MILITARY EO FOSTERS THE ENVIRONMENT
FOR TOTAL FORCE READINESS.
Our recognition and respect of one
another’s individual human dignity sustain this environment. Readiness leads to
mission success. To foster an environment for total force readiness Military EO
educates, trains, surveys, and when necessary, intervenes in defense of
individual dignity.
MERIT, FITNESS, AND CAPABILITY MUST
BE THE SOLE BASIS FOR CAREER SUCCESS.
EO helps commanders successfully
accomplish the Air Force mission, continuously. In the absence of personal,
social, or institutional barriers, commanders may develop, train, and sustain
the best mission-ready force. This is done when personnel assignments and
promotions are based solely on:
MERIT – FITNESS - CAPABILITY
