MISSION

“The MCO 5354.1G establishes Marine Corps policy, procedures, and responsibilities for preventing and responding to PAC behaviors that involve harassment, hazing, bullying, prohibited discrimination, and sexual harassment.

COMMANDER'S INTENT

Uniformed and civilian leadership at every level must ensure their people are well-led and cared for physically, emotionally, and spiritually, to operate inside actively contested maritime spaces in support of fleet operations. “Taking care of Marines” means enforcing our high professional standards of performance, conduct and discipline. We will hold each other accountable, recognize superior performance and address violations.

The responsibility of a successful MEO Program rests with the commander. Commanders have earned special trust and confidence and are accountable for all their decisions, actions, and inactions. The PAC prevention and response measures in enclosure (2) of this Order provides commanders the tools to assess, investigate, and take corrective action to ensure unit cohesions and warfighting effectiveness.

Unit leaders, company-grade officers, and staff non-commissioned officers (SNCOs) have experience, maturity, and close daily connection to junior Marines and Sailors. These leaders are in the best position to instill core values, train, supervise, mentor, and lead by their example.

POLICY

Prohibited discriminatory and harassment practices within the Marine Corps are counter-productive, unacceptable, and will not be tolerated. The Marine Corps will maintain a culture of dignity, care, and concern in which all members of the organization are afforded equal treatment and opportunity to achieve their full potential based upon individual merit, fitness, intellect, and ability. All Service members will cultivate an environment free from PAC. PAC undermine morale, reduce combat readiness, and prevent maximum utilization and development of the Marine Corps’ most vital asset: its people.
