Filing a Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) complaint
All LANG personnel serving in Title 32 status (a military pay status) who believe they have been discriminated against based upon race, color, religion, sex (includes sexual harassment), national origin or reprisal based on EO activity may file a request to resolve the discrimination allegations.
Your chain of command is the primary channel for resolving discrimination complaints but not required. Complainants and commanders must adhere to strict time requirements for filing complaints. Please see the MEO complaint procedures below for more details and contact your Equal Opportunity Advisor or email the mailbox below.

Sexual Harassment Reporting
If you are reporting anything “sexual” in nature component, please contact the Louisiana National Guard Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program (SAPR) 24/7-monitored number at (225) 329-8254, in order to maintain confidentiality while determining what resource is best for you.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
The Louisiana National Guard supports Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which offers parties in conflict a faster and less formal way to resolve their differences outside of the court system. By using methods such as mediation or negotiation, individuals can work towards finding mutually beneficial solutions tailored to their specific needs. ADR promotes effective communication, collaboration, and often results in more sustainable and satisfying outcomes for all involved.
