Policy:
Prohibited discriminatory and harassment behaviors within the Marine Corps are counter-productive to mission readiness, unacceptable, and are not tolerated. The Marine Corps maintains a culture of dignity, care, and respect in which all members of the organization are afforded equal treatment and opportunity to achieve their full potential based upon individual merit, fitness, intellect, and ability. All commanders will cultivate an environment free from PAC. The behaviors identified in this Order undermines morale, reduces combat readiness, and prevent maximum utilization and development of the Marine Corps’ most vital asset- its Marines and Sailors.
Mission
Ensure mission readiness and personnel retention for 2d MLG Marines through effective implementation of policies and employment of professional Equal Opportunity Advisors to prevent and respond to Prohibited Activities and Conduct that negatively impact command climate and organizational effectiveness.
