Equal Opportunity On Jan. 1, 2008, the Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) and civilian Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) offices merged together to become the Equal Opportunity (EO) Office. The Equal Opportunity (EO) office provides guidance in assisting commanders, staff agency chiefs, military and civilian personnel, family members and retirees on equal opportunity and human relations issues. Additionally, EO processes formal and informal discrimination/sexual harassment complaints and conducts human relations education. EO also makes referrals to appropriate agencies as necessary.
