Equal opportunity is the right of all personnel and applicants for federal employment. Civil rights laws, DoD, Air Force and Army policies protect active duty military, federal employees, applicants for employment and other civilians from harassment and discrimination based on race, color, sex (pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), religion, national origin and sexual harassment.
Civilians are additionally protected from age (over 40), disability (physical or mental), genetic information discrimination and reprisal (for prior EEO activity). Employment decisions will be made without regard to these factors and will be made fairly and equitably based on merit principles.
EEO/MEO initiatives focus on eliminating employment barriers and harnessing the strengths and benefits of diversity through inclusivity.
