What role do EO Advisors play in the Army?

EO Advisors play a vital role in promoting Equal Opportunity (EO) policies within the Army. Their primary function is to provide guidance and support to leaders and units in understanding and implementing EO policies effectively. They are instrumental in fostering an environment that values diversity, inclusion, and respect, ensuring that all soldiers are treated fairly and have equal access to opportunities regardless of their background.

Furthermore, EO Advisors conduct training sessions and workshops to educate soldiers and leaders about EO principles and the importance of maintaining a harassment-free workplace. This proactive approach helps in the prevention of discrimination and harassment, creating a more cohesive and effective force. By focusing on the promotion of EO policies and providing resources to address EO issues, EO Advisors significantly contribute to the overall mission readiness of the Army.

While they may participate in aspects of investigations or training in other areas, such as physical fitness, their primary responsibility is centered on the promotion and guidance of Equal Opportunity practices.
