How should the division address Equal Opportunity and harassment prevention?

• A. Ignore complaints and allow harassment.
• B. Enforce EO policies, respond promptly to complaints, and promote a respectful environment through training and supervision.
• C. Punish all sailors regardless of policy.
• D. Wait for external agencies to handle issues.

Answer: (B)

The division should enforce Equal Opportunity and harassment-prevention policies, respond promptly to complaints, and promote a respectful environment through training and supervision. As a Division Officer, you’re on the front line of policy enforcement, ensuring everyone understands EO rules, applying them consistently, and taking every complaint seriously to protect victims and maintain trust. Prompt responses help prevent escalation, facilitate timely investigations, and demonstrate that retaliation against those who speak up will not be tolerated. Building a respectful climate comes from ongoing training, clear expectations, and active supervision that models appropriate behavior, provides bystander intervention guidance, and corrects issues as they arise. Ignoring complaints, punishing all sailors indiscriminately, or waiting for external agencies to handle problems delays resolution, undermines trust, and fails to uphold Navy policy.
