At what levels should Equal Opportunity Representatives (EORs) be appointed?

Equal Opportunity Representatives (EORs) play a crucial role in promoting a culture of inclusivity and recognizing the significance of equal opportunity within the military. The correct choice for their appointment is at the Company and Battalion levels.

This is primarily because EORs serve as the primary point of contact for commanders and soldiers for issues related to discrimination or harassment. Companies and Battalions are the fundamental organizational units that interact directly with soldiers on a day-to-day basis, making it essential for EORs to be present at these levels to effectively address concerns, facilitate communication, and promote a healthy work environment.

This grassroots approach allows for more immediate and relevant oversight of equal opportunity issues, creating an effective framework for addressing and resolving matters before they escalate. Additionally, having EORs at these levels ensures that initiatives and policies designed to foster equality are not only conceptualized but also implemented within the units where soldiers spend the majority of their time.
