Equal Opportunity


The goal of the EO Program is to enhance human relations and organizational effectiveness by maximizing human potential and quality leadership through the fair treatment of all Soldiers, civilian employees, and their family members which support readiness and ensures mission accomplishment in the Wiesbaden military community.


Equal Opportunity Program Leaders:

(1) Assist commanders in addressing EO climate detractors.

(2) Continuously assist commanders in the conduct of unit climate assessments.

(3) Prepare and assist the commander in the conduct of EO training.

(4) Establish and maintain liaison with other EORs and with the EOA at higher headquarters.

(5) Assist commanders and assigned project officers in preparing and conducting ethnic observances and special commemorations.

(6) Assist complainants by referring them to an appropriate agency for assistance. Complaints referred to another agency will be reported to the EOA. EORs may not conduct investigations and are not trained to fully advise investigating officers in their conduct of EO complaint investigations. Any commissioned officer performing the additional duty of an EOR may be asked (in the capacity of a commissioned officer and as a disinterested, third party) to conduct investigations. Yet, those situations should not concern EO complaints within their organization.

(7) Serve as a resource person for EO matters in the unit.


Formal Complaints:

  • Complainant must file in writing and swear to the accuracy of information provided
  • Requires specific actions by chain of command
  • Complainant will specify alleged concern, names, dates, witnesses, description of incident, and basis for filing
  • DA Form 7279-R must be used to record incident
  • Are subject to timelines and documentation of actions taken
