The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) is a joint service field activity of the DoD. DEOMI's mission is to enhance leadership and readiness by fostering Equal Opportunity and Equal Employment Opportunity programs and positive human relations through education training and research.

DEOMI's education directorates provide training in equal opportunity and equal employment opportunity to specially selected military members including Coast Guard, National Guard, Reservists and Armed Forces civilians, as well as representatives from other federal agencies.

The institute graduates approximately 1,250 resident students per year. DEOMI conducts 12 on-campus courses. Five of the courses focus on military EO program and the remainder is designed for EEO professionals. In addition, DEOMI conducts special seminars for senior leaders and reaches worldwide audiences with its mobile training teams.

DEOMI's research directorate provides organizational assessments (Military Equal Opportunity Climate Survey), produces background material for federal observances and acts as a clearinghouse for DoD. The new DEOMI campus, completed in October 2003, is a 92,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility located on the scenic Banana River. It provides students, faculty and staff with modern classrooms, lecture halls, library and research facilities.

The mission of the Naval Ordnance Test Unit (NOTU) is to serve the country by supporting and testing sea-based weapons systems in a safe environment. NOTU is an Echelon III Department of the Navy field command under the cognizance of the Director, Strategic Systems Programs. In 1950, the command was created as a component of the U.S. Joint Long Range Proving Ground, Cape Canaveral.

In 1956, it was reorganized under a commanding officer and designated as the Naval Ordnance Test Unit. By 1963, NOTU was directing almost all of its effort toward support of Fleet Ballistic Missile development. In view of this, the command was assigned to the Director, Special Projects (now Strategic Systems Program), with a mission to support the development of the Polaris Missile.

The command directly supports the mission capability and readiness of the U.S. Navy's Trident submarines. NOTU also supports the Fleet Ballistic Missile Program of the United Kingdom through the Polaris Sales Agreement. NOTU operates the Navy Port at Port Canaveral, supporting more than 200 visits a year by submarines and surface ships of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet and foreign navies. Service to the Fleet includes providing tugs and pilots, pier-side service and logistics, supply and stores requisitioning and delivery, conventional weapons handling and crew recreation.

The command's mission also includes supporting assets of the Military Sealift Command. The USNS WATERS is homeported at the Navy Port and is assigned as the Launch Area Support Ship (LASS) for submarine-launched missile operations. Additionally, USNS WATERS supports testing of the Trident Navigation System. NOTU facilities include a missile assembly and checkout facility, ordnance storage magazines, a launch pad (Complex 46), data acquisition and analysis facilities, test instrumentation facilities, support shops and offices and the Poseidon and Trident wharves.

The command also has Morale Welfare & Recreation (MWR) facilities, which include a Navy Club (nicknamed "The Greehouse"), ball fields, tennis, racquetball and volleyball courts and a fitness center. The command is comprised of approximately 100 active duty service personnel. Most are submariners with several years of experience in their field, specifically missile technicians, electronics technicians and storekeepers. Additionally, there are nearly 60 government civil service employees assigned to the command. The workforce is complemented by more than 500 contractors from organizations and agencies that support the Strategic Systems Program. The contractors provide full support for FBM missile tests and other command mission elements, including data collection and analysis.

The Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) Test Force (JTF) is located in the Northrop Grumman test facility next to the Melbourne International Airport and is a field activity of Air Force Materiel Command's Electronic Systems Center JSTARS Systems Program Office. The JSTARS JTF consists of Air Force and Army developmental and operational testers who provide expertise in the testing and fielding of the JSTARS aircraft and ground station modules. JTF personnel have conducted initial development and ongoing operational testing of air and ground components and upgrade programs since 1989.
