<p>The purpose of the rule is to incorporate DoD Directive 5124.02, "Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD (P&amp;R))," and DoD Directive 1020.02, "Diversity Management and Equal Opportunity (EO) in the Department of Defense." This rule will&nbsp;prevent unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, or age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance from the DoD or a DoD component. This rule provides policies and procedures for DoD civilian employees or applicants for civilian employment to follow who believe that they have been discriminated against in the workplace or during the process of applying for DoD civilian employment. The revisions to this rule are part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at:&nbsp;http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=DOD-2011-OS-0036.</p>
