) policy, complaint procedures; case management oversight, provide input into policies and programs for supported commands; and as directed by cognizant authority inspect command level MEO Programs and assist with unit Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) survey administration. EOAs serve as the command point of contact for MEO training resources and materials. EOAs may also conduct training and senior leader workshops on varied human relations topics that are approved by MPE.
Equal Opportunity Coordinators: EOCs are a vital part of creating and cultivating an environment of dignity, respect, and trust at the command level. Marines assigned as EOCs are the commander’s primary asset to monitor command climate. They serve at the discretion of the commander. EOC billet responsibilities are assigned as collateral duties. EOCs are not considered SMEs. Rather, they serve as the command liaison with the servicing EOA/MEO office and a source of information for the commander.
EOCs shall:
· Understand the current state of the EO Program (policies and procedures)
· Understand the PAC complaint process
· Facilitate annual PAC training
· Conduct warm hand off from service members who want to file a complaint with the servicing EOA
· Receive quarterly training from EOAs
· May be designated as an administrator for the Command Climate Assessment (CCA)
· May stand inspections for the MEO program
EOCs cannot conduct PAC Complaint Intakes.
You can report through your:
Chain of Command
The Chain of Command is the primary and preferred channel to prevent and respond to complaints of PAC. Use of the chain of command to address PAC exemplifies trust in leadership to quickly and effectively address violations of our standards.
Equal Opportunity Advisor
EOAs are the Marine Corps SMEs on command climate and PAC. EOAs are assigned by DC M&RA.
Anonymous Reporting
Anonymous Reports may be communicated by several means, including but not limited to organizational hotlines or advice lines, electronic mail, official telephone lines, the Inspector General’s office or NCIS online pages. Action taken will depend on the extent of the information provided by the complainants. Service members who file a complaint in-person cannot choose to remain anonymous.
