We're back with more reforms here at DOD, and this one is one of the most important ones we've done. The official title is Restoring Good Order and Discipline Through Balanced Accountability. A little wordy, but over the target. The real title that I call it, the No More Walking on Egg shells Policy. You see, too often at the Defense Department, there are complaints made for certain reasons that can't be verified that end people's career, either through EO or the IG. We need to reform that process completely so commanders can be commanders. Let me explain it a little bit more. So the DOD has equal opportunity programs for service members and civilians to report discrimination and harassment. That's a good thing. But what's not good is when these programs are weaponized. Some individuals use these programs in bad faith to retali ate against superiors or peers. I hear it all the time. Say you receive a bad evaluation. Well, file a military EO complaint. It's nonsense and we want to fix that. That's why today I'm signing a memo entitled, as I said, Restoring Good Order and Discipline Through Balanced Accountability. It directs a comprehensive review of equal opportunity programs to ensure prompt and impartial investigations, prompt and impartial, fair treatment to all parties involved, and timely, and timely and appropriate resolution of allegations of discrimination. So here's the goal. Empower leaders to make tough decisions, enforce standards, and restore good order and discipline. Otherwise known as no more walking on eggshells. This is an important one. Proud to sign it.
