2024 Command Climate Assessment Toolkit

In 2023, the Secretary of Defense directed an annual requirement to measure unit command climate using the annual Defense Equal Opportunity Climate Survey (DEOCS). Commanders are responsible for initiating their 2024 surveys in the DEOCS portal beginning 1 AUG 24 and no later than 31 OCT 24 (allowing at least 30-days for your Service member to complete the survey).
