The Equal Employment Opportunity Officer (EEOO) advises and assists the Commander and staff on matters pertaining to federal civilian equal employment opportunities and practices.  The EEO staff monitors the civilian workforce to ensure compliance with Title VII law to eliminate discrimination.  The EEOO supervises the implementation and management of the Affirmative Employment Plan (AEP), the Special Emphasis Programs (SEP), the Discrimination Complaint Processing Program, and the Individuals with Disabilities Program.  The EEOO provides administrative support to the Department of Defense, Office of Complaint Investigations (OCI), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

WHY WE EXIST?  The foundation for EEO can be traced back to the U.S. Constitution.  However, significant progress in shaping current laws was made between 1941 and 1991.  Executive Orders barring discrimination, passage of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Employment Act of 1972 are the cornerstones for eliminating employment discrimination.

WHAT WE DO?  EEO ensures a discrimination-free environment and   provides employees with rights and procedures for redress when they believe discrimination has occurred.
