What information should CCA administrators have ready to request a DEOCS?

Having the roster and service component ready is crucial for requesting a DEOCS (Defense Organizational Climate Survey) because this information ensures that the survey is accurately tailored to the specific groups participating. The roster provides the names and roles of individuals involved, allowing administrators to understand the demographics and operational context of the unit. Additionally, knowing the service component is essential because different branches of the military may have distinct climates and organizational structures that could influence survey results. This foundational data helps facilitate a more effective assessment of the command climate within that particular context.

In contrast, while budget estimates and annual team performance reviews may be relevant to organizational planning and development, they are not directly necessary for initiating a DEOCS request. Likewise, a list of preferred survey questions might be of use in customizing surveys after the initial request, but the lack of essential demographic information would hinder the ability to analyze the results specific to the organization in question.
