VISION

To provide the most responsive, caring and professional support to all 3d MLG family members thereby increasing both family and warfighting readiness.

MISSION 

MCO 5354.1G updates Marine Corps policy, procedures, and responsibilities for preventing and responding to prohibited conduct involving sexual harassment, prohibited discrimination, harassment, hazing, and bullying.

COMMANDER'S INTENT 

Prohibited Activities and Conduct: Prohibited activities and conduct include sexual harassment, prohibited discrimination, harassment, hazing, bullying. The Marine Corps will provide equal opportunity and address any instances of prohibited discrimination with regard to race, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or religion. Marines and Sailors lead by challenging, supporting, mentoring, training, educating, and investing in one another. We will maintain a culture of dignity and respect, which all members are afforded equal treatment and opportunity to achieve their full potential based upon individual merit, fitness, intellect, and ability. Every member of this Division has an obligation to lead, strengthen the high standards of the Marine Corps, and cultivate an environment free of prohibited activities. Likewise, all personnel have an obligation to report actual, suspected, or alleged prohibited activities and conduct.

EEO: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) covers all civilian personnel and employment programs and provides civilians an avenue or redress for instances of reprisal, harassment, sexual harassment, hostile work

environment, and the expanded list of prohibited discrimination categories to include color, race, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, religion, age, physical/mental disability, and genetic information. DoD civilian employee is defined by Section 2105 of Title 5, U.S.C. If any civilian employee believes they have been the victim of unlawful discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, or reprisal, they may contact unit Equal Opportunity Advisors or seek assistance directly with the MCIPAC EEO Office in person, using the email: MCBBUTLEREEO@usmc.mil, or going directly to the website: https://www.mcipac.marines.mil/Staff-and-Sections/Special-Staff/EEO/

HOW TO REPORT A PAC COMPLAINT 

You can report through your 

 1. Chain of Command

     The Chain of Command is the primary and preferred channel to prevent and respond to complaints of PAC. Use of the chain of command to address PAC exemplifies trust in leadership to quickly and effectively address violations of our standards.

 2. Equal Opportunity Advisor (EOA) 

     EOAs are the Marine Corps Subject Matter Experts on PAC, Command Climate Assessments, PAC Prevention, and the Marines Corps’ Military Equal Opportunity Mission. There are civilian supervisory EOAs and uniformed boarded and assigned EOAs by USMC Manpower & Reserve Affairs. EOAs are the authorized source within the command to receive complaints on behalf of the commander. Note, only EOAs are authorized to take confidential complaints for sexual harassment cases.

3. Anonymous Reporting 

     Anonymous Reports may be communicated by several means, including but not limited to organizational hotlines or advice lines, electronic mail, or official telephone lines. Action taken will depend on the extent of the information provided by the anonymous complainant. Service members who file in person cannot choose to remain anonymous.
