Barksdale AFB leadership maintains a strict "zero-tolerance" policy pertaining to discriminatory behavior. We encourage members to attempt to resolve issues at the lowest level (YOU) and to use the chain of command. However, you can also contact the EO office to schedule an appointment; or you may visit our office.

ADR is a voluntary option offered to everyone. It's process involves mediation, facilitation, structured negotiation, or other problem solving techniques, or any combination thereof, which often produces more efficient and effective outcomes.
Military Formal & Informal Complaint Process
Military Informal Complaint Process The informal complaint process is available as an alternative to filing a formal complaint. This process empowers the individual to decide on the best way or most appropriate means to address and resolve their concerns.
Military Formal Complaint Process When individuals believe their concerns about unlawful discrimination or sexual harassment can only be addressed through a formal process or they are not satisfied with the informal process, the EO formal complaint is the next option.
Time Line Individuals should submit formal allegations/unlawful discrimination or sexual harassment no later than 60 days after the alleged offense. If the 60-day window has passed, the complainant must provide sufficient justification or extenuating circumstances to the EO office for review and subsequent approval by the Installation Commander (IC).
Civilian Formal and Informal Complaint Process
Civilian Informal Complaint Process Aggrieved persons who believe they have been discriminated against on the basis of the EO protected categories, must consult an EO counselor prior to filing a complaint in order to try to informally resolve the matter.
Civilian Formal Complaint Process When there is no resolution at the informal stage the aggrieved person can file a formal complaint. This must be done in writing within 15 days of receipt of the Notice of Final Interview from the informal complaint process.
Time Line Individuals must contact the EO office within 45 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory offense.
