I would go with whatever is on DEOMI. Are you asking about the most current Army policies? If they haven't updated policies since 2015 that's probably the most current information. The last update to 600-20 was 2014. If you click on some of the links those have resources and diversity information.
I don't think EO has had any update since 2015.

The most current AR 600-20 is Nov 2014 on APD. I don't keep up much with EO policies and more SHARP. I haven't been EO since 2007 and was a SARC at my last unit so I couldn't do both. I've kept up more on SHARP.

Maybe try to contact Army G1 and ask why their site hasn't been updated. I'm sure there's a contact area on the page.

SFC (Join to see) May be because the DoDI and DoDM, the NDAAs, and Directive type Memo are easier to publish than a regulation update. I have seen very outdated regulations, but you can get updated info from MilPer messages and the S1Net.

I have spent the past week gathering resources from EOLs and EOA that I know. I wanted to find a little more updated information, so I did a little searching. I looked on AKO’s EO page which hadn't been updated since 2013, then I looked at Army G1's EO page which hadn't been updated since 2015, then I looked at other installations around the army and many of them weren't updated either. The only real sites that I found were civilian ones or posters, observance information, and some guidance from DEOMI. I am always seeing training, presentations, and festivals celebrating the multitude of cultures and ethnicities which make up the army but it seems that none of it is making it way online. Is there some kind of information repository that should be created or does one already exist?

Have you tried going directly to your unit EOA? If they don't have it available, call your garrison EOA to get the most up-to-date information.

I had this problem when I was an EOA. DEOMI is always on top of the latest information and a good resource to use. G1 doesn’t have EO as a priority, SHARP program is the focus point of when I left EO 2 years ago.

Perhaps looking in the wrong places? Would need more information on where you have tried obtaining the info.

SFC Miller, I have all the new stuff. Just was wondering why it was so hard to find it. Army G1 hasn't even updated their site sine 2015. And there have been at least three major regulation/policy changes in the past year. That's crazy when the headquarters doesn't update their stuff. DEOMI does keep a pretty good historical database but I believe there should be a combined SharePoint or archive that has everything. Like a CALL or JLL but for EO/SHARP.
