What is the purpose of Command Managed Equal Opportunity (CMEO)?

The purpose of Command Managed Equal Opportunity (CMEO) is to manage command-related equal opportunity issues effectively. CMEO is a proactive program designed to address and resolve issues of discrimination, harassment, and unequal treatment within a military command. Its primary aim is to foster an inclusive environment where all personnel feel valued and respected, irrespective of their background. CMEO provides a structured framework for addressing complaints and implementing interventions, ensuring that all members of the command have fair access to opportunities, resources, and treatment.

While equal training opportunities, diversity in the workforce, and evaluating personnel qualifications are important aspects of overall command management, they are not the direct focus of CMEO. The CMEO specifically deals with the enforcement of policies and practices that prevent discrimination and promote equal opportunity, thereby creating a more equitable workplace for all service members.
