Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Civilian Mission

To prevent employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, reprisal, or genetic information and promote equal employment opportunity, diversity and inclusion within the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

Complaint Processing

Complaints Processing. It is the policy of the Department of the Army (DA) and TRADOC to provide equal employment opportunity for its employees and applicants for employment in every aspect of their employment and working conditions. Important aspects of an effective equal employment opportunity program are a vigorous affirmative program and a discrimination processing system, which facilitates the early informal resolution of complaints raised. Listed below are bases of use in the administrative process.

• Race
• Color
• Religion
• Sex (Including Sexual Harassment, Sexual Orientation & Pregnancy)
• National Origin
• Age (40 or older)
• Disability Mental or Physical
• Reprisal/Retaliation
• Genetic Information

Special Emphasis Programs (SEP)

Special Emphasis Programs are an integral part of Equal Employment Opportunity. The purpose of these programs is to ensure that agencies take affirmative steps to provide equal opportunity to minorities, women and people with disabilities in all areas of employment. Special Emphasis Programs receive their authority from Federal statues, regulations, and Presidential Executive Orders which include, but are not limited to, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Rehabilitation Act, Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The term, “Special Emphasis Programs,” refers to employment related programs which focus special attention on groups that are underrepresented in a specific occupational category or grade level within work force. These programs serve as a channel to management officials. By utilizing Special Emphasis Program and engaging with affinity groups, commands and activities can raise awareness of the importance of diversity and inclusion and demonstrate TRADOC’s commitment to a model workplace for the many thousands of Civilians and Soldiers that are assigned. TRADOC also engages with affinity groups in support of our military recruitment efforts as well as for individual recognition in their awards program. As hiring and budgetary restrictions soften, TRADOC expects to use several affinity groups to assist in targeted recruitment efforts of Civilians. To top off our Special Emphasis Program, TRADOC conducts Special Commemorations and Ethnic Observances to provide culture awareness to everyone.

Federal Women’s Program

TRADOC fully supports the Army’s Federal Women’s Program. The Federal Women’s Program (FWP) is a Special Emphasis Program which was established in 1963 to enhance employment and advancement of women. Executive Order 11478, signed in 1969 by President Nixon, placed overall responsibility for managing the FWP under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and ultimately includes the EEO Directors and Officers. As one of the Special Emphasis Programs, it helps place emphasis on achieving equal employment opportunity within the workplace for women. In TRADOC, where both diversity, inclusion and equity are paramount, we are working to improve the participation rate of women in the senior grades including the senior executive service.

Hispanic Employment Program

TRADOC fully supports diversity and inclusion. The Hispanic Employment Program is part of the Special Emphasis Program and seeks to increase the number and advancement of Hispanics in the workforce and in senior grades. Within the Army and TRADOC there has been persistent low participation of Hispanics within the workforce. Diversity, inclusion and equity are hallmarks of TRADOC. One of TRADOC’s diversity and inclusion goals is to increase the participation rate of Hispanics in the senior grades including the senior executive service.

Executive Order 11478: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/executive-order/11478.html

Asian American Employment Program

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are the fastest growing racial group in the United States based on information from the U.S. Census. The purpose of this Special Emphasis Program is to advocate for the recruitment, hiring, retention, and advancement of Asian American and Pacific Islanders. Additionally, it is to identify and eliminate barriers and encourage profession development. On 14 October 2009, President Obama signed Executive Order 13515 – Increasing Participation of Asian American and Pacific Islander in Federal Program. In TRADOC, where both diversity, inclusion and equity are paramount, we are working to improve the participation rate of Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the senior grades including the senior executive service.

American Indian and Alaska Native Employment Program

The purpose of the American Indian and Alaska Native Employment Program is to advocate for recruitment, hiring, retention, and advancement of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Additionally, it is to identify and eliminate barriers and encourage profession development. Executive Orders 13583 and 13593 aim to improve their participation in the Federal workforce and improve educational opportunities. In TRADOC, where both diversity, inclusion and equity are paramount, we seeks to improve the participation rate of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the senior grades.

Persons with Disabilities Employment Program

TRADOC is committed to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion and persons with disabilities are included in that goal. Persons with disabilities and especially those with targeted disabilities are an untapped resource and have the knowledge, skills, and abilities that TRADOC needs to continually improve the Army. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination based on disability and encourages employment in the Federal government. There has also been a number of Executive Orders issued by several Presidents. Two of the more recent ones include President Clinton issued Executive Order 13163, in July 2000, with a goal of hiring 100,000 people with disabilities, including people with targeted disabilities in the Federal Government over 5 years. Then in July 2010, President Obama issued Executive Order 13548 which emphasized the Government’s role as being a model employer of people with disabilities to include recruitment, hiring, and retention. As such, TRADOC like the Army, uses many tools available such as Schedule A Hiring Authority, Workforce Recruitment Program for Students and Graduates with Disabilities, Pathways, Wounded Warriors, etc., to increase its number of persons with disabilities, particularly those with targeted disabilities. TRADOC has a very viable disability program that is fully committed to improving its organizational culture and climate be a model employer within the Federal government.

Disabled Veteran’s Affirmative Action Program

It is the policy of TRADOC to continually seek opportunities to hire, train, retain, and advance qualified disabled veterans, particularly those who are 30 percent or more disabled. At the close of FY 19, disabled Veterans represented 42.7% of the workforce. TRADOC uses variety of methods to recruit and employ disabled veterans, especially those who are 30 percent or more disabled. Methods include Schedule A Hiring Authority, the Veterans’ Recruitment Appointment (VRA), the Veterans Employment Opportunity Act (VEOA), Wounded Warrior, Pathways, Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students and Recent Graduates, the Non-Paid Work Experience Program, and job fairs. TRADOC is required to submit a Disabled Veteran Affirmative Action Plan report to HQDA on an annual basis. TRADOC Disabled Veterans Affirmative Action Program represents a good new story for us.

EO Complaint Processing

The EO complaints processing system addresses complaints that allege unlawful discrimination or unfair treatment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (to include gender identity), national origin or sexual orientation and harassment which includes hazing, bullying and other discriminatory harassment. Attempts should always be made to solve the problem at the lowest possible level within an organization.

The Bases of Discrimination are as follows:

Race Discrimination:

It involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because he/she is of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features.)

Color Discrimination:

Color Discrimination also can involve treating someone unfavorably because of the person is married to (or associated with) a person of a certain race or color, because of a person’s connection with a race-based organization or group that is generally associated with people of a certain color. Discrimination can occur when the victim and the person who inflicted the discrimination are the same race or color.

Sex Discrimination (Including Gender Identity):

It involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of that person’s sex. It also can involve treating someone less favorably because of his or her connection with an organization or group that is generally associated with people a certain sex.

Religious Discrimination:

It involves treating a person (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because of his or her religious beliefs. Religious discrimination can also involve treating someone differently because that person is married to (or associated with) an individual of a particular religion or because of his or her connection with a religious organization or group.

National Origin Discrimination:

This discrimination involves treating people (i.e., applicants or employees) unfavorably because they are from a particular country or part of the world, because of ethnicity or accent, or because they are appear to be of a certain ethnic background. National origin discrimination also involve treating someone differently because that person is married to (or associated with) an individual of a particular religion or because of his or her connection with a religious organization or group. Discrimination can occur when the victim and the person who inflicted the discrimination are the same national origin.

Sexual Orientation Discrimination:

It refers to unlawful discrimination based on a person’s emotional, romantic, and sexual attraction to individuals of a particular gender. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) or straight are the most commonly referred sexual orientations.

Harassment:

Harassment which includes hazing, bullying and other discriminatory harassment.

Informal Complaint

An informal complaint is any complaint that a Soldier, family members or DA civilian does not wish to file in writing. Informal complaints may be resolved directly by the individual, with the help of another unit member, the commander or other person in the complainant’s chain of command.

Formal Complaint

A formal complaint is one that a complainant files in writing and swears to the accuracy of the information. Formal complaints require specific actions, are subject to timelines, and require documentation of the actions taken.

Anonymous Complaint

An anonymous complaint is one that a complainant files while remaining unidentified may be handled as either an informal or formal complaint. The Command will determine if sufficient information is provided to process as either a informal or formal complaint. The Command will be identified as the complainant on the DA Form 7279 (Equal Opportunity and Harassment Complaint Form).

SHARP Annual Training

Prevention and Training Overview:

An educated Army Community led by knowledgeable, informed Leaders are essential to establishing an effective climate of prevention. Among the Army’s innovations in training, is its integration of sexual harassment and sexual assault training to address prevention at the earliest point in the continuum of harm. This approach is unique among the Services, but is designed to address behaviors before they escalate into more serious offenses.

Leaders across the Army are taught about sexual assault myths and facts, fostering a preventive culture, ensuring a safe reporting environment, and ensuring appropriate accountability. Soldiers are taught about offender tactics, how to intervene to stop sexual assaults from occurring, and how to report an incident. Soldiers and DA Civilians are taught how they can influence the safety of the Army Community and the workplace. The Army’s efforts are very much an “all-hands-on-deck approach”, with intervention to stop incidents occurring from the individual Soldier level on up.

Catch a Serial Offender “CATCH” Program

The CATCH Program gives people making a Restricted Report an opportunity to anonymously disclose suspect information to help the Department of Defense identify serial offenders. CATCH allows sexual assault victims (Service members and adult dependents) to discover if the suspect in their Restricted Report may have also assaulted another person (a “match” in the CATCH website), and having that knowledge, decide whether to convert their Restricted Report to Unrestricted to initiate an investigation of the serial offender suspect. For more information, contact your local Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) or Victim Advocate (VA).
