Navpers 5354 2 Form PDF Details

In the context of maintaining fairness and equity within the United States Navy, the NAVPERS 5354/2 form plays a pivotal role as the Naval Equal Opportunity (EO) Formal Complaint Form. This document, grounded in the directives of OPNAVINST 5354.1F and under the legal authority provided by 10 U.S.C. 5013 (g), lays out a structured procedure for service members to formally report allegations of discrimination or incidents of sexual harassment. It serves not only as a mechanism to report grievances based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin but also provides various options for resolution, including informal processes and the involvement of higher authority if necessary. The form details the need to protect the privacy of all involved parties throughout the complaint process, a salient feature underscored by SECNAVINST 5211.5 series, and highlights the potential use of information gathered for data analysis, reporting, and as a part of response strategies to outside inquiries. Additionally, it emphasizes the voluntary nature of disclosure, with a caution that inadequate data may lead to complaint rejection, and delineates a 60-day window from the incident date to file a formal complaint, thereby ensuring timeliness in addressing grievances. The comprehensive design of the NAVPERS 5354/2 form, enriched by the avenues it provides for advice, advocacy, and follow-up, marks its significance in fostering an environment of equality and support within the Navy, ensuring that all service members have a voice and a recourse to justice.
