Can civilians file EO complaints under the Army's EO program?

Civilians indeed have the right to file Equal Opportunity (EO) complaints under the Army's EO program. This inclusion underscores the Army's commitment to maintaining a fair and equitable environment not only for military personnel but also for the civilian workforce. The Army recognizes that a diverse workforce contributes to overall effectiveness and mission success.

Importantly, the EO program is designed to address issues of discrimination and harassment based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and religion. Therefore, the ability of civilians to file complaints reflects an understanding that these issues can arise in various contexts within the Army's organizational structure, and that all individuals affected by such behaviors deserve to be heard and have their grievances addressed.

In contrast, other options suggest limitations based on the status of individuals filing complaints, which do not align with the Army's broader aims toward inclusivity and fairness in addressing equal opportunity matters.
