SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Defense Organizational
Climate Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-DOCS.
Needs and Uses: The Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS)
is fielded in response to Section 572 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. A May 2019 memo from the Acting
Secretary of Defense directed that the goals of the DEOCS include
developing and providing leaders with assessment tools ``that help them
with developing an appropriate course of action from a suite of
interventions and provide them with feedback on their impact of their
efforts.'' The information gathered from the DEOCS will be used by
commanders, prevention workforce personnel, equal opportunity officers,
survey administrators, and other leaders to assess the unit's command
climate and measure the risk and protective factors associated with the
six strategic target outcomes (sexual assault, sexual harassment,
racial/ethnic discrimination, suicide, readiness, and retention). Based
on the DEOCS results, commanders, leaders, and their survey
administrators will develop an action plan to positively impact their
organization's leadership climate. The survey results are provided to
the commander/leader and their survey
