Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT listed as an EO category?

Understand what characteristics the Army’s Equal Opportunity program protects. The protected categories are race, color, religion, sex (gender), and national origin. National origin covers the background or heritage a person comes from, rather than their current citizenship status. So, the option describing nationality isn’t a separate listed category because nationality is addressed by national origin in EO protections. The other choices—race, religion, and gender—are clearly protected.
