EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Sexual assault is a crime that has no place in the United States Armed Forces.

1

 The 

Department of Defense worked aggressively during fiscal year 2014 to sustain and 

enhance its prevention and response system, through both programmatic initiatives and 

policy changes to combat sexual assault. The Department of Defense has many 

options in place to help victims2recover, address their safety, document the alleged

crime, and understand their legal options. 

Federal law requires the Department to provide Congress with an annual report on 

sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces. This report satisfies the 

requirement, which is in section 1631 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383).3,4 The report presents the Department’s 

programmatic activities and policy enhancements and also provides an analysis of 

reports of sexual assault made during fiscal year 2014 (October 1, 2013 through 

September 30, 2014). Included with this report are supplementary reports from the 

Secretaries of the Military Departments, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, and a 

report submitted by RAND Corporation for the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study.

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ON SEXUAL ASSAULT 

PREVENTION AND RESPONSE

In December 2013, the President of the United States directed the Secretary of Defense

to provide a report on the Department’s progress in addressing the issue of sexual 

assault, to include a review of the military justice system, by December 2014. As 

delivered to the White House on December 4, 2014, and shared with Congress, the

Report to the President of the United States on Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response encompassed the key programmatic initiatives and policy enhancements 

 

1 Department of Defense Directive 6495.01 defines sexual assault as intentional sexual contact 

characterized by use of force, threats, intimidation, or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or 

cannot consent. The crime of sexual assault includes a broad category of sexual offenses consisting of 

the following specific Uniform Code of Military Justice offenses: rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual 

contact, abusive sexual contact, forcible sodomy (forced oral or anal sex), or attempts to commit these 

offenses.

2 The use of the terms “victim” or “survivor” as they appear in this report are not intended to presume the 

commission of a crime or the guilt or innocence of any individual. 

3 The report also satisfies the following additional statutory reporting requirements: section 542 of Carl 

Levin and Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 

Law 113-291); section 575 of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-

239); section 567 of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84); and 

section 596 of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (Public Law 109-163).

4 The Department’s SAPR program is governed by Department of Defense Directive 6495.01, “Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Program,” and Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02, “Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Program Procedures.” 

5 Of 477,513 Department of Defense Active Duty Service members invited to take the survey, 145,300 

participated (about 30%). The respondents included 34% of the women sampled and about 28% of the 

men sampled.

undertaken by the Department in fiscal years 2012 through 2014, with accompanying 

rationale, as well as synopses and evidence of progress. 

The report also contained information from the new Survivor Experience Survey6 and a 

military focus group effort on sexual assault prevention and response, both fielded by 

the Defense Manpower Data Center; top-line results of the RAND Military Workplace 

Study; and provisional statistical data on the Department’s fiscal year 2014 reports of 

sexual assault. Provisional metrics and non-metrics developed by the Department, and 

approved by the White House, were also provided to assess strengths and opportunities 

for improvement in the Department’s sexual assault prevention and response program. 

In order to avoid duplication of effort and reporting, this report – the Fiscal Year 2014

Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military – is intended to provide Congress with 

an update to the information included in the Report to the President, as well as other 

information required by law. 

Data Validation Efforts for Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Report

In the Report to the President, the Department provided provisional statistical data on 

sexual assault for fiscal year 2014. These data were deemed provisional because there 

was insufficient time to thoroughly and completely collect and validate the thousands of 

reports and case dispositions received in fiscal year 2014. 

In this report, the Department provides final statistical data. Comprehensive data 

validation efforts by the Department, in the intervening time between the two reports 

account for small differences between the provisional statistical data and the final data 

presented here.

FISCAL YEAR 2014 DATA FINDINGS

From fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013, there was an unprecedented 53% increase in 

victim reports of sexual assault. In fiscal year 2014, the high level of reporting seen in 

fiscal year 2013 was sustained with 6,131 reports7of sexual assault8(see Figure 1, 

below). This figure represents an increase of 11% over fiscal year 2013 numbers. In 

 

6 The Survivor Experience Survey is an on-going survey of sexual assault survivors who volunteer to 

provide feedback on their experiences with the sexual assault response system. Data described in this 

report refer to a sample of 151 survivors who participated in the survey from June 4 to September 22, 

2014. The results of the Survivor Experience Survey may not be representative of all survivors in the 

force.

7 Each report consists of an official report documented by a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and/or 

Military Criminal Investigative Organization of an allegation of adult sexual assault that falls under Uniform 

Code of Military Justice articles defining rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual 

contact, nonconsensual sodomy, and attempts of these crimes.

8 Sexual assault is an underreported crime. This means the number of sexual assaults estimated to occur 

each year vastly outnumbers reports made to DoD authorities. While sexual assault remains 

underreported, the Department views increased reporting of the crime as beneficial for victims. Reporting 

allows victims to engage restorative care and services. In addition, it allows the Department to hold 

offenders appropriately accountable. 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

fiscal year 2014, victims made 4,660 Unrestricted Reports9 and 1,840 initial Restricted 

Reports10 of sexual assault. At the close of fiscal year 2014, 1,471 reports remained 

Restricted. Over time, the percentage of victims who convert their Restricted Reports to 

Unrestricted Reports has remained relatively stable with an average of 15%. However, 

in fiscal year 2014, the conversion rate increased to 20%.

Overall, surveys of sexual assault victims suggest that those who reported their sexual 

assault were satisfied with their decision. According to the 2014 RAND Military 

Workplace Study, approximately 72% of Service member victims who indicated that 

they reported their sexual assault said they would make the same decision if they had to 

do it over again. Furthermore, according to the Survivor Experience Survey, 73% of 

Service member victims who participated in the survey indicated that, based on their 

overall experience of reporting, they would recommend that others report.

 

9 An Unrestricted Report of sexual assault is a report that is provided to command and/or law enforcement 

for investigation.

10 Restricted Reporting allows victims to confidentially access medical care and advocacy services without 

triggering an investigation. Victims may convert their Restricted Report to an Unrestricted Report at any 

time and participate in the military justice process.

According to the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, the percentage of active duty 

women who experienced unwanted sexual contact in the past year declined from an 

estimated 6.1% in 2012 to an estimated 4.3% in 2014, a statistically significant 

decrease.11 For active duty men, the estimated prevalence rate of unwanted sexual 

contact trended downwards from 1.2% in 2012 to 0.9% in 2014.12, 13, 14 Based on these 

prevalence rates, an estimated 18,900 Service members experienced unwanted sexual 

contact in 2014, down from the 26,000 Service member victims estimated in 2012.15 

Assessment of Progress 

Out of the 6,131 reports of sexual assault in FY 2014, there were 4,768 Service 

Member victims who made a report for an incident that occurred during military 

Service16, a 16% increase from FY 2013. As reflected in Figure 2, 25%, or about 1 in 4 

of the estimated 18,900 Service member victims who experienced unwanted sexual 

contact made a Restricted or Unrestricted Report for an incident that occurred during 

military service. In fiscal year 2012, 11%, or about 1 in 10 of the estimated Service 

members who experienced the crime reported it. The estimated 25% reporting rate in 

fiscal year 2014 is the highest ever recorded for the Military Services. In other words, in 

fiscal year 2014, the estimated gap between reporting and prevalence among Service 

 

11 RAND Corporation used scientific weighting to estimate prevalence rates that were representative of 

the entire active duty population. Full methodological details and results are included in Annex 1.

12 RAND Corporation administered two versions of the prevalence survey; the Workplace and Gender 

Relations Survey form used questions from past surveys to allow for historical comparison and the RAND 

Military Workplace Study form used questions more closely aligned with legal language. Unwanted 

sexual contact is the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey term for the range of sexual crimes 

between adults. Unwanted Sexual Contact involves intentional sexual contact that was against a 

person’s will or occurred when the person did not or could not consent. The term describes completed 

and attempted oral, anal, and vaginal penetration with any body part or object, and the unwanted 

touching of genitalia and other sexually related areas of the body. “Sexual assault,” instead of unwanted 

sexual contact, is used when referring to the RAND Military Workplace Study form because that version 

of the survey more closely aligns with legal language. Past-year prevalence rates described in this report 

are primarily drawn from the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey form.

13 The decrease in prevalence for active duty men from 2012 to 2014 was not statistically significant. 

14 The Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members is conducted every two years by 

the Department, as required by 10 United States Code Section 481. In 2013, the Secretary directed that 

the 2014 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members be conducted by an agency 

external to the Department. Therefore, RAND Corporation conducted the survey to determine the 2014 

unwanted sexual contact prevalence rate. 

15 As with all victim surveys, RAND classifies service members as experiencing sexual assault, sexual 

harassment, or gender discrimination based on their memories of the event as expressed in their survey 

responses. It is likely that a full review of all evidence would reveal that some respondents whom RAND 

classifies as not having experienced sexual assault, sexual harassment, or gender discrimination based 

on their survey responses actually did have one of these experiences. Similarly, some whom RAMD 

classifies as having experienced a crime or violation may have experienced an event that would not meet

the minimum DoD criteria. A principal focus of RAND's survey development was to minimize both of 

these types of errors, but they cannot be completely eliminated in a self-report survey.

16 Although 5,284 Service member victims made sexual assault reports in FY 2014, 516 of them made a 

report for events that occurred prior to their entry into military service. This leaves 4,768 victims who 

made a report for an incident that occurred during military service.

members decreased to its narrowest point since the Department began tracking these 

data. When Service members who experienced sexual assault come forward to make a

report, the Department can provide victims with support and hold offenders 

appropriately accountable.

Efforts to Assess and Address Retaliation

Following the President’s request in 2013 for a report on sexual assault, the Department 

selected a number of metrics to measure progress in sexual assault prevention and 

response, including a metric to assess “perceived retaliation.”

18

 Historically, the 

Department has asked about retaliation on surveys to better assess victim well-being 

 

17 This graph depicts the estimated number of Service members who experienced unwanted sexual 

contact in the past year (based on the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members

estimated prevalence rates), versus the number of Service member victims in actual reports of sexual 

assault made to the Department in the years indicated. Note that although 5,284 Service members were 

victims and/or subjects in sexual assault reports in fiscal year 2014, 516 of them made a report for events 

that occurred prior to their entry into military service. 

18 It should be noted that the survey data collected provides broad perceptions of retaliation that do not 

necessarily align with actionable offenses that meet the elements of proof required for a charge of 

retaliation under military law.

10

and to understand the stressors victims experience following a report of sexual assault. 

The Department of Defense collects this information in order to better adjust support 

programs and tailor services and training to match victims’ needs. The White Houseapproved metric will enhance the Department’s ability to measure progress in this area.

In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of retaliation perceived by 

victims, the Department sought multiple sources of data:

 Command Climate Perspective (Defense Equal Opportunity Management 

Institute Organizational Climate Survey)

- The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational 

Climate Survey included six items to assess command climate indicators 

of retaliation against victims who choose to report sexual assault. Overall, 

Service members who completed the Defense Equal Opportunity 

Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey in 2014 perceived 

the potential for retaliation from their command and unit members to be 

low (i.e., they perceived a favorable climate associated with reporting).

 The 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study

- Of the 4.3% of women who indicated experiencing unwanted sexual 

contact in the past year and who reported the matter to a military authority 

or organization, 62% perceived some form of professional or social 

retaliation, administrative action, and/or punishment associated with their 

report (53% social retaliation, 35% adverse administrative action, 32%

professional retaliation, and 11% punishment for infraction19). However, 

because the data do not provide for the circumstances regarding 

administrative action or actions, which victims perceive as professional 

retaliation, we are unable to draw any conclusions regarding these 

numbers. Data for men were not reportable due to the small number of 

male respondents in this category. 

 

19 On the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, RAND provided the following as examples of 

professional retaliation: loss of privileges, denied promotion/training, and transferred to less favorable job. 

RAND provided the following as examples of social retaliation: being ignored by coworkers and being 

blamed for the situation. Examples of adverse administrative actions on the 2014 RAND Military 

Workplace Study included being placed on medical hold, placed on a legal hold, and transferred to a 

different assignment. On the survey, RAND provided the following as examples of infractions for which 

victims were cited: underage drinking or fraternization. Adverse administrative actions and punishment 

for infractions are not included under the category of "professional retaliation" because these actions are 

not necessarily retaliatory. They could occur after a sexual assault report to address victim safety and 

health concerns or to address collateral misconduct under military law. However, if these actions are 

taken with the intention of penalizing a victim for reporting a sexual assault, they could be considered 

professional retaliation.
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

11

 The 2014 Survivor Experience Survey

- In the Survivor Experience Survey, a similar pattern was observed

concerning retaliation, with 59% of respondents perceiving social 

retaliation and 40% of respondents perceiving professional retaliation.

In order to better assess the experience of retaliation and identify potential points for 

intervention, the Department plans to conduct a systematic review of retaliation

allegations made to the Service commands and Inspectors General. In addition, the 

Department will revise its survey questions to better align with Department policy and 

law addressing reprisal and ostracism. Finally, the Department will follow up on 

installation case management group execution of inquiring about allegations of 

retaliation during monthly meetings.20 These attempts to better define the scope of the 

problem and capture the efforts taken to address this unacceptable behavior will inform 

Department-wide efforts to prevent retaliation associated with reporting sexual assault.

NDAA Requirement Implementation 

The last three National Defense Authorization Acts focused significantly on sexual 

assault prevention and response issues with 71 sections of law containing more than 

100 unique requirements, to include 16 congressional reporting requirements. The 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 includes 33 sections of law, 

representing more than 50 individual provisions within those 33 National Defense 

Authorization Act sections. It contains the most sweeping reform to the Uniform Code 

of Military Justice since 1968, with 16 military justice provisions. 

Implementation of the fiscal year 2014 provisions is ongoing, and many have already 

been implemented. The issuance of policy documents, including Change 2 to the 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Instruction, updates to Military Personnel 

Policy,

21 and revisions of two Inspector General policy documents,22 incorporate the 

remaining provisions. 

Programmatic and Policy Updates Implemented in Fiscal Year 2014

From fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2014, the Secretary of Defense directed 41

initiatives that fundamentally reformed how the military prevents, responds to, and 

 

20 This was required by the Secretary of Defense in his memorandum that was published in December 

2014. The memo can be found here:

adjudicates sexual assault.23 Throughout the year, the Department worked diligently to 

comply with these initiatives. By the end of the fiscal year, 6 initiatives remained in 

progress. Many of the Secretary of Defense initiatives have been codified in National 

Defense Authorization Acts. 

The Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office organizes 

and reports the Department’s progress in the sexual assault prevention and response

program using the five lines of effort from the Department of Defense Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, revised and published in April 2013 and 

updated in January 2015. The five lines of effort are aligned across the Military 

Services and the National Guard Bureau, providing a coordinated approach to sexual 

assault prevention and response. During fiscal year 2014, the Department implemented 

several programmatic and policy enhancements to meet the objectives of the lines of 

effort:

 Prevention: In fiscal year 2014, the Department continued its focus on 

prevention through the 2014-2016 Department of Defense Sexual Assault 

Prevention Strategy. The new strategy provides a roadmap for the delivery of 

consistent and effective prevention initiatives through empirically based 

promising practices. It considers the complex interplay between individual, 

relationship, community, and societal factors and allows the Department to 

address those factors that put people at risk for experiencing or perpetrating 

violence. While there is no single “silver bullet” solution, this innovative 

prevention strategy allows for new promising practices to be incorporated, 

assessed, and adapted accordingly.

 Investigation: The objective of the Investigation Line of Effort is to achieve high 

competence in the investigation of sexual assault. In order to reach this 

objective, the Department established the Special Victim Investigation and 

Prosecution Capability, which became fully operational in January 2014. This 

initiative is not a specific person or team but a capability available globally 

throughout the Department to investigate and prosecute adult sexual assault 

offenses. The personnel who are part of the capability receive specialized 

training for their roles, which enhances the Department’s ability to produce timely 

and accurate investigative results. 

 Accountability: Holding offenders24 appropriately accountable is the objective of 

the Accountability Line of Effort, and victim participation in the military justice 

process is key to holding offenders appropriately accountable. As a means to 

 

23 At the time of publishing this report, a total of 50 initiatives were directed by the Secretary of Defense. 

Thirty-five of the 50 have been completed, 4 are awaiting the Secretary’s review, and 11 are in progress. 

These initiatives also include measures to be implemented by the Military Service Academies. The 

progress that the Military Service Academies have taken to implement the initiatives was discussed in the 

Department of Defense Annual Report on Sexual Harassment and Violence at the Military Service 

Academies, Academic Program Year 2013-2014. 

24 The use of the terms “offenders” or “perpetrators” as used in this report is not intended to make any 

suggestions or conclusions as to whether the commission of a crime occurred.

provide advice and advocacy, as well as empower victims to participate in the 

justice system, in addition to the specialized prosecution capability noted above 

in the Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution Capability, the Military 

Departments established the Special Victims’ Counsel/Victims’ Legal Counsel 

Program, which reached full operating capability in January 2014. These

programs provide victims with military judge advocates who provide independent, 

personalized legal advice and representation to victims of sexual assault, 

protecting their rights and empowering them to successfully navigate the military 

justice system.

 Advocacy/Victim Assistance: Throughout fiscal year 2014, Department efforts 

also focused on the delivery of consistent and effective victim support, response, 

and reporting options. The Department implemented provisions to expand 

victims’ rights by giving them the opportunity to provide input during the post-trial 

action phase. The Department also took steps to enhance screening criteria for 

personnel working with victims and issued guidance regarding document 

retention for 50 years regardless of the type of the report. All of these efforts 

demonstrate the Department’s continued commitment of providing victims with a 

dynamic sexual assault prevention and response system. 

 Assessment: In fiscal year 2014, the Department of Defense took steps to 

effectively standardize, measure, analyze, assess, and report program progress. 

The Defense Manpower Data Center fielded, across all Department components,

the first ever Survivor Experience Survey, which also provided data included in 

the Report to the President. The purposes of the Survivor Experience Survey

were to capture feedback on victim satisfaction with the response system, assess 

the impact of recent initiatives and policies on victims, and meet the Report to the 

President requirement. The feedback from the 2014 Survivor Experience Survey

allows the Department to analyze its program and make more informed decisions 

on future initiatives. 

WAY FORWARD

This report shows that, in fiscal year 2014, the estimated prevalence of sexual assault 

decreased across the Department and that the estimated proportion of victims choosing 

to report the crime has increased to an unprecedented level. Despite these positive 

indicators, the Department of Defense’s commitment to progress is enduring and 

includes ongoing work with the Services to incorporate best practices and reforms that 

improve its ability to address the crime. Every Service member must participate in 

creating a culture where sexist behaviors, sexual harassment, and sexual assault are 

not tolerated, condoned, or ignored. Leaders will be held accountable for establishing 

the appropriate command climate. The Department’s success relies on the full 

participation of every Service member and leader in implementing this culture change.

The Department of Defense continues to implement the Response Systems to Adult 

Sexual Assault Crimes Panel recommendations, Secretary of Defense initiatives, and 

National Defense Authorization Act requirements. Furthermore, the Secretary of 

Defense issued additional initiatives today. The Secretaries of the Military Departments, 

in collaboration with the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and

Readiness, will incorporate insights derived from the 2014 RAND Military Workplace 

Study into prevention training for sexual harassment, sexual assault, and reportingrelated retaliation. Additionally, the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel 

and Readiness will assess clinical interventions that address the specific needs of men 

and women who are seeking treatment for sexual assault. The Acting Under Secretary 

of Defense for Personnel and Readiness will also conduct force-wide sexual assault 

and sexual harassment prevalence surveys biennially for the Military Services and 

National Guard, using the measures created for the 2014 RAND Military Workplace 

Study, consistent with title 10 United States Code section 481. In alternate years, forcewide focus groups will be conducted by the Defense Manpower Data Center to obtain 

feedback from the field. To better respect Service member survey burden and privacy, 

all other entities within the Department of Defense will refrain from conducting forcewide surveys for determining the prevalence of sexual assault and sexual harassment. 

The surveys and focus groups will be developed and conducted in collaboration with the 

Secretaries of the Military Departments, the Chiefs of the Military Services, and the 

National Guard Bureau. Finally, the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel 

and Readiness, in collaboration with the Secretaries of the Military Departments and the 

Department of Defense Inspector General, will establish a comprehensive strategy to 

prevent retaliation against Service members who report or intervene on behalf of the 

victim in instances of sexual assault and other crimes.

INTRODUCTION

REPORT REQUIREMENT

This report is the Department of Defense (DoD) Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report 

on Sexual Assault in the Military.

25 This is the Department’s 11th Annual Report on 

sexual assault covering sexual assault reports made during FY 2014 (October 1, 2013

through September 30, 2014).26 This report also describes many of the Department’s 

sexual assault prevention programs, initiatives, and policy enhancements developed 

and implemented during FY 2014. The report organizes and communicates the 

Department’s progress using the five lines of effort (LOE) from the DoD Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response (SAPR) Strategic Plan, which was revised in FY 2015.

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ON SEXUAL ASSAULT 

PREVENTION AND RESPONSE

On December 20, 2013, President Barack Obama directed the Department to provide a 

comprehensive report detailing major improvements in DoD’s SAPR programs, 

including reforms to the military justice system. 

In December 2014, the Secretary of Defense provided the President with the requested 

report, illustrating the substantial progress made by the Department in the preceding

three years. The full DoD report, Report to the President of the United States on Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response, was also shared with Congress and can be found at 

http://www.sapr.mil/index.php/annual-reports. In addition, each of the Military 

Departments, the National Guard Bureau (NGB), and the United States Coast Guard 

(USCG) provided supplemental reports detailing their respective progress. The DoD

Office of General Counsel (OGC) also provided a synopsis of the recent reforms to the 

military justice system. The executive summary from the President’s report is enclosed 

at Annex 2 of this report. 

The Report to the President also contained:

 Provisional data and analyses of sexual assault reports made in FY 2014;

 Top-line results from the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study (RMWS);

 Results from the new 2014 Survivor Experience Survey (SES) fielded by the 

Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC); and

 Results from the Service member focus group effort also fielded by the DMDC. 

In order to avoid duplication of effort and reporting, this FY 2014 Annual Report on 

Sexual Assault in the Military provides an update on some information first disclosed in 

 

25 The report satisfies the following statutory reporting requirements: section 542 of Carl Levin and 

Howard P. “Buck” McKeon NDAA for FY 2015 (Public Law (P.L.) 113-291); section 575 of NDAA for FY 

2013 (P.L. 112-239); sections 1602 and 1631 of Ike Skelton NDAA for FY11 (P.L. 111-383); section 567 

of NDAA for FY10 (P.L. 111-84); and section 596 of NDAA for FY06 (P.L. 109-163).

the Report to the President. In addition, this report includes an overview of the 

Department’s FY 2014 SAPR programmatic and policy enhancements, a summary of 

completed Secretary of Defense-directed initiatives, and an update on the Department’s 

efforts to comply with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements, and 

final statistical data and analyses of reports of sexual assault involving Service

members and case dispositions from FY 2014.

OVERSIGHT ACTIONS

Eliminating sexual assault in the military is one of DoD’s highest priorities. The 

Secretary of Defense and the Department leadership are committed to continually 

assessing and improving the Department’s SAPR efforts. The DoD SAPR Office 

(SAPRO) is the single oversight body responsible for continuous assessment of the 

Department’s SAPR strategy. SAPRO utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data 

collection and analysis methods, including surveys, focus groups, and sexual assault 

reporting data to evaluate the effectiveness of the Department’s overall SAPR 

programs. The Secretaries of the Military Departments and the NGB also perform 

Service-specific internal assessments. 

To foster program consistency and unity of effort across the Military Services and the 

NGB, the Director of DoD SAPRO continued to host regular SAPR Integrated Product 

Team (IPT) meetings with DoD and Military Service SAPR leadership.27 The SAPR IPT 

provides a forum for the oversight of program execution, policy matters, and sharing of 

important research and best practices. In FY 2014, the SAPR IPT guided the 

development of policies and programs to comply with new legislation and initiatives from 

the Secretary of Defense.

DOD SAPR STRATEGIC PLAN

The DoD SAPR Strategic Plan defines the Department’s SAPR priorities, objectives, 

and initiatives. In FY 2013, DoD SAPRO revised the DoD SAPR Strategic Plan to align 

with and operationalize the key tasks defined in the Joint Chiefs of Staff's (JCS) 

Strategic Direction to the Joint Force.28 The DoD SAPR Strategic Plan presents a

proactive and multidisciplinary approach with initiatives and objectives in five LOEs to 

achieve unity of effort and purpose across the Department in reducing, with a goal of 

eliminating, sexual assault. The LOEs outlined in Figure 3, are:

 Prevention;

 Investigation;

 Accountability;

 Advocacy/Victim Assistance; and

 

27 DoDI 6495.02 requires a minimum of bi-monthly meetings. The SAPR IPT met more frequently than bimonthly during FY 2014.

28 JCS’s Strategic Direction to the Joint Force was issued in May 2012.

 Assessment. 

The DoD SAPR Strategic Plan also contains 89 tasks, organized by LOEs, to be 

completed within four different timelines: Short (0-1 Year), Medium (1-2 Years), Long 

(2-3 Years), and Continual (Ongoing/Cyclical). Of the 89 original tasks, the Department 

completed 24 of 25 short-term tasks, as well as 4 medium-term tasks by the end of FY 

2014. The tasks completed in FY 2014 are presented in this report, and the 

Department continues to work on the completing the in progress tasks. The DoD SAPR 

Strategic Plan was reviewed and updated during the beginning of January 2015. 

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE INITIATIVES 

From FY 2012 to FY 2014, the Secretary of Defense directed 41 initiatives that 

fundamentally reformed how the military prevents, responds to, and adjudicates sexual 

assault. In FY 2014 alone, the Secretary of Defense directed 12 of the 41 initiatives. 

The initiatives have rapidly advanced substantial changes to the Department’s approach 

to prevention and response. The efforts have included promoting a healthy command 

climate, enhancing training across all LOEs, revising SAPR policies and strategy 

regarding victim rights and care, and improving accountability measures for 

investigations and the military justice process. The Department works diligently to 

comply with the directives issued by the Secretary of Defense. By the end of the FY

Figure 3: The Lines of Effort and Objectives of the 2013 DoD SAPR Strategic Plan
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

18

2014, 6 initiatives were in progress. Many of the Secretary of Defense initiatives have 

been codified in NDAAs.

OUTSIDE EVALUATIONS

To further improve the SAPR program, the Department supported the following outside 

evaluations during FY 2014.

The Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel

Section 576 of the NDAA for FY 201329 directed Secretary of Defense to establish the 

Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel (RSP) "to conduct an 

independent review and assessment of the systems used to investigate, prosecute, and 

adjudicate crimes involving adult sexual assault and related offenses under section 920 

of title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.) (Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military 

Justice (UCMJ)), for the purpose of developing recommendations regarding how to 

improve the effectiveness of such systems." The RSP released its report, including 132 

recommendations for DoD, on June 27, 2014. During the latter half of FY 2014 and the 

beginning of FY 2015, the Department evaluated and approved the majority of RSP 

recommendations. In FY 2015, the Department will implement the approved 

recommendations and recommendations approved in part, and continue its assessment 

of the remaining recommendations. The status of the RSP recommendations will be

reported in the FY 2015 Annual Report.

Government Accountability Office

Since 2008, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has published the findings 

and recommendations from engagements evaluating DoD SAPR policies, programs, 

and functions. In September 2014, GAO published its report on actions taken to 

prevent sexual assault during initial military training and made five recommendations to 

the Department.30 To date, DoD has implemented 26 of 32 recommendations from the

engagements and is working to implement the remaining 6. Five of the six come from 

the report on preventing sexual assault during initial military training, and an update on 

meeting two of the five are provided in the Department of the Air Force (AF) Report at 

Enclosure 3. Additionally, at the end of FY 2014, there were two ongoing GAO 

assessments: an assessment of policies and programs pertaining to male victims of 

sexual assault and a review of DoD’s efforts to prevent sexual assault. The GAO 

provided its report on policies and programs pertaining to male victims in March 2015

and its report on DoD’s prevention efforts are due later in FY 2015.

 

29 Section 576 of the NDAA for FY 2013 was amended by the NDAA for FY 2014.

PROGRAM AND POLICY ENHANCEMENTS

In FY 2014, the Department implemented numerous SAPR policy and program 

enhancements to its multi-disciplinary approach to combatting sexual assault. Many of 

these initiatives, program improvements, and policy enhancements were also presented 

in the Report to the President, which provided a detailed 3-year overview of the 

Department’s SAPR efforts. This report highlights the progress made on these 

initiatives during FY 2014 and provides page references to the Report to the President, 

where applicable, for more information. 

LINE OF EFFORT 1: PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES

Sexual assault prevention efforts advance a culture of dignity and respect for all who 

serve. Service members are at the heart of the Department’s efforts; they are

empowered to safely act when they see inappropriate behaviors and situations at risk 

for sexual assault. The desired end state for the Prevention LOE is to reinforce the 

cultural imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional values, and team 

commitment to create an environment where sexist behaviors, sexual harassment, and 

sexual assault are not condoned, tolerated, or ignored. 

The primary outcome measure associated with prevention efforts is a change in the 

past-year prevalence of the crime. Given the wide variety of prevention initiatives 

underway across the Department, it is difficult to identify which are having an impact on 

the occurrence of the crime. In fact, no entity or institution has been able to identify or 

prescribe a scientifically supported course of action that prevents sexual assault. 

Nonetheless, past Department research suggests that sexual assault tends to occur 

less frequently in military units where sexual harassment and other disrespectful 

behaviors are less prevalent.31 Consequently, Department efforts, such as the Advance 

and Sustain Appropriate Culture and Review of Alcohol Policies initiatives, focus on 

enhancing climates of dignity and respect, empowering military members to identify and 

intervene in situations at risk for sexual assault, giving leadership the tools to regularly 

assess unit climate, and holding leadership appropriately accountable for their unit 

climates.

According to the 2014 RMWS, the estimated percentage of surveyed active duty 

women who experienced unwanted sexual contact (USC)32 in the past year declined 

from 6.1% in 2012 to 4.3% in 2014, a statistically significant decrease. For active duty 

men, the prevalence rate of USC trended downwards from 1.2% in 2012 to 0.9% in

 

31 Harned, M.S., Ormerod, A.J., Palmieri, P.A., Collinsworth, L.L. & Reed, M. (2002). “Sexual assault and 

other types of sexual harassment by workplace personnel: a comparison of antecedents and 

consequences,” Journal of Occupational Health Psychology 7(2): 174-88.

assault under Department policy.

2014.33 Based on these prevalence rates, it is estimated that 18,900 Service members 

experienced USC, down from the 26,000 estimated in 2012. Although USC rates in 

2014 are down significantly from those observed in 2006, the rates observed this year 

are about what they were in 2010. To achieve further progress, the Department must 

sustain the downward trend in prevalence rates in subsequent years. As a result, 

continued focus on sexual assault prevention remains a priority. 

According to the 2014 RMWS, an experience of past year sexual assault is highly 

correlated with an experience of past year sexual harassment. Compared to those who 

did not experience sexual harassment, those who did experience such incidents were 

more likely (14 times more likely among female Service members and 49 times more 

likely among male Service members) to experience sexual assault in the past year. 

Furthermore, about a third of Service member victims indicated that the alleged 

perpetrator(s) sexually harassed them before the sexual assault and a third indicated 

that the alleged perpetrator(s) sexually harassed them after the assault. Correlations 

were also found between gender discrimination and sexual assault. Sexual assault and 

sexual harassment are co-occurring problems that require continued DoD attention. An 

overview of these and other RMWS findings can be found in Annex 1 of this report.

Completed Prevention Strategic Plan Tasks

In FY 2014, the Department completed the following prevention tasks presented in the 

DoD SAPR Strategic Plan:

 Updated and published the DoD Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy;

34 and

 Developed a military community of practice (CoP) focused on primary prevention 

of sexual assault.

Secretary of Defense Prevention Initiatives

 

33 The decrease in prevalence for active duty men from 2012 to 2014 was not statistically significant. The 

2014 prevalence rates presented in this section were calculated by RAND Corporation using the “USC” 

measure from prior administrations of the WGRA, in order to provide an accurate comparison with 

previous rates. Additional information on the RAND study can be found in Annex 1.

21

The enhancements made in FY 2014 to meet the requirements of the Secretary of 

Defense prevention initiatives aim to deliver consistent and effective prevention 

methods and programs that reduce, with a goal to eliminate, sexual assault. 

Standardize Protections

In August 2013, the Secretary of Defense ordered a review to ensure current policies

prohibiting inappropriate relations between recruiters and recruits and trainers and 

trainees were consistent across the Military Services. This initiative was codified into 

law in the NDAA for FY 2014.

35

 The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)) reviewed the pertinent policies. The Office of 

the USD(P&R) is drafting policy to address the issues identified.

Advance and Sustain Appropriate Culture

On May 1, 2014, to further enhance prevention programs, the Secretary of Defense

directed the Secretaries of the Military Departments, in conjunction with the Chiefs of 

the Military Services and NGB, to update and integrate gender-responsive and culturally 

competent programs for leaders and Service members to address healthy relationships, 

active bystander intervention, social courage, and core values that support the 

establishment of mutual respect. In addition, the Secretary of Defense directed the 

Chiefs of Military Services to review policies that influence culture and behavior on 

military installations and in units and adjust policy within their purview, as appropriate. 

Throughout FY 2014, the Military Departments and NGB worked to expand and revise

gender-responsive and culturally competent programs aimed to advance and sustain 

appropriate culture. The Military Departments and NGB will brief the Secretary of 

Defense on implementation plans, methods, and recommendations in FY 2015. 

Review Alcohol Policies

In May 2014, the Secretary of Defense directed the Military Departments and NGB to 

review and revise, as necessary, alcohol policies to address risk factors beyond the 

individual use of alcohol. This effort is designed to shape the environment for making

responsible choices, and includes engaging with local community leaders, collaborating 

with off-post businesses to modify alcohol sales practices, and enhancing cooperation

between the installation and the local community. The Military Departments and NGB 

will brief the Secretary of Defense on implementation plans, methods, and 

recommendations in FY 2015.

Develop Collaborative Forum for Sexual Assault Prevention

On May 1, 2014, the Secretary of Defense directed USD(P&R) to establish an 

implementation plan for a CoP to share promising prevention practices and lessons 

learned. In FY 2014, the Department established DoD SAPR Connect, which is the 

Department’s collaboration and information-sharing CoP. DoD SAPR Connect has 

membership from all four Services and the National Guard, including many personnel 

from overseas locations. Additional details on the DoD SAPR Connect CoP can be 

found on pages 45-46 in the Report to the President and in the “FY 2014 Prevention 

Programmatic Highlights” portion below.

Evaluate Commander SAPR Training

On May 1, 2014, the Secretary of Defense directed the USD(P&R) to assess the 

effectiveness of the 2013 core competencies and learning objectives in pre-command 

and senior enlisted leader SAPR training to ensure all leaders are educated on sexual 

assault policies and provided the appropriate prevention tools.

In FY 2014, DoD officials observed a sample of each Service’s pre-command and 

senior enlisted leader SAPR training and found progress in both the quality and the 

quantity of training since 2012. More information on SAPR training enhancements is 

provided on pages 52-53 in the Report to the President. 

FY 2014 Prevention Programmatic Highlights

In addition to the Secretary of Defense initiatives, the Department implemented several 

other efforts in support of the Prevention LOE in FY 2014. This section provides 

highlights of the significant accomplishments. 

Released 2014-2016 DoD Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy

On May 1, 2014, Secretary Hagel announced the 2014-2016 DoD Sexual Assault 

Prevention Strategy, which provides a wide range of integrated programs to enhance

the military environment, influence behavior, and reduce the occurrence of the crime. 

The strategy was informed by the work of civilian experts and is focused on shaping the 

environment where Service members live and work. The Prevention Strategy expands 

on the initial strategy published in 2008 and provides authoritative guidance on 

delivering consistent and effective prevention methods and programs for the Services. 

More detail on the Prevention Strategy can be found on pages 41-44 of the Report to 

the President.

Began Developing Guides to Prevent Sexual Assault in the Military

Recognizing that commanders have the responsibility to execute important components 

of the Prevention Strategy, DoD began developing a series of prevention guides 

targeted at all levels of command. The guides will be released in FY 2015 and FY

2016. 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

23

Developed DoD SAPR Connect CoP

In FY 2014, DoD developed a CoP to allow

the Department to leverage and advance 

research, as well as share promising 

practices and lessons learned with external 

experts, federal partners, Military Services, 

advocacy organizations, and educational 

institutions for the prevention of sexual 

assault. DoD SAPR Connect is the 

Department’s collaboration and informationsharing CoP. Comprised of four pillars (see 

Figure 4), DoD SAPR Connect leverages

face-to-face meetings, virtual resources,

webinars, and a community toolkit. DoD 

SAPR Connect involved participation from

all four Services and the National Guard, 

including many personnel from overseas 

locations. By the end of FY 2014, DoD 

SAPR Connect had 332 members on the 

virtual platform, held its first prevention roundtable36, and had an average of 221

participants in four webinars covering topics such as peer-to-peer mentorship, new 

soldier sponsorship, characteristics of sexual assault offenders, and the DoD Sexual 

Assault Prevention Strategy.

Announced Prevention Innovation Award

In FY 2014, the Department announced the launch of the Sexual Assault Prevention 

Innovation Award to annually recognize groups or individuals (military or civilian) from 

each military component who have contributed or developed an innovative concept, 

methodology, or approach to positively impact sexual assault prevention efforts either 

on an installation, or in a deployed environment. The first awardees will be announced 

in FY 2015. More information on the 2014 Prevention Innovation Award is located on 

pages 54-55 of the Report to the President.

 

36 The objective of the Prevention Roundtable is to establish a forum for communication in which 

participants share information on DoD sexual assault prevention efforts and requirements.

Observed Sexual Assault Awareness Month

In April 2014, the Department observed Sexual 

Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) with the theme 

"Live Our Values: Step Up to Stop Sexual Assault." 

The month offers an opportunity to build on existing 

momentum to fight the crime of sexual assault and to 

promote a culture of dignity and respect within the 

military community.

USD(P&R) encouraged the entire DoD community to 

raise awareness about the problem of sexual assault 

and its impact on mission readiness. Major General

Jeffrey J. Snow, Director, SAPRO, visited troops at 

Fort Belvoir, Virginia, to kick off SAAM and described 

how important social courage and bystander 

intervention are in the Department’s efforts to 

eliminate sexual assault.

SAAM also served as an opportunity to advertise the 

multi-disciplinary approach to prevention and victim advocacy, specifically the initiatives 

implemented by DoD in recent years to assist victims, including the DoD Safe Helpline, 

the Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC)/Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC)37 program, and the 

support offered by the Department’s credentialed Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinators (SARC) and SAPR Victim Advocates (VA), among others. Major General

Snow and Secretary of Defense Hagel also visited the DoD Safe Helpline office to 

commemorate SAAM and the anonymous hotline’s 3

rd Anniversary.

The 2014 Exceptional SARCs were recognized during SAAM for their outstanding 

efforts in assisting victims of sexual assault and for their commitment to preventing this 

crime. The 2014 awardees are:

 Army Master Sergeant Richard V. Fry, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, 

Germany;

 Ms. Shannon M. Moyer, Naval Air Station Lemoore, California;

 Ms. Midge M. Scott, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina;

 Ms. Cindy W. Graver, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia;

 AF Major Katherine Maines, Joint Force Headquarters, Connecticut; and

 Mr. Christopher Hooper, 8th Coast Guard District, Missouri.

Further details on DoD’s SAAM activities are on pages 53-54 of the Report to the 

President.

LINE OF EFFORT 2: INVESTIGATION PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES 

Victim confidence and participation are integral to a thorough investigation. 

Investigative techniques that maximize the recovery of physical and testimonial 

evidence while minimizing the potential for victim re-traumatization benefit the military 

justice process. The purpose of the Investigation LOE is to ensure timely and accurate 

results. 

Completed Investigation Strategic Plan Tasks

In FY 2014, the Department completed the following Investigation LOE tasks presented 

in the DoD SAPR Strategic Plan:

 Established the Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) capability;

38

 Developed procedures to ensure early coordination between Military Criminal 

Investigative Organizations (MCIO) and Judge Advocates (JAs) when initiating 

sexual assault investigations;

 Established a Working Group to review initial baseline, periodic refresher, and 

advanced sexual assault investigation training in order to establish common 

criteria, measures of effectiveness, and leverage training resources and 

expertise;

 Established SVIP case assessment protocol for open and closed sexual assault, 

child abuse, and domestic violence cases;

 Developed policy to ensure sexual assault documentation (DD Form 2911) is 

retained in accordance with NDAA for FY 2013; and

 Reviewed existing procedures to ensure all sexual assault allegations are 

referred to an MCIO.

Secretary of Defense Investigation Initiatives

The objective of the Investigation LOE is achieving high competence in the investigation 

of sexual assault, and the Secretary of Defense initiative help to meet this objective.

 

38 The Special Victim Capability, described in prior Department materials has since been re-named the 

Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) capability so as not to be confused with the Special 

Victims’ Counsel (SVC) program, which provides attorneys to represent the interests of victims of sexual 

assault in the military justice process.

Ensure Investigative Quality

In FY 2013, the DoD Inspector General (IG) completed its first 

evaluation of MCIO sexual assault investigations with adult 

victims to determine whether the MCIOs completed 

investigations as required by DoD, Military Service, and MCIO 

guidance. DoD IG found 89% of MCIO investigations closed 

(completed and adjudicated) in 2010 met investigative standards 

or had only minor deficiencies. DoD IG returned cases with 

significant deficiencies (11%) to the MCIOs for corrective action.

In August 2013, the Secretary of Defense requested DoD IG to 

evaluate the adequacy of closed sexual assault investigations on a recurring basis to 

ensure investigative quality. 

In FY 2014, DoD IG evaluated MCIO adult sexual assault investigations that were 

initiated on or after January 1, 2012 and closed in FY 2013 to determine whether they 

were completed as required by DoD, Military Service, and MCIO guidance; the results 

of this evaluation were published in March 2015.39 

In FY 2016, DoD IG plans to evaluate MCIO adult sexual assault investigations closed 

in 2015. Additionally, in FY 2016, DoD IG will gather data associated with any potential 

impact the SVC40 program has had on investigations. 

FY 2014 Investigation Programmatic Highlights

In addition to the Secretary of Defense initiative, the Department implemented several 

other efforts in support of the Investigation LOE in FY 2014. This section provides 

highlights of the significant accomplishments. 

Provided Report on SVIP Capability

On December 12, 2013, the Department provided a report to the Committees on Armed 

Services of the Senate and House of Representatives on the SVIP capability as 

required by section 573 of the NDAA for FY 2013.

41

 The report described the Military 

Departments’ plans and timelines for establishing SVIP capabilities, along with an 

assessment of those plans and timelines. The SVIP capability became fully operational 

in January 2014. 

The report found that the Department’s collective capability is organized differently in 

each Military Service:

 

39 DoD IG found, in its report published on March 24, 2015, that nearly all adult sexual assault 

investigations were completed as required by guiding policies. Of 536 MCIO investigations, 532 (99%) 

met investigative standards or had only minor investigative and/or administrative deficiencies. 

40 The SVC program is discussed in the Accountability LOE.

27

 The Army assigned 23 Special Victim Prosecutors (SVP) dedicated to the 

handling of sexual assault and family violence cases. Army SVPs work with U.S. 

Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) special agents and Special Victim 

Unit (SVU) investigative teams at over 65 installations worldwide to investigate 

and prosecute special victim offenses. The Army also retained several highly 

qualified experts (HQE) who have served as civilian criminal prosecutors to 

provide training, mentorship, and advice to JAs and CID special agents across 

the globe.

 The Navy has nine regional-based Senior Trial Counsel who collaborate with

Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) special agents to investigate, review,

and prosecute special victim cases. Those nine Senior Trial Counsels are all 

Military Justice Litigation Career Track qualified litigation specialists, and they 

supervise approximately 35 prosecutors worldwide. All nine regional prosecution 

departments have been specially trained and certified to prosecute adult sexual 

assault cases under the Navy's SVIP capability. The Navy also created a Trial 

Counsel Assistance Program (TCAP) with case review and prosecution reachback and support capabilities. TCAP attorneys can also be detailed to prosecute 

complex cases. The Navy also has several civilian and HQE positions, through 

which civilian attorneys with extensive prosecution experience provide assistance 

to trial counsel in complex and sexual assault cases and specialized training.

 The Marine Corps established specially qualified, geographically assigned

Complex Trial Teams comprised of 48 special qualified victim Trial Counsels and

each led by a seasoned Regional Trial Counsel providing special victim 

prosecutorial expertise and support. The Marine Corps also established HQE 

positions, through which civilian attorneys with extensive litigation and courtmartial experience provide assistance to trial counsel in complex and sexual 

assault litigation. Marine Corps JAs also team with NCIS special agents in 

special victim cases. Furthermore, the Marine Corps recently increased the 

opportunity for its JAs to receive graduate-level education in criminal law.

 The AF maintains a team of 16 Senior Trial Counsels (STC), including 10 who 

are members of the AF SVU-STC, working alongside 24 Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations (AFOSI) special agents located at 16 AF installations with 

a high number of reported sexual offenses. The AF has also established a 

reach-back capability situated at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, which is 

comprised of the AFOSI Sexual Assault Investigation and Operations Consultant 

and the Judge Advocate General Corps SVU Chief of Policy and Coordination, 

who provide expert assistance for investigators and JAs in the field.

 Additionally, the Department established criteria for measuring the effectiveness 

and impact of the SVIP capability from investigative, prosecutorial, and victim 

perspectives. The criteria are:

- Percentage of SVIP cases preferred, compared to overall number of 

courts-martial preferred in each FY;
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

28

- Percentage of special victim offense courts-martial tried by, or with the 

direct advice and assistance of, a specially trained prosecutor;

- Compliance with DoD Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP)

reporting requirements to ensure victims are consulted with and regularly 

updated by SVIP legal personnel;

- Percentage of specially trained prosecutors and other legal support 

personnel having received additional and advanced training in SVIP

topical areas; and

- Victim feedback on the effectiveness of SVIP prosecution and legal 

support services and recommendations for possible improvements; 

participation by victims will be voluntary and provide for confidentiality to 

the extent allowed by law, feedback mechanisms will be coordinated and 

standardized within each Military Service so that victims do not have to 

unnecessarily complete multiple questionnaires, and these mechanisms 

will be used to gain a greater understanding of the reasons why a victim 

who filed an Unrestricted Report elected or declined to participate at trial 

and whether SVIP prosecution and legal support services had any positive 

impact on this decision.42

 Each Service provided FY 2014 data for these measures of effectiveness and 

can be found in their annual reports, which are enclosures to this report. 

To foster growth in the SVIP Capability and SVC programs, Congress appropriated 

$25M in FY 2014 for expanding the Department’s competencies in investigation and 

prosecution of allegations of sexual offenses.43 Funding was distributed to the Military 

Services to improve training and resourcing of attorneys serving as SVCs, help increase 

reporting, improve victim assistance, enhance investigative capability, and ultimately 

improve victim confidence in the Department’s comprehensive response system. 

Improved Training in Support of SVIP Capability Implementation

Also in FY 2014, the Department developed and issued investigative and legal policies 

to implement the SVIP capability. DoD IG developed policy and procedures for the 

MCIOs for the implementation of SVIP capability in the Directive-type Memorandum 

(DTM) 14-002 – “The Establishment of Special Victim Capability within the Military 

 

42 Please see page 10 of the Establishment of Special Victim Capabilities within the Military Departments 

to Respond to Allegations of Certain Special Victim Offenses report.

Criminal Investigative Organizations.”

44

 According to DTM 14-002, the selection of 

MCIO investigators for the SVIP capability is contingent on their completion of 

specialized training. At a minimum, DTM 14-002 requires this training to cover the 

following competencies:

 Legal jurisdiction for conducting criminal investigations;

 Elements of proof for SVIP covered offenses;

 Crime scene management;

 Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) collection requirements;

 Identifying, obtaining, preserving, and transporting forensic evidence;

 Rights of crime victims and available victim and witness assistance, support, and 

counseling services available;

 Sensitivities associated with child abuse victims, including but not limited to 

interviewing techniques, Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) kits, risk 

factors, and protective orders; and

 Sensitivities associated with victims of sexual assault, including but not limited to 

interviewing techniques, impact of trauma, SAFE kits and medical treatment, 

counseling, victim support, establishing victim trust and transparency, impact of 

alcohol and drugs, and protective orders.

The Office of Legal Policy developed policy and procedures for SVIP legal personnel in 

DTM 14-003, “DoD Implementation of Special Victim Capability Prosecution and Legal 

Support.”45 DTM 14-003 establishes the standards for the selection, certification, and 

training of SVIP prosecutors and legal support personnel and outlines the training 

program for SVIP prosecutors, which must include:

 The elements of proof for SVIP offenses;

 Effective interviewing techniques and the impact of trauma on memory;

 Legal issues and sensitivities associated with sexual assault victims;

 Legal issues and sensitivities associated with child abuse victims; and

 Legal issues and sensitivities associated with victims of domestic violence; 

The Department’s SVIP capability program is also discussed on pages 66-68 and pages 

81-82 of the Report to the President.

DoD IG Evaluated MCIOs’ Sexual Assault Investigation Policies

In September 2014, DoD IG published findings and recommendations for the MCIOs in 

its report, Evaluation of the Military Criminal Investigative Organizations’ Adult Sexual 

 

44 DTM 14-002 can be found here: http://www.sapr.mil/index.php/dod-policy/dod-and-service-policy. DTM 

14-002 was superseded by DoDI 5505.19, “Establishment of SVIP Capability within the MCIOs,” which 

was published on February 3, 2015.

Assault Investigation Policies.46 DoD IG evaluated the MCIOs’ policies and procedures 

to determine whether they aligned with DoD and Military Service mandates, as well as 

Council for Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) Quality Standards for 

Investigations (QSI) and generally accepted law enforcement adult sexual assault 

investigative techniques. 

DoD IG found that the MCIOs’ adult sexual assault investigation policies and 

procedures support each agency’s need for a thorough sexual assault investigation. 

The MCIOs have incorporated nearly all DoD and Service adult sexual assault 

investigative requirements into their policies. Although not mandated by DoD, the 

MCIOs have also incorporated, directly or indirectly, the pertinent CIGIE QSIs relating to 

conducting criminal investigations, including sexual assault, and those that facilitate a 

thorough and well-written report of investigation. The MCIOs address almost all of the 

pertinent International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) investigative actions in 

their policies.

DoD IG issued four recommendations in its report. It recommended that the MCIOs 

evaluate IACP adult sexual assault investigative techniques identified as not currently 

aligned within MCIO policy for their relevance and applicability and consider 

incorporating them into their adult sexual assault investigation policy guidance. 

Secondly, the report recommended that the Director, NCIS and the Commander, AFOSI

evaluate their procedures addressing actions to be taken relating to victim collateral 

misconduct in a sexual assault investigation. Furthermore, it recommended that the 

Director, NCIS and the Commander, AFOSI evaluate the benefits and efficiencies of 

including DoD and Service sexual assault investigative policy in MCIO policies. Finally, 

DoD IG recommended that the Director, NCIS evaluate the policy verbiage related to 

the discussion of the victim preference statement with the victim, specifically, the 

language used to demonstrate a possible consequence of a victim’s decision not to 

cooperate, to eliminate implied victim blaming.

LINE OF EFFORT 3: ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES 

Achieving high competence in holding alleged offenders appropriately accountable is 

the objective of the Accountability LOE. The program enhancements implemented in 

FY 2014 under the Accountability LOE aim to achieve this objective.

Completed Accountability Strategic Plan Tasks

In FY 2014, the Department completed the following tasks presented in the DoD SAPR 

Strategic Plan:

 Enhanced sexual assault training for attorneys and military judges;

 Conducted assessment of DoD Pilot Program for SVC;

 

46 DODIG-2014-108, “Evaluation of Military Criminal Investigative Organizations’ Adult Sexual Assault 

Investigation Policies,” September 16, 2014. The full report is available here: 

http://www.dodig.mil/pubs/documents/DODIG-2014-108.pdf. 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

31

 Established and supported independent review and assessment panels required 

under the section 576 of the NDAA for FY 2013;

 Expanded the availability, sequencing, and scope of commanders’ legal courses 

across the Services;

 Assessed effectiveness of the policy to elevate initial disposition authority in 

certain sexual assault cases to commanders, in the grade of O-6 or higher, who 

possess Special Court-Martial Convening Authority;

 Updated policies on separation of sexual offenders; and

 Increased SAPR first responder knowledge of Military Rule of Evidence (MRE)

514 (Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege).

Secretary of Defense Accountability Initiatives

The Department strives for a fair and equitable system of accountability that promotes 

justice and assists in maintaining good order and discipline. The Secretary of Defense

Accountability Initiatives uphold and enhance the ways in which the military justice 

system encourages victim participation, while maintaining the rights of the accused.

Assess Military Justice Systems

In May 2013, the Secretary of Defense called upon the RSP47 to accelerate its review 

and provide final recommendations within 12 months of the panel’s first meeting. This 

initiative48 was codified into law with the NDAA for FY 2014.

49

 

In June 2014, RSP delivered its final report to the Secretary and Committees on Armed 

Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, which included 132 

recommendations. After careful consideration, Secretary Hagel approved the majority 

of the recommendations, 88 full recommendations and 10 in part, and disapproved 1 

 

47 Section 576 of the NDAA for FY 2013, as amended by the NDAA for FY 2014, directed the Secretary of 

Defense to establish the RSP "to conduct an independent review and assessment of the systems used to 

investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate crimes involving adult sexual assault and related offenses under 

section 920 of title 10, U.S.C. (Article 120 of the UCMJ), for the purpose of developing recommendations 

regarding how to improve the effectiveness of such systems." 

48 In addition to Accountability, Assess Military Justice System is an initiative that also falls within the 

Investigation and Victim Assistance/Advocacy LOEs.

recommendation.

50

 Of the remaining, 6 were referred to working groups for further 

study, 11 are under review by the Joint Services Committee on Military Justice, and 16 

are under consideration by the Military Justice Review group.

51

 

The USD(P&R) is responsible for overseeing the RSP recommendation implementation 

and is the office of primary responsibility for 59 recommendations. In FY 2014, the 

Department reviewed all 132 recommendations and provided an office of primary 

responsibility and, if necessary, an office of coordinating responsibility for all approved 

recommendations. After an initial review of the recommendations, DoD determined that 

the following 10 recommendations were already implemented: 

 Develop/implement military crime victimization survey;

 Utilize the results from the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active 

Duty Members (WGRA) to assess attitudes, identify areas for improvement, and 

revise workplace policies;

 Analyze raw data collected from surveys using independent research 

professionals to assess how DoD can improve responses to sexual assault;

 Use UCMJ definitions of sexual assault offenses in military crime victimization 

surveys; 

 Refrain from additional formal statements of what accountability, rights, and 

responsibilities a member of the Armed Forces has with regard to matters of 

sexual assault prevention and response;

 Ensure sexual assault reporting options are clarified for all members of the 

military; 

 Clarify that DoD Safe Helpline is the single military 24/7 sexual assault crisis 

hotline for Service members;

 Establish an easily remembered DoD Safe Helpline number similar to website 

name;

 Continue training all levels of law enforcement personnel on potential biases and 

inaccurate perceptions of victim behavior; and

 Maintain the requirement for an investigator to notify the prosecution section of 

the Staff Judge Advocate legal office of an Unrestricted Report as soon as 

practicable, but no later than 24 hours. 

A major area of focus for the RSP was assessing the role of the commander in the 

military justice system. The RSP concluded that military justice system reforms should 

 

50 The recommendation that was disapproved was to develop and implement policy that, when 

information comes to military police about an instance of sexual assault by whatever means, the first step 

in an investigation is to advise the victim that she or he has the right to speak with a special victim 

counsel before determining whether to file a Restricted or Unrestricted Report, or no report at all.

not include removing prosecutorial discretion from military commanders. As the RSP 

found: “The evidence does not support a conclusion that removing convening authority 

from senior commanders will reduce the incidence of sexual assault, increase reporting 

of sexual assaults, or improve the quality of investigations and prosecutions of sexual 

assault cases in the Armed Forces.”52 Additional DoD discussion of the RSP and its 

report can be found on pages 34-35 and pages 88-89 of the Report to the President.

Improve Victims’ Counsel

In May 2013, the Secretary of Defense

directed an evaluation of the AF SVC

pilot program to ensure that victims are 

provided advice and assistance they 

need to understand their rights and to 

feel confident in the military justice 

system. The AF began its SVC pilot 

program in January 2013. SVCs are 

Active Duty JAs whose role is to 

represent victims in an attorney-client 

relationship in the investigation and 

court-martial process. Sexual assault 

victims are assigned an SVC within 48 

hours (when practicable) of the SVC 

Program Office receiving a request.

The Department published its report in FY 2014 and found that the SVC pilot program

was well received by victims who used its services. The report provided the results 

from a victim impact survey that was fielded by the Military Justice Division, AF Legal 

Operations Agency on March 20, 2013. The survey found:

 90% were “extremely satisfied” with the advice and support the SVC provided 

during the Article 32 hearing and court-martial;

 98% would recommend other victims request an SVC;

 91% indicated their SVC advocated effectively on their behalf; and 

 94% indicated their SVC helped them understand the investigation and courtmartial processes. 

Improve Victim Legal Support

Due to the benefits observed in the AF SVC program, the Secretary of Defense directed 

the Secretaries of the Military Departments in August 2013 to establish a special 

victims’ advocacy program to provide legal advice and representation to victims 

throughout the military justice process.

34

Each Service reached full operational capability in January 2014. This Secretary of 

Defense initiative53 was codified in section 1716 of the NDAA for FY 2014. Additional 

details of the SVC program are found on pages 78-81 of the Report to the President.

Enhance Pretrial Investigations

In his August 2013 memorandum, the Secretary of Defense directed the Secretaries of 

the Military Services to implement policy, mandating JAs serve as investigating officers 

for all Article 32 hearings on sexual assault offense charges. Section 1702 of the NDAA 

for FY 2014 contained a provision generally requiring that, starting in late 2014, 

preliminary hearing officers presiding over Article 32 hearings are to be JAs. Unlike that 

provision, the Secretary of Defense’s policy allows for no exceptions to the JA

requirement in sexual assault offense cases. As of December 3, 2013, all the Military 

Departments complied with this requirement. This initiative is also discussed on page

84 of the Report to the President. 

FY 2014 Accountability Programmatic Highlights

In addition to the Secretary of Defense initiatives, the Department implemented several 

other efforts in support of the Accountability LOE in FY 2014. This section provides 

highlights of the significant accomplishments. 

DoD IG Evaluated DoD Compliance with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification 

Act 

On August 29, 2014, DoD IG concluded an evaluation of the Department’s compliance 

with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), established by Title I 

of the “Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006” (P.L. 109-248).54 It also 

evaluated whether the Department effectively accounted for registered sex offenders 

with access to DoD facilities. DoD IG found the Department was compliant with 

SORNA registration requirements. However, DoD IG recommended a number of 

actions to improve reporting, accountability, and monitoring of registered sex offenders 

within the Department. Overall USD (P&R) and the Secretaries of the Military

Departments management comments were responsive and agreed with our 

recommendations.

Updated Policies on Separation of Sexual Offenders

In FY 2014, the Services reviewed and updated their policies, as necessary, to ensure 

that Service members who have been convicted for a sexual assault, but not adjudged 

a punitive discharge, are entered into administrative discharge proceedings by the 

Military Services.

 In November 2013, the Secretary of the Army issued Army Directive 2013-21, 

“Initiating Separation Proceedings and Prohibiting Overseas Assignment for 

Soldiers Convicted of Sex Offenses,” to require the initiation of separation 

proceedings for any Soldier convicted of a sex offense. Decisions to retain 

 

53 This initiative is also a VA/Advocacy LOE effort.

35

enlisted Soldiers convicted of a sex offense are referred for the exercise of 

Secretarial plenary authority under Army Regulation 635-200, “Active Duty 

Enlisted Administrative Separations.”

 The Department of the Navy (DON) has official policies in the Navy and the 

Marine Corps to ensure that Service members who have been convicted for a 

sexual assault, but not adjudged a punitive discharge, are entered into 

administrative discharge proceedings.

- The Navy was already compliant with this requirement. In May 2009, the 

Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) issued Instruction 1752.3, 

“Policy for Sex Offender Tracking, Assignment, and Access Restrictions 

within the Navy,” which provides guidance on separation of sexual assault 

offenders. Additionally, Military Personnel Manual 1900-040, “Transfer to the 

Retired List, Retired Reserve, or the Fleet Reserve in a Restricted Status,”

issued in September 2008, prohibits a convicted sex offender from entering 

any installation, facility, or property under the cognizance of DON.

- In November 2013, DON issued Marine Corps Order 1900.16, “Separation 

and Retirement Manual,” requiring mandatory processing for separation 

following the first substantiated incident, or substantiated attempted incident,

of sexual misconduct. Also, in June 2014, DON issued All Navy 050/14, 

“Implementation of Section 1705 of the NDAA for FY 2014 Related to CourtMartial Jurisdictional Limits and Minimum Sentences for Certain Sex 

Offenses,” which requires mandatory dismissal or dishonorable discharge for 

convictions for certain sex offenses.

 AF was also in compliance with this requirement. Change 7, issued in 2004, to 

AF Instructions 36-3206, “Administrative Discharge Procedures for 

Commissioned Officers,” and 36-3208, “Administrative Discharge of Airmen,”

mandate initiation of discharge proceedings for any member who has committed 

sexual assault. 

Increased SAPR First Responder Knowledge of MRE 514 (Victim Advocate-Victim 

Privilege)

In FY 2014, each of the Services worked to increase first responder knowledge of MRE 

514, Victim-Victim Advocate privilege. Subject to certain exceptions, MRE 514 provides 

a victim with the privilege to refuse to disclose and to prevent any other person from 

disclosing a confidential communication made between the victim and a SARC and 

SAPR VA, in a case arising under the UCMJ, if the communication was made for the 

purpose of facilitating advice or supportive assistance to the victim.55

 The Army SARC and SAPR VA certification training includes significant blocks of 

instruction on MRE 514.

 MRE 514 awareness training is covered in the 40-hour training required for Navy 

SARCs and SAPR VAs to earn initial certification and re-certification.

 

55 MRE 514, (a), “General Rule of Privilege.” 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

36

 A separate MRE 514 brief is included in the mandatory 40-hour SAPR VA 

training for Marine Corps SAPR personnel and is taught by a judge advocate. 

Additional training is provided in all iterations of customized SARC training to 

facilitate practical application of MRE 514.

 All AF SARCs and SAPR VAs attend the SARC Course at Maxwell Air Force 

Base. The course includes a lesson on MRE 514, which encompasses a 

thorough explanation of the victim advocate-victim privilege by a JA.

LINE OF EFFORT 4: ADVOCACY/VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES 

In the Department, sexual assault victims are offered and provided advocacy services, 

medical care, counseling, legal assistance, victim witness assistance, and chaplain 

services. Critical to successful advocacy and victim assistance are trained and 

knowledgeable professionals who are known and available to Service members and 

whose services and programs facilitate victim reporting. 

Completed Advocacy/Victim Assistance Strategic Plan Tasks

In FY 2014, the Department completed the following tasks presented in the DoD SAPR 

Strategic Plan:

 Assessed and improved portability of victim services in deployed environments; 

 Developed policy to ensure victims are provided appropriate rights, protections, 

and services and extend crime victims’ rights to victims of offenses under the 

UCMJ; and

 DoD IG Investigations of allegations of retaliatory personnel actions taken.

Secretary of Defense Advocacy/Victim Assistance Initiatives

The objective for the Advocacy/Victim Assistance LOE is to deliver consistent and 

effective victim support, response, and reporting options. The actions taken to meet the 

requirements of the Secretary of Defense Advocacy/Victim Assistance Initiatives 

enhance the Department’s ability to provide effective victim support. 

Improve Response and Victim Treatment

To improve victim care and trust in the chain of command, increase reporting, and 

reduce the possibility of ostracizing victims, Secretary of Defense directed the

Secretaries of the Military Departments to implement and monitor methods to improve 

victim treatment by peers, co-workers, and chains of command.

Secretary of Defense instructed Military Departments to solicit victim input for the 

development of these methods. The Army utilized discussion groups led by the Vice 

Chief of Staff and gave victims the opportunity to speak at its semi-annual SHARP 

Command Summit. The DON used surveys and in-person meetings with victims to 

solicit input. The AF provided survivors with the opportunity to assist with developing 

training curriculum. 

Ensure Victim’s Rights

In May 2013, the Secretary of Defense directed OGC to develop a method to 

incorporate the rights afforded to victims through the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (18 

U.S.C.) 3771) (CVRA) into military justice practice, to the extent appropriate. Section 

1701 of the NDAA for FY 2014 extended similar rights to those presented in CVRA,

aligning military justice practice with federal civilian CVRA. In FY 2015, the Department 

is slated to forward a recommendation to the President on relevant changes for the 

Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM).

56 Ensuring victim rights is also discussed in the 

Report to the President on page 84.

Expand Victim Rights

In his August 2013 memorandum, the Secretary of Defense directed DoD General 

Counsel to develop a recommendation for an Executive Order to amend the MCM to 

provide victims the opportunity to have input to the post-trial action phase of courtsmartial, in order to ensure that victims have a voice throughout the entire justice 

process. The DoD General Counsel’s recommendation was incorporated into an 

Executive Order published on June 13, 2014.

Enhance Protections

The Secretary of Defense ordered the Secretaries of the Military Departments in FY 

2013 to develop and implement policy allowing the administrative reassignment or 

transfer of a Service member who is accused of committing a sexual offense, providing 

enhanced victim protection and balancing the interests of the victim and the alleged 

offender. In FY 2014, the Military Services reviewed, updated as necessary, and 

briefed their respective policies to conform to the Secretary of Defense’s initiative. 

 The Army was already compliant with this requirement. The Department of the 

Army issued the “Expedited Transfer or Reassignment Procedures for Victims of 

Sexual Assault” directive on October 3, 2011. 

- This directive allows Army commanders to conduct expedited transfer for 

members who are either the victim of a sexual assault or accused of 

committing a sexual assault or related offense, if they deem such action is 

in the best interests of both the victim and the accused. 

 

56 In FY 2015, the Department forwarded a recommendation to the President on relevant changes for the 

MCM.

57 Section 1706 of the NDAA for FY 2014 imposed a similar requirement.

38

 The DON has official policies in the Navy and the Marine Corps regarding the 

administrative reassignment or transfer of both victims of sexual assault and 

those accused of committing sexual assault. 

- The Navy was also in compliance with this requirement. The OPNAV

Instruction 1752.1B, “Navy Sexual Assault Victim Intervention Program,”

issued in 2006, includes guidance in sexual assault cases to relocate the 

victim or alleged offender until the case is legally settled and/or the victim 

is considered out of danger when the victim and alleged offender are 

assigned to the same command. 

- The Marine Admin Message 031/14 “Administrative Reassignment or 

Transfer of Marines Accused of Sexual Assault or Related Offense,”

signed in January 2014, provided implementing guidance to commanders 

on the consideration of, and processes for, transfer of members accused 

of sexual assault or a related offense.

 The Department of the AF issued the AF Guidance Memorandum (AFGM) to AF

Instruction (AFI) 36-2110 “Assignments” on January 1, 2014. This AFGM to AFI 

36-2110 incorporates new guidelines for the reassignment of AF members who 

were sexually assaulted and approved for expedited transfer, as well as for the 

reassignment of AF alleged offenders accused of sexual assault or related 

offense. 

These policies also fulfill the requirements outlined in the NDAA for FY 2014.

58

Sensitive Position Screening

On 23 June 2014, the Secretary of Defense approved four recommendations to 

enhance screening, selection, training, and/or certification/licensure for personnel 

assigned to those sensitive positions in which they directly engage, support, or instruct 

the newest and most vulnerable Service members:

 SARC and SAPR VAs;

 Recruiters;

 Healthcare providers performing SAFE;

 Initial entry/basic training instructors for officers and enlisted Service members;

 MCIO investigators who conduct criminal investigations and support the DoD 

SVIP capability; 

 SVIP capability legal team: prosecutors, paralegals, and VWAP personnel 

selected to support the SVIP capability; and

 SVC.

to the President.

Improve Response for Male Victims

In May 2014, the Secretary of Defense directed the Secretaries of the Military 

Departments, in conjunction with the Chiefs of the Military Services and NGB, to 

implement and monitor methods to improve reporting and enhance efforts to encourage 

male victims to seek assistance. The Military Departments are to solicit male victim 

input in the development of these methods. The Military Departments were directed to 

provide implementation plans and methods in FY 2015. Additional information about 

male victims is provided in Appendix C of this report. 

FY 2014 Advocacy/Victim Assistance Programmatic Highlights

In addition to the Secretary of Defense initiatives, the Department implemented several 

other efforts in support of the Advocacy/Victim Assistance LOE in FY 2014. This

section provides highlights of significant accomplishments. 

Issued Guidance on Retention of DD Form 2910 and DD 2911

Section 1723 of the NDAA for FY 2014 mandated the retention of Department of 

Defense (DD) Form 2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement, and DD Form 2911, 

DoD Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Report for 50 years, in order to maintain an 

additional record of the sexual assault report, regardless of the type of report or whether 

such retention was requested by the victim.

59

 In July 2014, the USD(P&R) issued a 

memorandum to the Services and NGB directing they implement interim policy to 

immediately meet the NDAA requirement as DoD develops a long-term solution. The 

Department will issue a change to DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6495.02, “SAPR Program 

Procedures” to capture this retention requirement.

Sustained the DoD Safe Helpline

The DoD Safe Helpline is a confidential, 

anonymous crisis support service for the DoD 

community affected by sexual assault. Safe 

Helpline provides live, one-on-one expert 

advice, information, and resources for 

survivors of sexual assault. Available 24/7 

globally, users can “click, call or text” for 

anonymous and confidential support. 60 

The number of new visitors to the Safe 

Helpline website in FY 2014 was a 47% 

increase from the number of new visitors in 

FY 2013, and a 330% increase from the 

number of new visitors in FY 2012. This 

increase in visits largely reflects Department 

efforts to publicize the service. This increased 

visibility is essential so that survivors and others in the DoD community can access help 

and get information when and where they need it. Website visitors may directly search 

the Safe Helpline database of SARCs and other first responders in order to find referral 

and contact information. From FY 2013 to FY 2014 the number of searches increased 

by 214%. 

From FY 2013 to FY 2014, the total number of Safe Helpline phone user contacts 

increased by 70%, and the total number of online user contacts increased by 25%. In 

FY 2014, 5,984 phone users and 2,513 online users contacted the Safe Helpline. The 

most frequently discussed topics for both male and female users were reporting options, 

emotional and social consequences of the assault, and mental health services. In FY 

2014, nearly half of users who discussed a sexual assault event also discussed barriers 

to reporting.61 User satisfaction with the Safe Helpline continues to remain high. 

Average feedback ratings are consistently over 4.0 on scale from 1 (strongly disagree) 

to 5 (strongly agree).Additional information illustrating the variety of referrals and the 

importance that SARCs and other military support staff play in providing services to 

Safe Helpline users can be found in Appendix F. 

Certified Additional SARCs and SAPR VAs

The Department fully implemented the DoD Sexual Assault Advocate Certificate 

Program (D-SAACP) in FY 2013. In FY 2014, the program played an important role in

ensuring DoD victim assistance and advocacy professionals provide a consistent, high 

standard of quality care to survivors of sexual assault. D-SAACP provides survivors 

with the assurance that their SARC and SAPR VA have undergone a rigorous review, 

are knowledgeable about resources and services, and are equipped to provide victim 

advocacy within the military structure. Since the program was launched in FY 2012, 

 

60 The DoD Safe Helpline is located here: https://www.safehelpline.org/. 

61 The DoD Safe Helpline is an anonymous and confidential service and does not collect information that 

identifies any of its users.

over 35,000 SARCs and SAPR VAs have been certified through the D-SAACP process. 

In FY 2014 alone, over 13,000 SARCs and SAPR VAs were certified. Additional 

information on the D-SAACP program can be found on pages 106-109 of the Report to 

the President. 

Sustained Survivor Meeting

In place since 2010, the biannual Survivor Meetings provide the SAPRO Director with

the opportunity to speak directly with victims of sexual assault who have reported the 

incident within the previous three years. Direct victim feedback in this venue provides 

insights into the toll this crime takes on its victims and the DoD community. This 

feedback enables SAPRO to see how SAPR policy and Service program execution 

affect the individual. In FY 2014, the Survivor Meetings took place in March and 

September and were attended by a total of 12 survivors (male and female), from each 

Service and NGB. 

Increased Reporting

It is the Department’s goal to not only prevent sexual assault, but also to increase the 

proportion of victims who choose to report. Reporting allows victims to engage 

restorative care and services. In addition, it allows the Department to hold offenders 

appropriately accountable. While the estimated prevalence of the crime is down from 

FY 2012 to FY 2014, the overall reporting of sexual assault in the same period

increased substantially. Reporting increased by 53% from FY 2012 to FY 2013, and 

increased by another 11% from FY 2013 to FY 2014. 

In FY 2014, 5,284 Service member victims made an Unrestricted or Restricted Report. 

Of the 5,284 Service member victims, there were 516 who made a report of sexual 

assault for an incident occurring prior to military service and 4,768 who made a report 

for an incident that occurred during military service. 

The 4,768 Service members who made a sexual assault report in FY 2014 for an 

incident that occurred during military service accounted for approximately 25% of the 

estimated number of Service members who may have experienced unwanted sexual 

contact. Thus, DoD estimates that it received a report from 1 in 4 military victims of 

sexual assault in 2014, up from just 1 in 10 in 2012.

While DoD would like all victims to consider reporting the crime, the Department

respects a victim’s right not to choose to report. Consequently, victims may access the 

DoD Safe Helpline to speak anonymously with specially trained personnel who can 

provide them with crisis intervention, information, and resources 24 hours a day, 365 

days a year. In addition, Restricted Reporting continues as a trusted option for 

confidentially accessing support and services, without having to participate in a criminal 

investigation or the military justice process. Victims who file a Restricted Report also 

have the option to convert to an Unrestricted Report. Over time, the percentage of 

victims who convert their Restricted Reports to Unrestricted Reports has remained 

relatively stable with an average of 15%. However, in FY 2014, the conversion rate 

increased to 20%. Additional information about the reports received this year and 

historical trends are described in the Statistical Data on Sexual Assault (Appendix A)

portion of this report.

Combatting Retaliation

One of the main goals of the 

Advocacy/Victim Assistance LOE is to 

instill confidence in victims to know that 

when they report a sexual assault, there 

is no reason to fear retaliation. While 

retaliation of any kind is prohibited 

within DoD, an appreciable portion of 

Service members in the 2014 RMWS

indicated experiencing social or 

professional retaliation associated with 

their sexual assault report. The 

Department asks about retaliation on 

surveys to better assess victims’ wellbeing and to understand the stressors 

victims experience following a report of 

sexual assault. DoD collects this 

information in order to provide input to 

leadership to help them understand the 

destructive nature of retaliation. This 

information also helps the Department to adjust support programs and tailor services 

and training to match victims’ needs, as well as to raise awareness about this issue with 

commanders. However, recent victims’ survey responses indicate broad perceptions of 

alleged retaliation that may not necessarily align with actionable offenses that meet the 

elements of proof required for a charge of retaliation under military law. DoD fully 

recognizes that sexual assault is a highly underreported crime in the military (and 

society at large) and that the fear of retaliation is a barrier to reporting. While DoD 

seeks to remedy victims’ perceptions of alienation by peers and reprisal by other 

parties, these perceptions are only one piece of a retaliation charge. Other factors, 

such as the intent of the individual suspected of reprisal and the behavior experienced 

by the victim, must be investigated before criminal offenses can be charged. Therefore, 

the Department employs a system that not only allows for handling retaliation 

allegations in the military justice system, but also with administrative actions that can 

address inappropriate behavior that falls short of the criminal elements of proof. 

In FY 2014, each Service implemented new regulations against retaliation and 

ostracism. Retaliation includes taking or threatening to take an adverse personnel 

action or withholding or threatening to withhold a favorable personnel action, with 

respect to a member of the Armed Forces because the member reported a criminal 

offense. Additionally, retaliation may include social ostracism and such acts of 

maltreatment, as designated by the Secretaries of the Military Departments, committed 

by peers of the victim or by other Service members because the member reported a 

criminal offense, made with the intent to deter reporting or otherwise impede the 

administration of justice.

62

 Violation of Service regulations could result in criminal

prosecution under Article 92 of the UCMJ – “Failure to Obey Orders or Regulation”

and/or Article 93 – “Cruelty and Maltreatment.” In addition, Service member victims can 

avail themselves of the following resources to report retaliation or ostracism:

 Report to their commander;

 Request an Expedited Transfer;

 Request a Safety Transfer, if they fear violence;

 Request a Military Protective Order and/or Civilian Protective Order;

 File a Military Equal Opportunity Complaint;

 Report to a SARC at a different installation;

 Report to a commander outside their Chain of Command; and

 Report to the DoD IG Defense Hotline.

Third parties can also file a DoD IG Defense Hotline complaint when they witness 

retaliation.

The Department identified retaliation associated with sexual assault reporting as one of 

its metrics for the Report to the President. This was based on the results from the 2012 

WGRA that indicated victims who reported the crime perceived social and professional 

retaliation associated with their report. In order to gain a better understanding of the 

scope of the problem, the Department assessed retaliation through multiple data 

sources, including:

 Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey

(DEOCS)

 The 2014 RMWS

 The 2014 SES

Command Climate Perspective

The DEOCS included six items to assess command climate perceptions associated with 

reporting of sexual assault and how those who make a report are viewed.63 The items 

used a four-point scale ranging from “Not at all likely” to “Very likely.” Overall, Service 

members who completed the DEOCS in 2014 perceived the potential for retaliation from 

their command and unit members to be unlikely (i.e. they perceived a favorable climate 

associated with reporting sexual assault). However, on average men (3.5 on a 4.0

scale) perceived a slightly more favorable reporting climate, with a lower likelihood of 

retaliation, compared to women (3.4 on a 4.0 scale). Moreover, senior enlisted Service 

members and officers (E7-E9, W1-W5, and O1 and above, respectively; 3.7 on a 4.0

scale) perceived that retaliation was less likely to occur compared to junior enlisted 

 

63 The DEOCS includes an opportunity for members of the Armed Forces to express their opinions 

regarding the manner and extent to which their leaders, including commanders, handle organization, 

equal opportunity, and equal employment opportunity issues within a unit.
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

44

Service members and non-commissioned officers (E1-E3 and E4-E6, respectively; 3.4 

on a 4.0 scale). 

The 2014 RMWS

Of the 4.3% of women who indicated experiencing USC in the past year and who 

reported the matter to a military authority or organization, 62% perceived some form of 

professional or social retaliation, administrative action, and/or punishment associated 

with their report (53% social retaliation, 35% adverse administrative action, 32%

professional retaliation, and 11% punishment for infraction).

 64 However, because the 

data do not provide for the circumstances regarding administrative action or actions, 

which victims perceive as professional retaliation, we are unable to draw any 

conclusions regarding these numbers. Data for men were not reportable due to the 

small number of male respondents in this category.

The 2014 SES

In the SES, a similar pattern was observed, with 59% of respondents perceiving social 

retaliation and 40% of respondents perceiving professional retaliation. 65 The SES 

involves survivors who responded to an invitation to take the survey (a convenience 

sample). Nonetheless, the results on this item were comparable with results obtained 

through the 2014 RMWS, giving a good indication that the respondents to the SES had 

similar experiences with retaliation as those respondents in the more representative 

RMWS. 

Across DoD surveys, most Service members give their senior unit leadership high 

marks in creating a climate that supports sexual assault reporting and does not penalize 

a victim for reporting. However, the 2014 SES indicated that this highly favorable rating 

does not extend all the way down the chain of command. As a result, the Secretary of 

Defense directed in December 2014 that the Services were to create training for 

enlisted members and junior officers serving as first-line supervisors that helps them 

identify and prevent retaliation. 

In order to better assess the experience of retaliation and identify potential points for 

intervention, the Department plans to conduct a systematic review of retaliation 

allegations made to the Service commands and Inspectors General. In addition, the 

Department will revise its survey questions to better align with Department policy and 

law addressing reprisal and ostracism. Also, the Department will follow up on 

installation case management group (CMG) execution of the Secretary’s directive to 

inquire about allegations of retaliation during monthly meetings. These attempts to 

better define the scope of the problem and capture the efforts taken to address this 

 

64 On the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, RAND provided the following as examples of 

professional retaliation: loss of privileges, denied promotion/training, and transferred to less favorable job. 

RAND provided the following as examples of social retaliation: being ignored by coworkers and being

blamed for the situation. Examples of adverse administrative actions on the 2014 RAND Military 

Workplace Study included being placed on medical hold, placed on a legal hold, and transferred to a 

different assignment. Examples of infractions for which victims were cited included underage drinking or 

fraternization.

unacceptable behavior will inform Department-wide efforts to prevent retaliation 

associated with reporting sexual assault.

LINE OF EFFORT 5: ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES 

Assessment is an enduring process of data collection and analysis designed to improve 

program effectiveness and is embedded within the four other LOEs. The 

enhancements implemented in FY 2014 under the Assessment LOE aim to achieve the 

end state of incorporating responsive, meaningful, and accurate systems of 

measurement and evaluation into every aspect of the SAPR program.

Completed Assessment Strategic Plan Tasks

In FY 2014, the Department completed the following tasks presented in the DoD SAPR 

Strategic Plan:

 Implemented a dispositions and case synopsis module into the Defense Sexual 

Assault Incident Database (DSAID);

 Harmonized DoD and Services’ survey methodologies, frequency, and key 

metrics to effectively standardize, measure, analyze, assess, and report program 

progress; and

 Oversaw the implementation of Defense Task Force on Sexual Assault in the 

Military Services recommendations.

Secretary of Defense Assessment Initiatives

Under the Assessment LOE, the Department’s objective is to effectively standardize 

measure, analyze, assess, and report SAPR program successes. The actions taken in 

support of the Secretary of Defense Assessment initiatives help to ensure the overall 

effectiveness of the Department’s SAPR program. 

Elevate Oversight

In August 2013, the Secretary of Defense directed the USD(P&R) to develop policy, 

standardized across the Military Services, which requires status reports of unrestricted 

sexual assault allegations and actions taken to the first General Officer/Flag Officer 

(GO/FO) within the chain of command, without delaying reporting to the relevant MCIO. 

This was also required per the NDAA for FY 2014.

66

 USD(P&R) issued DTM 14-007 

outlining this requirement, titled “Sexual Assault Incident Report Oversight (SAIRO)”

that was published in FY 2014. The status reports must be completed within 8 days of 

an Unrestricted Report via a DD Form 2910 or an initiation of an independent 

investigation of sexual assault by a MCIO. Although a SAIRO Report is not required for 

Restricted Reports, a SARC does inform his/her commander when an incident occurs 

without providing personally identifiable information (PII) of the victim or alleged 

offender.

The SAIRO Report is prepared by the assigned immediate commander with input from 

the SARC and MCIO, and submitted to the required O-6 or GO/FO as outlined in the 

SAIRO DTM. This oversight creates visibility and transparency of the response to 

victims for senior leaders and system accountability. 

The Department continually seeks to improve DoD’s response to victims and the SAIRO 

Report is another pathway to ensuring that victims receive the resources and support 

they deserve. The SAIRO Report assures that victims are offered healthcare, victim 

advocacy, timely investigation, safety assessments, notice of expedited transfers and 

military protective orders, and the legal services of a SVC/VLC. This initial report 

elevates oversight of the immediate response system elements.

Develop Standardized Voluntary Survey for Victims and Survivors

In FY 2014, the Chiefs of the Military Services and NGB were required to develop and 

participate in a standardized victim survey. This tool is to provide victims or survivors 

the opportunity to provide feedback on their experiences with SAPR victim assistance, 

the military health system, the military justice process, and other areas of support.

The 2014 SES provided data included in the Report to the President. The purposes of 

the SES were to:

 Capture critical feedback on victim satisfaction and confidence in the system;

 Assess the impact of recent initiatives and policies on victims; and

 Meet the Report to the President requirement.

A more detailed explanation of the SES can be found in the Report to the President on 

page 125. 

FY 2014 Assessment Programmatic Highlights

In addition to the Secretary of Defense initiatives, the Department implemented several 

other efforts in support of the Assessment LOE in FY 2014. This section provides 

highlights of the significant accomplishments. 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

47

Maintained and Refined DSAID

Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database 

(DSAID) captures case information input by 

the Military Service and NGB SARCs about 

both Restricted and Unrestricted Reports, 

enhances a SARC’s ability to provide 

comprehensive and standardized victim 

case management, enables properly trained 

legal officers to input and validate case 

disposition data, supports Service SAPR 

program management, provides improved oversight of how sexual assault cases are 

managed, and enables the Department to meet Congressional reporting requirements.

67

 

DSAID may only be accessed by D-SAACP certified SARCs, Service legal officers, and 

SAPR Program Managers. In FY 2014, Army SARCs were brought into the system, 

making DSAID the common case management and reporting tool across the 

Department. At the request of the USCG, the Department is now working to integrate 

USCG SARCs into DSAID in FY 2015.

Other enhancements to DSAID since FY 2013 include:

 Expanding expedited transfer functionality to capture more information and allow 

for the tracking of multiple transfers;

 Modifying functionality for SARCs to upload a scanned image of a DD Form 

2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement, for Unrestricted Reports, 

enhancing long-term availability of documentation to assist survivors in obtaining 

a record copy of the form;

 Implementing a reporting functionality for Service SAPR Program Managers to 

generate quarterly and annual Service reports, Military Service Academy (MSA)

reports, and customized data queries; and

 Implementing a web-based, self-guided training solution for SARCs and SAPR 

Program Managers consisting of simulations of DSAID’s capabilities.

Given the great interest in case outcome information, the Department created a 

centralized case disposition module to streamline capturing and reporting case 

outcomes across the Military Services. Implemented by the Department in FY 2014, 

this enhancement enables Service legal officers to validate subject case dispositions 

entered by SARCs, track subject case outcomes, and record subject punishment 

information, as applicable. The Department aggregates and analyzes this data to 

support Department metric and non-metric68 information and inform SAPR policy. For 

 

67 P.L. 110-417, Section 563 (a) and (d).

68 “Non-metrics” are items that address the military justice process. There will be no effort to affect these 

aspects or outcomes, as doing so may constitute illegal command influence on military justice. However, 

given the substantive interest in the military justice system and how it functions, these items will be used 

to describe or illustrate certain aspects of the system.

the first time, DSAID provided the data to produce this Annual Report and will continue 

to do so in the future. 

The Department certified DSAID for compliance with all security requirements and is 

accredited for operation by the Designated Approval Authority (DAA) Representative. 

SAPRO continues to enhance DSAID according to internal and external requirements, 

while collaborating with the system developer and the Military Services throughout the 

full system development lifecycle. Additional details on the Department efforts to 

continually enhance DSAID can be found on pages 123-125 of the Report to the 

President.

Responded to the GAO’s Recommendations in “DoD Needs to Take Further Action to 

Prevent Sexual Assault During Initial Military Training”

In September 2014, the GAO released DoD Needs to Take Further Action to Prevent 

Sexual Assault During Initial Military Training. It concluded that DoD has taken a 

number of actions to prevent, investigate, and respond to sexual assault. However, 

recruits and other junior enlisted Service members appear to be especially vulnerable to 

sexual assault and related misconduct. The AF has been proactive in addressing how 

to improve the climate during basic training to prevent sexual assault since a number of 

allegations became known in 2012. Following these allegations, the AF completed an 

evaluation of the basic military training environment. This commander-directed 

investigation resulted in 46 specific action items for change in the basic military training 

environment. 

According to the GAO, AF officials believe that their actions as a whole have improved 

the climate at basic training. However, GAO added that until the AF identifies a 

timeframe for establishing performance goals and measures to evaluate the 

effectiveness and improvements resulting from its actions taken, it will be unable to 

gauge its progress or take corrective actions when needed to address unforeseen 

problems that may arise or actions that are not working as intended. The AF provided 

an update on its actions to meet the recommendations from the GAO in its annual 

report, located at Enclosure 3 of this report. 

OVERARCHING TENETS

In addition to the five LOEs in the DoD SAPR Strategic Plan, two overarching tenets 

that intersect all LOEs are provided: Communications and Policy. These tenets are 

essential to refining a professional military culture and command climate and set 

conditions required to optimize program implementation.

49

Completed Overarching Tenet Strategic Plan Tasks

The tasks provided for the Communications Tenet are continual efforts that the 

Department sustains each fiscal year.

69

 For the Policy Tenet, DoD completed the 

following tasks in FY 2014:

 Modified policy provisions for command climate assessments;

 Modified policy provisions for dissemination of sexual assault information (e.g., 

hotline phone numbers and internet websites);

 Modified policy provisions for general education campaign for correction of 

military records when victims experience retaliation;

 Modified policy for record of dispositions of Unrestricted Reports;

 Established policy to require GO/FO review of and concurrence with a 

recommendation to involuntarily separate a Service member who made an 

Unrestricted Report of sexual assault if the Service member requests a GO/FO 

review;

 Established policy for the use of DoD funds and facilities for pregnancy 

termination as an option in cases of rape and incest; 

 Established/reinforced policies to ensure recruits convicted of sexual assault 

offenses do not receive accession waivers and to require mandatory processing 

for administrative separation of Service members convicted of committing a 

sexual assault, when their sentence does not include a punitive discharge.

Key Accomplishment: Established/Reinforced Policies Regarding Recruits 

Convicted of Sexual Assault Offenses

In FY 2014, the Services reviewed and established new policies, as necessary, to 

ensure recruits convicted of sexual assault offenses do not receive accession waivers 

and to require mandatory processing for administrative separation of Service members 

convicted of committing a sexual assault.

At DoD level, DoD Directive (DoDD) 6495.01, “Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program;” DoDI 6495.02, “SAPR Program Procedures;” DoDI 1332.14, 

“Enlisted Administrative Separations;” and DoDI 1332.30, “Separation of Regular and 

Reserve Commissioned Officers” provide policy guidance to meet the objective of this

DoDI 6495.02 states:

DoD prohibits granting a waiver for commissioning or enlistment in the Military 

Services when the person has a qualifying conviction (see Glossary) for a crime 

of sexual assault or is required to be registered as a sex offender.

DoDI 1332.14 states:

Prescribe internal procedures to ensure enlisted Service members who are 

convicted of a covered sexual offense and are not punitively discharged are 

processed for administrative separation in accordance with section 572(a)(2) of 

Reference (c), as described in the procedures of this instruction.

DoDI 1332.30 states:

That any commissioned officer convicted of rape or sexual assault as defined in 

subsection (a) or (b) of section 920 of Reference (d), forcible sodomy as defined 

in section 925 of Reference (d), or an attempt to commit one of those offenses, 

and who is not punitively discharged for such a conviction, will be processed for 

administrative separation once the conviction is final, in accordance with section 

572(a)(2) of Reference (c).

Key Accomplishment: Established Policy to Require GO/FO Review of an 

Involuntarily Separation of a Service Member Who Made an Unrestricted 

Report 

In order to enhance victim protections, the Office of USD(P&R) published DoDI 1332.14 

and DoDI 1332.30 in FY 2014, which require a GO/FO review of and concurrence with a 

recommendation to involuntarily separate a Service member who made an Unrestricted 

Report of sexual assault if the Service member requests a GO/FO review.

DoDI 1332.14 states:

An enlisted Service member who made an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault 

and who is recommended for involuntary separation from the Military Services 

within 1 year of final disposition of his or her sexual assault case may request a 

general or flag officer (G/FO) review of the circumstances of and grounds for the 

involuntary separation.

DoDI 1332.30 states:

A commissioned officer who made an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault and 

who is recommended for involuntary separation from military service within 1 

year of final disposition of his or her sexual assault case may request a G/FO 

review of the circumstances of and grounds for the involuntary separation. This 

requirement expands the requirement of section 578 of Reference (c) to ensure

that an involuntary separation is not initiated in retaliation for making an 

Unrestricted Report of sexual assault.

NDAA REQUIREMENT IMPLEMENTATION

The last three NDAAs focused significantly on SAPR issues with 71 sections of law 

containing more than 100 unique requirements, to include 16 congressional reporting 

requirements. The NDAA for FY 2014 includes 33 sections of law, representing more 

than 50 individual provisions pertaining to SAPR. It represents the most sweeping 

reform to the UCMJ since 1968, with 16 military justice provisions. The NDAA for FY 

2014 mandates eight distinct reports to assure congressional oversight. Seven of the 

eight required congressional reports were submitted by the end of FY 2014. The final 

report on the recently commenced Judicial Proceedings Panel (section 1731 of the 

NDAA for FY 2014) is expected to be submitted by the panel in 2017.

Of the 41 Secretary of Defense initiatives since December 2011, 19 are now in law 

following the passage of the FY 2014 and prior NDAAs. The NDAA for FY 2014 alone 

codifies eight Secretary of Defense initiatives. 

Implementation of these provisions is well underway with many provisions fully 

implemented. The initiatives and congressional requirements are also being 

incorporated in the revision of DoDI 6495.02, including Change 2.

71

 The following 

highlights three provisions that the Department implemented from a comprehensive list 

of implemented NDAA for FY 2014 provisions:

 First, each of the Services have implemented regulations addressing retaliation, 

ostracism, and maltreatment of sexual assault victims, making these acts

punishable under Article 92, UCMJ;

72

 Second, the Department has issued policy requiring a SAIRO report be 

completed within 8 days of a sexual assault report. These oversight reports 

allow senior leaders visibility into the steps being taken to offer the victim medical 

and mental healthcare, advocacy, legal services, and to capture the progress of 

the initial investigation;

 Third, the Department also updated its document retention policy for the DD 

Form 2910, wherein victims document their reporting option, and the DD Form 

2911, the SAFE report. This was the third change in document retention 

requirements since 2011, as the NDAAs for FY 2012 and FY 2013 also had their 

 

71 Sec. 1732 (2) of the NDAA for FY 2014 In-progress. IG developing uniform policy regarding case 

determinations.

72 While evidence of these acts may be punishable under military law, the Department recognized that 

there may be instances where the behavior falls short of the evidentiary requirements for military justice 

proceedings but require attention nonetheless. In January 2015, the Secretary of Defense directed DoD 

OGC, DoD IG, and the Secretaries of the Military Departments to conduct a comprehensive review of the 

means available to address both social and professional retaliation, to include appropriate social media 

conduct.

52

own requirements. Both forms are now automatically retained for 50 years, 

allowing victims to access their records for any lawful purpose, including their 

application for disability benefits and other assistance. 

The Department remains committed to the effective and efficient implementation of the 

NDAA requirements.

WAY FORWARD IN FY 2015

This report and the Report to the President document considerable progress in FY 2014

and prior years to address sexual assault in the military. While there are positive 

indications that the many steps taken to prevent and respond to sexual assault are 

having desired effects, more must be done to eliminate the crime. In FY 2015, DoD will 

continue to work together with the Services to incorporate best practices and reforms 

that improve its ability to address this crime. 

IMPLEMENT THE NDAA FOR FY 2015 REQUIREMENTS

The NDAA for FY 2015 included further amendments to the UCMJ, which the 

Department will implement in FY 2015. Examples of these military justice provisions 

include: 

 Section 532 – Modifying when depositions may be ordered;

 Section 533 - Codifying SVC representation for members of the Reserve and 

National Guard who are the victims of sex-related offenses;

 Section 534(b) - Ensuring that victims are consulted concerning their preference 

for prosecution by military or civilian authorities for offenses in the United States 

and that their preference is considered;

 Section 536 – Requiring the modifications of the military rules of evidence to 

produce “general military character” evidence of an accused is not admissible for 

purposes of showing the probability of innocence of the accused for certain 

specified offenses, including sexual assault; and

 Section 537 – Modifying the psychotherapist-patient privilege.

UPDATE DOD POLICY AND STRATEGIC PLAN

Understanding the need for continuous improvement, the Department will release an 

update of DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program 

Procedures,” and has already updated the DoD SAPR Strategic Plan. The updated 

DoDI 6495.02 will reflect requirements from the FY 2014 and prior NDAAs, as well as a 

number of RSP recommendations. The revised DoD SAPR Strategic Plan, released in 

January 2015, contains 50 new tasks based on NDAA for FY 2014 requirements, 

Secretary of Defense initiatives, and input from the SAPR IPT. Going forward, DoD 

SAPRO will continue to track the Department’s progress implementing the Strategic 

Plan tasks.

ADDITIONAL SECRETARY OF DEFENSE INITIATIVES

With the release of the Report to the President, Secretary Hagel issued additional 

initiatives to address some of the challenges identified in the Report that DoD will 

address in FY 2015. These initiatives are:

 Installation Prevention Project: To advance knowledge and understanding of 

successful intervention policies, the Secretaries of the Military Departments, the 

Chiefs of the Military Services and the USD(P&R) will conduct a multi-year 

initiative to customize prevention efforts at select military installations. This effort 

will identify installation and community risk factors for sexual assault and develop 

associated actions leadership can take to mitigate sexual violence. 

 Enhance First Line Supervisor Skills and Knowledge: To further advance a 

climate of dignity and respect, and prevent the potential for retaliation associated 

with reporting, the Chiefs of the Military Services and the NGB will augment all 

supervisor training to address the role of the supervisor in unit sexual assault 

prevention and response programs. This training will apply to all junior officers, 

junior enlisted supervisors, and civilian employees who supervise military 

members. Curriculum will emphasize the importance of engaging with 

subordinates on sexual assault prevention and response, recognizing the signs 

of possible acts of retaliation, and provide the opportunity to practice leadership 

skills to promote a healthy command climate. 

 Engage Command to Prevent Retaliation: To enhance victim safety and 

recovery, the Chiefs of the Military Services and the NGB will develop new 

procedures for installation commanders who serve as the SAPR CMG Chair. 

These procedures will require installation commanders to regularly assess, and 

refer for appropriate corrective action, all reports from a victim, witness, or first 

responder of retaliation, ostracism, maltreatment, or reprisal in conjunction with a 

report of sexual assault.

 Provide Feedback to the Force: To encourage greater victim reporting and 

demonstrate Department and Service progress, the Secretaries of the Military 

Departments will provide the findings in the Report to the President to all Service 

members in an interactive manner. 

OPERATIONALIZE THE PREVENTION STRATEGY

In FY 2015, the Department will continue with the implementation of the 2014-2016 DoD 

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy. Efforts are focused on operationalizing the 

strategy to ensure Service members at every level of the Department have the 

knowledge and tools to prevent this crime. Given the importance of future leaders in 

ensuring an enduring solution, the Department will expand its efforts to target Junior 

Reserve Officer Training Corps and Reserve Officer Training Corps units to prepare 

them to address SAPR issues upon accession or commissioning. DoD SAPRO will 

expand its collaboration with universities and MSAs to share promising prevention 

practices.

ONGOING GAO REPORTS

In October 2013, GAO announced that it will be reviewing DoD’s programs for male 

victims. Recently, the GAO concluded its review and presented six recommendations 

to improve DoD's SAPR services for male Service members. DoD is currently working 

with the GAO to better apply its data in ways that inform decision-makers about the 

needs of male victims, evaluate what men might need that is different from women in 

the form of treatment, enhance provider training, and improve messaging. The 

Department is committed to preventing sexual assault throughout the entire force and 

improving response services to meet the needs of both male and female Service 

members. Appendix C presents GAO's recommendations and discusses the progress 

the Department has already made in addressing the recommendations, as well as the 

Department's plans for future progress in this area.

In July 2014, GAO announced an additional review of DoD’s SAPR program, 

specifically the Department’s efforts to prevent sexual assault in the military. The GAO 

is examining how DoD developed its 2014-2016 Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy 

and how it is being implemented. The GAO’s final report and recommendations for 

DoD’s prevention efforts will be published in FY 2015.

CONCLUSION

The actions taken in FY 2014 reflect DoD’s ongoing commitment to 

preventing this crime, through a carefully constructed system of checks and 

balances that provide professional advocacy, independent investigations 

and legal analysis, command engagement to ensure safety and victim care, 

and cross functional oversight mechanisms, capabilities, and services that 

enable a comprehensive response to a report of sexual assault. 

Despite a great deal of progress, more work needs to be done to combat sexual assault 

in the military. The Department remains focused on leveraging its culture and core 

values to continue a tradition consistent with society’s highest expectations of its 

military’s standards. Every Service member deserves a military where sexist behaviors, 

sexual harassment, and sexual assault are not tolerated, condoned, or ignored. To this 

end, leaders have the tools to assess and promote an appropriate command climate

where sexual assault and other destructive behaviors are prevented, sexual assault 

reporting is encouraged, and victim support is unparalleled. 

DoD continues to implement the RSP recommendations, Secretary of Defense

initiatives, and NDAA requirements. Furthermore, the Secretary of Defense issued 

additional initiatives today. The Secretaries of the Military Departments, in collaboration 

with the Acting USD(P&R), will incorporate insights derived from the 2014 RMWS into 

prevention training for sexual harassment, sexual assault, and reporting-related 

retaliation. Additionally, the Acting USD(P&R) will assess clinical interventions that 

address the specific needs of men and women who are seeking treatment for sexual 

assault. The Acting USD(P&R) will also conduct force-wide sexual assault and sexual 

harassment prevalence surveys biennially for the Military Services and National Guard, 

using the measures created for the 2014 RMWS, consistent with title 10 U.S.C. section 

481. In alternate years, focus groups will be conducted by the DMDC to obtain 

feedback from the field. To better respect Service member survey burden and privacy, 

all other entities within the DoD will refrain from conducting force-wide surveys for 

determining the prevalence of sexual assault and sexual harassment. The surveys and 

focus groups will be developed and conducted in collaboration with the Secretaries of 

the Military Departments, the Chiefs of the Military Services, and NGB. Finally, the 

Acting USD(P&R), in collaboration with the Secretaries of the Military Departments and 

the DoD IG, will establish a comprehensive strategy to prevent retaliation against 

Service members who report or intervene on behalf of the victim in instances of sexual 

assault and other crimes.

STATISTICAL DATA ON SEXUAL ASSAULT

BACKGROUND ON DOD SEXUAL ASSAULT DATA

Fiscal Year 2014 Data

• In the 2014 Report to the President of the United States on Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response (Report to the President), the Department of Defense 

(DoD) provided provisional statistical data on sexual assault for fiscal year 2014 

(FY 2014) due to the early release date of the report. 

• In the current report, DoD provides final statistical data on sexual assault in FY 

2014. Small differences between the provisional statistical data and the final 

data stem from DoD’s comprehensive data validation efforts in the time since the 

Report to the President. 

• This report also includes extensive analyses on the estimated prevalence of 

sexual assault conducted by the RAND Corporation (RAND). These analyses 

add depth to the top-line results provided in the Report to the President. 

WHAT IT CAPTURES

Reports of Sexual Assault

• DoD uses the term “sexual assault” to refer to a range of crimes, including rape, 

sexual assault, nonconsensual sodomy, aggravated sexual contact, abusive 

sexual contact, and attempts to commit these offenses, as defined by the 

Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). When a report is listed under a crime 

category in this section, it means the crime was the most serious of the 

infractions alleged by the victim or investigated by investigators. It does not 

necessarily reflect the final findings of the investigator(s) or the crime(s) 

addressed by court-martial charges or some other form of disciplinary action 

against a subject.

• Pursuant to reporting requirements levied by Congress, DoD sexual assault data 

capture the Unrestricted and Restricted Reports of sexual assault made to DoD

during a FY that involves a military subject and/or a military victim.

• In the context of DoD statistics that follow, an Unrestricted Report of sexual 

assault is an allegation by one victim against one or more suspects (referred to in 

DoD as “subjects of investigation” or “subjects”) that will be referred for 

investigation to a Military Criminal Investigation Organization (MCIO; called CID, 

NCIS, or AFOSI by Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force, respectively). The 

number of Unrestricted Reports is based on data entered into the Defense 

Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID) by Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinators (SARCs). These data are supported by additional information

about the case transferred into DSAID from MCIO information systems.

• Data on Restricted Reports are limited, because these are reports of sexual 

assault made to specified parties within DoD, e.g., SARC, Victim Advocate (VA), 

or healthcare provider, that allow the report to remain confidential, while also 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

2

enabling the victim to seek care and services. Given the victim’s desire for 

confidentiality, these reports are not investigated and victims are not required to 

provide many details about these sexual assaults. As a result, the SARC only 

records limited data about the victim and the offense in DSAID. Subject identities 

are not requested or maintained by DoD for Restricted Reports entered into 

DSAID. 

• DoD’s sexual assault reporting statistics include data about sexual contact 

crimes by adults against adults, as defined in Articles 120 and 125 of the UCMJ

and Article 80 (attempts to commit these offenses). These data do not include 

sexual assaults between spouses or intimate partners that fall under the purview 

of DoD Family Advocacy Program (FAP), nor do these data include sexual 

harassment, which falls under the purview of Military Equal Opportunity (MEO). 

While most victims and subjects in the following data are aged 18 or older, DoD 

statistics also capture some victims and subjects aged 16 and 17 at the time of 

the report. Service members who are approved for early enlistment prior to age 

18 are included in this category. Since the age of consent under the UCMJ is 16 

years, military and civilian victims aged 16 and older are included if they do not 

fall under FAP’s purview. 

• The number of sexual assaults reported to DoD authorities in a given FY does 

not necessarily reflect the number of sexual assaults that occurred in that FY. 

- Civilian research indicates victims only report a small fraction of sexual 

assaults to law enforcement. For example, of the 1.1 million U.S. civilian 

women estimated to have experienced nonconsensual vaginal, oral, or anal 

penetration in 2005, only about 173,800 (16%) said they reported the matter 

to police authorities. For the estimated 301,000 U.S. civilian college-aged 

women who experienced nonconsensual vaginal, oral, or anal penetration, 

only about 34,615 (11.5%) indicated they reported it to the police.1 The 

definition of sexual assault used in this college sample refers to penetrating 

crimes only. Consequently, it captures fewer crimes than DoD’s definition of 

sexual assault, which encompasses both penetrating and contact (nonpenetrating) sexual offenses as well as attempts to commit these offenses. 

- This civilian reporting behavior is mirrored in the U.S. Armed Forces. Over 

the past 8 years, DoD estimates that fewer than 15% of military sexual 

assault victims report the matter to a military authority. However, in FY 2014

DoD estimates that 25% of Service members made a report of sexual assault 

for an incident that occurred during military service.

Subject Dispositions

Once the investigation of an Unrestricted Report is complete, Congress requires the 

Military Services to provide the outcome of the allegations against each subject named 

in an investigation. These are called “subject dispositions.”

• DoD holds Service members who have committed sexual assault appropriately 

accountable based on the available evidence.

- Legal authority for DoD is limited to Service members who are subject to the 

UCMJ and, therefore, its military justice jurisdiction. Except in rare 

circumstances, a civilian is not subject to the UCMJ for the purpose of courtmartial jurisdiction or other military justice discipline. 

 Each year, DoD lacks jurisdiction over several hundred subjects in its 

investigations. These subjects are civilians, foreign nationals, and 

unidentified subjects that are reported to have sexually assaulted Service 

members. 

 Local civilian authorities in the United States and our host nations 

overseas hold primary responsibility for prosecuting non-Service 

members, U.S. civilians and foreign nationals, respectively, for allegedly 

perpetrating sexual assault against Service members.

 In a number of cases each year, a civilian authority or host nation will 

assert its legal authority over a Service member. This typically occurs 

when Service members are accused of sexually assaulting a civilian or 

foreign national, or when a Service member sexually assaults another 

Service member in a location where the state holds primary jurisdiction. 

 A civilian authority, such as a state, county, or municipality, may prosecute 

Service members anytime they commit an offense within its jurisdiction. In 

some cases, the civilian authority may agree to let the military exercise its 

UCMJ jurisdiction over its members. Service member prosecutions by 

civilian authorities are made on a case-by-case and jurisdiction-byjurisdiction basis. 

 A host nation’s ability to prosecute a Service member is subject to the 

Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between the United States and a 

particular foreign government. SOFAs vary from country to country. 

 Upon completion of a criminal investigation, the MCIO agent conducting 

the investigation provides a report documenting its evidentiary findings to 

the subject’s military commander and the servicing staff judge advocate

(SJA) for review and legal action, as appropriate. However, for crimes of 

rape, sexual assault, nonconsensual sodomy, and attempts to commit 

these crimes, a senior military officer who is at least a special court-martial 

convening authority and in the grade of O-6 (Colonel or Navy Captain) or 

higher retains initial disposition authority. 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

4

- The special court-martial convening authority is responsible for determining 

what initial disposition action is appropriate, to include whether further action 

is warranted and, if so, whether the matter should be resolved by courtmartial, nonjudicial punishment (NJP), administrative discharge, or other

adverse administrative action. The special court-martial convening authority’s 

initial disposition decision is based upon his or her review of the matters 

transmitted, any independent review, and consultation with a judge advocate. 

Subordinate unit commanders may provide their own recommendations 

regarding initial disposition to the convening authority.

 Commanders at all levels of responsibility do not make disposition 

decisions in isolation. Military attorneys assist commanders in identifying 

the charges that can be made, the appropriate means of addressing such 

charges, and the punishments that can be administered if supported by 

the evidence.

 There are many cases each year when disciplinary action is not possible 

due to legal issues or evidentiary problems with a case. For instance, 

when the investigation fails to show sufficient evidence of an offense to 

prosecute or when the victim declines to participate in the justice process, 

a commander may be precluded from taking disciplinary action against a 

subject.

 In the data that follow, when more than one disposition action is involved 

(e.g., when NJP is followed by an administrative discharge), the subject 

disposition is only reported once per subject. Dispositions are reported for

the most serious action taken. These actions, in descending order, are

preferral of court-martial charges, NJP, administrative discharge, and 

other adverse administrative action.

Who It Describes 

• Unrestricted and Restricted Reports capture sexual assaults involving Service 

members. However, there are instances in which people outside of the U.S. 

Armed Forces commit sexual assault against a Service member or in which 

people outside of the Armed Forces are sexually assaulted by a Service 

member. Information describing these victims and subjects is also included in 

the following statistics.

• Prior to FY 2014, an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault included one or more 

victims, one or more subjects, and one or more crimes. With the introduction of 

DSAID2, DoD has greater visibility over victim reporting. Therefore, starting in 

the current FY, one Unrestricted Report includes only one victim, but could 

still include multiple subjects.

 

2 Additional information on DSAID’s data collection and reporting process is described below in the “How 

It Is Gathered” section (p. 6).
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

• Restricted Reports, by policy, have always involved one victim per reported 

incident. 

- No personally identifying information (PII) is entered into DSAID or 

maintained for subjects in Restricted Reports. 

- Subsequent to a change in DoD policy in 2012, military dependents (aged 18 

and over) may make Restricted Reports of sexual assault. By law, the official 

statistics provided to Congress are limited to those reports of sexual assault 

that involve Service members as either a victim or a subject. Consequently, 

Restricted Reports by adult military dependents alleged to involve a Service 

member (other than spouse or intimate partner) as the offender are now 

included in DoD’s annual statistics. Restricted Reports by adult military 

dependents that did not involve a Service member are recorded, but not 

included in statistical analyses or reporting demographics.

• Available demographic information on victims and subjects in Unrestricted 

Reports is only drawn from completed investigations, and from victim information

in Restricted Reports, as recorded in DSAID. 

When It Happened 

• Information about the sexual assault reports made in FY 2014 is drawn from 

reports received by DoD between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2014. 

However, additional time trend data are included for prior years. The quantity 

and types of information captured by DoD has grown over the years.

• The data that follow are a “snapshot in time.” In other words, the following 

information describes the status of sexual assault reports, investigations, and 

subject dispositions on September 30, 2014 (the last day of FY 2014). 

- Many investigations extend across FYs. For example, it often takes several 

months to investigate a report of sexual assault. As a result, those 

investigations that were opened toward the end of the FY typically carry over 

into the next FY.

- Subject dispositions can also extend across FYs. As a result, many 

dispositions were “pending” or were not yet reported at the end of the year. 

DoD tracks these pending dispositions and requires the Military Services to 

report on them in subsequent years’ reports.

- Under DoD’s sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR) policy, there is 

no time limit as to when a sexual assault victim can report a sexual assault to 

a SARC or an MCIO. Thus, in any given year, DoD may not only receive 

reports about incidents that occurred during the current year, but also 

incidents that occurred in previous years. 

• Reports submitted for sexual assaults that occurred prior to a Service member’s 

enlistment or commissioning are also received by DoD. When a report of this 

nature occurs, DoD provides care and services to the victim, but may not be able 

to punish the offender if he or she is not subject to military law. DoD authorities

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

may assist the victim in contacting the appropriate civilian or foreign law 

enforcement agency.

• The definition of “sexual assault” in the UCMJ has changed several times over 

the last several years: 

- For incidents that occurred prior to the changes made to the UCMJ on 

October 1, 2007, the term “sexual assault” referred to the crimes of rape, 

nonconsensual sodomy, indecent assault, and attempts to commit these acts.

- For incidents that occurred between October 1, 2007 and June 27, 2012, the 

term “sexual assault” referred to the crimes of rape, aggravated sexual 

assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, wrongful sexual 

contact, nonconsensual sodomy, and attempts to commit these acts.

- For incidents that occur on or after June 28, 2012, the term “sexual assault” 

refers to the crimes of rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, 

abusive sexual contact, nonconsensual sodomy, and attempts to commit 

these crimes. 

How It Is Gathered 

Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database

• In years prior to FY 2014, DoD’s sexual assault data were drawn from incident 

information collected by SARCs and official investigations conducted by MCIO

agents. DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) 

aggregated data provided by the Services in order to perform subsequent DoDlevel analyses.

• As of FY 2014, DSAID collects and reports information for DoD and the Services. 

For each report of sexual assault, SARCs are now required to use DSAID to 

enter information about the victim and incident. Additionally, DSAID interfaces 

with MCIO information systems, which contribute additional information about 

subjects and offense specific information into DSAID. MCIO information systems 

are the system of record for all Unrestricted Reports they investigate. Serviceappointed officials enter and validate subject case disposition information into 

DSAID. 

• The transition to DSAID alters the way in which sexual assault data are reported 

in two key ways:

- Unrestricted Reports were previously recorded as the number of sexual 

assault cases, as organized by the MCIOs. Thus, one case did not 

necessarily correspond to one victim report. Starting in FY 2014, DSAID 

accounts for each individual report of sexual assault, such that each report 

corresponds to one victim. As mentioned previously, Restricted Reports, by 

policy, have always involved one victim per reported incident. 

- In past FYs, subjects’ and victims’ Service affiliations referred to the Service 

to which they belonged. With the introduction of DSAID in FY 2014, subjects’ 

and victims’ Service affiliation refers to the Service affiliation of the SARC

7

handling the case. This shift provides valuable insight into the resources 

each Service expends to respond to reports of sexual assault. However, as 

in past FYs, when discussing subject dispositions, affiliation is based on 

subjects’ Service. 

• Since DSAID is a real-time data-gathering tool, all data for a case may not be 

immediately available. As a result, some demographic information presented 

below is incomplete and categorized as “relevant data not available.”

• As in prior FYs, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness 

submitted data calls to the Military Departments to collect the required statistical 

and case synopsis data. DoD SAPRO aggregates and analyzes these data.

RAND Military Workplace Survey 

• Prior to 2014, DoD assessed the estimated prevalence of “unwanted sexual 

contact” (USC) through the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active 

Duty Members (WGRA) and Reserve Component Members (WGRR), 

administered by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).3

• In 2014, DoD agreed to a request from the leadership of the Senate Armed 

Services Committee to arrange for an independent assessment of sexual assault 

prevalence in DoD. In accordance with this request, RAND was awarded a 

contract to administer the RAND Military Workplace Study (RMWS), which will 

serve as the 2014 WGRA. 

• RAND created and administered two versions of the survey. One version of the 

survey employed DMDC’s prior measure of USC to estimate the past-year 

prevalence of sexual assault in DoD, allowing for trend analysis with previous 

years’ data (WGRA form). The other survey version (RMWS form) employed a 

newly developed measure of sexual assault that was designed to match offense 

language and definitions in the UCMJ.4

• The current report also includes additional analyses conducted by RAND after 

the release on the Report to the President. 

• See Annex 1 for a full description of the survey methods and results.

 

3 USC is the WGRA term that describes the crimes in the UCMJ that constitute sexual assault. USC 

involves intentional sexual contact that was against a person’s will or occurred when the person did not or 

could not consent.

4 As with all victim surveys, RAND classifies service members as experiencing sexual assault based on 

their memories of the event. It is likely that a full review of evidence would reveal that some respondents 

whom RAND classifies as not having experienced a crime or violation based on their survey responses 

actually did have one of these experiences. Similarly, some whom RAND classifies as having 

experienced a crime or violation may have experienced an event that would not meet the minimum DoD 

criteria. A principal focus of RAND's survey development was to minimize both of these types of errors, 

but they cannot be completely eliminated in a self-report survey.

Survivor Experience Survey 

• The Survivor Experience Survey (SES)5 was developed at the direction of the 

Secretary of Defense. The goal of the 2014 SES was to learn about the overall 

reporting experiences from all current uniformed military members, aged 18 

years or older, who made a Restricted or Unrestricted Report for any form of 

sexual assault at least 30 days prior to survey completion. The survey items 

were constructed to be Service-specific to match the experience of survivors. 

• The SES is a voluntary, anonymous, web-based survey. SARCs invited 

survivors that met eligibility requirements to take the survey. If survivors chose to 

participate, they answered questions about their sexual assault reporting 

experiences and satisfaction with sexual assault prevention and response 

services. 

Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey 

In FYs 2012 and 2013, DoD SAPRO worked with the Defense Equal Opportunity 

Management Institute (DEOMI) and Service representatives to develop questions to 

help unit commanders assess SAPR climate. A new version of the DEOMI 

Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) went into the field as the old survey was 

phased out in January of FY 2014. Due to this gradual rollout method, sample sizes in 

January were too small to pass the reportable threshold. Therefore, figures for FY 2014

span from February to September 2014. 

Table 1: Sample Sizes for DEOCS Respondents

Junior Enlisted 112,232

A total of 596,593 respondents completed the SAPR questions on the DEOCS from the 

beginning of data collection (February 2014) to the end of the period analyzed 

(September 2014). 

Why It Is Collected 

• Congress requires data about the number of sexual assault reports and the 

outcome of the allegations made against each subject. 

• DoD also collects these data to inform SAPR policy, program development, and 

oversight.

OVERVIEW OF REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT MADE IN FY 2014

This section closely follows the flow chart shown in Figure 1. Points on the flow chart 

are labeled with a letter that corresponds to the information in the text that follows. 

Notes: 

1. For incidents that occur on or after June 28, 2012, the term “sexual assault” refers to the crimes of 

rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, nonconsensual sodomy, 

and attempts to commit these crimes.

2. The number of investigations initiated in FY 2014 is lower than the number of victim reports referred 

for investigation because there can be multiple victims in a single investigation, some investigations 

referred in FY 2014 did not begin until FY 2015, and some allegations could not be investigated by 

DoD or civilian law enforcement.

In FY 2014, the Military Services received a total of 6,131 reports of sexual assault 

involving Service members as either victims or subjects 

(Figure 1, Point A, and Figure 2), which represents an 

11% increase from the reports made in FY 2013. 

Female victims made the majority of reports (79% 

women; 20% men; 1% data not available). Although 

many of these reports may be about incidents that 

occurred in FY 2014, some incidents may have 

occurred in prior years. Of the 6,131 reports, 516 (or approximately 8%) were made for 

incidents that occurred before the victim entered into military service. 

• The Military Services received 4,660 Unrestricted Reports involving Service 

members as either victims or subjects (Figure 1, Point B and Figure 2), a 10% 

increase from FY 2013. Of the 4,660 Unrestricted Reports, 135 (3%) were made 

for incidents that occurred before the victim entered military service.

• The Military Services initially received 1,840 Restricted Reports involving Service 

members as either victims or subjects, a 23% increase from FY 2013. Three 

hundred sixty-nine (369; 20%) of the initial Restricted Reports later converted to 

Unrestricted Reports. These 369 converted Restricted Reports are now counted 

with the Unrestricted Reports. 

There were 1,471 reports 

remaining Restricted at the 

end of FY 2014 (Figure 1, 

Point C and Figure 2). Of the 

1,471 reports remaining 

Restricted, 381 (26%) were 

made for incidents that 

occurred before the victim 

entered military service. Per the victim’s request, the reports remaining 

Restricted were confidential and were not investigated. The identities of the 

subjects are not recorded in DSAID with Restricted Reports.

As stated previously, the accounting method for Unrestricted Reporting changed for the 

first time this year with the advent of DSAID. Therefore, each Unrestricted Report 

corresponds to one victim. DoD has always reported the number of victims in 

Unrestricted Reports, but until the introduction of DSAID, DoD had no way of 

independently collecting this information without the MCIOs’ assistance. Currently, 

DSAID provides DoD with data directly entered by the SARC. Figure 2 presents the

revised number of Unrestricted Reports from FY 2007 to FY 2014. Figure 3 compares 

the past method of capturing Unrestricted Reports (case-driven accounting) to the

DSAID method (victim-driven accounting).

Of the 6,131 reports received by DoD, with each report representing one victim, there 

were 5,284 Service member victims of sexual assault. In FY 2014, 3,851 Service 

members made an Unrestricted Report. Of those 3,851 Service members, 324 initially 

made a Restricted Report in FY 2014, but later converted to an Unrestricted Report. 

One thousand four hundred thirty-three (1,433) Service members made and maintained 

Restricted Reports. Research shows that reporting the crime makes it more likely for

victims to engage medical treatment and other forms of assistance.6 DoD’s SAPR 

policy encourages increased reporting of sexual assault, works to improve response 

capabilities for victims, and works with and encourages victims to willingly participate in 

the military justice process.

In FY 2014, there were 4,768 Service Member victims who made an Unrestricted or 

Restricted Report of sexual assault for an incident that occurred during military Service, 

a 16% increase from FY 2013.7 Based on estimated past-year prevalence rates of USC

and other factors, DoD attributes this increase to more victims coming forward to report 

a crime, and not due to an overall increase in crime.8 In fact, FY 2014 results of the 

RMWS show that estimated past-year prevalence of sexual assault decreased for 

women and stayed about the same for men, compared to FY 2012 rates. Figure 4

demonstrates the increase in the number of Service member victims making reports of 

sexual assault from Calendar Year (CY) 2004 to FY 2014. The reports were for 

incidents occurring while in military service.

7 Although 5,284 Service member victims made sexual assault reports in FY 2014, 516 of them made a 

report for events that occurred prior to their entry into military service. This leaves 4,768 Service member 

victims who made a report for an incident that occurred during military service.

8 Since FY 2007, there has been an overall upward trend in reporting behavior.

Figure 5 demonstrates the difference between the estimated numbers of Service 

members who indicate experiencing USC9, based on the WGRA form administered by 

RAND. The “gap” in reporting narrowed this year, given the increase in reports of 

sexual assault. DoD assesses the increase in reports as unlikely to have resulted from 

increased crime, given historical and current prevalence rates and other factors. 

Although male Service members account for the majority of the survey-estimated 

victims of USC (10,400 men and 8,500 women in FY 2014), it is estimated that a 

greater proportion of female victims report their assault. Specifically, about 43% (3,686) 

 

9 USC is the WGRA term that describes the crimes in the UCMJ that constitute sexual assault. USC 

involves intentional sexual contact that was against a person’s will or occurred when the person did not or 

could not consent. 

Notes:

1. This graph depicts the estimated number of Service members who experienced USC in the past year (based on 

the past-year prevalence rates from the WGRA form administered by RAND), versus the number of Service 

member victims in actual reports of sexual assault made to DoD in the years indicated. Note that although 5,284

Service member victims made sexual assault reports in FY 2014, 516 of them made a report for events that 

occurred prior to their entry into military service. This leaves 4,768 Service member victims who made a report for 

an incident that occurred during military service.

2. The 4,768 Service member victims in Unrestricted and Restricted Reports of sexual assault to DoD authorities in 

FY 2014 accounted for approximately 25% of the estimated number of Service members who may have 

experienced USC (~18,900) that year, as calculated using data from the WGRA form, administered by RAND for 

the first time.

of survey-estimated female victims made a report of sexual assault in FY 2014 for an 

incident occurring during military service, while only about 10% (1,082 reports) of 

survey-estimated male victims did so. 

DoD expects that the “gap” between the survey-estimated number of Service members 

experiencing USC and the number of Service members accounted for in actual sexual 

assault reports can be reduced in two ways:

• Over time, prevention initiatives are expected to reduce past-year prevalence 

rates of USC, as measured by the prevalence surveys like the RMWS or WGRA. 

As rates decrease, the estimated number of Service members who experience 

USC in a given year should also decrease.

• Over time, initiatives that encourage victims to report and improvements to DoD

response systems are expected to increase the number of Service members who 

choose to make an Unrestricted or Restricted Report. 

Although reports to DoD authorities are unlikely to account for all USC estimated to 

occur in a given year, it is DoD’s intent to narrow the “gap” between prevalence and 

reporting in order to reduce the underreporting of sexual assault in the military 

community. Figure 6 shows the rates of victim reporting by Military Service during the 

past eight FYs. Victim reporting rates are calculated using the number of Service 

member victims in Unrestricted and Restricted Reports and active duty Military Service 

end-strength for each year on record with DMDC.

FY 2014 UNRESTRICTED REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

Data from Unrestricted Reports are collected 

and reported to DoD by SARCs and MCIOs. In 

FY 2014, there were 4,660 Unrestricted Reports 

of sexual assault involving Service members as 

either the subject or victim of a sexual assault 

(Figure 1, Point B); 3,851 of the 4,660

Unrestricted Reports involved Service members 

as victims. Each year, the majority of sexual 

assault reports received by MCIOs involved the victimization of Service members by 

other Service members. In FY 2014, 2,528 of the 4,660 Unrestricted Reports (63%) 

involved allegations in which both the victim and subject were Service members. 

Figure 7 illustrates how Service members were involved in Unrestricted Reports of 

sexual assault made in FY 2014. Figure 8 illustrates how Service members have been 

involved in Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault over the past eight reporting periods.

Why show a reporting rate?

A reporting rate allows for the 

comparison of reports across groups of 

different sizes. Reporting rates also 

allow for year after year comparisons, 

even when the total number of people in 

a group has changed.

Note: In FY 2014, there were 4,660 total Unrestricted Reports. However, 636 have been excluded 

from this chart due to missing data on subject and/or victim type.

Crimes Alleged in Unrestricted Reports 

DoD’s SAPR program uses the term “sexual assault” to refer to the range of crimes in 

military law that constitute contact sexual offenses between adults. Since 2004, there 

have been three versions of Article 120, UCMJ, which defines some of those crimes. 

Table 2 depicts how the UCMJ’s characterization of “sexual assault” has been revised 

over time.10

Of the 4,660 Unrestricted Reports made to DoD in FY 

2014, the majority of offenses alleged were in three 

categories: rape; aggravated sexual assault/sexual 

assault; and abusive sexual contact. MCIOs categorize 

Unrestricted Reports by the most serious offense alleged

in the report, which may not ultimately be the same 

offense for which evidence supports a misconduct charge, 

if any. Figure 9 shows the proportions of offenses as 

originally alleged in Unrestricted Reports in FY 2014. 

 

10 Since June 28, 2012, misconduct addressed by the offense “Aggravated Sexual Assault” is captured by 

the offense “Sexual Assault.” Likewise, misconduct previously addressed by “Wrongful Sexual Contact” 

is now captured by the offense “Abusive Sexual Contact.”

Investigations of Unrestricted Reports 

According to DoD policy, all Unrestricted Reports must be referred for investigation by 

an MCIO. However, reports received for incidents prior to military service usually 

cannot be investigated by MCIOs when the alleged offender is not subject to military 

law. In FY 2014, MCIOs initiated 3,934 sexual assault investigations (Figure 1, Point 

D). The length of an investigation depends on a number of factors that include: 

• Offense alleged

• Location and availability of the victim, subject, and witnesses

• Amount and kind of physical evidence gathered during the investigation

• Length of time required for crime laboratory analysis of evidence

Depending on these and other factors, investigation length may range from a few 

months to over a year. For example, the average length of a sexual assault 

investigation in FY 2014 was 4.7 months. Consequently, sexual assault investigations 

and their outcomes can span multiple reporting periods. Of the 3,850 sexual assault 

investigations completed during FY 2014 (Figure 1, Point F), 2,259 were opened in FY 

2014 and 1,591 were opened before FY 2014. 

• The outcomes of 1,866 ongoing sexual assault investigations that were not 

completed by September 30, 2014 will be documented in future reports (Figure 1, 

Point E). 

MCIOs reported that 58 of the 4,313 subjects in investigations completed in FY 2014

had a previous investigation for a sexual assault allegation. 

Sexual Assault Subject Dispositions in FY 2014

Congress requires DoD to report on the dispositions (outcomes) of the sexual assault 

allegations made against Service members. At the end of FY 2014, there were 3,648

subjects with disposition information to report (Figure 1, Point J). 

The goals of a criminal investigation are to identify which crimes have been committed, 

who may have been victimized, and who may be responsible for the crime. DoD seeks 

to hold those Service members who have committed sexual assault appropriately 

accountable based on the available evidence. However, in order to comply with 

Congressional reporting requirements, DoD’s sexual assault data represent a 12-month 

snapshot in time. Consequently, at the end of FY 2014, 1,997 subject dispositions were 

still in progress and will be reported in forthcoming years’ reports (Figure 1, Point I). 

The 3,648 subjects from DoD investigations for whom dispositions were reported in FY 

2014 included Service members, U.S. civilians, foreign nationals, and subjects that 

could not be identified (Figure 1 and Figure 10, Point J). 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

20

Note: 528 cases were unfounded by legal review after a criminal investigation. Of the 528 reports 

unfounded by legal review, 54% were determined to be baseless, 30% constituted a non-sexual assault 

offense based upon evidence developed by the investigation, 11% were allegations misinterpreted by a 

third party, and 3% were determined to be false allegations. Percentages listed do not sum to 100% 

due to rounding.

Figure 10: FY 2014 Subjects Outside DoD Legal Authority

A key difference between the civilian and 

military legal systems is that in the civilian 

system, a prosecuting attorney may review 

the evidence and, if appropriate, file charges 

against all identified suspects within the 

attorney’s area of legal authority. In the 

military justice system, convening 

authorities with advice from judge 

advocates determine the initial 

disposition of cases. Each year, DoD lacks jurisdiction over several hundred subjects 

in its sexual assault reports/investigations. In FY 2014, DoD did not take action against 

1,023 subjects because: 

Can DoD take action against everyone it 

investigates?

No. In FY 2014, DoD could not take action 

against 1,023 subjects because they were 

outside DoD’s legal authority, a 

civilian/foreign authority exercised 

jurisdiction over a Service member subject, 

or the allegations of sexual assault against 

them were unfounded.
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

• Allegations of sexual assault against them were unfounded11, or

• Subjects were outside of DoD’s legal authority (for example, they could not be 

identified, they were civilian or foreign nationals or they had died or deserted), or 

• Subjects were Service members being prosecuted by a civilian/foreign authority

When at the end of a criminal investigation a legal review of the available evidence 

indicates the individual accused of sexual assault did not commit the offense, the 

offense did not occur, or the offense was improperly reported as a sexual assault, the 

allegations against the subject are considered unfounded. As a result, no action is 

taken against the alleged subject. 

• Allegations against 528 subjects were deemed unfounded (false or baseless12) by 

a legal review after criminal investigation in FY 2014 (Figure 10, Point K). 

DoD’s legal authority extends only to those persons subject to the UCMJ. As a result, 

431 subjects of DoD investigations fell outside its authority for disciplinary action:

• Two hundred fifty-two (252) subjects remained unidentified despite a criminal 

investigation (Figure 10, Point L).

• DoD could not take action against 167 civilians or foreign nationals because they 

were not subject to military law (Figure 10, Point M).

• Twelve subjects died or deserted before disciplinary action could be taken 

against them (Figure 10, Point N).13

Although a Service member is always under the legal authority of DoD, sometimes a 

civilian authority or foreign government will exercise its legal authority over a Service 

member who is suspected of committing a crime within its jurisdiction. In FY 2014, a 

civilian or foreign authority addressed the alleged misconduct of 64 Service member 

subjects (Figure 10, Point O). 

 

11 See p. 34 for an explanation of unfounded cases. 12 A legal review determines that a report is “false” when, after investigation, evidence suggests that the 

accused did not commit the crime or no crime was committed. A legal review determines that a report is 

“baseless” when the crime alleged does not meet the legal definitions of one of the sexual assault crimes 

under the UCMJ. In some cases, subjects of baseless reports are investigated and prosecuted for other 

crimes (e.g., maltreatment of a subordinate, assault), even though action on sexual assault allegation was 

not possible. The outcomes for these subjects are not reported here because their alleged crimes do not 

fall under DoD’s SAPR program reporting requirements. Of the 528 reports unfounded by legal review, 

54% were determined to be baseless, 30% constituted a non-sexual assault offense based upon 

evidence developed by the investigation, 11% were allegations misinterpreted by a third party, and 3% 

were determined to be false allegations. Percentages listed do not sum to 100% due to rounding. 13 Nine subjects died and three subjects deserted before disciplinary action could be implemented. 

Eleven of the twelve subjects were Service members.

Military Subjects Considered for Disciplinary Action 

In FY 2014, 2,625 subjects 

investigated for sexual assault 

were Service members under

DoD authority (Figure 11, Point P, 

and Table 4). However, legal 

factors sometimes prevent 

disciplinary action from being 

taken against some subjects. For example, commanders were unable to take 

disciplinary action against 580 of these military subjects because there was insufficient 

evidence of an offense, the victim declined to participate in the military justice process, 

or the statute of limitations had expired (Figure 11, Point T and Table 4).

Commanders declined to take action against 48 military subjects. After a review of the 

facts of the case with a military attorney, commanders determined the allegations 

against those subjects were false or baseless (unfounded; Figure 11, Point U and Table 

4). Since FY 2009, the percentage of Service member subjects for whom command 

action was precluded or declined has decreased. Figure 12 illustrates that DoD 

authorities were able to hold a larger percentage of Service member subjects 

appropriately accountable in FY 2014 than in FY 2009. 

For 1,997 subjects, commanders had sufficient evidence and the legal authority to 

support some form of disciplinary action for a sexual assault offense or other 

misconduct (Figure 11, Point Q and Table 4). When a subject receives more than one 

disposition, only the most serious disciplinary action is reported (in descending order: 

preferral of court-martial charges, NJP, administrative discharge, and other adverse 

administrative action).

The following represents the command actions taken for the 1,550 subjects for whom it 

was determined a sexual assault offense warranted discipline (Figure 11, Point R and 

Table 4): 

• 64% (998 subjects) had court-martial charges preferred (initiated) against them. 

• 21% (318 subjects) were entered into proceedings for NJP under Article 15 of the 

UCMJ.

• 15% (234 subjects) received a discharge or another adverse administrative 

action.

For 447 subjects, evidence supported command action for other misconduct discovered 

during the sexual assault investigation (such as making a false official statement, 

adultery, underage drinking, or other crimes under the UCMJ), but not a sexual assault 

charge (Figure 11, Point S and Table 4). Of the 447 subjects for whom probable cause 

existed for a non-sexual assault offense (Figure 11, Point S and Table 4): 

• 11% (49 subjects) had court-martial charges preferred against them. 

• 59% (263 subjects) were entered into proceedings for NJP. 

• 30% (135 subjects) received some form of adverse administrative action or 

discharge. 

Military Justice

The following information describes what happens once a military subject’s commander 

finds that there is sufficient evidence to take disciplinary action. Figure 13 shows that, 

from FY 2007 to FY 2014, commanders’ preferral of court-martial charges against 

military subjects for sexual assault offenses increased from 30% of subjects in FY 2007

to 64% of subjects in FY 2014. During the same period, NJP, other adverse 

administrative actions, and administrative discharges decreased substantially. Each 

action taken is based on the evidence identified during a thorough investigation. In 

addition, since June 2012, initial disposition decisions for the most serious sexual 

assault crimes have been withheld at the O-6 level (Colonel or Navy Captain). This 

allows senior, seasoned officers that are not immediately responsible for supervision of 

the victim(s) or subject(s) to review these cases.

Notes: Percentages are of subjects found to warrant disciplinary action for a sexual assault offense 

only. Other misconduct (false official statement, adultery, etc.) is not shown. Percentages listed for 

some years exceed 100% due to rounding.

Court-Martial for a Sexual Assault Offense

As noted previously, of the 1,550 military subjects against whom disciplinary action was

initiated for a sexual assault offense, 998 had court-martial charges preferred against 

them (Figure 11, Point R and

Table 4). Figure 14 illustrates 

what happened to these 

subjects after their 

commanders preferred courtmartial charges. The 

dispositions and the sentences 

imposed by courts-martial are 

for those subjects with at least 

one sexual assault charge adjudicated in FY 2014. Of the 998 subjects who had courtmartial charges preferred against them for at least one sexual assault charge in FY 

2014, 861 subjects’ court-martial outcomes were completed by the end of the FY:

• Court-martial charges against 176 subjects were dismissed. However, 

commanders used evidence gathered during the sexual assault investigations to 

take NJP against 46 of the 176 subjects (NJP was initiated but dismissed for six

of these subjects, leaving 40 subjects with a NJP administered). The punishment 

may have been for any kind of misconduct for which there was evidence. The 40

subjects who received NJP were adjudged five categories of punishment: 

reductions in rank, fines or forfeitures of pay, restriction, extra duty, and 

reprimand.

• Ninety-seven subjects were granted a resignation or discharge instead of courtmartial.

• Of the 588 subjects whose cases proceeded to trial: 434 subjects (74%) were 

convicted of at least one charge at court-martial. Most convicted Service 

members received at least four kinds of punishment: confinement, reduction in 

rank, fines or forfeitures, and a discharge (enlisted) or dismissal (officers) from 

service. 

• One hundred fifty-four subjects (154; 26%) were acquitted of all charges. 

What percentage of Service member subjects charged and 

tried for sexual assault offenses were convicted in FY 2014 

and what kind of punishment did they receive?

74% of Service members tried for a sexual assault offense 

were convicted of at least one charge at trial.

The majority of convicted subjects received the following 

punishments: Confinement, a Fine or Forfeiture of Pay, 

Reduction in Rank, and a Punitive Discharge or Dismissal.
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

27

Resignations and discharges in lieu of court-martial are granted by DoD in certain 

circumstances and only occur after court-martial charges are preferred against the 

accused. For such an action to occur, the accused must initiate the process. 

Resignation or discharge in lieu of court-martial requests include a statement of 

understanding of the offense(s) charged and the consequences of administrative 

separation, an acknowledgement that any separation could possibly have a negative 

characterization, and an acknowledgement that the accused is guilty of an offense for 

which a punitive discharge is authorized or a summary of the evidence supporting the 

guilt of the accused. These statements are not admissible in court-martial should the 

request ultimately be disapproved. Discharges of enlisted personnel in lieu of courtmartial are usually approved at the Special Court-Martial Convening Authority level. 

Resignations of officers in lieu of court-martial are approved by the Secretary of the 

Military Department

In FY 2014, 78 of 92 enlisted members who received a discharge in lieu of court-marital 

were separated Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC), the lowest 

characterization of discharge possible administratively (the characterization of the 

discharge for the other 14 subjects was not available). The UOTHC discharge 

characterization is recorded on the Service member’s DD Form 214, Record of Military 

Service, and significantly limits separation and post-service benefits from DoD and the 

Department of Veterans Affairs. Military Service policies, codified in the FY 2013

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), direct that those Service members who are 

convicted of a sexual assault, but who do not receive a punitive discharge at courtmartial, should be processed for administrative discharge. This year, the Services 

documented that 52 convicted subjects that did not receive a punitive discharge or 

dismissal will be processed for administrative separation from Military Service.

Nonjudicial Punishment

NJP is administered in accordance with Article 15 of the UCMJ. Commanding officers 

may impose penalties on Service members when there is sufficient evidence of a minor 

offense under the UCMJ. NJP allows commanders to address some types of sexual 

assault and other misconduct by Service members that may not warrant prosecution in 

a military or civilian court. With NJP a commander can take a variety of corrective 

actions, including demotions, fines/forfeitures, and restrictions on liberty. NJP may 

support a rationale for discharging military subjects with a less than an honorable 

discharge. The Service member may demand trial by court-martial instead of accepting 

NJP by the commander. 

Of the 1,550 military subjects who received 

disciplinary action on a sexual assault 

offense, 318 received NJP (Figure 11, Point 

R and Table 4). Figure 15 displays the 

outcomes of NJP actions taken against 

subjects on a sexual assault charge in FY 

2014. Of the 299 subjects whose NJPs 

were completed in FY 2014, 91% of 

subjects were found guilty by the 

commander under authority of Article 15, UCMJ. Nearly all of the administered NJPs 

were for a contact (non-penetrating) sexual offense. The majority of subjects given a 

NJP received the following punishments: reduction in rank, a fine or forfeiture of pay, 

and extra duty. Available Military Service data indicated that for 66 subjects (24% of 

those administered NJP) the NJP served as grounds for a subsequent administrative 

discharge. Characterizations of these discharges were as follows: 

3. Of the 998 subjects who had court-martial charges preferred against them, 137 subjects were still 

pending court action at the end of FY 2014. 

4. Of the 861 subjects whose courts-martial were completed and reported in FY 2014, 588 subjects 

proceeded to trial, 97 subjects were granted a discharge or resignation in lieu of court-martial, and 

176 subjects had court-martial charges dismissed.

5. In cases in which a discharge or resignation in lieu of court-martial is requested and approved, the 

characterization of the discharge is UOTHC, unless a higher characterization is justified (see also the 

discussion of administrative discharge characterizations in the “Administrative Discharges and 

Adverse Administrative Actions” section of the report). Of the 176 subjects with dismissed charges, 

commanders imposed NJP on 40 subjects (an additional 6 subjects had a NJP initiated, but 

dismissed). Most of these 40 subjects received two kinds of punishment: a reduction in rank and a 

fine or forfeiture of pay.

6. Of the 588 subjects whose cases proceeded to trial, 434 (74%) were convicted of at least one charge. 

Conviction by court-martial may result in a combination of punishments. Consequently, convicted

Service members could be adjudged one or more of the punishments listed. However, in most cases, 

they received at least four kinds of punishment: confinement, a reduction in rank, a fine or forfeiture of 

pay, and a punitive discharge (bad conduct discharge, dishonorable discharge, or dismissal (officers). 

The NDAA for FY 2013 now requires mandatory administrative separation processing for all Service 

members convicted of a sexual assault offense.

Administrative Discharges and Adverse Administrative Actions

A legal review of evidence sometimes indicates that the court-martial process or NJPs 

are not appropriate means to address allegations of misconduct against the accused. 

However, military commanders have other means at their disposal to hold offenders 

appropriately accountable. Administrative discharges may be used to address an 

individual’s misconduct, lack of discipline, or poor suitability for continued service. 

Notes:

1. Punishments do not sum to 100% because subjects can receive multiple punishments.

2. The Military Services reported that 318 subjects of sexual assault investigations disposed in FY 

2014 were considered for NJP. 

3. Of the 318 subjects considered for NJP, 19 subjects were still pending action at the end of FY 2014.

4. Of the 299 subjects whose NJPs were completed in FY 2014, 271 subjects (91%) were found guilty 

by the commander. The remaining 28 subjects (9%) were found not guilty.

5. NJP may result in a combination of penalties. Consequently, Service members found guilty can be 

administered one or more kinds of punishments. However, for most of the cases, convicted Service 

members received at least three kinds of punishment: a reduction in rank, fines/forfeitures, and 

extra duty.

6. For 66 subjects (24% of those punished), the NJP contributed to the rationale supporting an 

administrative discharge.

31

There are three characterizations of administrative discharges: Honorable, General, and

UOTHC. General and UOTHC discharges may limit those discharged from receiving 

full entitlements and benefits from both DoD and the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

Commanders processed 111 subjects in sexual assault investigations for administrative 

discharge in FY 2014 (Figure 11, Point R and Table 4). Seventeen members are 

pending characterizations. Characterizations of the completed discharges were as 

follows: 

Honorable Discharge 3 Subjects

General Discharge 32 Subjects

Under Other than Honorable 51 Subjects

Uncharacterized 8 Subjects

Total 94 Subjects

In FY 2014, commanders took adverse administrative actions against 123 subjects 

investigated for a sexual assault offense (Figure 11, Point R and Table 4). Adverse 

administrative actions are typically used when available evidence does not support a 

more severe disciplinary action. Adverse administrative actions can have a serious 

impact on one’s military career, have no equivalent form of punishment in the civilian 

sector, and may consist of Letters of Reprimand, Letters of Admonishment, and Letters 

of Counseling. These actions may also include but are not limited to denial of reenlistment, the cancellation of a promotion, and the cancellation of new or special duty 

orders. Cadets and midshipmen are subject to an administrative disciplinary system at 

Military Service Academies. These systems address misconduct that can ultimately be 

grounds for disenrollment from the Academy and, when appropriate, a requirement to 

reimburse the government for the cost of education. 

Probable Cause Only for a Non-Sexual Assault Offense 

The sexual assault investigations conducted by MCIOs sometimes do not find sufficient 

evidence to support disciplinary action against the subject on a sexual assault charge, 

but may uncover other forms of chargeable misconduct. When this occurs, DoD seeks 

to hold those Service members who have committed other misconduct appropriately 

accountable based on the available evidence. In FY 2014, commanders took action 

against 447 subjects who were originally investigated for sexual assault allegations, but

for whom evidence only supported action on non-sexual assault misconduct, such as 

making a false official statement, adultery, assault, or other crimes (Figure 9; Figure 16, 

Point S; and Table 4).

Notes:

1. Some percentages do not sum to 100% due to rounding. Punishments do not sum to 100%, because 

subjects can received multiple punishments.

2. The Military Services reported that investigations of 447 subjects only revealed evidence of 

misconduct not considered a sexual assault offense under the UCMJ.

3. Of the 447 subjects, 49 subjects had court-martial charges preferred against them, 263 subjects were 

entered into NJP proceedings, 30 subjects received a discharge or separation, and 105 subjects 

received adverse administrative action.

4. Of the 49 subjects with court-martial charges preferred, 28 subject cases proceeded to court-martial 

and 25 subjects were convicted of the charges against them. Most convicted Service members were 

adjudged a reduction in rank and a fine or forfeiture of pay. 

5. Of the 263 subjects considered for NJP, 14 cases were still pending completion and 238 were 

ultimately found guilty. The majority of subjects found guilty received the following punishments: a 

reduction in rank and fines/forfeitures.

Subjects Outside DoD Legal Authority

As previously discussed, each year DoD does not have jurisdiction over several 

hundred subjects in its sexual assault investigations. From FY 2009 to FY 2014, the 

percentage of subjects investigated by DoD for sexual assault found to be outside 

DoD’s legal authority or under the authority of another jurisdiction varied between 12% 

and 21%, as depicted in Figure 17. 

When the subject of an investigation is a U.S. civilian, a foreign national, or an 

unidentified subject, they fall outside DoD’s legal authority to take any action. Civilian 

authorities in the United States and the governments of our host nations have primary 

responsibility for prosecuting U.S. civilians and foreign nationals, respectively, who are 

accused of perpetrating sexual assault against Service members. 

In a small percentage of cases each year, a state or host nation will assert its legal 

authority over a Service member to address alleged misconduct. This typically occurs 

when a Service member is accused of sexually assaulting a civilian or foreign national 

at a location where the civilian or foreign authorities possess jurisdiction. While Service 

members are always under DoD legal authority, a civilian or foreign authority may 

choose to exercise its authority over a Service member anytime he or she is suspected 

of committing an offense within its jurisdiction. Sometimes civilian and foreign 

authorities agree to let DoD prosecute the Service member. However, such decisions 

are made on a case-by-case and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. A host nation’s ability 

Notes:

1. In FY 2014, 495 (14%) of the 3,648 subjects in completed dispositions were outside DoD legal 

authority or were Service member subjects prosecuted by a civilian or foreign authority.

the foreign government. SOFAs vary from country to country.14 

Unfounded Allegations of Sexual Assault 

The goals of a criminal investigation are to determine who has been victimized, what 

offenses have been committed, and who may be held appropriately accountable. When 

the allegations in an Unrestricted Report are investigated, one possible outcome is that 

the evidence discovered by the investigation demonstrates that the accused person did 

not commit the offense. Another possible outcome is that evidence shows that a crime 

did not occur. When either of these situations occurs, the allegations are determined to 

be unfounded, meaning false or baseless (Figure 10, Point K, and Figure 11, Point U). 

Allegations may be unfounded either by the legal review at the end of a criminal 

investigation or by the disposition authority and legal officers when determining whether 

disciplinary action is warranted. Figure 18 shows that although there has been some 

variation in who has determined whether allegations were unfounded, the overall 

percentage of subjects with unfounded allegations has remained about the same since 

FY 2009.

 

14 See p. 3 for a description of SOFAs.

Notes:

1. In FY 2014, 576 (16%) of the 3,648 subjects in reported dispositions had unfounded allegations.

2. In FY 2014, 528 (14%) of the 3,648 subjects in reported dispositions had allegations unfounded by 

legal review after a criminal investigation. Of the 528 reports unfounded by legal review, 54% were 

determined to be baseless, 30% constituted a non-sexual assault offense based upon evidence

developed by the investigation, 11% were allegations misinterpreted by a third party, and 3% were 

determined to be false allegations. Percentages listed do not sum to 100% due to rounding.

Demographics of Victims and Subjects in Completed Investigations 

The following demographic information was gathered from the 3,850 investigations of 

sexual assault completed in FY 2014. These investigations involved 4,241 victims and 

4,313 subjects. 

Table 5 illustrates that the vast majority of victims in investigations tend to be female, 

under the age of 25, and of junior enlisted grades. Table 6 shows that the vast majority 

of subjects of investigations tend to be male, under the age of 35, and of junior enlisted 

grades.

FY 2014 REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT IN COMBAT AREAS OF INTEREST 

Arduous conditions in combat areas of interest (CAI) make sexual assault response and 

data collection very difficult. However, SARCs, SAPR VAs, and other SAPR personnel 

are assigned to all of these areas. SAPR personnel are diligent in getting requested 

services and treatment to victims. The data reported below are included in the total 

number of Unrestricted and Restricted Reports described in previous sections. 

In FY 2014, there were 163 reports of sexual assault in CAIs. This number reflects a 

49% decrease in overall reporting in CAIs from FY 2013. This is mostly likely a 

reflection of the decreased number of Service members deployed to these countries in 

FY 2014. Figure 19 illustrates the history of Unrestricted and Restricted Reporting in 

CAIs since FY 2008. As stated earlier, starting in FY 2014, DSAID accounts for each 

individual report of sexual assault, such that each report corresponds to one victim. In

Figure 19, the number of Unrestricted Reports, for all FYs, corresponds to the number 

of victims. Figure 20 compares the number of Unrestricted Reports using the casedriven accounting method and the victim-driven accounting method.

The 117 Unrestricted Reports in FY 2014 represent a decrease of 56% from the 268

Unrestricted Reports in FY 2013. Of the 117 Unrestricted Reports, 7 (6%) were made 

in Iraq and 62 (53%) were made in Afghanistan. The remaining Unrestricted Reports 

were made in Kuwait (14 reports), Bahrain (11), Qatar (10), United Arab Emirates (6), 

Djibouti (3), Oman (3), and Jordan (1). Figure 21 shows Unrestricted reporting patterns

in three CAIs. In previous FYs, Iraq and Afghanistan comprised the highest number of 

Unrestricted Reports. In FY 2014, Kuwait has surpassed Iraq in the number of 

Unrestricted Reports. 

There were 50 initial Restricted Reports in CAIs, a decrease from the initial 58

Restricted Reports in FY 2013. Four Restricted Reports converted to an Unrestricted 

Report during the FY, leaving 46 reports remaining Restricted in FY 2014. 

Of the 46 Restricted Reports remaining, 9 were made in Iraq and 15 were made in 

Afghanistan. The remaining Restricted Reports were made in Qatar (6 reports), 

Bahrain (4), Djibouti (4), Kuwait (4), United Arab Emirates (2), Jordan (1), and Oman

(1). Figure 22 shows Restricted reporting patterns in the three countries (i.e. 

Afghanistan, Iraq, and Qatar) with the highest number of Restricted Reports in FY 2014. 

Note: Pre-FY 2014 numbers in this chart use the case-driven method of accounting because victim 

numbers were not previously available for each CAI.

Figure 22: Restricted Reports in Combat Areas of Interest, FY 2007 – FY 2014

Sexual Assaults Perpetrated by Foreign Nationals against Service Members 

The Military Services reported that 16 foreign national subjects, in investigations 

completed in FY 2014, were suspected to have committed sexual assaults against 

Service members. 

Demographics of Unrestricted Reports in CAIs 

Demographic information about the Unrestricted Reports made in CAIs was drawn from 

the investigations closed during FY 2014. These 90 investigations involved 94 victims 

and 110 subjects. 

Victims in Completed Investigations

The demographics of victims in CAIs who made Unrestricted Reports mirror the 

demographics of victims in all Unrestricted Reports made to DoD, in that they are 

mostly female (77%), of a junior enlisted grade (61%). However, victims in CAIs who 

made Unrestricted Reports tended to be slightly older (85% were under the age of 35) 

than victims making Unrestricted Reports in general.

Subjects in Completed Investigations

The demographics of subjects in Unrestricted Reports made in CAIs are similar to the 

demographics of subjects in all Unrestricted Reports made to DoD, in that a great share 

are male (72%), under the age of 35 (48%), and in an enlisted grade (43%).

Demographics of Restricted Reports in CAIs 

The 46 victims with Reports remaining Restricted in CAIs mirror the demographics of 

victims in all Restricted Reports made to DoD, in that they were mostly female Service 

members (85%). However, victims making Restricted Reports in CAIs tended to be a 

little older (72% were under the age of 35) and of higher rank (46% were E1 to E4; 41% 

were E5 to E9) than victims making Restricted Reports in general.

FY 2014 RESTRICTED REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

Because Restricted Reports are confidential, 

protected communications as defined in DoD 

policy, SAPR personnel only collect limited 

data about the victim and the allegation being 

made. As with Unrestricted Reports, 

Restricted Reports can be made for incidents 

that occurred in prior reporting periods and 

incidents that occurred prior to military service.

In FY 2014, there were 1,840 initial Restricted Reports of sexual assault. Of the 1,840 

reports, 369 (20%) converted to Unrestricted Reports. At the close of FY 2014, 1,471

reports remained Restricted (Figure 23).15

This year, 381 Service Members made a Restricted Report for an incident that occurred 

prior to entering military service, representing approximately 6% of the 6,131 reports of 

sexual assault. Of these 381 Service members: 

• 242 indicated that the incident occurred prior to age 18

• 120 indicated that the incident occurred after age 18

• 19 declined to specify

Over time, the percentage of victims who convert their Restricted Reports to 

Unrestricted Reports has remained relatively stable with an average of 15%. However, 

in FY 2014, the conversion rate increased to 20%. Figure 23 shows the Restricted 

Reports and conversion rates for the past eight FYs. 

 

15 The 369 Restricted Reports that converted to Unrestricted Reports are included in the total 4,660 

Unrestricted Reports cited above.

How many Restricted Reports convert to 

Unrestricted Reports each year?

On average, about 15% of victims convert 

their Restricted Reports to Unrestricted 

Reports. However, in FY 2014 20% of 

victims converted from a Restricted to an 

Unrestricted Report.

FY 2014 SERVICE REFERRAL INFORMATION

SARCs and SAPR VAs are responsible for ensuring victims have access to medical 

treatment, counseling, legal advice, and other support services. Referrals for these 

services are made to both military and civilian resources. A referral for service can 

happen at any time while the victim is receiving assistance from a SARC or SAPR VA 

and may happen several times throughout the military justice process. This year, 

SARCs and SAPR VAs made an average of 1.9 service referrals per Service member 

victim making an Unrestricted Report. SARCs and SAPR VAs made an average of 2.0

service referrals per Service member victim making a Restricted Report. 

Figure 24 shows the average number of referrals per Service member victim in sexual 

assault reports from FY 2007 to FY 2014. The Military Services varied in the average 

number of referrals per victim:

• Army provided an average of 1.3 referrals per Service member victim making an 

Unrestricted Report and 1.7 referrals per Service member victim making a 

Restricted Report

• Navy provided an average of 3.0 referrals per Service member victim making an 

Unrestricted Report and 2.7 referrals per Service member victim making a 

Restricted Report

• Marine Corps provided an average of 3.3 referrals per Service member victim 

making an Unrestricted Report and 2.4 referrals per Service member victim 

making a Restricted Report

• Air Force provided an average of 1.4 referrals per Service member victim making 

an Unrestricted Report and 1.5 referrals per Service member victim making a 

Restricted Report

Note: Referrals in Unrestricted Reports are not listed for FY 2007 because the Military Services 

were not directed to collect these data until FY 2008.

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

The Military Services reported that there were 581 Sexual Assault Forensic 

Examinations (SAFEs) conducted for Service member victims during FY 2014. Figure 

25 depicts the reported number of SAFEs conducted for military victims of sexual 

assault from FY 2007 to FY 2014. The decision to undergo a SAFE always belongs to 

the victim.

FY 2014 EXPEDITED TRANSFERS

Since FY 2012, DoD has allowed victims who made an Unrestricted Report of sexual 

assault to request an expedited transfer from their assigned units (Table 8). This may 

take the form of a move to another duty location on the same installation, or it may 

involve moving to a new installation entirely. Requests for transfers are made to the 

unit commander, who has 72 hours to act on the request. Should the request be 

declined, victims may appeal the decision to the first General Officer (GO)/Flag Officer

(FO) in their commander’s chain of command. The GO/FO then has 72 hours to review 

the request and provide a response back to the victim. The following table shows the 

number of expedited transfers and denials since FY 2012.

RAND MILITARY WORKPLACE STUDY

In December 2014, RAND released top-line survey estimates on the prevalence of 

sexual assault, included in the Report to the President. These top-line results are now 

supplemented with more extensive analyses that examine differences between men 

and women, the Services, as well as active duty and Reserve Components. 

To reiterate, RAND designed two forms of the sexual assault prevalence survey: the 

WGRA and the RMWS. The WGRA form employed DMDC’s measure of USC to 

estimate past-year prevalence in the active duty forces. The RMWS form employed a 

newly developed measure of sexual assault that was designed to match offense 

language in the UCMJ.

In order to draw historical comparisons between earlier prevalence rates and those in 

2014, a subset of the sample was given the WGRA form of RAND’s survey. The 

majority of the respondents, however, received the new RMWS survey form. An 

unprecedentedly large sample of male Service members in particular gave RAND the 

ability to perform detailed and reliable demographic analyses with data from the RMWS

form. Thus, the results summarized below pertain to the RMWS form only. See Annex 

1 for detail on the results summarized below. 

Gender Differences in the Active Duty 

Reporting Sexual Assault

As discussed on page 13, compared to male victims, a greater percentage of female 

victims who experience sexual assault report to DoD officials. The reporting 

discrepancy between male and female victims extends beyond official reports of sexual 

assault; male victims are less likely than female victims to tell anyone about their sexual 

assault. Compared to female victims, a lower percentage of male victims told a friend 

or family member, a SARC/VA, or a counselor, therapist, or psychologist about their 

sexual assault. However, similar percentages of male and female victims told their 

supervisor or chain of command about their sexual assault. Among victims, the two 

most frequently cited “main reasons” for not reporting was that they believed the 

incident was not serious enough to report and they wanted to forget about it and move 

on. Additionally, males were more likely than females to indicate that they did not report 

their sexual assault because they feared that they would be seen as gay or bisexual. 

Characteristics of the Sexual Assault

Gender differences in the characteristics of incidents experienced by victims may help 

explain why male victims are less likely than female victims to report. Specifically, male 

victims were four times more likely than female victims to indicate that their worst 

incident of sexual assault involved hazing. Men were also more likely than women to 

describe the incident as serving to humiliate or abuse them, as opposed to having a 

sexual intent. Furthermore, when compared to female victims, a greater share of male 

victims indicated that their worst incident of sexual assault involved multiple 

perpetrators, occurred while they were at work, and did not involve alcohol. In addition, 

75% of male victims indicated that they experienced multiple incidents of sexual assault 

within the past year compared to 55% of female victims. Moreover, 43% of female

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

44

victims and about one-third of male victims experienced a penetrative sexual assault. 

Male victims who indicated they had experienced a penetrative sexual assault were

more likely than female victims to indicate physical injuries or threats of violence. 

Overall, men were more likely than women to describe their sexual assault as “hazing.” 

Some male victims who experience such hazing/bullying incidents may not even 

consider making a report because they do not recognize the incident as a sexual 

assault. 

Service Differences in the Active Duty 

Sexual assault prevalence varies by Service. The prevalence of sexual assault among 

female Service members in the Marine Corps and Navy is higher than the average 

prevalence of all other Services. Conversely, the prevalence of sexual assault among 

both male and female Service members in the Air Force is lower than the average 

prevalence of all other Services. There are other differences between the Services, 

however, that may explain the variance in sexual assault prevalence rates. 

RAND conducted a series of analyses to compare the prevalence of sexual assault 

across the Services while holding constant factors that are associated with sexual 

assault risk. The analyses statistically controlled for demographic factors such as age, 

race, education, and marital status, factors related to military experience, such as 

months deployed and pay grade, and factors related to military environment, such as 

installation size and the percentage of men in one’s occupation, installation, and unit. If 

variation in these factors explains prevalence differences across the Services, then 

controlling for these factors should result in non-significant prevalence differences. 

After controlling for factors discussed above, the sexual assault prevalence rates for 

male and female Army, Navy, and Marine Corps members were not statistically 

different. Conversely, sexual assault prevalence for male and female Air Force 

members remained statistically lower than the other three Services, even after 

introducing controls. Thus, while variations in prevalence rates across the Army, Navy, 

and Marine Corps can be attributed to demographic composition, these factors do not 

explain the relatively lower prevalence rate of sexual assault in the Air Force.

Differences between Active Duty and Reserve Component 

Compared to active duty Service members, Reserve Component members had a 

significantly lower prevalence of past-year sexual assault. Given that DMDC’s USC 

measure produces about the same top-line estimate of past-year prevalence as RAND’s 

sexual assault measure, Reserve Component past-year prevalence in FY 2014 

remained about the same as past-year prevalence in 2008 and 2012. The majority 

(86%) of Reserve Component members who experienced sexual assault in the pastyear indicated that the offender was a military member or that the incident took place in 

a military setting. This was true for Reserve Component members who served part-time 

(less than 180 days of Service in the past year) and full-time. DoD will be conducting 

the WGRR, currently scheduled for FY 2015, to follow-up on these and other RMWS

findings.

METRICS AND NON-METRICS ON SEXUAL ASSAULT

In collaboration with the White House, the Department of Defense (DoD) developed the 

following metrics and “non-metrics” to help evaluate DoD progress in sexual assault 

prevention and response (SAPR). As part of the development process, DoD canvassed 

sexual assault programs throughout the nation to identify potential points of analysis. 

Unfortunately, DoD could find no widely accepted, population-based metrics to serve as 

a reference. Therefore, DoD developed the following twelve metrics and six “nonmetrics” in a collaborative process involving DoD SAPR program experts and 

researchers. The term “metric” is used to describe a quantifiable part of a system’s 

function. Inherent in performance metrics is the concept that there may be a positive or 

negative valence associated with such measurements. In addition, adjustments in 

inputs to a process may allow an entity to influence a metric in a desired direction. For 

example, it is the stated intent of DoD to encourage greater reporting of sexual assault. 

Therefore, increases in the number of sexual assault reports may be an indicator that 

such a policy may be having the desired effect. 

DoD coined the term “non-metric” to describe aspects or outputs of the military justice 

system that should not be “influenced,” or be considered as having a positive or 

negative valence in that doing so may be considered inappropriate or unlawful under 

military law. 

Metric and non-metric points of analysis are illustrated and explained in Figure A

through Figure X. In the 2014 Report to the President of the United States on Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response1 (Report to the President), DoD provided provisional 

statistical data on sexual assault for fiscal year (FY) 2014. These data were deemed 

provisional because there was insufficient time to thoroughly and completely receive 

and validate data for all FY 2014 reports. In the current report, DoD provides final 

statistical data on sexual assault in FY 2014. Small differences between the provisional 

statistical data and the final data stem from DoD’s comprehensive data validation efforts 

in the time since the Report to the President.

METRICS 

METRIC 1: PAST-YEAR PREVALENCE OF UNWANTED SEXUAL CONTACT

DoD uses the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members

(WGRA) to assess the prevalence, or occurrence, of sexual assault in the active duty 

over a year’s time. This survey is normally conducted by Defense Manpower Data 

Center (DMDC) and required as part of the quadrennial cycle of human relations 

surveys outlined in Title 10 U.S. Code, Section 481. In the National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2012, Congress directed DoD to survey the active duty 

every two years, which allows DoD to assess the prevalence of sexual assault more 

frequently. Thus, past-year prevalence rates are available for Calendar Year (CY) 

2006, FY 2010, FY 2012, and FY 2014. 

In 2013, the leadership of the Senate Armed Services Committee requested that DoD

arrange for an independent survey to assess sexual assault prevalence. In accordance 

with this request, the RAND Corporation (RAND) was contracted to administer the 

Military Workplace Study (RMWS), which served as the 2014 WGRA. 

RAND created and simultaneously administered two versions of the survey: 

1) WGRA form: One version employed DMDC’s prior form questions about 

unwanted sexual contact (USC). USC is the WGRA survey term for the sexual 

crimes between adults, prohibited by military law, ranging from abusive sexual 

contact to rape. Survey questions were drawn from the FY 2012 WGRA to allow 

for some level of comparison with previous years’ survey data. Past-year

prevalence estimates in this report are primarily drawn from this WGRA measure 

as part of the FY 2014 RMWS. 

 

2) RMWS form: RAND also developed and administered a new measure to assess 

past-year prevalence of sexual assault that found statistically similar prevalence 

rates as the WGRA form. The newer items on the RMWS form were designed to 

closely align with legal language that describes the crimes constituting sexual 

assault in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). When describing the 

RMWS form, we refer to sexual assault, rather than USC, because the RMWS

more closely aligns with UCMJ legal language. The differences between the 

WGRA and the RMWS forms are explained in detail in RAND's report.

2

As with all victim surveys, RAND classifies Service members as having experienced

sexual assault based on their memories of the event as expressed in their survey 

responses. It is likely that a full review of all evidence would reveal that some 

respondents whom RAND classifies as not having experienced sexual assault actually 

did have one of these experiences. Similarly, some whom RAND classifies as having 

experienced a crime or violation may have experienced an event that would not meet

3 

the minimum DoD criteria. A principal focus of RAND's survey development was to 

minimize such errors, but they cannot be eliminated in a self-report survey.

Metric 1a (Figure A) illustrates the past-year rates of USC among active duty women 

and men for CY 2006, FY 2010, FY 2012, and FY 2014 using comparable survey 

questions across time. USC involves a wide range of sexual contact offenses, to 

include intentional sexual contact that occurred against a person’s will or that occurred 

when a person did not or could not consent. In FY 2014, the WGRA form of the RMWS

revealed that an estimated 4.3% of active duty women and an estimated 0.9% of active 

duty men experienced an incident of USC in the past 12 months prior to survey 

completion.3

 For active duty women, the FY 2014 USC rate is statistically lower than 

the USC rate found in FY 2012 (4.3% versus 6.1%, respectively). For active duty men, 

the FY 2014 USC rate is statistically the same as the USC rate found in FY 2012 (0.9% 

versus 1.2%, respectively).

 

3 RAND used scientific weighting to estimate prevalence rates that were representative of the entire active 

duty population. RAND provides confidence intervals for all statistics that are interpreted as population 

estimates. The estimated 4.3% prevalence rate among women has a confidence interval of 3.9% to 

4.8%, meaning that we can infer with 95% confidence that the prevalence of USC among active duty 

women is between 3.9% and 4.8%. The estimated 0.9% prevalence rate among men has a confidence 

interval of 0.7% to 1.2%, meaning that we can infer with 95% confidence that the prevalence of USC 

among active duty men is between 0.7% and 1.2%. Full methodological details and results are included 

in the RAND Military Workplace Study Report in Annex 1.

Although prevalence among female Service members decreased from FY 2012 to FY 

2014, women are still at much higher risk of USC than their male counterparts are, as 

are junior enlisted Service members compared to those of higher rank. Additionally, an 

experience of past-year sexual assault is highly correlated with an experience of pastyear sexual harassment. Compared to those who did not experience sexual 

harassment, those who did experience such incidents were more likely to experience 

sexual assault in the past-year (14 times more likely among female Service members 

and 49 times more likely among male Service members).

Metric 1b (Figure B) displays the 2014 rates of unwanted sexual contact as determined 

by the WGRA measure, designed by DMDC, and the new measure of sexual assault 

developed by RAND (RMWS form). For active duty men and women, the rates of 

sexual assault as estimated by the two methods are about the same. However, the 

methodological differences employed by the RMWS form appear to provide a “crime 

rate” that more closely aligns with legal terminology in the UCMJ.

Metric 1c (Figure C) displays the 2014 estimated number of Service members 

experiencing sexual assault as determined by the WGRA measure designed by DMDC 

and the RMWS measure of sexual assault developed by RAND. As with Metric 1b, the 

number of active duty men and women who experienced sexual assault in the past-year 

as estimated by the two methods is not statistically differentiable. 

METRIC 2: PREVALENCE VERSUS REPORTING

Underreporting occurs when crime reports to law enforcement fall far below statistical 

estimates of how often a crime may actually occur. Nationally, sexual assault is one of 

the most underreported crimes, with estimates indicating that between 65% and 84% of 

rapes and sexual assaults are not reported to police.4 Underreporting also occurs 

within the DoD. Underreporting of sexual assault interferes with DoD’s ability to provide 

victims with needed care and prevents the Department from holding offenders 

appropriately accountable. Much remains to be done to improve reporting as DoD 

estimates indicate that most military victims who experience USC do not make a sexual 

assault report. In order to better understand the extent to which sexual assault goes

unreported, Metric 2 compares the estimated number of Service members who may 

have experienced USC, as calculated with data from the WGRA form (administered by 

RAND), with the number of Service member victims in sexual assault reports for 

incidents occurring during military service.

Each year, DoD receives reports of sexual assault from both military and civilian victims. 

DoD responds to all reports of sexual assault; however, a focus on Service member 

victim reports of sexual assault for an incident during military Service allows for 

comparison with WGRA prevalence estimates. The difference between reports and the 

estimated number of military victims is illustrated in Figure D. Although reports to DoD 

authorities are unlikely to capture all USC estimated to occur in a given year, it is DoD’s 

goal to increase Service members’ confidence in reporting sexual assault. The increase

Frequency: Reported to the SAPR Joint Executive Council (JCS Tank) on a biannual basis. 

Sources: Service reports of sexual assault (CY 2004 – FY 2013) and Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID, FY

Members (WGRA, 2010/2012); WGRA form, RAND Military Workplace Study (RMWS, 2014). 

Implication: Capturing a greater proportion of sexual assault incidents in reports to DoD improves visibility over the extent of 

the problem. It is DoD's goal to decrease the prevalence of sexual assault through prevention, while encouraging a greater 

number of victims to make a Restricted or Unrestricted Report. Increased reporting allows a greater number of victims to obtain 

needed assistance, and gives DoD an opportunity to hold offenders appropriately accountable.

through prevention efforts, is expected to narrow the “gap” between prevalence and 

reporting. 

As Figure D shows, 4,768 Service member victims in Unrestricted and Restricted 

Reports of sexual assault made to DoD authorities in FY 2014 accounted for 

approximately 25% of the estimated number of Service members who may have 

experienced USC that year (~18,900). This represents a decrease in underreporting 

(e.g., the “gap” between reports received and the survey-estimated number of victims) 

since FY 2012, when 2,828 Service member victims in reports to DoD authorities 

accounted for about 11% of the 2012 USC prevalence estimate (~26,000).

Although male Service members account for the majority of the survey-estimated 

victims of USC (about 10,400 men and 8,500 women in FY 2014), a greater proportion 

of female victims reported their assault. Specifically, 43% (3,686) of survey-estimated 

female victims, but only 10% (1,082) of male victims, made a report of sexual assault for 

an incident occurring during their military service.

DoD expects that the “gap” between the survey-estimated number of Service members 

experiencing USC and the number of Service members accounted for in sexual assault 

reports to DoD authorities can be reduced in two ways: 

• Over time, initiatives to build victims’ confidence in the system are expected to 

increase the number of Service members who choose to make an Unrestricted or 

Restricted Report.

• Over time, the effects of prevention initiatives implemented across DoD are 

expected to reduce past-year prevalence rates of USC, as measured by the 

WGRA. 

METRIC 3: BYSTANDER INTERVENTION EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST-YEAR

The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI) Organizational Climate 

Survey (DEOCS)

5 included two items to assess respondents’ bystander intervention 

experiences in the past 12 months. The first item asked whether participants observed 

a situation they believed could have led to a sexual assault within the past 12 months.

If respondents answered “yes” to this question, they were prompted to answer a second 

question to identify the response that most closely resembled their actions. The two 

items are listed below:

1. In the past 12 months, I observed a situation that I believe was, or could have led 

to, a sexual assault: 

• Yes

• No

2. In response to this situation (select the one response that most closely 

resembles your actions):

• I stepped in and separated the people involved in the situation

• I asked the person who appeared to be at risk if they needed help

• I confronted the person who appeared to be causing the situation

• I created a distraction to cause one or more of the people to disengage 

from the situation

• I asked others to step in as a group and diffuse the situation

• I told someone in a position of authority about the situation

• I considered intervening in the situation, but I could not safely take any 

action

• I decided not to take action

Of the respondents who completed the DEOCS in FY 2014, about 4% indicated they 

had observed a situation they believed was, or could have led to, a sexual assault (i.e., 

a high-risk situation). However, of those who observed a high-risk situation, the vast 

majority took some action to intervene (Figure E).

In order to understand response differences between certain demographic groups, 

DEOMI conducted subsequent comparisons as follows: 

• Male respondents compared to female respondents

• Junior enlisted (E1 to E3)/non-commissioned officer (E4 to E6) respondents 

compared to senior enlisted member (E7 to E9)/warrant officer (WO1 to 

CWO5)/officer (O1 and above) respondents

Compared to men, women were more likely to observe a high-risk situation and more 

likely to intervene (Figure F and Figure G). Officers and senior enlisted Service 

members were less likely to observe a high-risk situation, but more likely to intervene 

(Figure F and Figure G) when compared to junior enlisted members and noncommissioned officers.

METRIC 4: COMMAND CLIMATE INDEX – ADDRESSING CONTINUUM OF HARM

Respondents who completed the DEOCS answered three questions about their 

perceptions of the extent to which their leadership promotes a climate based on mutual 

respect and trust. These items, listed below, use a four-point scale ranging from “Not at 

All” to “Great Extent.” A high score indicates a more favorable climate. 

To what extent does your chain of command:

• Promote a unit climate based on “respect and trust”

• Refrain from sexist comments and behaviors

• Actively discourage sexist comments and behaviors

The responses to these three items were then combined into an index, using a fourpoint scale. The data displayed represent the average monthly responses from each of 

the demographic groups. Overall, DEOCS respondents indicated a favorable command 

climate. Perceptions of command climate are less favorable among junior enlisted 

members and non-commissioned officers (3.3 out of 4.0), compared to senior enlisted 

Service members and officers (3.6 out of 4.0). Moreover, perceptions of command 

climate are slightly less favorable among women than among men (Figure H). 

Although between 100,000 and 200,000 personnel complete the DEOCS each month, 

the respondents may not be completely representative of the force as a whole. 

However, the consistency indicated in monthly results is notable, given that each month 

represents a different group of respondents. It is important to note that this is the first 

year that the DEOCS results have been used in this way, and the data have not been 

fully analyzed to determine scientific reliability and validity, representativeness, and 

sensitivity to changes in the military population. The DEOCS remains a valuable tool to 

assess climate on the unit level. Nonetheless, the inferences that can be made in 

combining the data of many units for a DoD-wide or Service-wide picture of climate are 

subject to limitations. DoD will be reviewing its metric methodology in the forthcoming 

year to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

METRIC 5: INVESTIGATION LENGTH

As illustrated in Figure I, it took an average of 142 days, or 4.7 months, to complete a 

sexual assault investigation in FY 2014, up slightly from the 121 day average 

investigation length in FY 2013. DoD began tracking investigation length in FY 2013; 

therefore, data from previous fiscal years are not available. It is important to note that 

the length of an investigation does not necessarily reflect an investigation’s quality. The 

time it takes to conduct an investigation depends on a variety of factors, including the 

complexity of the allegation, the number and location of potential witnesses involved, 

and the laboratory analysis required for the evidence. Thus, the factors that affect 

investigation length vary on a case-by-case basis. Knowledge of the average length of 

a sexual assault investigation will help inform victims about the investigative process 

and allows DoD to assess its resources and investigative capabilities moving forward.

Survivors who completed the 2014 Survivor Experience Survey (SES)6 reported the 

extent to which they were satisfied with the services provided by their SARC, VA, UVA 

and Special Victims’ Counsel/Victims’ Legal Counsel (SVC/VLC). As illustrated in 

Figure K, the vast majority of survivors expressed satisfaction with the services provided 

by their SARCs, VAs/UVAs, and SVCs/VLCs. The SES is the first Department-wide 

effort to assess victims’ experiences with the DoD response system. DoD will continue 

to administer the SES on an ongoing basis to assess survivors’ needs and experiences 

in an effort to improve victim services.

METRIC 8: PERCENTAGE OF SUBJECTS WITH VICTIMS DECLINING TO PARTICIPATE 

IN THE MILITARY JUSTICE PROCESS

The Services reported that DoD commanders, in conjunction with their legal advisors, 

reviewed and made case disposition decisions for 2,625 subjects in FY 2014. However, 

the evidence did not support taking disciplinary action against everyone accused of a 

sexual assault crime. For example, disciplinary action may be precluded when victims 

decline to participate in the military justice process. In FY 2014, 9% of accused 

subjects whose cases were presented to command for consideration of action did not 

receive disciplinary action because their victims declined to participate in the justice 

process. As illustrated in Figure L, the percentage of subjects with victims declining to 

participate remained steady from FY 2009 to FY 2014, with the exception of an increase 

in FY 2010. Although the majority of victims participate in the justice process, DoD will 

continue to pursue avenues for greater and sustained victim involvement in the justice 

system. Recent initiatives, such as the SVCs, Counsel/Advocacy Program, are 

expected to encourage greater victim participation and engagement with the military 

justice process. 

METRIC 9: PERCEPTIONS OF RETALIATION 

The Department’s goal is to have a climate of confidence where victims feel free to 

report sexual assault without any concern of retaliation or negative repercussions for 

doing so. In an attempt to gather information about perceptions of retaliation as they 

relate to sexual assault reporting, DoD pulled data from three sources.

Given the challenges associated with interpreting these data, DoD sought to sample a 

number of domains to get as full a picture of this phenomenon as possible. It should be

noted that these sources provide data on victim’s broad perceptions of retaliation that

do not necessarily align with actionable offenses that meet the elements of proof 

required for a charge of retaliation under military law.

• Command Climate Perspective (DEOCS)

• RAND Military Workplace Study (RMWS)

• Survivor Experience Survey (SES)

A. Command Climate Perspective 

The DEOCS included six items to assess the extent to which Service members believed 

their command or units would retaliate against victims who reported a sexual assault. 

The items used a four-point scale ranging from “Not at all likely” to “Very likely.” The 

responses to the items listed below were coded such that a high score indicates a more 

favorable climate and combined into a four-point index: 

If someone were to report a sexual assault to your current chain of command, how likely 

is it that:

• Unit members would label the person making the report a troublemaker

• Unit members would support the person making the report

• The alleged offender(s) or their associates would retaliate against the person 

making the report

• The chain of command would take steps to protect the safety of the person 

making the report

• The chain of command would support the person making the report

• The chain of command would take corrective action to address factors that may 

have led to the sexual assault

Overall, Service members who completed the DEOCS perceived the potential for 

retaliation from their command and unit members to be unlikely (i.e. they perceived a 

favorable climate). However, men (3.5 out of 4.0) perceived a slightly more favorable 

climate with a lower likelihood of retaliation compared to women (3.4 out of 4.0; Figure 

M). Moreover, senior enlisted Service members and officers (3.7 out of 4.0) perceived a 

more favorable climate and perceived that retaliation was less likely to occur compared 

to junior enlisted Service members and non-commissioned officers (3.4 out of 4.0). 

Although between 100,000 and 200,000 personnel complete the DEOCS each month, 

the respondents may not be completely representative of the force as a whole. The

consistency indicated in monthly results is notable, given that each month represents a 

different group of respondents.7

 

7 As previously stated, this is the first year that the DEOCS results have been used in this way, and the 

data have not been fully analyzed to determine scientific reliability and validity, representativeness, and 

sensitivity to changes in the military population.

B. The RAND Military Workplace Study – WGRA Responses 

According to the WGRA form, of the women who indicated experiencing USC in the 

year preceding the survey, and who reported the matter to a military authority or 

organization, 62% perceived some form of professional or social retaliation, an 

administrative action, and/or a punishment. Figure N displays the specific types of 

experiences. The results of the WGRA form, shown in Figure N, were not statistically 

different from the results on retaliation from the RWMS form.8

Adverse administrative actions and punishment for infractions are not included under 

the category of "professional retaliation" in Figure N because these actions are not 

necessarily retaliatory. They could occur after a sexual assault report to address victim 

safety and health concerns or to address collateral misconduct under military law. 

However, if these actions are taken with the intention of penalizing a victim for reporting 

a sexual assault, they could be considered professional retaliation. 

 

8 On the RMWS form, 54.5% of female Service members who made an official report of sexual assault 

perceived retaliation (44% social, 28% professional, 25% adverse actions, and 10% punishments).

 

Description: Female victims who indicated they perceived retaliation after reporting a sexual assault. 

Source: 2014 RMWS, WGRA form. 

Implication: Displays the perceptions of those respondents who experienced USC and reported the incident to a DoD authority. 

Most respondents (53%) indicated experiencing social retaliation. 

Summary Points: In FY 2014, 62% of women who experienced USC and reported it, also perceived some form of professional 

or social retaliation. Due to small sample size, the percentage for men was not reportable. 

*Notes: Types of perceived retaliation do not sum to 62%, because respondents could select more than one type of retaliation. 

These estimates were created using the WGRA form, WGRA-type weights, with item missing among item eligible respondents

C. Survivor Experience Survey 

A pattern similar to the RMWS was observed in the SES results, with 59% of 

respondents perceiving social retaliation and 40% perceiving professional retaliation 

(Figure O). The SES draws from a convenience sample of survivors who responded to 

a SARC’s invitation to take the survey. Nonetheless, the results on this item were within 

the margins of error associated with a similar item from the WGRA form, administered 

by RAND (Figure N), giving a good indication that the respondents to the SES had 

similar experiences as those respondents in the more representative RMWS. 

That there is retaliation perceived of any kind is a serious concern; however, additional 

information from the SES gives a greater understanding of the overall impact of those 

experiences on individuals. Respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement 

with a number of items that described their experience with their unit commander/

director. Of the 64% of respondents who made an Unrestricted Report and spoke to 

their unit commander/director in response to the sexual assault, more than two-thirds

Source: 2014 Survivor Experience Survey (SES). 

Implication: Provides an indication of the experience of survivors who report a sexual assault.

Summary Points: Overall, a substantial proportion of survivors perceived some kind of retaliation. However, a higher

percentage of survivors reported social ostracization than professional retaliation. 

Notes: Social retaliation includes being ignored by coworkers, blamed for the situation, made to feel responsible for 

changes in the unit. Professional retaliation includes loss of privileges, denied promotion/training, transferred to less 

favorable job, unwanted increased supervision. Percentages listed for professional retaliation do not add to 40% due to 

rounding.

agreed the unit commander/director supported them (82%), took steps to address their 

privacy and confidentiality (80%), treated them professionally (79%), listened to them 

without judgment (78%), and thoroughly answered their questions (70%). Across these 

items, less than one-fifth (between 14 and 18%) of respondents indicated they 

disagreed with those statements. Of the 64% of respondents who made an 

Unrestricted Report and spoke to their unit commander/director in response to the 

sexual assault, almost three-quarters (73%) indicated that they were satisfied with the 

unit commander/director’s response to the report of sexual assault, whereas 16% 

indicated they were dissatisfied. 

SES respondents were less satisfied with the response of other members of their chain 

of command. Of the 81% of respondents who made an Unrestricted Report and spoke 

to another member in their chain of command in response to the sexual assault, about 

two-thirds (61%) indicated that, overall, they were satisfied with the other member’s 

response to the report of sexual assault. More than one quarter (29%) indicated they 

were dissatisfied with the other member’s response to the sexual assault. Based on 

this, respondents to the SES appeared to have a better experience working with their 

commander than they did with others lower in their chain of command. This finding, 

while limited to the SES, may have broader applicability to DoD training initiatives, in 

that over the past two years DoD has worked to improve pre-command training for 

officers and senior enlisted members. Furthermore, this finding suggests that expanded 

leadership training on the SAPR program for other members of the chain of command 

may be warranted.

Finally, one finding from the SES provides additional insight about survivors’ satisfaction 

with DoD’s sexual assault response system. Given the potential impact of survivors 

experiences on the future decisions of others survivors, one of the ways DoD measures 

progress is to assess whether respondents who report a sexual assault would 

recommend others report as well. In the 2014 SES, nearly three quarters (73%) of 

respondents indicated, based on their overall experience of reporting, that yes, they 

would recommend others report their sexual assault, whereas 14% of respondents 

indicated no, and 13% were unsure if they would recommend others report their sexual 

assault. 

METRIC 10: VICTIM EXPERIENCE – VICTIM KEPT REGULARLY INFORMED OF THE 

MILITARY JUSTICE PROCESS

As displayed in Figure P, 69% of victims who completed the SES reported that they 

were, to a large or moderate extent, kept informed of their case’s progress. DoD policy 

requires that victims are kept informed of the legal proceedings against the alleged 

perpetrator of their sexual assault. Commanders hold primary responsibility for 

informing victims on a monthly basis about the progress on their cases.

METRIC 11: PERCEPTIONS OF LEADERSHIP SUPPORT FOR SAPR

The DEOCS included two questions on leadership support for SAPR. The items listed 

below used a four-point scale ranging from “Not at All” to “Great Extent.” The 

responses to the following items were coded such that a high score indicates higher 

perceived support.

To what extent does your chain of command:

• Encourage victims to report sexual assault? 

• Create an environment where victims feel comfortable reporting sexual assault? 

The responses to these items were combined into an index and averaged across all 

military respondents to the DEOCS each month. Overall, Service members who 

completed the DEOCS reported that their command supported sexual assault reporting 

by victims. While an overall encouraging trend was observed in DEOCS results, there 

is much work to be done to address observed differences in perceptions of command 

support for SAPR by gender and rank. Consistent with the pattern of results for 

previous DEOCS metrics, men (3.6 out of 4.0) perceived greater command support for 

victim reporting compared to women (3.4 out of 4.0; Figure Q). Additionally, senior 

enlisted Service members and officers perceived greater command support for SAPR 

(3.7 out of 4.0) compared to junior enlisted members and non-commissioned officers

(3.5 out of 4.0). 

Description: Survey respondents, who made an Unrestricted Report, indicated the extent to which they were regularly 

informed of updates as their case progressed through the response process. 

Source: 2014 Survivor Experience Survey (SES). 

Implication: Indication of whether victims are kept regularly informed of their case's progress, as required by DoD policy. 

Summary Points: Results suggest that the majority of victims were kept updated on their case.

METRIC 12: REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT OVER TIME

Reports of sexual assault are imperative for DoD to track for several reasons. The 

number of sexual assault reports received each year indicates:

• Number of victims who were sufficiently confident in the response system to 

make a report, 

• Number of victims who gained access to DoD support and services, and

• Number of victims who may be willing to participate in the military justice system 

to hold offenders appropriately accountable. 

Reports of Sexual 

Assault Total Unrestricted Restricted % of Reports Restricted

DoD FY 2014 6131 (+11%) = 4660 (+10%) + 1471 (+14%) 24%

DoD FY 2013 5518 = 4225 + 1293 23%

Description: Year to year trend of Restricted and Unrestricted Reports received by DoD. Both Restricted and Unrestricted 

Reports represent one victim per report.

Frequency: Reported to the SAPR Joint Executive Council (JEC) and Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Tank on a quarterly 

basis. 

Source: FY 2007 to FY 2013 = Service Reporting, FY 2014 Source = Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID).

Implication: A change in reports of sexual assault may reflect a change in victim confidence in DoD response systems. 

The continuing growth of Restricted Reporting may be a sign that victims view this option as a valuable and trustworthy 

means to access support while maintaining confidentiality.

Summary: Reports of sexual assault increased by 11% from FY 2013 to FY 2014.

In FY 2014, the Military Services received 6,131 reports of alleged sexual assault 

involving Service members as either victims or subjects, which represents an 11% 

increase from the 5,518 reports made in FY 2013 (Figure R). It should be noted that 

while these reports were received in FY 2014, some reported incidents occurred in prior 

years. Of the 6,131 reports, 516 (approximately 8%) were made by Service members 

for incidents that occurred prior to their entering military service.9

• The Military Services received 4,660 Unrestricted Reports involving Service 

members as either victims or subjects, a 10% increase over FY 2013. 

• The Military Services initially received 1,840 Restricted Reports involving Service 

members as either victims or subjects. Of the 1,840 initial Restricted Reports, 

369 (20%) reports later converted to Unrestricted Reports. These converted 

Restricted Reports are now counted with the Unrestricted Reports. There were 

1,471 reports remaining restricted, a 14% increase over FY 2014. 

The increase in reporting from FY 2013 to FY 2014 is more modest than the increase in 

reporting from FY 2012 to FY 2013. This is not surprising given that there was an 

unprecedented 53% increase in reporting in FY 2013. In FY 2014, the high level of 

reporting seen in FY 2013 was sustained. 

NON-METRICS 

NON-METRIC 1: COMMAND ACTION – CASE DISPOSITIONS

The following information is for those subjects’ cases whose investigations were 

complete and case disposition results were reported in FY 2014. In FY 2014, 2,625

subjects investigated for sexual assault were primarily under the legal authority of DoD. 

However, as with the civilian justice system, evidentiary issues may have prevented 

disciplinary action from being taken against some subjects. In addition, commanders 

declined to take action on some subjects after a legal review of the matter indicated that 

the allegations against the accused were unfounded, meaning they were determined to 

be false or baseless. Command action was not possible in 24% of the cases 

considered for action by military commanders (Figure S) in FY 2014. 

 

9 Prior to FY 2014, an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault may have included one or more victims and 

one or more subjects. DoD relied upon the Military Criminal Investigative Organizations (MCIOs) to 

provide the number of Unrestricted Reports each year, and the subsequent number of victims and 

subjects associated with those reports. In FY 2014, DoD moved to the Defense Sexual Assault Incident 

Database (DSAID) as the primary source of reporting statistics with each Unrestricted Report 

corresponding to a single victim.
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

26

For the remaining 76% of cases considered for command action, commanders had 

sufficient evidence and legal authority to support some form of disciplinary action for a 

sexual assault offense or other misconduct. Figure S displays command action taken 

from FY 2009 to FY 2014 and Figure T displays command action in FY 2014 for 

penetrating versus sexual contact crimes. Since FY 2007, the percentage of subjects 

who had charges preferred to court-martial has steadily increased and the percentage

of subjects for whom command action was not possible has steadily declined.

crime (penetrating versus sexual contact). Not all cases preferred to court-martial 

proceed to trial. In certain circumstances, DoD may approve a resignation or discharge 

in lieu of court-martial (RILO/DILO). Furthermore, Article 32 (pre-trial) hearings can 

result in a recommendation to dismiss all or some of the charges. Commanders may

use evidence gathered during sexual assault investigations and evidence heard at an 

Article 32 hearing to impose a nonjudicial punishment (NJP) against subjects. As seen 

in Figure U, the majority of cases preferred to court-martial, for both penetrating and 

sexual contact offenses, proceeded to trial.

NON-METRIC 3: TIME INTERVAL FROM REPORT OF SEXUAL ASSAULT TO COURT 

OUTCOME

As illustrated in Figure V, the mean and median length of time from the date a victim 

reported a sexual assault to the date that court-martial proceedings concluded, was 246

days (8.1 months) and 260 days (8.5 months), respectively. This is the first year that 

DoD has collected these data. There are a variety of factors, such as the complexity of 

the allegation, the need for laboratory analysis of the evidence, the quantity and type of 

legal proceedings, availability of counsel and judges, and other factors that likely affect 

the interval of time between a report of sexual assault and the conclusion of a courtmartial. That notwithstanding, knowledge of the average amount of time between a 

report and the end of a court-martial is useful because it improves the transparency of 

the military justice process and helps to inform victims about what to expect.

Description: Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD 2910 to the date that a sentence is imposed or accused 

is acquitted.

Source: Start = DSAID DD Form 2910 date; End = DSAID/OTJAG Report of Trial.

factors that influence the interval of time between a report of sexual assault and the 

conclusion of a NJP. However, knowledge of the average amount of time between a 

report and the end of NJP proceedings improves the transparency of the NJP process 

and helps to set appropriate expectations.

INTRODUCTION 

In March 2015, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report 

titled “Military Personnel: Actions Needed to Address Sexual Assaults of Male 

Servicemembers.”1 The report presents six recommendations for improving the 

Department of Defense's (DoD) sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR) 

services with respect to male Service members. The following document outlines 

GAO’s recommendations and responds to each with the progress DoD has already 

made in addressing GAO’s concerns. This document also discusses plans for future 

DoD action to address male sexual assault victimization.

GAO RECOMMENDATION 1: DATA-DRIVEN DECISION 

MAKING

“To help DOD’s sexual assault prevention and response program realize the full benefit 

of the data it collects on sexual assault incidents, we recommend that the Secretary of 

Defense direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, in 

collaboration with the Secretaries of the military services, to develop a plan for datadriven decision making to prioritize program efforts.”

DoD integrates responsive, comprehensive, and rigorous systems of measurement and 

analysis into every aspect of the SAPR program. Over the past few years, DoD has 

built a foundation of data sources to address male victimization. In the forthcoming 

years, we will use these information streams to better shape policy and programs for 

male victims. The following sections summarize current data sources that inform SAPR 

policy and programs.

DEFENSE SEXUAL ASSAULT INCIDENT DATABASE 

In accordance with the fiscal year (FY) 2009 National Defense Authorization Act 

(NDAA), DoD created the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID), a secure 

internet database designed for reporting and case management of sexual assaults 

committed by or against Service members. Using DSAID, DoD can analyze sexual 

assault incident data with greater depth and precision than ever before. For instance, 

DSAID has given DoD greater visibility over the type of sexual assault reports made by 

male and female victims (Table 1).

DoD is exploring analytic options to better understand and summarize the vast amount 

of information stored in DSAID. Analyses focused on gender differences can inform 

DoD about the unique needs of male and female victims who report their sexual assault. 

These analyses can investigate whether significant demographic differences exist 

between male and female victims and their alleged perpetrators, whether the 

characteristics of sexual assault incidents vary by victim gender, and whether SAPR 

response efforts (e.g., referrals and services offered) differ by victim gender. 

Furthermore, these analyses allow DoD to compare survey data on sexual assault 

prevalence estimates to reporting statistics.

It is important to note that DSAID only tracks the subset of victims who made a report of 

sexual assault. The data on male victims may be particularly sparse because male 

Service members are less likely to report sexual assault than female Service members. 

As such, DoD relies on scientific population surveys to determine sexual assault 

prevalence and assess the experience of sexual assault victims. 

WORKPLACE AND GENDER RELATIONS SURVEY/RAND MILITARY WORKPLACE 

STUDY 

From Calendar Year (CY) 2006 to FY 2012, the Defense Manpower Data Center 

(DMDC) assessed the prevalence of unwanted sexual contact (USC) using the 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

3 

Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (WGRA). USC is the 

DMDC survey term for the range of sexual crimes between adults, prohibited by military 

law, ranging from abusive sexual contact to rape. In its earliest iterations, some WGRA

estimates were unreportable due to small sample sizes. More recently, DMDC sampled 

a greater proportion of Service members to allow for detailed analyses on small 

subsamples of interest, such as men who indicated they had experienced USC. 

DoD contracted the RAND Corporation (RAND) to administer the RAND Military 

Workplace Study (RMWS) to determine the prevalence of sexual assault in FY 2014. At 

the request of DoD, RAND sampled the entire population of active duty women and 

25% of active duty men. The unprecedentedly large number of male Service member 

respondents gave RAND the ability to perform more detailed and reliable demographic 

analyses compared to past surveys. When describing the new RAND prevalence 

survey below, we refer to sexual assault, rather than USC, because the RAND survey

measure was designed to more closely align with the language used to describe sexual 

assault crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). 

The FY 2014 RMWS identified important differences between the sexual assault 

experiences of male and female Service members. Overall, men are more likely than 

women to indicate that the sexual assault was perpetrated by multiple offenders and to

describe the incident as “hazing.” Male sexual assault victims also indicated that the 

sexual assault occurred in the workplace and without the use of alcohol. Some male 

victims who experience such hazing/bullying incidents may not consider making a report 

because they may not identify the incident as a sexual assault. In addition, men are 

more likely than women to experience violent or abusive sexual assaults when that 

assault is penetrative.

Lastly, among both male and female victims, an experience of past-year sexual assault 

was highly correlated with an experience of past-year sexual harassment; however, the 

relationship between sexual assault and sexual harassment was stronger for male 

victims. For more details about gender differences in sexual assault experiences, see 

RAND’s report in Annex 1.

SERVICE ACADEMY GENDER RELATIONS SURVEY 

DoD assesses the prevalence of USC at the Military Service Academies (MSAs) 

through the Service Academy Gender Relations Survey (SAGR), administered by 

DMDC. For the first time in 2014, SAGR sampled the entire population of male and 

female cadets/midshipmen, generating a much higher number of male respondents 

than past surveys. The large sample of male SAGR respondents enabled DMDC to 

conduct more thorough and complete analyses of the experiences of male victims than 

in past survey iterations. Across the MSA population, estimated past-year prevalence 

of USC was down significantly for both male and female cadets/midshipmen.

Compared to female cadets/midshipmen victims, a higher percentage of male 

cadets/midshipmen victims indicated that their sexual assault was a hazing incident 

and/or that it involved some form of “horseplay,” locker room behavior, or other similar 

behaviors. Furthermore, compared to female cadets/midshipmen victims, fewer male

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

4 

cadets/midshipmen victims at each Academy indicated that they or their alleged

offender(s) had been drinking alcohol at the time of the incident that had the greatest 

impact on them. Finally, similar to the RMWS, a strong relationship between 

experiences of sexual harassment/sexist behavior and sexual assault was observed in 

the 2014 SAGR. For more details about the 2014 SAGR, see DMDC’s “2014 Service 

Academy Gender Relations Survey Report.”2

SURVIVOR EXPERIENCE SURVEY AND MILITARY JUSTICE EXPERIENCE SURVEY 

In 2014, DoD administered the Survivor Experience Survey (SES) to examine the 

experiences of Service members who made a Restricted or Unrestricted Report of 

sexual assault. The SES is the first survey of its kind, providing DoD with greater 

visibility over male and female sexual assault survivors’ experiences with DoD’s 

response process on a continual basis.3 Furthermore, DoD developed the Military 

Justice Experience Survey (MJES) to learn about survivors’ experiences with the justice 

system. Participant recruitment for the MJES will begin in Spring or Summer of 2015 

and will proceed on a continual, long-term basis. 

DEFENSE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE ORGANIZATIONAL 

CLIMATE SURVEY

The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey

(DEOCS) provides commanders with a unique opportunity to receive anonymous 

feedback from their unit on a wide variety of topics related to equal opportunity and 

organizational effectiveness, including the unit’s perceptions of command support of the 

SAPR program. Although between 100,000 and 200,000 personnel take the DEOCS

each month, respondents may not be completely representative of the force as a whole. 

Nonetheless, the DEOCS is a useful tool, particularly for individual unit commanders, to 

assess SAPR program progress.

Analyses of DEOCS data are presented by gender, which often demonstrate small but 

important differences between men and women’s perceptions of command climate. 

Overall, Service members perceive a favorable command climate with respect to SAPR; 

however, male Service members tend to have a more positive view than their female 

counterparts. To a greater extent than female Service members, male Service 

members indicated that their chain of command promoted a climate based on “respect 

and trust” free of sexist behaviors, believed that retaliation against victims of sexual 

assault was unlikely in their unit, and thought that their command supported sexual 

assault prevention and response.

HEALTH RELATED BEHAVIORS SURVEY OF ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Health Related Behaviors Survey of Active Duty Military Personnel (HRB) 

examines health issues relevant to the wellbeing and readiness of the Services. Recent

analyses of the 2011 survey, sponsored by DoD’s Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office (SAPRO), the Defense Suicide Prevention Office, and the United 

States Coast Guard, focused on sexual assault victimization and health behavior in the 

Services. According to the HRB, both male and female Service members who 

experienced sexual assault, both before and after joining the military, were more likely 

to report suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and post-traumatic stress than those with 

no history of sexual assault. Furthermore, those with a history of sexual assault 

victimization were more likely to indicate that they needed and/or received mental health 

services than those with no history of sexual assault. However, of those victims who 

received mental health services, a significant minority (33% among men and 27% 

among women) perceived that seeking mental health services negatively affected their 

military careers.4

An experience of sexual assault had important implications for the career attitudes of 

sexual assault victims, particularly among men. Men who experienced sexual assault 

after joining the military exhibited lower career commitment (as measured by selfreported intent to remain in the military) compared to men who were not assaulted. The 

difference in career commitment between women who had been sexually assaulted and 

those who had not been assaulted was not statistically significant. 

SECTION SUMMARY

The breadth of data sources summarized above demonstrates DoD’s strong 

commitment to data-driven decision making. With this solid foundation, DoD’s analytic 

capabilities will continue to grow and become more robust as annual data are collected 

and trend analyses are conducted. 

GAO RECOMMENDATIONS 2 AND 3: GENDER-SPECIFIC 

TREATMENTS FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS

“To help ensure that all of DOD’s medical and mental health providers are generally 

aware of any gender-specific needs of sexual assault victims, and that victims are 

provided the care that most effectively meets those needs, we are recommending that 

the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, in collaboration with the services’ 

Surgeons General, 

• Systematically evaluate the extent to which differences exist in the medical and 

mental health care needs of male and female sexual assault victims, and the 

care regimen, if any, that will best meet those needs; and 

 

4 While these follow-up analyses did not have sufficient information to determine how respondents’ 

military careers were affected by seeking mental health services, sexual assault produces more trauma

symptoms than many other events, even high combat exposure (Kang, et al., 2005). Role of Sexual 

Assault on Risk of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder among Gulf War Veterans, Annals of Epidemiology, 

15, 191-195). 
FISCAL YEAR 2014 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

• Develop and issue guidance for the department’s medical and mental health 

providers—and other personnel, as appropriate—based on the results of this 

evaluation that delineates these gender-specific distinctions and the care 

regimen that is recommended to most effectively meet those needs.” 

DoD is committed to fully understanding the needs of both male and female victims to 

further improve its response services and treatment programs. A review of the research 

literature, DoD-sponsored research, and extant treatment approaches within the 

Veterans Administration provides important insights about the different needs of male 

and female victims. DoD will continue to explore different approaches to best treat 

sexual assault victims and will issue guidance to expand its current approach.

REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON TREATMENT APPROACHES FOR MALE VICTIMS

Although men and women experience many of the same psychological difficulties due 

to sexual assault victimization, they also face distinct challenges.5 Male victims of 

sexual assault may have difficulty reconciling their masculine identity—normatively 

associated with strength and control—with the experience of being a victim.6,7 

Furthermore, male victims may struggle with their sexual identity, and treatment needs 

may vary depending on victims’ sexual orientation and the gender of their perpetrators.8

As summarized in the prior section, DoD-sponsored research (RMWS and SAGR) 

suggests that the nature of sexual assault experienced by men versus women varies in 

important ways. Overall, men are more likely than women to experience sexual assault

allegedly perpetrated by multiple offenders and described as “hazing.”

Widely endorsed myths suggesting that men cannot be raped or should be able to 

defend themselves against rape likely deter male victims from reporting their sexual 

assault.9,10 Male victims may fear that they will face disbelief, blame, and scorn if they 

choose to report.11 Additionally, male victims who experience sexual assault during 

incidents of hazing or bullying may not consider reporting the experience because of the 

misperception that the incident is not a “sexual” assault. When men do seek medical 

attention after a sexual assault, they often seek assistance for secondary injuries 

without revealing the sexual assault that led to those injuries.12 Research on the civilian

population suggests that societally-endorsed myths about rape even persist among 

service providers, including counselors, crisis workers, medical personnel and law 

enforcement officials.13,14,15

Collectively, the research described above suggests the need for improved outreach to 

male victims and enhanced training for service providers.16 Expanded training for 

professionals who work with sexual assault victims can increase awareness and dispel 

widely endorsed myths about male rape. For example, medical personnel may require 

specific education on how to examine male victims and collect evidence.17 Given that 

male victims may seek medical attention for injuries resulting from a sexual assault 

without referencing the sexual assault, more subtle ways to ask about and detect

medical conditions associated with sexual assault victimization could be incorporated 

into general medical visits. 

Additionally, treatment approaches for male victims may need to address gender and 

sexual identity issues and externalizing behaviors (e.g., alcohol and drug abuse, angry 

outbursts, self-harm, etc.) that male victims may exhibit more frequently than female 

victims.18, 19 Finally, tailoring treatments may better address the needs of individuals 

regardless of gender. For example, the circumstances of the assault, the gender of the 

alleged perpetrator, and the sexual orientation of the victim may be important factors to 

consider when developing treatment approaches for both male and female victims.20

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS’ APPROACH TO MALE VICTIMS

In addition to considering empirical research on treating sexual assault, DoD also 

examines existing treatment programs for sexual assault victims to inform its policies. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs has a well-known program to treat male and female 

victims of sexual assault. Along with residential facilities that specialize in sexual 

assault and male victim care21, practitioners at outpatient Veterans Affairs centers 

across the country treat male victims where they reside. Specialists at the Department 

of Veterans Affairs emphasize that there is no “one size fits all” treatment approach to 

treating sexual assault victims. Since each victim has specific needs, the tailoring of

treatment approaches should primarily depend on the individual’s symptoms and needs. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs trains providers to recognize the unique 

experiences of male sexual assault victims, while at the same time appreciating the 

wide variability in responses to sexual assault.22

In recent years, the Department of Veterans Affairs has found it beneficial to offer 

mixed-gender group therapy in residential facilities while also providing the time and 

space for same-gender process groups. This approach, however, may not suit the 

needs of all victims and requires highly skilled providers to manage and deliver patient 

care in this setting. Some victims may prefer a mixed-gender approach, while others 

may want to meet with men only or women only. Still others may prefer to solely 

address the symptoms of their sexual assault, and may join groups that focus on 

general trauma, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or depression.

SECTION SUMMARY

Support services for and research on male victims of sexual assault has yet to reach the 

level of services for and research on female victims. As such, DoD is considering

various approaches to close this gap in knowledge and provide specific guidance on 

treating male victims. 

GAO RECOMMENDATIONS 4, 5, AND 6: ADDRESS MALE 

SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMIZATION IN SAPR TRAINING, 

COMMUNICATION, AND STRATEGY 

“To address challenges faced by male servicemembers as DOD continues to seek to 

transform its culture to address sexual assault, we are recommending that the Secretary 

of Defense direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, in 

collaboration with the Secretaries of the military services, to:

• Develop clear goals with associated metrics to drive the changes needed to 

address sexual assaults of males and articulate these goals, for example in the 

department’s next sexual assault prevention strategy; 

• Include information about the sexual victimization of males in communications to 

servicemembers that are used to raise awareness of sexual assault and the 

department’s efforts to prevent and respond to it; and 

• Revise sexual assault prevention and response training to more comprehensively 

and directly address the incidence of male servicemembers being sexually 

assaulted and how certain behavior and activities—like hazing—can lead to a 

sexual assault.”

As discussed in the previous sections, DoD sponsors a variety of research initiatives to 

understand gender differences in sexual victimization. These research initiatives will

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

9 

inform prevention strategy and help DoD convey a more realistic picture of male sexual 

assault victimization in training programs and communications to Service members. 

Additionally, the Department directed several initiatives to increase outreach to male 

victims and to evaluate prevention programming.

DEPARTMENT RESEARCH EFFORTS

DoD has a solid foundation of data sources to inform policy, training, and 

communication on male victims. The SES and the MJES, which are administered on a 

rolling basis, will provide information on the effectiveness of DoD’s response process for 

male and female victims. 

Both the RMWS and SAGR provide important insights about the different experiences 

of male and female sexual assault victims. Compared to female victims, male victims 

are more likely to associate their assault with abuse and humiliation, often in connection 

with hazing incidents. Furthermore, sexual victimization of male Service members is 

less likely to involve alcohol and more likely to occur in the workplace, compared to 

sexual victimization of female Service members. In addition, male Service members 

are more likely than female Service members to experience violent or abusive sexual 

assaults when that assault is penetrative. For male and female victims alike, those who 

experience sexual harassment are more likely to experience sexual assault than those 

with no history of sexual harassment. This correlation is particularly strong for male 

victims of sexual assault.

One of the primary conclusions coming from the RMWS is that many men may perceive 

and experience sexual assault differently than most women. Men’s experiences with 

sexual assault were not fully understood until the RMWS asked about them using 

specific language and behaviors derived from military law. The results of the RMWS

indicated that although many men experienced oral and anal penetration, they do not 

necessarily perceive these acts as “sexual.” Instead, many of these acts are consistent 

with hazing and meant to humiliate the victim rather than to stimulate the alleged

offender. Men in these circumstances may see little need for help from a “sexual 

assault” program or a “victim advocate,” because they may perceive these behaviors as

non-sexual misconduct. This understanding may require DoD to examine its sexual 

assault prevention and response system to determine if corresponding program and 

policy modifications lead to greater reporting by men.

The results of Department-sponsored survey efforts suggest several avenues for 

improvement of SAPR strategies. DoD can expand awareness of male sexual assault 

victimization by communicating that hazing and bullying experiences can constitute a 

sexual assault crime under the UCMJ. Although male Service members account for the 

majority of the survey-estimated victims of sexual assault, a greater proportion of female 

victims report their assault (about 43% of women versus about 10% of men in FY 2014). 

By broadening Service members’ understanding of sexual assault and emphasizing that 

sexual assaults do not necessarily center on sexual gratification of the alleged 

perpetrator(s), male Service members will be better equipped to recognize and report 

sexual assault crimes when they occur. Furthermore, greater awareness about male

ANNUAL REPORT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY

10

victimization among leadership and SAPR first responders may help to improve the 

response process for male victims who do report.

This new knowledge about gender differences in sexual assault experiences can inform 

prevention strategy and training. Hazing and bullying may be a key area of focus with 

respect to prevention. Additionally, given that sexual assault victimization is often 

associated with sexual harassment and gender discrimination, prevention efforts should 

center on eliminating a broad range of gender-based sexual maltreatment. 

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE INITIATIVES

In May 2014, the Secretary of Defense at the time directed the Secretaries of the 

Military Departments to take steps to improve reporting and encourage male victims to 

seek assistance, to include a request that the Secretaries solicit male victim input in the 

development of these methods. The Services have since acted on this directive and in 

January 2015, each of the Services provided their implementation plans to DoD. DoD is 

currently consolidating the submitted plans for review by Secretary Carter. Overall, all 

four Services resolved to increase the extent to which their prevention, education, and 

victim outreach efforts include information about male victims of sexual assault.

In December 2014, the Secretaries of the Military Departments were directed to 

implement the Installation Prevention Project (IPP) to advance DoD’s understanding of 

successful intervention policies. The IPP will track prevention programming across 

select installations. This effort will help to identify promising practices for sexual assault 

prevention and allow the DoD to evaluate its prevention efforts.23

CONCLUSION 

DoD is committed to a SAPR program that addresses the needs of all victims of sexual 

assault. New DoD research this year revealed the commonalities, as well as the 

differences, between the experiences of male and female victims. As the GAO 

recommends, DoD will continue to use data to inform policy, provide treatments that 

address specific victim needs, and develop new and innovative strategies to prevent 

and communicate the full range of sexual assault experiences.

 

23 The Public Health Model uses four-steps to address problems like sexual violence. Step 3 involves 

developing and testing prevention strategies. This approach is known as “evidence-based program 

planning,” and ensures that prevention strategies are rigorously evaluated to determine effectiveness.

APPENDIX F: SAFE HELPLINE REFERRAL AND 

SATISFACTION DATA

To provide appropriate referrals to survivors, Safe Helpline maintains a robust referral 

database. The database includes information for each Service’s SARCs, military police, 

legal personnel (e.g., JAG and SVC/VLC), medical and mental health providers, and 

chaplains. It also contains referral information for civilian affiliate sexual assault service 

providers and the Department of Veterans Affairs) resources. FY 2014 referral 

information is provided in Figure 1. Percentages displayed in the graph add up to over 

100%, because more than one referral can be made in a session. This helps to 

illustrate the variety of referrals, as well as the importance that SARCs and other military 

support staff play in providing services to Safe Helpline users. 

Figure 1: Referrals type provided by Safe Helpline personnel

At the conclusion of an Safe Helpline call/session, users have the opportunity to provide 

feedback about the Safe Helpline service using a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 

(strongly agree). Telephone helpline users provide feedback through an interactive 

voice response (IVR) system, while online users fill out a short form. While user 

demands for Safe Helpline services increased in FY 2014, user satisfaction ratings 

remained high.

Average feedback ratings are consistently over 4.0 on scale from 1 (strongly disagree) 

to 5 (strongly agree). As shown in Figure 2, most users find Safe Helpline easy to use,

Executive Summary

The following Executive Summary Template should be used to capture a 

summary of your submission regarding the progress made and principal 

challenges confronted by your Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR)

program from October 2013 through September 2014. This overview should 

include but not be limited to information such as:

• Authorizing regulations and/or instructions and dates of publication.

• General organizational structure of your SAPR program and personnel 

(e.g., Brigade, Installation, Regional, and/or Major Command Sexual 

Assault Response Coordinator [SARC] and SAPR Victim Advocate [VA] 

structure, mid-level program management [if any], and program 

management) as well as a brief description of how this structure changes 

in deployed and joint environments.

• Other personnel involved and their respective roles in your SAPR program.

 American Soldiers are bound by common values that demand respect for each 

other. In this context, Soldiers who commit the crime of sexual assault, or fail to 

intervene and stop an assault, violate the trust of their fellow Soldiers. The Secretary 

and Chief of Staff have made clear to the entire force that preventing sexual assault is a 

top priority in the Army. The overwhelming majority of Soldiers 

serve honorably and capably, meeting the standards embodied 

in the Army Values. However, the actions of a few are 

absolutely unacceptable and jeopardize the trust and 

confidence the American people have in their Army. 

 The Army’s efforts to ensure it retains the trust and 

confidence of the Nation are embedded in an overarching 

program that combines initiatives related to preventing and 

responding to sexual assault and sexual harassment. This 

program, Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention

(SHARP), operationalizes its efforts throughout the Army using a prevention strategy 

called the “I. A.M. Strong” Campaign, which stands for Intervene, Act and Motivate. 

This report details initiatives, programs and policies that constitute the Army’s SHARP 

Program, while also demonstrating the progress the Army has made in preventing and 

responding to the crime of sexual assault.

 Since its inception in 2009, the Army’s SHARP Program focused its efforts on five 

specific priorities or Lines of Effort (LOE):

LOE 1 - Prevention of sexual assault.

LOE 2 - Competent and sensitive investigations of sexual assault.

LOE 3 - Accountability for the perpetrators of sexual assault.

LOE 4 - Assistance to, and advocacy for, victims of sexual assault.

LOE 5 - Effective assessment of SHARP programs.

“You can succeed from 

this day forward in 

virtually every aspect of 

your military career, but 

if you fail at this, and 

that is leading on the 

issue of sexual assault, 

you’ve failed the Army.” 

– Secretary of the Army, 

John M. McHugh

1
 These five LOE mirror those found in the Department of Defense (DoD) Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan and are formally expressed in the 

Army’s 2014 SHARP Campaign Plan. The Secretary has signed ten directives to 

implement policies to address these LOE. The Secretary and the Chief of Staff have 

also hosted annual leader summits to communicate these LOE and to emphasize the 

importance of sexual assault prevention and response; requiring all Commanding 

Generals and Command Sergeant Majors to attend these events. The Chief of Staff 

repeatedly reminds Army leaders that “combating sexual harassment and sexual 

assault is our primary mission.”

 In addressing LOE 1 (Prevention), the Army has continually revised policies, training 

and engagement strategies that address sexual assault. SHARP training is required for 

all Soldiers and is fully integrated into Future Soldier Training for new recruits, Initial 

Entry Training (IET) for new Soldiers and at each level of Professional Military 

Education (PME) for officers and non-commissioned officers (NCO). In 2014, the Army 

completed a multi-year process to revise all PME courses to update and improve their 

corresponding SHARP training. In addition, annually required unit-level SHARP training 

is now complemented by a highly-regarded, interactive presentation designed to 

educate Soldiers about the importance of active bystander intervention. The Secretary 

also mandated suitability checks for more than 20,000 drill sergeants, recruiters, Sexual 

Assault Response Coordinators (SARC), Victim Advocates (VA) and other “positions of 

trust” to ensure that only the best-qualified and most suitable individuals serve in these 

important positions. 

 The Army has addressed LOE 2 (Investigation) by improving processes and 

thoroughness of sexual assault investigations. The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation 

Command (CID) has joined with prosecutors, Victim Witness Liaisons (VWLs), SARCs, 

VAs and other sexual assault responders to form Special Victim Capability teams at 

more than 70 Army installations. These teams are trained in the unique aspects of 

investigating and prosecuting sexual assault cases, including the need to ensure that 

victims are referred to the appropriate agencies for comprehensive care. In further 

support of the Army’s emphasis on this priority, the U.S. Army Military Police School

(USAMPS), recognized by DoD as a “Best Practice” in sexual assault investigative 

training, has substantially revised its curriculum while greatly increasing the number of 

agents certified. USMAPS has also developed a number of innovative investigative 

techniques, including the Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview (FETI), which has 

increased victim cooperation with the accountability process and thereby enhanced

prosecutions. 

 The cornerstone of the Army’s efforts in LOE 3 (Accountability) is the Special Victim 

Prosecutor (SVP) program. SVPs are selected for their courtroom expertise and also 

for their ability to sensitively work with victims of sexual assault. SVPs complete a 

specially-designed, intensive training course, and oversee or assist in the prosecution of 

every sexual assault case in the Army. Since 2009, the Army has seen an increase of 

more than 100% in the proportion of sexual assault cases that result in prosecutions 

and convictions. At the same time, the Army also observed a substantial decrease in 

the portion of founded cases in which command action is not possible (for example, 

because the victim will not participate in the prosecution, there is insufficient admissible 

evidence to proceed or the statute of limitations has expired). Equally notable for this 

2
LOE: the Army began a program of providing victims with Special Victims Counsel

(SVC) in FY14. The SVC represents the victim throughout the investigation and 

accountability process, with the primary duty to represent the express interests of the 

victim. The Army maintains approximately 78 specially trained judge advocates serving 

as SVCs in the Active Component; 75 in the Army Reserve and 47 in the Army National 

Guard. By the end of FY14, SVCs served more than 1,700 client victims, conducted 

approximately 8,000 consultations with clients and attended more than 360 courtsmartial. 

 The Army remains dedicated to victim care and response through LOE 4 

(Advocacy). In 2014, the Chief of Staff directed the development of a centralized 

SHARP Academy to expand the knowledge and skills of SARCs and VAs. To date, the 

SHARP Academy hosted nine courses, training more than 200 personnel on their 

responsibilities within the program and validating a 

comprehensive curriculum that includes enhanced human 

relations, interpersonal communication and leadership 

training. The Army also ensures that victims of sexual 

assault receive quality medical care. Since 2012, the U.S. 

Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) has trained more than 

100 Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examiners (SAMFE) 

annually. Reconstituted and improved in 2014, a Sexual 

Assault Medical Management Office in every Military 

Treatment Facility (MTF) optimizes coordination of sexual 

assault cases and consists of a medical director, a Sexual 

Assault Care Coordinator (SACC), a Sexual Assault Clinical 

Provider (SACP), the Sexual Assault Behavioral Health provider and all SAMFE. Since 

2014, MEDCOM also provides at least one Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) at 

every MTF with a 24/7 emergency room.

 The objective of LOE 5 (Assessment) is to measure, analyze and assess the 

effectiveness of the Army’s efforts throughout all LOE. To address this, the Army 

actively conducts command inspections and collects multiple types of data including 

Soldier focus groups and surveys as well as examining the efficacy of SHARP training. 

In 2013, the Army added research and analysis experts to the SHARP Program Office 

to assist in expanding and focusing SHARP assessments. In addition, the Army now 

provides data from the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID) on a 

monthly basis to commands and installations, helping commanders to more thoroughly 

assess the effectiveness of their response efforts. 

 Signs of real and lasting progress in the Army SHARP Program continue to emerge. 

One indicator of this progress is the dramatic increase in reports of sexual assault since 

the second half of FY13. At the time, the 3rd and 4th Quarters of FY13 were the two 

highest reporting quarters of sexual assault since the Army began tracking such data in 

2004. FY14 has seen more reported cases than any previous year. The Army believes 

this increase in the number of reports of sexual assault reflects increased awareness 

and reporting, and, consistent with the findings of the 2014 RAND Military Workplace 

Study, does not result from an increase in the number of sexual assault incidents. The 

unprecedented priority placed on sexual assault prevention and response by Army 

leaders since 2012 appears to have resulted in increasing victim confidence in the 

“We will shape Army 

culture based on values, 

standards and discipline... 

and ultimately win our 

campaign...“

“Combating sexual assault 

and sexual harassment is 

our primary mission.”

– General Raymond T. 

Odierno, Chief of Staff

system. Data from the most recent Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute 

(DEOMI) Organizational Climate Survey seem to support this belief, as 90% of the 

367,000 Soldiers surveyed indicated they favorably view their units’ reporting climate 

and chain of command support for victims. In spite of this progress, sexual assault 

remains an under-reported crime and the Army continues to improve reporting climates.

 Positive indicators of progress are a credit to committed Army leadership and the 

sustained resourcing of prevention, training and response efforts. However, the Army 

recognizes there is more work to do. The Army will continue 

to work to improve processes to prevent sexual assaults and, 

when a sexual assault does occur, take strong steps to 

address the crime and treat victims with dignity, respect and 

professionalism. Recent high-profile cases demonstrate the 

Army’s commitment to strong and compassionate response to 

sexual assault. While these cases may be very troubling, in 

each of them the Army fully investigated the alleged 

misconduct, followed every lead wherever it led, provided 

support to victims, and took available and appropriate action to 

hold all individuals accountable. 

Guiding the Army’s efforts going forward is the comprehensive Army SHARP Program 

Campaign Plan, which provides structure and focus for the Army to achieve cultural 

change and thereby reduce, with the goal to eliminate, sexual assault and sexual 

harassment. The following sections of this report provide a review of the Army’s efforts, 

by LOE.

____________________________________________________________________ 

 The authorizing policy for the Army’s SHARP Program is Chapter 8 of Army 

Regulation (AR) 600-20, Army Command Policy. The Assistant Secretary of the Army 

for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (ASA M&RA) supervises the Army’s SHARP 

Program, while the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1 (through the Army SHARP Program 

Office) is responsible for program implementation and assessment. 

 As the SHARP Program is a command responsibility, commanders are required to: 

establish a command climate that prevents the crime of sexual assault; treat all 

allegations of sexual assault seriously and ensure investigations occur; treat victims 

with dignity and respect; and take appropriate action against offenders. Significant 

elements of the current Army program include:

• Senior commanders (at installations and in deployed locations) have overall 

responsibility for SHARP Program implementation and execution. As a critical 

element of their program execution, these leaders (or their deputy/representative) 

conduct required monthly Sexual Assault Review Boards (SARB). The SARB 

provides executive oversight, procedural guidance and feedback concerning local 

program implementation and case management. 

• Command Program Managers are Soldiers (or civilians assigned to military units) 

who assist commanders in executing their SHARP Program and integrating 

sexual assault response efforts (legal, law enforcement, chaplain and medical) 

above the brigade level. 

“One sexual assault in 

the Army is one too 

many. We are held to a 

very high standard by 

the American people. 

But just as important, we 

have to have that trust 

between one another.” 

– Sergeant Major of the 

Army, Raymond F. 

Chandler III

• SARCs and VAs support commanders in implementing the SHARP program. 

These SARCs and VAs are available 24 hours a day/7 days a week to interact 

directly with victims of sexual assault and other response agencies. 

- SARCs and VAs provide support and advocacy services in garrison and 

deployed environments.

- Active Component and Army Reserve brigade level units have one fulltime SARC and one full-time VA. The Army National Guard has a 

collateral duty SARC and VA at each brigade level unit and a full time 

SARC and VA for each State/Territory.

- Currently, Army policy also requires two VAs be appointed, as a collateral 

duty, for each battalion sized unit. The draft revision to this policy 

changes the requirement to one battalion level collateral duty SARC and 

one collateral duty VA.

- Publishing a SHARP Campaign Plan to provide structure and focus for the 

Army’s efforts to achieve cultural change.

- Establishing the SHARP Academy to enhance the knowledge and skills of 

SARCs and VAs.

- Creating the SHARP Resource Center as a “one-stop shop” to coordinate 

and support all SHARP Program services on an Army installation.

- Introducing “Got Your Back” bystander intervention training to Army-wide 

audiences.

- Conducting the 7th Annual SHARP Summit featuring senior Army leaders 

and subject matter experts. 

• Part 2 (Statistical Report) contains data and analysis of the 2,199 Unrestricted 

Reports and the 407 Restricted Reports of sexual assault which were reported in 

the Army during FY14. Part 2 also contains a brief profile and synopsis of each 

sexual assault case in which there was disposition decision in FY14.

1. Line of Effort (LOE) 1—Prevention—The objective of prevention is to “deliver 

consistent and effective prevention methods and programs.”

1.1. Summarize your efforts to achieve the Prevention Endstate: “cultural 

imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional values and team 

commitment are reinforced to create an environment where sexual assault or 

sexual harassment is not tolerated, condoned or ignored.” 

 Prevention is a leadership mission, supported greatly by training and education. The 

Army requires leaders to establish a positive climate that supports Soldier safety, 

emphasizes Army Values and encourages candor and trust throughout their 

organizations. The Army trains Soldiers to recognize the signs of distress and 

misconduct and then trust in their leaders to take appropriate action when they bring 

concerns forward. Successful prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault 

requires that all Soldiers and leaders understand expected standards of conduct; hold 

each other accountable for violations of those standards and work together to build a 

unit climate of dignity, respect and sensitivity to others.

 The Army’s efforts to achieve the Prevention Endstate during FY14 remained focused 

on the sustained roll-out of the Army’s Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy. The 

cornerstone of the prevention strategy is the “I. A.M. Strong” Campaign where the letters 

I. A. M. stand for Intervene – Act – Motivate. The purpose of “I. A.M. Strong” is to 

encourage Soldiers to take action to prevent sexual assault and to actively foster 

respectful treatment of others. Accordingly, leaders at all levels are charged to facilitate 

this prevention strategy by establishing positive climates in which incidents of sexual 

assaults rarely occur, but when they do, victims come forward with confidence that there 

will be appropriate action and world-class services.

 The Secretary, the Chief of Staff and the Sergeant Major of the Army continue to 

emphasize culture change to eliminate sexual harassment and sexual assault from our 

ranks. On January 28th and 29th of 2014, the Secretary and the Chief of Staff hosted the 

7th Annual SHARP Summit. The Summit serves as a forum for the cross flow of 

information and ideas for achieving cultural change, and as a vehicle for the Army-wide 

promulgation of best practices and lessons learned. Attendees included 2, 3 and 4-Star 

Commanders and Command Sergeants Major (CSM); select Brigade and Battalion 

Command Teams; Army Staff principals and national advocacy group subject matter 

experts (SME). Leader and SME panels during the Summit facilitated the exchange of 

lessons learned/best practices and the opportunity for Commanders and CSMs to 

explain how they are addressing cultural change, strengthening trust and supporting 

victims. 

1.2. Describe your progress in enhancing and integrating SAPR Professional 

Military Education in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 requirements. 

 SHARP training is fully integrated into all levels of Army PME for Soldiers, NCOs and 

officers. The Army first introduced SAPR (now SHARP) training in 2006 by requiring 

annual unit training and subsequently embedding it in all levels of PME from IET to the 

Army War College. The Army continued to improve its SHARP training, which now 

complies with the core competencies and learning objectives developed by the DoD 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), in collaboration with the 

6
Services. 

 During the Basic Combat Training (BCT) portion of IET. Soldiers now receive a onehour introductory course on SHARP policy and resources during their first two weeks of 

BCT and are introduced to the “Sex Rules” messaging targeted for new recruits (“Sex 

Rules - Follow Them”). This set of ten “Sex Rules” break down the elements of sexual 

harassment and sexual assault and define them in simple, relatable terms. By linking 

each rule to an Army Value, the scenario-based training helps establish the social 

behavior expected of all Soldiers.

 Later in BCT, two additional hours of SHARP training help Soldiers learn about their 

responsibilities to take action using several interactive vignettes during the very wellreceived production of “Sex Signals.” This 90-minute, live, two-person, audience 

interactive program contains skits dealing with topics ranging from dating and consent, to

rape and other topics such as body language, alcohol use and intervention. 

 The U.S. Army Cadet Command (USACC), in coordination with the Army SHARP 

Program Office, assessed and revised all Basic Officer Leader Course-Accessions 

(BOLC-A) SHARP training for cadets in Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). 

BOLC-A training consists of leader-facilitated training supplemented by web-based 

training. The facilitated training focuses on the Army SHARP Program, survivor 

testimonials, prevention methods (bystander intervention, establishing personal 

boundaries, etc.) and victim support services. The web-based self-study training 

provides integrated and gender-separated training models designed in a peer-to-peer 

influence model. BOLC-A training also incorporates “Sex Rules” and “Sex Signals” and 

defines the Army's sexual assault policy as it relates to the Army Values, Warrior Ethos 

and Soldier's Creed. Using realistic situations, the training also focuses on reporting, 

prevention, victim's rights and resources for survivors. 

 Within the first week of arrival at the United States Military Academy (USMA), new 

cadets are taught the basic tenets of sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention. 

They are verbally quizzed by their chain of command and receive two additional onehour sessions on SHARP during their six-week basic training, using the BOLC-A 

curriculum. Since 2013, USMA includes sexual harassment and sexual assault topics as 

part of the core academic coursework across the 47-month cadet experience. 

 SHARP training for new Lieutenants is taught in BOLC-B and focuses on interpreting 

the Army's SHARP Program prevention strategy and applying sexual harassment 

response techniques to prevent potential sexual assaults. SHARP training in BOLC-B 

incorporates "Sex Signals" and tailored “Sex Rules” training and includes a pocket guide 

with scenarios where the new officer is able to apply leader decision-making in response 

to different sexual harassment and sexual assault situations. 

 Training for senior leaders occurs at the Battalion and Brigade Pre-Command Course 

(PCC), the Sergeants Major Academy and the Army War College. The focus for the 

training is to enable leaders to identify prevention measures and create an 

organizational climate that prevents sexual harassment and sexual assault. 

 The Army includes SHARP training in the Drill Sergeant School, the Company 

Commander/First Sergeants Course, the Intermediate Level Education course for Majors 

and the remaining NCO PME curriculum: 

7
• Warrior Leader Course for Junior NCOs.

• Advanced Leader Course for Staff Sergeants.

• Senior Leader Course for Sergeants First Class. 

• Sergeants Major Academy.

 Training in the Captains Career Course focuses on Company Commanders’ roles 

and responsibilities and their ability to foster a climate of prevention. The Officer 

Candidate School training focuses on new leader responsibilities that support the Army’s 

SHARP Program, including a description of the sexual harassment and sexual assault 

prevention strategy. The Warrant Officer Basic Course, Warrant Officer Staff Course, 

Warrant Officer Advanced Course and the Warrant Officer Senior Staff College also 

contain revised SHARP training. 

 While revisions and refinements will continue, the full integration of SHARP core 

competencies and learning objectives into all echelons of Army PME is complete. In 

addition, based on an assessment of Army Pre-Command and Senior Enlisted SHARP 

training, the Army expanded mandatory first responder training from Brigade and 

Battalion level to the Company level. 

1.3. Describe your progress in implementing core competencies and learning 

objectives for all SAPR training to ensure consistency throughout the military. If 

already implemented, describe how you are monitoring and assessing outcomes. 

 The Army worked extensively as part of the DoD SAPRO Working Group to develop 

the core competencies and learning objectives for Army SHARP training. These 

competencies and learning objectives are fully implemented in Army PME, PreCommand and Senior Enlisted training.

 In FY14, the Army finalized implementation of SHARP training across each cohort of 

PME (officer, warrant officer and enlisted). At that time, the Army updated Training 

Support Packages (TSP) to include scenario-based, interactive modules focused on the 

real world challenges of combating sexual harassment and assault. This integration of 

SHARP training into every level of PME ensures Soldiers and leaders receive training 

that is appropriate to their new roles and increased responsibilities.

 Additionally, the Army updated its mandatory annual SHARP Unit Refresher Training 

(URT) for both Soldiers and Civilians, incorporating more scenarios for Civilians. 

1.4. Describe your progress in ensuring commanders receive training on sexual 

assault prevention and response during pre-command courses. 

 The Army revised and implemented SHARP training for the Battalion and Brigade PreCommand Course in FY12. During FY14, DoD SAPRO observed and assessed the 

SHARP Pre-Command training for compliance using the DoD SAPR training standards 

contained in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6495.02. DoD SAPRO observed several strengths 

and provided input on opportunities for improvement:

• The course length (3.5 hours) exceeded the 2-hour requirement. 

• More than 50% of the course instruction incorporated Adult Learning Techniques.

• 15 out of the 20 DoD learning objectives were observed and fully addressed.

 Also, most of the Army’s major subordinate commands conduct their own (additional) 

8
Battalion/Brigade Pre-Command training, at the installation or command level, which 

includes a review of the reporting options, commanders’ roles and responsibilities and 

the expedited transfer or reassignment of victims of sexual assault. 

 SHARP training is also incorporated into the Company Commander/First Sergeant 

Course. This one-week course, conducted at the installation level, is a requirement for 

all Company Commanders and First Sergeants prior to assuming command. 

 To bolster Service-wide efforts aimed at reducing the experience of social retaliation 

associated with the reporting of sexual assault, the Secretary of Defense directed the 

Secretaries of the Military Departments to provide commanders with additional special 

interest training from the Judge Advocate General’s Corps. This training will focus on 

social media misconduct and the authorities that commanders have under the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to address this issue. The Army is integrating the

training into General Officer Legal Orientation (GOLO), Senior Officer Legal Orientation 

(SOLO), Pre-Command Course (PCC) and Company Commander/First Sergeant 

Course. 

1.5. Describe your progress in incorporating specific SAPR monitoring, 

measures, and education into readiness and safety forums (e.g., quarterly training 

guidance, unit status reports, safety briefings). 

 In addition to the Army’s significant improvements to sexual assault prevention 

training and education in PME, the Army introduced new unit training in FY14. This 

interactive training, titled “Got Your Back,” augments annual URT and is a dynamic, 90-

minute facilitated interactive lecture created by Catharsis Productions, the creator of 

“Sex Signals.” To date, the Army conducted more than 2,000 separate training events, 

which received very positive feedback. “Got Your Back” is conducted Army-wide for 

audiences of up to 350 personnel. One male and one female who are specially trained 

in the subjects of sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention and response 

conduct the training. Key training goals of “Got Your Back” include:

• Language Exercise:

- Make connections between objectifying language, violent crime and bystander 

intervention.

- Make connections between objectification, dehumanization and consent.

- Understand the continuum of harm, making connections between sexual 

harassment and sexist language demonstrating how those behaviors permit 

an inappropriate and unacceptable climate.

• Cycle of Non-Stranger Rape:

- Examine the perpetrator’s modus operandi.

- Understand how to identify a potential perpetrator in order to set in motion 

bystander intervention learning.

- Explore the points in the cycle of non-stranger rape that a bystander can be 

activated to intervene in a way that is safest for all parties. 

• Bystander Intervention Discussion and Activities: 

- Recognize barriers to intervention and how to overcome them.

9
- Use scenarios to build participants skills in intervening. 

- Participants leave armed with resources, practical intervention tools and the 

confidence to intervene in risky sexual situations. 

 In accordance with AR 350-1 (Army Training and Leader Development) and AR 600-

20 (Army Command Policy), commanders must conduct and report their unit’s SHARP 

training. SHARP URT is a command inspection item which is required annually, pre/post 

deployment and during in-processing.

 Units throughout the Army proactively make SHARP a priority. For example:

• Monthly SARBs provide the means for all installation Senior Commanders to 

review policies, incidents and high-risk behaviors at the installation level and 

identify trends/corrective actions. 

• In U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), the Army’s largest command,

SHARP personnel closely coordinate and collaborate with unit Ready and Resilient 

(R2) Program representatives and Health Promotion Officers to monitor and 

measure sexual assault holistically and incorporate SHARP topics into other 

training and safety forums. 

• U.S. Army Pacific Command (USARPAC), another of the Army’s largest 

commands, requires monthly reports from all subordinate commands in order to 

monitor the status of SHARP personnel manning, track annual URT, audit Safe 

Helpline phone numbers and review expedited transfer status. 

 Command climate and other surveys are key components in measuring progress in 

LOE 1 (Prevention). Results of the 2014 Military Workplace Study and the FY14 DEOMI

Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) indicate positive trends with a decrease in the 

prevalence of sexual assault and improved chain of command support for victims. 

1.6 Describe your progress in exploring expansion of SAPR training to include 

Recruit Sustainment Programs, Student Flight Programs, and for National Guard 

prior to arrival at Basic Training. 

 The U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) continues to develop a SHARP

training tool for potential and new recruits. The training, to be offered at recruiting 

stations, is 45-60 minutes in length and includes a pre-test to check knowledge of sexual 

harassment and sexual assault, followed by a block of instruction and a post-test to 

check on learning. Topics for the training include:

• The definition of sexual assault.

• The effects/risks of alcohol use.

• How to recognize sexual aggression

• Escape tactics during physically threatening situations.

• The nature of consent and the differences between consensual sex and 

rape/sexual assault.

• How to intervene in potentially dangerous situations.

• What to do if a sexual assault occurs.

• How Army Values relate to the issue of sexual assault and sexual harassment. 

10
 The Army also offers distance learning SHARP training for Advanced and Senior 

ROTC students as part of BOLC-A in more than 270 colleges and universities and for 

cadets at USMA. 

1.7. Describe your efforts to establish and implement policies that prevent 

individuals convicted of a Federal or State offense of rape, sexual abuse, sexual 

assault, incest or other sexual offenses, from being provided a waiver for 

commissioning or enlistment in the Armed Forces. 

 AR 601-210 (Active and Reserve Components Enlistment Program) and AR 601-100 

(Appointment of Commissioned and Warrant Officers in the Regular Army) establish 

felony conviction for a sexual offense as a non-waiverable disqualification for enlistment 

or commissioning.

 Also, within 90 days after signing a contract, each ROTC cadet receives a 

background check. A cadet is removed from the ROTC program under a breach of 

contract for failure to disclose information considered disqualifying for commissioning.

1.8. Describe progress in establishing a transition policy that ensures Service 

member sponsorship, unit integration and immediate assignment into a chain of 

command. If already established, describe findings and recommendations.

 AR 600-8-8 (The Total Army Sponsorship Program) contains sponsorship 

requirements and responsibilities, including guidance on the assignment of same-gender 

sponsors for first-term Soldiers. In FY14, the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for 

Installation Management (ACSIM), initiated several measures to ensure appropriate

sponsorship for Soldiers: 

• Established a Total Army Sponsorship Program (TASP) working group to 

determine required sponsorship policy changes.

• Conducted a 180-day pilot "No Sponsor, No Orders," making sponsors available to 

Soldiers and their families for 90+ days to ensure successful integration into the 

unit and community.

• Selected Army Career Tracker (ACT) as the enterprise automation system for 

Army sponsorship and conducted a 90-day pilot to test the effectiveness of ACT 

procedures. Once implemented, ACT will provide necessary checks at every step 

of the Permanent Change of Station (PCS) process, ensuring sponsor assignment 

and contact with the Soldier. 

• Developed interactive sponsorship training based on the Army Community Service

(ACS) sponsorship training modules. 

 Across the Army, Soldiers attend a newcomer’s orientation upon arrival at new 

location. During this orientation, Soldiers receive a briefing, usually from a SARC or VA, 

regarding the local SHARP Program and points of contact. 

1.9. Describe your progress in ensuring commanders conduct an organizational 

climate assessment within 120 days of assuming command and annually 

thereafter. Include policy for providing results to the next level in the chain of 

command.

 In accordance with the Chief of Staff’s guidance, the Army revised AR 600-20 to 

require company commanders to conduct climate surveys within 30 days (120 days for 

11
Army National Guard and Army Reserve) of assuming command, again at six months 

and annually thereafter. 

 Additionally, Army Directive 2013-29 (Army Command Climate Assessments), 

approved in December, 2013 (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2013_29.pdf) requires:

• All Active Army commanders above the company level, and all Reserve 

Component commanders regardless of echelon, to conduct an initial command 

climate assessment within 60 days of assuming command (120 days for Reserve 

Component), followed by an assessment twelve months after assuming 

command and annually thereafter while retaining command. 

• All commanders to complete a command climate assessment within six months of 

the date of this new Army Directive, regardless of when assuming command. 

The results of this Army-wide baseline assessment will be analyzed, and as 

appropriate, produce recommendations for improvements to the survey tools or 

related policy.

• Any unit with fewer than 30 personnel to conduct its command climate 

assessments with a larger unit, in order to promote anonymity. 

• Results and analysis of command climate assessments to be reported to the next 

higher commander no later than 30 days after completing the assessments for 

review and development of an action plan to address concerns.

 Army commands use Staff Assistance Visits (SAV) and Command Inspection 

Programs (CIP) to verify compliance.

1.10. Describe your progress in establishing a clear policy to reduce the impact of 

high-risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities to sexual assaults and other 

crimes against persons (e.g., alcohol consumption, barracks visitation, transition 

policy). Include efforts to collaborate with law enforcement, alcohol and 

substance abuse officers, and etc.

 Army policies regarding the use and abuse of alcohol are found in AR 600-85 (The 

Army Substance Abuse Program) and AR 215-1 (Military Morale, Welfare and 

Recreation Programs and Non-appropriated Fund Instrumentalities). Additionally, some 

installations and commands have adopted more stringent local policies regarding 

alcohol. For example, some units limit the amount of alcohol Soldiers may have in the 

barracks. 

 To assist leaders in building and maintaining resilience within our Soldiers, the Army 

developed “Strong Choices,” a standardized four-hour substance abuse prevention 

training package. In addition, the Army’s Confidential Alcohol Treatment and Education 

Pilot Program (CATEP) allows Soldiers to confidentially refer themselves for treatment 

without command notification if they meet eligibility requirements. 

 For deployed units, alcohol consumption is banned in many areas under General 

Order #1. In a few deployed areas, alcohol is available in limited quantities and only in 

supervised locations, not in living quarters. 

 In most commands, visitors are allowed in the barracks but are not permitted to spend 

the night. Cohabitation is strictly forbidden. Some commands have installed closed 

circuit televisions and self-locking doors in the barracks.

12
 The Army does not allow Initial Military Training (IMT) Soldiers to have overnight 

passes and are not allowed to consume alcohol at anytime. Male IMT Soldiers are not 

authorized in female rooms and vice-versa. Cameras are situated to view common 

areas. 

Other command initiatives include:

• In FORSCOM, the SHARP Program coordinates closely with the Army Substance 

Abuse Program (ASAP) and the Family Advocacy Program (FAP) to facilitate 

identification and mitigation of high-risk behaviors. 

• Throughout INSCOM, first line supervisors conduct Soldier/Leader risk 

assessments monthly. New Soldiers (first 90 days) are required to sign in/out of 

the unit and have a Battle Buddy accompany them outside. 

• Units in USARPAC increased leader presence at the Barracks, especially during 

weekends. Some commands enforced curfews and limited alcohol sales from onpost facilities. 

• At USMA, cadets asserted that they wanted to be part of the solution to 

inappropriate behavior and wanted to assist with the education of their peers. In 

January, 2014, cadet leaders finalized the charter for the Cadets Against Sexual 

Harassment and Assault Program (CASH/A). All cadet companies now have at 

least one trained CASH/A representative. Additionally, USMA has a “Positive 

Consent Campaign” in which cadets developed tenets that focus on positive 

consent in an intimate relationship. Tenets include: Don’t listen for “No,” ask for 

“Yes;” Lack of No ≠ Yes; Relationship ≠ Yes; Prior Consent ≠ Yes. 

1.11. Describe your progress in implementing the 2014 Department of Defense 

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy. 

 On September 27, 2013, the Secretary signed Army Directive 2013-20 (Assessing 

Officers and Noncommissioned Officers on Fostering Climates of Dignity and Respect 

and on Adhering to the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program). 

This directive (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2013_20.pdf) enhances the Evaluation 

Reporting System to assess how officers and NCOs are meeting their commitments to 

prevent sexual harassment and assault and to foster climates of dignity and respect in 

their units. The intent of these changes, now required by AR 623-3, Evaluation 

Reporting System (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r623_3.pdf), is to strengthen leader 

accountability for creating positive command climates by ensuring leaders take action to 

address behaviors and attitudes that may lead to sex offenses. 

 Results from the 2014 DEOCS indicate the prevention climate in Army units is 

positive. Reporting and intervention metrics indicate high levels of confidence in the 

SHARP Program. Soldiers surveyed indicated they would most likely intervene when 

presented with a hypothetical sexual assault scenario. 

• 89% of DEOCS participants responded that their chain of command encouraged 

bystander intervention to a moderate or great extent. 

• 92% of DEOCS respondents reported that they would take an intervening action if 

they witnessed a situation that might lead to sexual assault. 

• Of the 4% of individuals who said they had observed a high risk situation, 87% 

indicated that they took some action. 

13
These results indicate that Soldiers are aware of potential risks and, when confronted 

with a situation, take action to prevent incidents.

 Other DEOCS metrics reflect that the reporting climate across the Army is positive

and encouraging. Furthermore, almost 90% of DEOCS respondents indicated that their 

unit leadership promoted healthy command climates.

• 78% of respondents felt their chain of command promoted a unit climate based on 

"respect and trust" to a moderate or great extent.

• 88% said their chain of command refrained from sexist comments and behaviors to 

a moderate or great extent.

• 88% believed their chain of command actively discouraged sexist comments and 

behaviors.

• 91% responded that their chain of command encouraged victims to report sexual 

assault to a moderate or great extent.

• 90% of Soldiers indicated their chain of command created an environment where 

victims feel comfortable reporting sexual assault to a moderate or great extent.

The Army monitors these reports monthly. Continued high levels of confidence in the 

SHARP Program indicate that our training and prevention efforts are effective.

1.12. Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

 The Army continues to partner with several nationally recognized subject matter 

experts in order to help develop and validate the components of our “I. A.M. Strong” 

Prevention Campaign. These noteworthy experts include:

• Gail Stern, the co-founder of Catharsis Productions. Their program, “Sex Signals,” 

incorporates humor and audience participation to foster greater understanding 

about the nature and impact of interpersonal violence. Sex Signals is used during 

BCT, BOLC-A, BOLC-B (New Lieutenants), USMA, Drill Sergeant School and for 

operational units in a limited capacity.

• Dr. David Lisak, a clinical psychologist whose research focuses on the motives and 

behaviors of rapists, the impact of childhood abuse on adult men and the 

relationship between child abuse and later violence. 

• Anne Munch, an attorney with more than 20 years of experience as a career

associated with sexual assault and sexual harassment in the Army. The intent of the 

study is to determine which issues have training implications and evaluate the current 

approach designed to address these issues.

1.13. Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective prevention 

methods and programs, including how these efforts will help your Service plan, 

resource and make progress in your SAPR program.

The Army’s prevention related plans for FY15 include: 

• Continue hiring (government civilians) and assigning (military) personnel to 

permanently fulfill the requirements of one full-time SARC and one full-time VA in 

brigades or equivalent units. These personnel will help commanders implement 

their unit SHARP Program, to include assessing and maintaining positive 

command climates in which sexual harassment and sexual assault are not 

tolerated. 

• Continue hiring (government civilians) to fill the roles of command SHARP 

trainers. These trainers will have the responsibility of providing instruction and 

serving as facilitators for command selected collateral duty SHARP personnel via 

the SHARP 80-Hour Course. 

• Continue to review PME and Civilian Education System (CES) SHARP training to 

ensure Soldiers and leaders have the skills and knowledge they need to help 

prevent sexual assault. 

• Develop a 90-minute distance learning course for Junior ROTC cadets on sexual 

harassment/assault. The training, similar to new recruit training, will consist of 

sexual assault facts and consequences, reported past and future behaviors and 

Army-related issues/questions.

• In collaboration with TRADOC, the Headquarters, Department of the Army 

(HQDA) SHARP Program Office will deploy innovation and assessment teams to 

identify promising prevention strategies and techniques. 

15
• Collaborate with a variety of promising prevention practitioners and researchers to 

ascertain which prevention policies and programs are most effective, and then 

implement the policies and programs. 

• Implement the SHARP Campaign Plan and continue to work with DoD and the 

Joint Staff to operationalize the LOE set forth in the Strategic Direction to the Joint 

Force on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response.

2. LOE 2—Investigation—The objective of investigation is to “achieve high 

competence in the investigation of sexual assault.”

2.1. Summarize your efforts to achieve the Investigation Endstate: “investigative 

resources yield timely and accurate results.”

 From 2011 to 2014, CID instituted six important changes to investigative policy to 

increase the thoroughness and timeliness of sexual assault investigations. In that same 

time frame, CID also issued 11 operational memorandums to field investigative units 

highlighting important investigative issues requiring increased attention in order to 

ensure a more thorough and complete investigative outcome. CID issued its initial 

Sexual Assault Investigation Handbook in April 2013, providing special agents with a 

comprehensive pamphlet that highlights and reminds agents of critical issues regarding 

sexual assault investigations such as, crime scene processing, victim and suspect 

interviews and points to remember when investigating alcohol facilitated incidents. 

Additionally, CID updated the handbook (CID Pamphlet 195-12) in March, 2014, to 

reflect the most current best practices for investigations. 

 CID’s Inspector General (IG) has made the timely and thorough investigation of 

sexual assaults a matter of special interest during inspections and case reviews at field 

investigative units. Supervisors at all levels of command review all sexual assault 

investigations to ensure they are accurate and thorough. Further, the DoD Inspector 

General (DoDIG) conducted periodic reviews of sexual assault investigations to ensure 

they were completed to standard. All deficiencies, shortcomings or better business 

practices identified by any of the inspections are incorporated into the annual refresher 

training of investigators to improve the conduct of investigations and reinforce the 

importance of sexual assault investigations. 

 The USAMPS Special Victim Unit Investigation Course (SVUIC) training, attended by 

investigators and prosecutors, emphasizes the need for early and frequent coordination 

between investigators and prosecutors to ensure all evidence is collected or considered 

to meet the elements of proof for a crime.

 Enhanced training and emphasis on timely and thorough investigations resulted in 

the overall improvement of sexual assault investigations. The number of significant 

deficiencies found in CID sexual assault investigations in the last completed DoDIG 

inspection was 6.6%, the lowest of any of the Military Services. DoDIG also found that 

93.4% of CID’s investigations had no deficiencies. Although the DoDIG’s current 

inspection of investigations is still on-going, indications thus far are that the significant 

deficiency rate will be even lower this year. CID will continue to advocate for additional 

investigative resources to adequately address the increased number of reported sexual 

assaults.

2.2. Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability for Military 

16
Criminal Investigation Organizations (MCIOs). 

 CID has implemented Special Victim Capability at all of its locations around the world. 

CID has established a set of baseline standards that special agents must meet before 

they can be selected for advanced training in sexual assault investigations. Upon

completion of the advanced sexual assault training through the SVUIC, CID agents are 

certified as meeting the Special Victim Capability requirements and awarded an 

Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) to their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). This ASI

helps track the number of agents trained in this specialty and assists in the assignment 

process to ensure that at least one, if not more, Special Victim Capability agent is at 

each CID office throughout the world, to include deployed environments. 

 At present, approximately half of the CID field agent force has received the advanced 

training in sexual assault investigations. CID agents at all field locations have joined with 

SVPs, VWL officers, SARCs and VAs to form Special Victim Capability at 61 of 63 Army 

installations worldwide. At some locations, newly established SHARP Resource Centers 

facilitate team integration and make it easier for victims to report and obtain support at 

these “one-stop” sites.

2.3. Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability case 

assessment protocol for open and closed sexual assault, child abuse and serious 

domestic violence cases. 

 No two criminal cases are alike. Each criminal incident has unique circumstances. 

CID has investigative standards to evaluate the thoroughness and timeliness of 

investigations; however, depending on specific case circumstances, not all investigative 

standards will apply to each and every investigation. Supervisors are required to apply 

the standards to ensure that open cases are being worked in a thorough and timely 

manner. 

 The CID IG reviews open and closed investigations during its biannual inspections of 

all CID field elements, verifies that investigations are conducted in accordance with the 

existing standards and identifies systemic issues that affect compliance with those

standards. The DoDIG inspects closed cases and uses CID’s investigative standards to 

assess compliance with those same standards. The DoDIG identifies deficiency trends 

or patterns in cases, much as the CID IG does. Using the IG assessments, CID 

disseminates training and reinforcement of existing standards to field elements, and in 

some instances, institutes new or revised investigative standards.

2.4. Describe your progress in enhancing training for investigators of sexual 

violence. Include efforts to establish common criteria, core competencies, and 

measures of effectiveness and to leverage training resources and expertise. 

 USAMPS established the “DoD Best Practice” for sexual assault investigation 

training. The first course was conducted in September 2009, and has been updated and 

improved every year since. The training is an intense two-week course that establishes

common criteria and core competences in trauma, memory recall, alcohol facilitated 

sexual assault, same sex sexual assaults, marital sexual assaults, child and domestic 

violence, false report myths, false recantations and enhanced interview techniques, as 

well as working to overcome any possible investigator biases. The USAMPS SVUIC 

teaches investigators from all three Services and the Coast Guard, as well as 

17
prosecutors from those same departments and the National Guard. 

 The common training of both prosecutors and investigators helps the integration and 

common operating picture needed for successful Special Victim Capability teams. 

Outside experts such as Dr. David Lisak and Dr. James Hopper (nationally renowned 

psychiatrists focused on sexual assaults), Dr. Barbara Craig (a child abuse expert) and 

Dr. Kim Lonsway (a victim advocate expert from Ending Violence Against Women 

International) provide hours of instruction at the SVUIC. 

 In December 2013, the entire SVUIC curriculum was reviewed and modified by a 

committee of representatives from CID, Navy Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), DoD 

SAPRO, Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) and U.S. Air Force (USAF) Judge 

Advocate General (JAG). The committee updated various aspects of the training to 

emphasize the latest best practices in sexual assault investigations, and it expanded 

several blocks of existing training to provide more information and expertise in child 

abuse and domestic violence. 

 The effectiveness of SVUIC training is difficult to measure. However, indicators of 

effectiveness include; the number of judicial and non-judicial actions taken against 

offenders, the number of sexual assault investigations found to be deficient during 

DoDIG inspections and the number of complaints being received from victims about 

investigator misconduct or shortcomings. Currently, these indicators strongly suggest 

that the SVUIC is effective in improving the investigative response to sexual assault 

allegations. 

2.5. Describe your progress in developing joint doctrine for investigations to 

incorporate Service interoperability and command independence consistent with 

authorities of MCIOs in the operational/institutional environment. 

 Joint investigative doctrine has been, and continues to be, promulgated by DoDIG, 

with their most current effort being the initiation of a DoDI regarding the “Establishment 

of Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution Capability Within The Military Criminal 

Investigative Organizations.” Core training and competency in sexual assault 

investigations has been established through the USAMPS SVUIC for all the Services. 

 Similarly, since the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL) provides 

forensic science examinations for all of the Military Services, the collection, 

safeguarding, shipment, storage and processing of evidence across the DoD is

standardized to meet the accreditation requirements of the Forensic Quality Services -

International (FQS-I), under internationally recognized standards.

2.6. Describe your progress in sustaining the Defense Enterprise Working Group 

of Military Criminal Investigation Organizations and Defense Criminal Investigative 

Service to assess and validate joint investigative technology, best practices and 

resource efficiencies benched against external law enforcement agencies.

 On May 21, 2014, the Defense Enterprise Working Group (DEW Group) initiated a 

series of programs to develop functional groups as a subset of the DEW Group to 

identify, adopt and resource efficiencies for all the DEW Group members (MCIOs and 

others). Those functional groups will make periodic reports to the DEW Group, providing 

actionable and logical courses of action for approval by the DEW Group. The functional 

groups currently formed include: Forensic Investigative Equipment (FIE), Information 

18
Technology (IT) and Forensic Science Technician (FST). 

 The FIE group has already consolidated the procurement of a common digital 

fingerprint scanning system and is developing a common automated crime scene 

processing system. Both of those efforts are supported by the IT group. The FST group 

is finalizing a common training program which will result in the graduates being certified 

by a civilian national accreditation organization. The DEW Group continues to find areas 

of common ground for increased effectiveness and efficiencies for all criminal 

investigations, to include sexual assault.

2.7. Describe your progress in assessing and coordinating with the United States 

Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory to improve investigative support and 

facilitate evidence processing.

 The USACIL is a subordinate element of CID, and as such, is integral to all 

improvements of investigative and forensic processes enacted by CID. The DNA Branch 

of USACIL occupies a new 26,000 square foot expansion of the existing laboratory. The 

facility growth is directly attributable to increasing the DNA analyst staff from nine to 41 

authorizations to support sexual assault casework for all the Military Services. 

 USACIL has an aggressive laboratory modernization program that significantly 

enhanced the ability to test smaller samples and reduce processing times. USACIL 

purchases the most advanced technology and employs robotics in almost every aspect 

of testing. Some examples are the Direct Analysis in Real Time for trace evidence and 

robotics implementation in all phases of DNA processing (extraction, quantification and 

amplification). 

 USACIL was instrumental in the design of the current DoD Sexual Assault Evidence 

Collection Kit (SAECK). The enhancements enable long term storage at room 

temperature, facilitate consistent collections and are not gender specific, eliminating the 

need to buy two separate kits. USACIL provides routine quality control feedback on the 

SAECK kits being submitted to the laboratory to improve the overall efficacy of 

collection. 

 In FY14, USACIL introduced a “Back in 30” campaign with the goal to achieve an 

average case turn-around time of 30 days or less. USACIL implemented several 

initiatives to study and improve processes and identify any possible inefficiencies across 

the laboratory. Business process changes resulting from the efficiencies studies have 

already resulted in a 55% reduction in backlog since the third quarter of FY13. 

Currently, 82% of the case backlog is less than 60 days old, and the quarterly median 

turn-around time of sexual assault cases has been reduced from 65 days (in FY13) to 54 

days as of the end of FY14. 

 USACIL examiners, in conjunction with the USACIL’s Office of the Chief Scientist, 

designed and patented the mixture interpretation software Armed Xpert. Royalties 

received from the sales of Armed Xpert, now sold commercially, help provide additional 

funding for research and training. Current research projects include: advanced mixture 

resolution, open source software development for assessment of DNA profiles, rapid 

DNA analysis prototype evaluations, body fluid identification method development, next 

generation sequencing and sexual assault kit variability studies. 

 Established in 2009, USACIL’s Research Development Program is responsible for 

19
managing and directing research and evaluation efforts, identifying needs and gaps in 

forensic science, and recommending future investments. USACIL has demonstrated 

that a dedicated research development program can improve quality and efficiency in 

sexual assault forensic examinations and DNA capabilities by: 

• Increasing the amount of male DNA extracted from sexual assault swabs.

• Enhancing the quality of DNA profiles obtained from “touch” samples (items of 

evidence that a suspect simply touched and do not require bodily fluids).

• Decreasing the time required to generate a DNA profile from reference swabs.

• Improving the significance of DNA mixture interpretation commonly encountered in 

a sexual assault to aid in prosecution.

2.8. Describe your progress in ensuring that all sexual assault crimes are 

immediately reported to MCIOs to establish investigative oversight and 

coordination.

 Since its current organization as an independent, separate command in 1971, CID 

has always investigated all reported sexual assault crimes. The requirement for 

commanders to report all crimes within CID’s investigative responsibility has existed for 

decades in various regulations, including AR 600-20 (Army Command Policy) and AR 

195-2 (Criminal Investigations).

 Policy and regulations governing the reporting of sexual assaults ensure visibility for 

senior commanders and transparency for victims. Commanders at all levels are 

specifically prohibited from conducting initial inquiries into an allegation of sexual assault 

prior to notifying law enforcement. Commanders who fail to adhere to the requirement to 

report all allegations to law enforcement have been, and will continue to be, held 

accountable for their failure. Commanders are required by statute to provide notice, 

through a Sexual Assault Incident Response Oversight (SAIRO) report, to senior 

installation commanders within eight days of an unrestricted report. Finally, 

commanders and NCOs who have received a report of sexual assault during their 

command are evaluated on their response, including adherence to all reporting 

requirements, on personnel evaluations. All of these checks and balances are intended 

to ensure that every allegation is thoroughly and professionally investigated.

 Conferences, Army Directives and other unofficial correspondence continue to 

emphasize the importance of reporting all sexual assault crimes to CID. Annual unit 

level SHARP training and SARC/VA certification training also reinforce this requirement.

2.9. Describe your progress in ensuring prompt MCIO investigative notification to 

commanders and SARCs concurrent with initiating an investigation of a sexual 

assault crime.

 AR 600-20 requires CID to notify a SARC immediately after the initiation of any 

sexual assault investigation. CID incorporated that requirement into CID Regulation

195-1 (Criminal Investigation Operational Procedures). 

 It is CID’s policy to notify a SARC prior to any interview of a victim so that a VA can 

be assigned and present. Likewise, CID notifies commanders of suspects and victims 

whenever an investigation is initiated, provided that such notification would not adversely 

affect the initial investigative steps and taking the victim’s desires and welfare into

20
consideration.

2.10. Describe your continuing efforts to foster early coordination between 

investigators and judge advocates when initiating a sexual assault investigation.

 CID Regulation 195-1 requires CID agents to conduct early and frequent coordination 

with prosecutors during sexual assault investigations. The SVUIC training, attended by 

investigators and prosecutors, also emphasizes the need for this coordination to

optimize evidence collection to meet the elements of proof for a crime.

 This coordination is an essential element of the Army’s fully implemented Special 

Victim Capability which now includes 23 SVPs, 29 Sexual Assault Investigators (SAIs)

and 23 Special Victim NCOs (SVNCOs), located at installations across the Army. These 

specially trained teams have geographic areas of responsibility to ensure Army-wide 

coverage, including all deployed forces. At most of these locations, the investigator and 

prosecutor are co-located to encourage ongoing coordination throughout the process. 

Additionally, SHARP Resource Centers at several Army installations co-locates first 

responders, including investigators and judge advocates. At other locations, prosecutors 

often work within the CID building, again ensuring continuous coordination.

2.11. For Unrestricted and Restricted Reports, describe your efforts to ensure 

sexual assault documentation (DD Forms 2910 and 2911) is retained for 50 years 

in accordance with Section 1723 of the NDAA for FY14. 

 The Army complies with the requirements of DoDI 6495.02 for document retention. 

Since transitioning reporting to the DSAID in FY13, Army SARCs now upload and store 

the DD Form 2910 (Victim Reporting Preference Statement) in DSAID for Unrestricted 

Reports. The Army also included the requirements for retaining DD Form 2910 in the 

draft revision of AR 600-20. 

 For Unrestricted Reports, CID Regulation 195-1 requires the DD Form 2911 (DoD 

Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Report) be attached as an exhibit to all final CID 

sexual assault investigations. All final CID reports and exhibits are sent to the U.S. Army 

Crime Records Center (CRC) for storage, where they are retained on file for 50 years in 

accordance with an existing System of Records Notice. Although distribution of the DD 

Form 2911 is limited to CRC and file copies only, this does not restrict a copy of the form

being provided, upon request, to authorized recipients of CID reports (e.g., commanders 

and prosecutors) who require the report in the performance of official duties, unless 

otherwise authorized by law.

 For Restricted Reports, installation provost marshal personnel currently store the DD 

Form 2911 and the Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) kit locally for five years and 

then destroy the form and kit. A draft Army Directive instructs these personnel to cease 

destruction of all DD Form 2911s and SAFE kits.

 In accordance with MEDCOM Regulation 40-36 (Medical Facility Management of 

Sexual Assault), forensic examination records are maintained separately from outpatient 

treatment records to avoid inadvertent disclosure of unrelated information and to 

preserve confidentiality. SACCs and SACPs and all healthcare providers, must 

document an encounter with a victim as “sensitive” to protect and promote the welfare of 

the patient. The Patient Administration Division maintains the “sensitive” paper records 

in a locked, secured container.

21
2.12. Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

 CID routinely conducts joint investigations with civilian law enforcement agencies 

when felony crimes occur in their jurisdictions and involve Soldiers as suspects and 

sometimes victims. The investigators work closely together, often partnering, to 

complete various investigative tasks (interviews, crime scene processing, hospital 

treatment, executing warrants, etc.). While working together, each shares their best 

practices and techniques. CID often adopts civilian best practices and innovative 

techniques. 

 At many locations throughout the world, CID agents accompany military victims to 

civilian hospitals for treatment and administration of a sexual assault forensic 

examination kit. 

 The Army’s Office of the Provost Marshal General (OPMG), through the International 

Association of Chiefs of Police, drafted a Joint Defense and University Chiefs' Resolution 

addressing sexual violence on college campuses and military installations. The 

resolution calls upon law enforcement leadership in the military, universities and colleges 

to partner with local and state law enforcement agencies to prioritize efforts in 

addressing sexual violence and strengthening the response to these crimes. 

2.13. Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in the 

investigation of sexual assault.

 The USAMPS continues to refine SVUIC training, incorporating new and proven 

methods to ensure the course remains on the cutting edge of technological advances 

and evolving investigative practices. CID will continue to send its agents to the SVUIC 

with a goal of having all of its agents trained. 

 Agents can improve their skills even further by attending other advanced training in 

crime scene processing, child abuse and domestic violence. Personnel attending these 

advanced courses receive another ASI that highlights their expertise in all areas within 

the Special Victim Capability system. Additionally, senior sexual assault investigation 

team chiefs are scheduled to attend the annual Ending Violence Against Women 

International meeting in FY15. 

 The CID pamphlet on sexual assault investigation is updated annually and 

immediately distributed throughout CID in order codify emerging best practices. CID will 

continue to push for a revision of restrictive requirements on pre-text telephone calls and 

communications (a common best practice by civilian law enforcement in sexual assault 

investigations) that hampers collection of the best evidence. 

3. LOE 3—Accountability—The objective of accountability is to “achieve high 

competence in holding offenders appropriately accountable.”

3.1. Summarize your efforts to achieve the Accountability Endstate: “perpetrators 

are held appropriately accountable.”

 The Army’s efforts to hold offenders accountable show clear and significant progress. 

Since the inception of its unique SVP program in 2009, the Army has seen a 68% 

increase in the number of sexual assault courts-martial, while maintaining conviction 

rates between 60% and 70%. During the same period, the number of criminal 

convictions and punitive discharges for all sexual assault and serious family violence 

22
offenses has more than doubled. Prosecution rates in the Army reflect a healthy judicial 

system, in which commanders demonstrate a commitment to good order and discipline 

by pursuing cases that serve the interests of victims and our communities. 

 Additionally, the Secretary signed Army Directive 2013-21 (Initiating Separation 

Proceedings and Prohibiting Overseas Assignment for Soldiers Convicted of Sex 

Offenses) on November 7, 2013 (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2013_21.pdf). This 

directive ensures the decision to retain any Soldier convicted of a sex offense is fully 

informed and in the Army's best interest. In addition, this directive prohibits the overseas 

assignment of any Soldier convicted of a sex offense.

3.2. Describe your progress in implementing a special victims’ advocacy/counsel 

for victims. 

 The Army fully implemented the SVC Program in FY14. This program is unique to 

the military justice system and is unequalled in the civilian community. At no cost to the 

victim, the Army provides a specially trained attorney to every Soldier or dependent 

family member victim of sexual assault. 

 The SVC Program’s mission is to empower victims, provide legal support through 

independent representation, increase the level of legal assistance provided and build 

resiliency in victims to enable their full participation in the military justice and 

administrative process. 

 SVCs are uniformed legal assistance attorneys, nominated by their Staff Judge 

Advocate (SJA) based on their maturity and judgment and certified by The Judge 

Advocate General (TJAG). SVCs serve a one to two year tour under the supervision of 

the local Chief of Legal Assistance. The SVC Program Manager resides at HQDA in the 

Office of The Judge Advocate General (OTJAG), under the supervision of Director of 

Soldier and Family Legal Services and operates in partnership with the Legal Assistance 

Policy Division. Each SVC attends a one-week training course prior to certification by 

TJAG. 

 An SVC represents a victim throughout the investigation and accountability process, 

with the primary duty to zealously represent the express interests of the victim, even if 

those interests do not align with the government’s interests. The SVC may also provide 

the following services:

• Accompany the client to meetings or interviews related to the case.

• Address the court-martial on the client’s behalf.

• File motions and other court documents.

• Advocate on behalf of the client with entities such as the command, military or 

civilian health care organizations and social service providers.

• Communicate with government and defense attorneys on behalf of the client.

• Take other action on the client’s behalf in order to exercise the client’s rights 

related to the case.

 Indications are the SVC Program is functioning well for victims and commanders. 

Results from the DoD Survivor Experience Survey (SES) indicated 89% of participating 

Army victims reported satisfaction with the services of their SVC. The Army maintains

approximately 78 specially trained judge advocates serving as SVCs in the Active 

23
Component; 75 in the Army Reserve and 47 in the Army National Guard. By the end of 

FY14, SVCs served more than 1,700 client victims, conducted approximately 8,000 

consultations with clients and attended more than 360 courts-martial.

3.3. Describe your progress in ensuring those who are affiliated with the special 

victim capability program (paralegals, JAGs, Judges, special victim counsel/victim 

legal counsel and victim-witness assistance personnel) receive specialized SAPR 

training for responding to allegations of sexual assault. 

 During the past three years, recognizing the need for a more integrated and 

synchronized training program, the JAG Corps completed a substantial overhaul of 

available courses and performance tracking. The primary training arms of the JAG 

Corps are The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS), the Trial 

Counsel Assistance Program (TCAP) and the Defense Counsel Assistance Program 

(DCAP). These activities coordinate quarterly to synchronize and prioritize training 

needs covered by a budget of over $3 million. 

 Judge advocates attend required training at the TJAGLCS throughout their career 

and can attend more than 21 elective courses with a sexual assault focus offered by the 

three training arms. In addition, judge advocates attend courses offered by civilian 

organizations, including the National District Attorney’s Association and the National 

Center for Missing and Exploited Children. TCAP and DCAP also conduct regional 

outreach training courses at installations, tailoring these courses to the needs of each 

jurisdiction and allowing time for direct case assistance and evaluation. As TCAP and 

DCAP identify emerging issues across the Army, the civilian experts and senior litigators 

from TCAP and DCAP develop new short courses to offer judge advocates Army-wide.

 In order to ensure that the Army most effectively addresses allegations of sexual 

assault, the JAG Corps continued to implement the SVP Program and employ Special 

Victim Litigation Experts. These efforts are intended to establish the best practices 

available with regard to disposition of sexual assault allegations and to ensure the 

Army’s ability to most effectively prosecute and defend sexual assault and special victim 

cases.

 The Army selects SVPs based on military justice experience, advocacy and 

interpersonal skills. Within the first six months of duty, SVPs attend a two-week Sexual 

Assault Trial Advocacy Course; attend a five day New Prosecutor/Essential Strategies 

for Sexual Assault Prosecution course and attend the three-day Special Victim 

Prosecutor course. SVPs receive additional training at the National District Attorney’s 

Association Career Prosecutors Course and perform a two-week internship with a major 

city’s sexual assault prosecutor’s office. SVPs are part of the Army-wide effort to provide 

even greater expertise to the investigation and disposition of allegations of sexual 

assault and family violence. SVPs focus nearly exclusively on the prosecution of sexual 

assault and special victim cases and train/assist other prosecutors on the same types of 

cases. Their mission requires SVPs to maintain excellent working relationships with 

those investigating allegations of these crimes and those professionals working to meet 

the physical and emotional needs of victims. 

 Army SVNCOs and VWLs attend an annual 40-hour course focusing on working with 

victims of sexual assault and family violence. 

24
 The Army OTJAG continues to collect and review every DA Form 7568, 

Army/Victim/Witness Liaison Program Evaluation in order to improve the services to 

victims. This form is provided to each victim and witness in every trial by special or 

general court-martial, including sexual assault cases. These evaluations are 

overwhelmingly positive. 

3.4. Describe your progress in ensuring that if a service member is convicted by 

court-martial or receives a non-judicial punishment or punitive administrative 

action for a sex-related offense, a notation to that effect shall be placed in the 

service personnel record. 

 Section 1745 of the FY14 NDAA implemented two new requirements for 

accountability of sex-related offenses; the inclusion of information on sex-related 

offenses in personnel service records and the commanding officer’s mandatory review of 

the personnel record notation. DoD further directed each Service to develop and issue 

policy to implement this requirement. 

 On December 9, 2014, the Army published Army Directive 2014-29 (Inclusion and 

Command Review of Information on Sex-Related Offenses in the Army Military Human 

Resource Record) http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2014_29.pdf. This directive requires 

commanders to ensure that the permanent record in the Army Military Human Resource 

Record be annotated for Soldiers who receive a court-martial conviction, non-judicial 

punishment or punitive administrative action for a sex-related offense.

3.5. Describe your progress to expand the availability, sequencing and scope of 

commanders’ legal courses (e.g., range of command legal authorities and 

options). Include how you are assessing course outcomes. 

 Legal training for commanders has always been an aspect of professional 

development, beginning prior to commissioning with UCMJ training in ROTC and at

USMA. Once commissioned, officers assume a quasi-judicial role in each leadership

position and progressing in authority with each assignment. 

 Judge advocates play a critical role in the legal training for commanders, including 

responsibilities for sexual assault offenses. At the local level, judge advocates instruct at 

Pre-Command and Company Commander/First Sergeant Courses. Officers entrusted 

with the disposition of sexual assaults, withheld to Colonels with Special Court-Martial 

Convening Authority (SPCMCA), are required to attend Senior Officer Legal Orientation

(SOLO) courses taught by judge advocates at TJAGLCS. General Officers, who will 

serve as convening authorities, receive one-on-one instruction at TJAGLCS in their legal 

responsibilities, again with a focus on sexual assault. Beginning in FY14, TJAGLCS 

offered a new course for incoming Brigade Command Sergeants Major. In addition to 

these specialized legal courses, JAG Corps officers teach a block of instruction at the 

PCC for Battalion and Brigade Commanders and Command Sergeants Major. 

3.6. Describe your effort to ensure the withholding of initial disposition authority 

in certain sexual assault cases from all commanders who do not possess at least 

Special Court Martial Convening Authority and who are not in the grade of O6 or 

higher.

 After the Secretary of Defense directed that the initial disposition authority in 

penetrative sexual assault offenses be withheld to O-6 SPCMCA, the OTJAG provided 

25
an information paper and other training to SJAs and Chiefs of Criminal Law at all Army 

installations. The new withhold policy was incorporated into all pre-command and legal 

training courses and published to all Judge Advocates through MilSuite. 

 Finally, TJAGLCS updated the Commander’s Legal Handbook, providing guidance 

on the disposition authority in sexual assault cases.

3.7. Describe your efforts to ensure SAPR first responder knowledge of MRE 514 

(Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege). 

 SARCs and VAs receive instruction on Military Rule of Evidence (MRE) 514 in the 

SHARP 80-Hour Certification Course for collateral duty personnel, and in the 7-Week 

Baseline Certification Course for full-time personnel. The training, presented by Judge 

Advocates, occurs in Lesson 11 (Process a Sexual Assault Report) for both courses. 

Confidentiality and exceptions to confidentiality are discussed as part of the lesson when 

addressing a victim’s privileges under MRE 514. 

 Judge Advocates also advise first responders locally at every Army installation about 

the Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege set forth in MRE 514. 

 The SVUIC training at the USAMPS teaches MRE 514 to all investigators. 

Additionally, annual training for CID agents covers MRE 514.

 This privilege is noted twice on the DD Form 2910.

3.8. Describe any treatment or rehabilitation programs implemented by your 

Service for those members who have been convicted of a sexual assault. Include

any pertinent referrals such as drug and alcohol counseling, or other types of 

counseling or intervention. 

 All military correctional facilities provide, at a minimum, victim impact awareness and 

substance abuse/drug and alcohol education. Medium and maximum security facilities 

offer additional programs focusing on the prisoner’s offense. These behavior specific 

group treatment programs include sex offender education/treatment. Group treatment is 

considered voluntary and prisoners may decline to participate.

 The sex offender education/treatment groups vary by facility: 

• United States Disciplinary Barracks (maximum security facility). Prisoners are 

assessed to determine the level of treatment services they require for their sexual 

offenses. Prisoners who are determined to be low risk are placed in a low risk 

group. This group meets for approximately 36 sessions that are two hours in 

length. Prisoners assessed to be moderate or high risk are placed in an intensive 

treatment group. This phase includes sessions that meet twice a week for a total 

of four hours of treatment per week. The average length of participation is 40 

weeks. The goals are for the inmates to: understand their offending pattern and 

their risk factors for re-offense; develop appropriate skills to mitigate their risk for 

re-offending; learn how to achieve their life goals without harm to others. A team 

of professional staff who are specifically trained to work with sexual offenders 

facilitates the group.

• Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility and Northwest Joint Regional 

Correctional Facility (medium security facilities). These programs are designed to 

introduce offenders to the broader concepts involved in sex offender treatment and 

26
range from six to ten sessions. The goal is to prepare the prisoner for their 

mandatory attendance in treatment after incarceration which is managed by 

individual jurisdictions and made available in the private sector. A credentialed 

provider facilitates the programs.

3.9. NGB, describe how you are ensuring that all investigations are being referred 

to the NGB-JA/Office of Complex Investigations. 

Not applicable to Army.

3.10. Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

 In order to effect the Army practice of maximizing jurisdiction over offenses committed 

by Soldiers off-post, SJAs enter into a formal or informal agreement with local civilian 

authorities to ensure that every allegation is carefully considered for appropriate 

disposition. 

3.11. Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in 

holding offenders appropriately accountable.

 The Army will continue to ensure SVPs maintain and improve their skills. The 

following training courses represent some of the continuing education planned for SVPs 

in FY15:

• Essential Strategies for Sexual Assault Prosecution Course. TCAP plans to 

conduct four of these three-day training events. The training is modeled after 

sexual assault prosecution institutes throughout the country, which train 

prosecutors to successfully prosecute sexual assault crimes.

• Complex Litigation Course. This three-day course focuses on the very difficult 

aspects and challenges of litigating high profile cases, such as voir dire, discovery, 

use of expert testimony and sentencing.

• Sexual Assault Trial Advocacy Course. This course is a two-week trial advocacy 

course focusing on the fundamentals of trial advocacy in the context of litigating 

special victim cases.

• Introduction to Forensic Evidence Course. TCAP plans to offer this five-day 

training event twice during FY15. This course is held at the USACIL using USACIL 

instructors.

• Sexual Assault Expert Symposium. TCAP plans to offer one session of this threeday training event. The expert symposium introduces participants to the scientific 

disciplines they will encounter while litigating special victim cases. 

 Additionally, TCAP plans to conduct two SVP Conferences, bringing all SVPs 

assigned throughout the world to one location to discuss trends and issues in the 

investigation and disposition of special victim cases. Each conference is a three-day 

event where TCAP personnel provide relevant and timely military justice training. 

3.12. Provide a response to the following data points regarding to the Special 

Victims Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) Capability:

3.12.1. Percentage of SVIP cases preferred, compared to overall number of courts 

martial preferred in FY14.

27
 Of the 981 General and Special Courts-Martial that reached arraignment, 413 (42%) 

included a charge under Article 120. 

3.12.2. Percentage of special victim offense courts-martial tried by, or with the 

direct advice and assistance of a specially trained prosecutor.

 SVP provide direct advice and assistance on 100% of sexual assault allegations tried 

at courts-martial. Pursuant to The Judge Advocate General (TJAG) Policy Memorandum 

14-06, dated January 22, 2014, all Chiefs of Military Justice and Brigade Judge 

Advocates are required to consult with the servicing Special Victim Prosecutor on the 

disposition, charging decision and investigative file for every sexual assault allegation. 

After the initial required consultation, the role of the Special Victim Prosecutor in the 

prosecution of the court-martial will depend upon the complexity of the case and the 

experience of the prosecutor. In addition, every prosecutor is required to attend the 

Sexual Assault Trial Advocacy Course prior to serving as lead counsel on a sexual 

assault court-martial. 

3.12.3. Compliance with DoD Victim/Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) 

reporting requirements to ensure victims are consulted with and regularly updated 

by SVIP legal personnel

 The Army is in full compliance with reporting requirements to ensure victims are 

consulted and regularly updated by legal personnel. The on-going codification of Article 

6b, UCMJ, rights of victims will reflect long-standing Army practices to consult with 

victims throughout the investigation, disposition and accountability process. Formalizing 

the victim’s participation in the court-martial process, new Rules for Courts-Martial will 

set forth victim rights in all phases of the trial. Army prosecutors and legal personnel 

also assist commanders in meeting the requirement set forth in AR 600-20, to provide 

victims with a minimum monthly update on progress of their case. 

3.12.4. Percentage of specially trained prosecutors and other legal support 

personnel having received additional and advanced training in SVIP topical areas

 Every Army prosecutor serving as lead counsel on a sexual assault court-martial has 

received additional and advanced training in special victim offenses. The 23 Army SVP 

are hand-selected at the HQDA level for both their skill in the courtroom and their ability 

to work with victims. Within the first six months of duty, every SVP completes: on-thejob training with a civilian Special Victim Unit; attends a two-week Sexual Assault Trial 

Advocacy Course; attends a five day New Prosecutor/Essential Strategies for Sexual 

Assault Prosecution course and attends the three-day SVP course.

 All prosecutors are required to attend, at a minimum, the Sexual Assault Trial 

Advocacy Course, prior to prosecuting a sexual assault offense at court-martial. 

TJAGLCS offers a comprehensive series of courses to all of the key players in the 

military justice system, starting with new Judge Advocates and ranging all the way to 

Military Judges and general officers. The factual scenario which forms the basis of all 

instruction is a sexual assault scenario. Therefore, each course prepares the particular 

officer for their role in the Military Justice Process and specifically, for adjudicating a 

sexual assault case through that process. 

28
 Attendance at courses is tracked locally by supervising Judge Advocates and 

centrally at the Department of the Army. As Judge Advocates complete courses and 

attain experience in military justice positions, they obtain military justice additional skill 

identifiers that are reflected on personnel records. There are four levels of military 

justice additional skill identifiers from basic to expert. The skill identifier program 

promotes greater skill in litigation and expertise in military justice and is a factor in future 

military justice assignments. 

4. LOE 4—Advocacy/Victim Assistance--The objective of advocacy/victim

assistance is to “deliver consistent and effective victim support, response, and 

reporting options.”

4.1. Summarize your efforts to achieve the Advocacy/Victim Assistance Endstate: 

“high quality services and support to instill confidence and trust, strengthen 

resilience, and inspire victims to report.” Include responsibilities established in 

DoDI 6400.07, enclosure 2.

 It is the Army’s goal to eliminate sexual assault; but when incidents do occur, the 

Army treats victims with dignity, respect and professionalism. As noted in the 

discussions of LOE 2 (Investigation) and LOE 3 (Accountability), the Army’s cadre of 

SAI, SVP and SVC help ensure that sexual assault victims receive the highest quality of 

professional and compassionate services during the military justice process. Likewise, 

other responders such as SARCs, VAs and healthcare personnel play essential roles

providing the care and advocacy that victims of sexual assault deserve. 

 The Army made a determined effort during the past few years to ensure those 

entrusted to provide advocacy and healthcare to sexual assault victims are the best 

qualified and the best trained. These efforts include increased and improved training as 

well as more intense scrutiny and screening of personnel to fill these sensitive and 

trusted roles. The unprecedented priority placed on sexual assault prevention and 

response by Army leaders appears to have resulted in increasing victim confidence in 

the system as surveys and focus groups indicate Soldiers favorably view their units’ 

reporting climate and chain of command support for victims.

 With regard to responsibilities established in Enclosure 2 of DoDI 6400.07 (Standards 

for Victim Assistance in the Military Community), the Army’s SARC and VA Certification 

Courses include:

• Effective Communication. Topics addressed in the training include: active

listening, non-verbal and verbal communication, maintaining and establishing

boundaries of communication, ethical responsibilities and conflicts of interest.

• Response to Victimization. A detailed discussion on the dynamics of ‘Victimology’

and victim blaming theories identifies myths that facilitate victim blaming and revictimization, describes male victimization and explains healing and recovery for

victims of sexual assault.

• Crisis Support. Addresses the importance of privileged communications, privacy

rules and limitations on disclosure of information to other parties in crisis or

dangerous situations. The training emphasizes that all Personally Identifiable

Information (PII) is collected, maintained, disseminated and used in accordance

with DoD policies

29
• Ethical Standards. The importance of abiding by standards for appropriate and 

ethical conduct when performing duties as a SARC or VA goes hand in hand with 

providing high quality services. The training identifies ways of documenting and 

administering services to ensure quality and responsiveness to victims’ needs.

• Access to Resources and Services. Students who attend both courses receive 

detailed information on the availability of resources and services appropriate to 

their needs. 

• Interaction with the Military Justice System and Medical Personnel. The training

stresses that SARCs and VAs are not legal or medical professionals and that it is 

their job to get a victim/survivor to those professionals for assistance with medical 

and legal advice or services.

4.2. Describe your progress in allowing Reserve Component Service members 

who are victims of sexual assault while on active duty to remain on active duty 

status to obtain the treatment and support afforded active duty members. 

 The Army established procedures in 2009 to ensure that line of duty determinations 

are completed at the time a member of the Reserve Component files a Restricted 

Report, for the purpose of enabling the victim’s access to medical care. 

4.3. Describe your progress in ensuring that a member of the Reserve 

Components who is a victim of sexual assault by another member of the Reserve 

Components has timely access to a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. 

 All Army Reserve victims of sexual assault have access to their Regional Support 

Command (RSC) SARC at all times by calling the RSC 24/7 hotline number. In addition, 

the DoD Safe Helpline and Installation 24/7 hotline are available. Units place SHARP 

information on unit websites and provide materials in high foot traffic areas such as; 

barracks, motor-pools and dining facilities. The Army Reserve also distributes a 

government cell-phone to SARCs to facilitate 24-hour access for victims and 

commanders who have any sexual harassment or sexual assault concerns.

4.4. List the total number of full-time SARC/SAPR VAs serving at brigade or 

equivalent level. If not at 100%, describe your efforts to achieve 100% fill. 

 The Army has 330 out of 351 SARC positions at the brigade or equivalent level filled 

with full-time personnel. Additionally, 304 out of 333 Army VA positions at the brigade or 

equivalent level are filled with full-time personnel. Collateral duty military and civilian 

personnel are covering/filling the vacancies. 

 Commands are required to report to HQDA monthly on the status of their efforts to 

reach 100%. The Army currently has more than 16,000 personnel credentialed as 

SARCs and VAs to ensure that all victims of sexual assault receive the services and 

support to which they are entitled.

4.5. Describe what measures have been taken to ensure Service members are 

informed in a timely manner of their option to request a Military Protective Order 

(MPO) from the command of assignment. Include documentation that requires law 

enforcement agents to document MPOs in their investigative case files, to include 

documentation for Reserve Component personnel in Title 10 status.

 Commanders’ use of Military Protective Orders (MPO) and consideration of 

30
transferring sexual assault victims (and/or subjects) is documented in Chapter 8, AR 

600-20 (Army Command Policy) and included in pre-command training. 

 SHARP personnel (SARCs and/or VAs) use the DD Form 2910 (Victim Reporting 

Preference Statement) to inform victims of their rights regarding separation from the 

offender, MPOs, temporary restraining orders and transfers.

 Also, in accordance with DoDI 5505.18 (Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault in the 

Department of Defense), all investigators receive training in MPOs and expedited 

transfers annually, and those attending the SVUIC receive similar training. In 

accordance with AR 27-10 (Military Justice), victims and witnesses are advised that their 

interests are protected by administrative and criminal sanctions, one of which is an MPO 

issued by an appropriate commander. Paragraph 15.1h(5), CID Regulation 195-1, 

requires CID agents to include a copy of MPOs or Civilian Protective Orders (CPOs) as 

an exhibit to the final report of investigation. That requirement reads:

(5) Special agents will obtain copies of military protective orders (MPOs) issued 

by commanders to Soldier subject/suspects in all (e.g., sole, joint, collateral) 

sexual assault investigations. Copies of civilian protective orders (CPO) issued to 

Soldier subject/suspects in all sexual assault investigations will be obtained when 

available. If a CPO cannot be obtained, all efforts to obtain a copy will be 

documented in the AAS (Agent Activity Summary). A copy of the MPO and/or 

CPO will be an attached exhibit to the final ROI (Report of Investigation).

 Finally, the availability and use of the MPO is discussed as part of the SHARP 

classes in Army PME courses and annually in SHARP URT. 

4.6. Describe your efforts to establish processes for reviewing credentials, 

qualifications, and refresher training for victim-sensitive personnel positions. 

Describe your Service’s process to address inappropriate behavior demonstrated 

by those in victim-sensitive personnel positions. Include process for revocation 

of certification if appropriate. 

 Based on an FY13 internal assessment of screening processes, the Army established 

broader and more stringent criteria and background checks for personnel serving as

SARCs, VAs, Recruiters, Drill Sergeants and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Platoon 

Sergeants. The Secretary also mandated suitability checks for more than 20,000 Drill 

Sergeants, Recruiters, VAs, SARCs and other "positions of trust" to ensure that only the 

best-qualified and most suitable individuals serve in these important positions. These

revised processes and procedures ensure commanders actively select personnel who 

are best suited for their roles and responsibilities. To codify all of these policy 

improvements, the Army published Execution Order (EXORD) 193-14 (Screening of 

SHARP Program Personnel and Others in Identified Positions of Significant Trust) 

directing an enduring process for screening sensitive positions, including SARCs/VAs.

 The Army screening process consists of local and national criminal background 

checks, including the National Sex Offender Registry and public websites. Candidates 

are typically screened prior to attending training. These checks consist of mandatory 

disqualification criteria for perpetrators of serious crimes. The checks also consist of 

screening for minor offenses that can be waived after General Officer consideration and 

approval. In either event, Soldiers who are precluded from serving in a position of

significant trust due to misconduct have that stipulation recorded in their permanent 

31
personnel file via a General Officer signed memorandum. This memorandum prevents 

the Soldier from being considered for another position of significant trust. Additionally, 

those individuals have their Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate 

Certification Program (D-SAACP) certification revoked after a substantiated investigation 

and required due process. 

 In July 2014, the Army implemented a 24-Hour SARC/VA Recertification Course 

(online) for those individuals who need continuing education credits to meet the two year 

recertification requirements as outlined by the D-SAACP

4.7. Describe your progress in ensuring all SARC and SAPR VAs are D-SAACP 

certified prior to performing the duties of a SARC and SAPR VA. 

 The Army follows the D-SAACP, which credentials SARCs and VAs through the 

National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA). 

 Once a Soldier or Civilian SARC/VA completes the SHARP 80-Hour or 7-Week 

Baseline Certification Course, they must complete the DD Form 2950 (Department of 

Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program Application Packet) and send it 

to the DoD D-SAACP office for processing. The HQDA SHARP Program Office monitors 

the status of Army D-SAACP applicants for approval/disapproval. This information is 

sent to the SHARP Program Managers of each Army command in order to track the 

credentialed status of all SARCs and VAs. Additionally, the HQDA SHARP Program 

Office facilitates revocation of credentials, when applicable.

 In accordance with a memorandum signed by the Secretary on May 28, 2013, the 

authority to appoint SARCs is reserved to the first General Officer (GO)/Senior Executive

in the chain of command. The authority to appoint VAs is reserved to the Brigade 

Commander. 

4.8. Describe your continued efforts to ensure that the 24/7 DoD Safe Helpline has 

accurate contact information for on-base SAPR resources (i.e., Chaplains, SARCs, 

Military Police, Medical Personnel).

 The Army Audit Agency (AAA) conducted a comprehensive review of the Army’s 

procedures for supporting the synchronization of the DoD Safe Helpline with installation 

SHARP hotlines. As a result of the AAA review, and the efforts of Army Command 

SHARP Program Managers, the Army reconciled all installation SHARP hotlines with the 

DoD Safe Helpline. On December 20, 2013, the Army standardized procedures for 

Army-wide compliance with the DoD Safe Helpline requirements: 

• The Army Operations Center (AOC) conducts nightly quality control calls to ensure 

all numbers are tested on a rotating basis. The AOC provides the Army SHARP 

Program Office with the results of these calls. 

• The Army SHARP Program Office contacts the SHARP Program Manager from 

each Army Command (ACOM), Army Service Component Command (ASCC) and 

Direct Reporting Unit (DRU) within one business day of an unsuccessful call and 

follows up until the issue is resolved. 

• The Director, Army SHARP Program provides the Secretary a monthly report of 

quality control reporting results.

• The Secretary contacts the appropriate ACOM/ASCC/DRU Commanding General, 

32
when any site experiences more than one unsuccessful call.

• ACOM/ASCC/DRU SHARP Program Managers provide monthly quality control 

reports to the Army SHARP Program Office by the 15th of each month.

 In addition to the AOC quality control calls, the Army SHARP Program Office, AAA 

and DoD SAPRO conduct periodic compliance checks on a monthly basis. From 

January through October, 2014, the quality control accuracy rate has averaged 95%.

4.9. Describe your efforts to publicize various SAPR resources, such as DoD Safe 

Helpline, to all Service members. 

 The Army prominently displays DoD Safe Helpline information (phone, on-line text or 

on-line chat and text) on Army SHARP Program training and marketing materials, the 

Army SHARP Program website and installation websites. The DoD Safe Helpline 

provides brochures, banners and information cards for dissemination throughout the 

Army. The Army also publicizes DoD Safe Helpline information in various media 

materials to include Army magazines and newsletters. 

 Other initiatives to publicize SHARP resources throughout the Army include:

• FORSCOM units post DoD Safe Helpline and Installation 24/7 Safe Helpline 

information at several public locations along with photos and contact information of 

SARCs and VAs. 

• TRADOC installed SHARP Hotline phones in BCT and AIT sleeping areas, 

enabling Soldiers to push one button to reach the on-call VA.

• The requirement to post SHARP information on unit bulletin boards in USARPAC 

is included in the command inspection program.

4.10. Describe your progress in ensuring victims are afforded their legal rights, 

protections and services. 

 The implementation of the SVC Program has provided victims with an essential voice 

and transformed the ability of victims to understand and exercise their rights from the 

initial report through the investigation and accountability process. SVC provide broad 

services that extend beyond the legal rights in a court-martial to address all of the legal 

and administrative issues that can arise after an assault. Victims and commanders 

express overwhelming support for the program.

 Additionally, the Army, along with the other Services, has expeditiously moved to 

amend regulations and the Manual for Courts-Martial through Executive Orders to 

ensure that the provisions of the Federal Crime Victims Rights Act are incorporated into 

the UCMJ. Specifically, the new provisions already in effect include: 

• A codification of victims’ rights.

• A prohibition to defense counsel from interviewing a victim of a sexual assault 

outside the presence of the SVC and/or prosecutor.

• Procedures for participation by the victim in the clemency phase of courts-martial.

• Revisions to Article 32 preliminary hearings that allow military victims to refuse to 

testify and strengthen rules of evidence and procedures intended to protect the 

privacy interests of victims.

4.11. Describe your progress to improve the victim care services at Joint Bases, 

33
in Joint Environments and for the Reserve Components. 

 Some major Army commands such as FORSCOM, U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR)

and USARPAC have created Memorandums of Understanding (MOU)/Memorandums of 

Agreement (MOAs) with other service SAPR programs on Joint Bases to pool resources 

and training opportunities. This includes MOAs between MCIOs to identify the 

conditions that dictate which MCIO has lead investigative responsibility on Joint Bases, 

and the requirement to conduct joint investigations as needed and/or to share 

information. Some Joint Bases have joint services meetings and conduct a joint SARB.

 The Army Reserve has MOAs/MOUs enacted with civilian treatment facilities. Army 

Reserve SARCs and VAs make contact with any nearby garrison resources (e.g., ACS) 

to provide contact information and conduct regular visits.

 The Army has 75 Reserve Judge Advocates serving as SVCs for Army Reserve 

Soldiers entitled to these services. 

4.12. Describe your progress in strengthening participation in an integrated victim 

services network of care.

 A significant victim services initiative for the Army during FY14 was the establishment 

of SHARP Resource Centers (SHARP-RC). A SHARP-RC is a “one-stop shop” 

designed to coordinate and support all SHARP program services on an Army installation, 

with a focus on maximum co-location of advocacy, investigative and legal personnel. 

The SHARP-RC also coordinates prevention, outreach and training activities. 

Leadership and personnel at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) established the initial 

SHARP-RC in 2013.

 On March 21, 2014, the Chief of Staff directed a feasibility assessment for 

implementing SHARP-RCs at all Army installations, using the facility at JBLM as the 

model. A working group conducted a comprehensive review of the JBLM model, to 

include an on-site visit, to identify core functions and resources required. 

 The SHARP-RC has multiple functions that provide comprehensive service to the 

military community, including coordination with local victim advocacy agencies, legal, 

social and medical services. 

 Based on each installation’s specific resources and requirements, the following 

elements of the SHARP-RC may be full-time or part-time: 

• VAs provide customer service and advocacy in support of victims, providers, 

responders and leaders. VAs operate the victim care and treatment area (with 

segregated Restricted Reporting and Unrestricted Reporting areas), perform 

‘triage’ to identify needed resources, make referrals and direct non-SHARP issues 

to the appropriate program staff. 

• A SACC/Nurse Case Manger (NCM) provides victim care management. While 

medical treatment is not conducted at the center, the SACC/NCM interviews 

victims and coordinates immediate and ongoing medical and behavioral health 

referrals. 

• The SVC provides the victim with an attorney to help navigate the legal process. 

• The SJA dedicates a prosecutor to the SHARP-RC and uses the space as a 

neutral environment for interacting with victims during the investigation and trial 

34
phase of the case. 

• CID provides agent support and interview space in the SHARP-RC for immediate 

interaction with victims choosing the Unrestricted Reporting option. 

• SJA and CID personnel are co-located in the SHARP-RC away from the Customer 

Service Area in order to protect confidentiality and preserve a victim’s Restricted 

Reporting option. In addition, VWLs and Special Victim Paralegals may support 

SHARP-RC operations.

 The HQDA SHARP-RC working group assessed establishing SHARP-RCs at 43 

Army locations based on Army Command input and: 

• Population size and geographic dispersion.

• Historical sexual assault caseload.

• Availability of physical resources such as building and office space.

• Availability of advocacy.

• Investigative, legal and medical resources.

 On June 2, 2014, the Chief of Staff approved a pilot program for the SHARP-RC 

concept at 12 locations across the Army. The initial operating capability is scheduled for 

January, 2015; however, several installations have already established their SHARP-RC.

4.13. Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian victim response 

organizations to improve interoperability. 

 As stated in Section 4.12, the SHARP-RC has multiple functions that provide 

comprehensive service to the military community, including coordination with local victim 

advocacy agencies, legal, social and medical services. 

 Additionally, MEDCOM continues to partner with civilian healthcare facilities, rape 

crisis centers and civilian professional organizations, including International Association 

of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) and NOVA to continually improve patient care and advocacy 

response. 

 The Army Reserve produced and published a “Community Resource Guide” and 

“First Responders Book” that have local SHARP resources for every community that 

host Reserve units. The Army Reserve also works closely with the local hospitals to 

ensure victims of sexual assault receive all required care. 

 The Army recently worked with the University of Southern California Institute for 

Creative Technologies in developing individual, interactive counseling tools to improve 

small unit leader counseling skills. This program, called Emergent Leader Immersive 

Training Environment (ELITE), uses specific SHARP scenarios to take junior leaders 

through counseling events, such as how to handle a sexual harassment complaint or an 

allegation of sexual assault. This “gaming” approach is an innovative learning model 

that seems to appeal to the current demographic of junior leaders. USMA incorporated 

ELITE into one of its military leadership courses. 

4.14. Provide an assessment of the implementation of your expedited victim 

transfer request policy. Include measures taken to ensure victims are informed in 

a timely manner of their right to request an expedited transfer and challenges to 

the implementation of the policy. Documentation should be included as an 

35
appendix. 

 The Secretary signed Army Directive 2011-19, Expedited Transfer or Reassignment 

Procedures for Victims of Sexual Assault (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2011_19.pdf), 

on October 3, 2011. Soldiers who file an Unrestricted Report are informed by the SARC 

at the time of making the report, or as soon as practicable, of the option to request a 

temporary or permanent expedited transfer from their assigned command or installation 

or to a different location within their assigned command or installation. 

 In accordance with the Army Directive, commanders must start with a presumption in 

favor of granting a victim’s request for transfer and take reasonable steps to prevent a 

transfer or reassignment from negatively impacting a victim’s career. Commanders must 

also inform victims regarding reasonably foreseen impacts to his/her career, potential 

impact of the transfer on the investigation and prosecution of the case. Only a General 

Officer may disapprove a request for a local transfer and only the Commanding General 

(CG), Human Resources Command (HRC) may disapprove a transfer from an 

installation. 

 The SHARP Program Office and HRC jointly established oversight procedures to 

quickly resolve any Soldier transfer processing issues. Additionally, when considering 

the best courses of action for separating the victim and the subject, commanders may 

decide to transfer the subject.

 Locally, the monthly SARB reviews Unrestricted Reports and victim care, including 

the status reports on MPOs and expedited transfer requests.

4.14.1. Pertaining to temporary and/or permanent unit/duty expedited transfers 

(does NOT involve a PCS), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

 The number requested (20)

• The number approved as the victim requested (20)

• The number approved different than the victim requested (0)

• The number denied and a summary of why (0) 

• The number moved within 30 days of approval (19)

• The number moved after 30 days of approval (1)

4.14.2. Pertaining to permanent requested installation expedited transfers (does 

involve a PCS move), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

36
 The number requested (296)

• The number approved as the victim requested (288)

• The number approved different than the victim requested (2)

• The number denied and a summary of why (6) 

- Two Soldiers were pending a UCMJ action, two were pending separation 

for unrelated misconduct and two were under investigation for unrelated 

misconduct.

- The first GO in the victims’ chain of command and the CG, HRC concurred 

with the recommendations for disapproval.

• The number moved within/after 30 days of approval (HRC issues all orders with 

early reporting authorized).

4.15. Describe your efforts to implement and enhance first responder training 

(e.g., sexual assault health care providers).

 As a result of feedback received during panels and sensing sessions, chaired by the 

Chief of Staff and attended by SARCs, VAs and victim/survivors, it became clear that the 

Army needed to take measures to enhance the training and development of SHARP 

professionals in order to ensure they felt adequately equipped for their duties. The 

Army’s 80-hour SHARP Certification Course, although twice as long as what DoD 

requires, needed to increase and strengthen educational requirements for the full-time 

brigade level SARCs and VAs. The Chief of Staff directed the development of a 

centralized SHARP Academy to expand the knowledge and skills of the Army’s SARCs 

and VAs. The initial pilot course (January 27 - March 28, 2014), and four subsequent 

courses (all at Fort Belvoir, Virginia), validated a comprehensive curriculum which 

includes enhanced human relations, interpersonal communication and leadership 

training. The initial 8-week pilot course led the way for the development of a 7-week 

Baseline Certification Course for SARC/VA and a 12-week Course for SHARP Trainers. 

 In September 2014, the Army selected Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as the permanent 

location for the SHARP Academy, co-locating it with one of the Army’s premier leader 

development training centers. The permanent SHARP Academy held their first two 

courses in October 2014. 

 The SVUIC, taught at USAMPS, uses cutting edge training techniques on a series of 

key topics and outside experts from psychiatry, child abuse trauma evidence and victim 

advocacy. This training dramatically increases the effectiveness of both investigators 

and prosecutors. Additionally, the annual refresher training for CID agents uses the 

evaluation of the investigations by the DoDIG and CID IG to identify shortfalls, trends 

and patterns that need correction.

 During FY14, the SVC Program, in conjunction with TJAGLCS, established and 

conducted a SVC Certification Course, a SVC course for representing child victims and a 

SVC Supervisors Course. Additionally, OTJAG conducted training for 52 Army VWLs

and Army correctional facility victim assistance personnel. This training included 

instruction on working with victims of sexual assault, the impact of crimes on victims, 

counterintuitive behavior, the SVP Program and the SVC Program.

 In FY14, MEDCOM revised SAMFE training to include best practices and standards 

37
developed in the SAMFE Leading Standard. Phase one of this training consists of 80 

hours of classroom training. Phase two consists of supervised sexual assault patient 

examinations, observation of legal proceedings and testifying experience. Additional 

enhancements are planned that will standardize the use of live patients (female and 

male) resulting in a better training experience.

4.16. List the number of victims, if any, whose care was hindered due to lack of 

Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) kits or timely access to appropriate 

laboratory testing resources and describe the measure you took to remedy the 

situation. 

 There are no reports of any victims whose care was hindered due to a lack of SAFE 

kits or timely access to medical or laboratory resources.

4.17. Provide the following information about coverage for Sexual Assault 

Forensic Examinations for all Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs):

• A list of MTFs with the number and hours of emergency room coverage.

• The number of full-time Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) assigned 

at each MTF under your respective jurisdiction that operates an emergency 

room 24 hours per day.

• A list of the number of qualified SAFE examiners by MTF, listed separately 

by employees and contractors, if any.

• The number and types of providers (i.e. registered nurse, advanced 

practice registered nurse, medical doctor, physician assistant, independent 

duty corpsman).

• The dates of Service-certification to perform these exams (and/or national 

certification date) by provider.

• The number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) assigned for sexual assault 

examiner response per facility and the types of providers assigned to those 

FTEs.

• A listing of all MOU/MOA to provide SAFE services, with the location, 

distance from the facility, and execution and termination dates for each 

agreement.

• How many SAFE kits were processed and results used to inform command 

action.

 The FY14 NDAA mandates that every MTF with 24/7 Emergency Room capability 

shall have at least one SANE on staff. MEDCOM began implementing this SANE 

requirement in March 2014, which has resulted in 100% compliance (August 2014) in 

MEDCOM MTF SANE capability. 

 In FY14, MEDCOM led a national conversation on SAMFE best practices with the 

Department of Justice (DoJ), IAFN, USACIL, CID/OPMG, Navy and DoD. The results of 

this effort were the SAMFE Leading Standard guidelines which will be incorporated into 

policy and MEDCOM Regulation 40-36 (Medical Facility Management of Sexual Assault) 

in FY15. 

 The SAMFE Leading Standard directed the establishment of a Sexual Assault 

Medical Management Office (SAMMO) in every MTF to ensure a consistent patientcentered experience for victims of sexual violence. The SAMMO consists of a Sexual 

38
Assault Medical Director, a SACC, a SACP, a Sexual Assault Behavioral Health (SABH) 

provider and SAMFEs. 

 The SAMMO provides improved immediate and long-term patient care and 

coordination for all victim support services. Medical services include assessment and 

treatment of acute medical injuries, offering a SAFE when indicated, assessment of risk 

for pregnancy, assessment of risk of sexually transmitted infections, behavioral health 

support and all necessary follow-up care and services. All patients are offered a referral 

to behavioral health at their first medical encounter and are encouraged to receive 

psychological care and victim advocacy support. Long-term care plans are tailored to 

the meet the individual patient’s medical and behavioral healthcare needs.

See Appendix A for SAFE coverage and capabilities at Army MTFs. 

4.18. Provide information about any problems or challenges that have been 

encountered with MTFs during the previous year and the actions taken to improve 

the program or services. 

 During FY14, MEDCOM conducted SAVs to review MTF policies and SAFE 

procedures. The SAVs included interviews, discussions with the staff that perform 

SAFEs, and an assessment of designated areas where SAFEs are performed. The SAV 

team discussed findings with the SAMFEs, MTF leadership and staff. 

 The Deputy Surgeon General also directed that all MTFs that provide SAFEs 

designate an exam room that is secure, private, gender neutral and able to immediately 

respond to patients.

4.19. Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective victim 

support response, and reporting options.

 As previously discussed, the responsibility for executing the centralized training for 

both SARC/VA and SHARP Trainers transferred from the HQDA SHARP Program Office 

to the SHARP Academy under the Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. 

No later than October 1, 2015, the SHARP Academy also assumes responsibility for 

managing the decentralized SHARP 80-Hour Certification Course along with the 

responsibility for managing all SHARP institutional training (IMT, PME and CES) and 

operational training (SHARP Annual URT). 

 MEDCOM plans for FY15 include publishing the revision of MEDCOM Regulation 40-

36, staff assistance visits and inspections to assist MTFs with methods to improve the 

delivery of care to victims.

 Additionally:

• The Army will continue to credential SARCs/VAs in accordance with D-SAACP.

• The Army will continue implementation of SHARP-RCs.

• The Army plans to pursue options for adding ELITE to PME and other training 

courses.

4.20. Provide status of developing and implementation of regulation that prohibits 

retaliation against a victim or other member of the Armed Forces who reports a 

criminal offense in accordance with FY14 NDAA. Include measures to ensure 

Service members receive education and training pertaining to reprisal prevention 

39
and detections; policies and procedures for filing a complaint of retaliation.

 The Army is taking action to address retaliation through messaging, training,

investigation and when appropriate, taking disciplinary action against Soldiers who 

retaliate against individuals who report allegations of sexual assault. On June 19, 2014, 

the Secretary signed Army Directive 2014-20, Prohibition of Retaliation Against Soldiers 

for Reporting a Criminal Offense (http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2014_20.pdf). This 

directive states that "[n]o Soldier may retaliate against a victim, an alleged victim or 

another member of the Armed Forces based on that individual's report of a criminal 

offense.”

 The Army has fully implemented the requirements of the Military Whistleblower 

Protection Act, 10 U.S.C. § 1034, which prohibits whistleblower reprisal, in Army 

Regulation 600-20 at paragraph 5-12. The Army has a robust mechanism for 

investigating allegations of reprisal through The Inspector General (TIG). 

 Army intends to:

• Publish an Army Directive, directing that, at every SARB meeting, the SARB

Chairs will ask the SARB members if the victim, witnesses, bystanders (who

intervened), SARCs and SAPR VAs, first responders, or other parties to the

incident perceived that they have experienced any incidents of retaliation, 

ostracism, maltreatment or reprisals. Upon report of an allegation of retaliation, 

a full investigation will be directed.

• Update AR 600-20, to include SARB Chair responsibilities to refer all allegations

from a victim, witness, or first responder of retaliation, ostracism, maltreatment or

reprisal in conjunction with an allegation of sexual assault for appropriate action.

• Update SARC/VA training to include procedures for receipt and processing

allegations of retaliation as well as methods for submitting complaints to 

the installation SARB for review.

5. LOE—Assessment—The objective of assessment is to “effectively standardize,

measure, analyze, assess, and report program progress.”

5.1. Summarize your efforts to achieve the Assessment Endstate: “responsive, 

meaningful, and accurate systems of measurement and evaluation into every 

aspect of the SAPR program.”

 The Army published a SHARP Campaign Plan in May 2014. The campaign plan 

established objectives for each Line of Effort (LOE): Prevention, Investigation, 

Accountability, Advocacy and Assessment. To measure progress in achieving these 

objectives, the Army initiated an assessment program of the campaign plan objectives in 

late 2014. The assessment program consists of three phases through 2017. Initially, 

the assessment defined metrics for each LOE sub-objective. Then, the Army 

determined which existing data collection systems could populate each metric and the 

update frequency. The method of assessment consists of data aggregation and display 

in the Army Strategic Management System (SMS) under a common operating picture. 

At full operational capability, the assessment will be available to echelons above brigade 

and brigade level commanders. This common operating picture can be tailored for each 

organization or installation including non-SHARP metrics for increased user functionality. 

40
To enable assessment, the Army SHARP Program Office provides dedicated resources 

to data quality assurance and improvement. 

5.2. Describe your oversight activities that assess the SAPR program 

effectiveness. Include frequency, methods used, findings and recommendations, 

corrective action taken (e.g., program management review and Inspector General 

inspections) and other activities. 

 The first line of assessments of the SHARP Program’s effectiveness is the monthly 

SARB chaired by the Senior Commander at each Army installation. Commanders 

conduct assessments through the SARB with the Senior Commander and critical 

response agencies that include CID, SJA, Behavioral Health, IG and subordinate 

commanders with their SARCs/VAs. The SARBs review cases and identify trends that 

may assist commanders in determining where potential areas of concern exist in order to 

develop courses of action to reduce or eliminate these crimes. 

 The Army Inspector General (DAIG) conducted the most comprehensive oversight 

activity of FY14. The DAIG conducted interviews with more than 2,700 contacts 

(Soldiers, leaders, DA Civilians, and Family Members) and analyzed data and 

perspectives from more than 1,800 surveys across the Army. The DAIG also reviewed 

100 SARC/VA suitability files for compliance and completeness. This review will assist 

in developing future area of improvement in the SHARP program. The DAIG inspection 

found: 

• Soldiers at most inspection sites reported that the Army is getting the message out

about SHARP.

• Commanders at battalion level and above knew the appropriate actions to take

with regard to sexual assaults.

• There are too many documents and publications addressing various aspects and

changes to the SHARP program.

• Gaps in SHARP training include both the spectrum of vignettes and the lack of

NCO specific training.

• Need for better procedures to ensure continuity of care for a victim during

transition and/or expedited transfer (warm hand-off).

• The current focus on SHARP has resulted in an emerging hypersensitivity across

the force.

• There are still considerations and perceptions that may prevent a victim or

bystander from reporting or intervening in an incident.

 Two other Department of the Army level assessments of the SHARP program during 

FY14 include:

• U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) Focus

Groups. ARI conducted more than 170 focus groups and individual interviews.

Topics discussed included: reporting (e.g., barriers to reporting, reasons to

report/not report, retaliation, confidentiality, SARC/VA), command climate (e.g.,

trust in leadership, unit climate regarding sexual harassment/assault), SHARP

training, “sexting” and social media.

• Installation Management Command (IMCOM) IG. The purpose of this inspection

41
was to determine if the implementation of the Army’s SHARP Program was being 

effectively managed and if it was meeting the needs of Soldiers, Family members

and Civilian employees in accordance with applicable DoD and Army policies. 

 An analysis of the three independent assessments (DAIG, ARI and IMCOM IG) 

resulted in some common findings: 

Finding 1: Confidentiality – Assessments determined that a lack of confidentiality 

discourages reporting. The findings highlighted the challenges in respecting the victim’s 

right to confidentiality with ensuring those who need to know about the incident are 

informed. Commanders must balance the conflicting needs for Soldiers to understand 

the chain of command’s response to sexual harassment/assault incidents while 

maintaining victim confidentiality. Commanders are doing all they can to provide SHARP 

personnel with work space where a victim could feel comfortable seeking help. 

However, some SHARP offices are located inside facilities where the victim has to 

approach a counter, usually surrounded by people, and ask to talk to the SARC or VA. 

To address these concerns, the Chief of Staff approved the implementation of the 

SHARP-RC initiative discussed in LOE 4 (Advocacy). 

Finding 2: Training - Assessments found that emphasis on SHARP training resulted 

in both training fatigue and hypersensitivity across the force. Some Soldiers were 

overwhelmed with the large amount of PowerPoint presentations, online modules and 

videos. Soldiers felt that the online training was just something they did to “check the 

box” and that they clicked through it. Satisfaction with SHARP training appeared to be 

related to the training modality. Participants in each survey/rank group expressed 

satisfaction with interactive training such as skits and role-play. There was also 

agreement that SHARP training should incorporate situations in which the genders and 

ranks of the victim and offender are other than what might be expected. Other concerns 

were that mandatory annual SHARP training was not effectively targeting the right 

audience, including commanders and leaders. The Army incorporated these 

recommendations into SHARP annual training guidance which stated that training be 

conducted in groups of less than 25, be small unit leader-led and scenario-based. To 

address these and other issues, the Army updated its annual unit training for FY15 by 

reducing reliance on briefing slides and introducing vignette- and scenario-driven training 

to support small group discussion. Many of the scenarios were based on real-life 

circumstances. The Army also implemented the ELITE training for developing individual, 

interactive counseling tools to improve small unit leader counseling skills. 

Finding 3: SARC/VA Training - One assessment questioned the adequacy of SARC 

and VA training and suggested inclusion of additional topics and a lengthened course of 

instruction to better prepare SARCs/VAs to perform their duties. A majority of SARCs 

and VAs in one command voiced concerns about the quality, content and length of the 

training they received. Another assessment found that the Army needs to ensure 

consistent execution of a program of instruction and enhance training to improve 

response capabilities of VAs. To address these findings, the Army improved its training 

program for full-time SARCs and VAs and established for the new SHARP Academy. 

This training program provides an expanded curriculum focused on professional services 

in direct support of sexual assault victims. 

Finding 4: SHARP Personnel Screening Process - One assessment found that the 

42
screening packet configuration varied significantly from location to location. Also, the 

screening packets varied from installation to installation, containing different information, 

incomplete information/documents and different formats. No installation inspected 

identified a centralized office to gather, provide quality control and maintain/store the 

screening packets. Another assessment recommended the Army publish guidance that 

includes an estimate for annual screening/re-screening requirements for SHARP 

personnel. In response to these concerns, the Army published EXORD 193-14 directing 

an enduring process for screening sensitive positions, including SARCs/VAs. 

Finding 5: Senior Leader Training - One assessment found that Army leaders need 

to establish and consistently model a climate of “zero retaliation.” Another assessment 

recommended that the Army expand and emphasize a tiered approach to training and 

include leader professional development in PME. To address these recommendations, 

the Army completed full integration of SHARP core competencies and learning 

objectives into all echelons of Army PME. Based on an assessment of Army PCC and 

Senior Enlisted SHARP training, the Army expanded mandatory first responder training 

from Brigade and Battalion level to the Company level. Army policy now requires 

Brigade SARCs to conduct this training for all Company Commanders and First 

Sergeants within 30 days of assuming their position. In addition, to improve prevention 

of sexual assault and harassment, the Army established a new training program for 

implementation in focused on bystander intervention, entitled ‘Got Your Back.’ 

Finding 6: Social Media - One assessment recommended that SHARP training 

include scenarios discussing the use of text messages and social media as a means to 

sexually harass others. Another assessment found that some Soldiers reported being 

harassed via social media. Additionally, 90% of sexual assault and sexual harassment 

cases were found to include the use of digital/social media. To address these findings, 

ARI is initiating research in 2015 on aspects of social media and cyber personas that 

may inform programs and policy on sexual harassment and sexual assault.

 AR 600-20 requires commanders and SHARP program proponents at all levels to 

provide program assessment feedback to HQDA. During FY14, most major Army 

commands reported conducting several reviews/inspections/assessments. Specifically:

• The CID IG completed evaluations of investigative services related to sexual

assault investigations. General findings verified, with few exceptions, that

investigations of sexual assaults were conducted in a thorough and timely manner

and met the investigative standards of the command.

• OTJAG conducted inspections of field offices pursuant to Article 6(a), UCMJ.

These inspections included a review of the prosecution, defense and VWL

programs.

• USARPAC conducted semi-annual Command level SARBs, hosted by the

Commanding General (4-Star).

• In addition to inspections of its SHARP Program, USAREUR conducted a mock

sexual assault exercise to assess the response capabilities of first responders.

• FORSCOM SHARP Office conducts staff assistance visits each year with one

brigade per installation to ensure all SHARP information is properly posted and

43
training is conducted in accordance with Army policy. Additionally, staff 

assistance visits examine reporting procedures to ensure all understand the 

available reporting options. 

• MEDCOM conducted staff assistance visits, IG Inspections, quarterly program 

surveys, 100% review of MTF’s with 24/7 Emergency Room (ER) capability and 

reviewed MOU/ MOAs with local civilian treatment facilities.

• U.S. Army, Central (ARCENT) utilizes SHARP Program Management Teams to 

inspect units through SAVs and Command Inspections in order to ensure 

compliance with regulatory guidance and provide meaningful feedback to 

commanders and staff regarding their program effectiveness.

• TRADOC conducted SAVs on SHARP training. 

• CG USASOC directed SHARP be included in every IG compliance inspection as a 

special interest item. USASOC also conducts a quarterly Sexual Assault Review 

Board hosted by the Deputy Commanding General to review open sexual 

assault/sexual harassment cases, conduct data and trend analysis and review 

personnel manning.

• U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) conducted quarterly 

“Health of the Command Assessments” to evaluate high-risk behaviors, including 

the key areas of sexual harassment and sexual assault. INSCOM also conducts 

annual Staff Inspections and SAVs/Compliance Inspections no later than six 

months after the date of a change of command. 

• USMA contracted for the College of Sports Association to assess the varsity 

athletic program, policies and procedures to ensure compliance with national 

requirements. This assessment included a review of policies associated with 

SHARP on the athletic teams. The assessment used sensing sessions with 

various groups including coaches, teams, staff and faculty. 

5.3. Describe your efforts to ensure integrity of data collected in the Defense 

Sexual Assault Incident Database.

 Sexual assault case data quality and integrity are a priority for the Army. The HQDA 

SHARP Program Office manages a contract team that creates Army-wide command 

level and quality control monthly reports for all ACOM/ASCC/DRU. Each report contains 

all data elements (350+ data fields per case minus PII) from the data entered into DSAID 

by Army SARCs and legal officers. The reporting capability is further enhanced by the 

integration of imported data from DSAID case level reports, data from DSAID cross 

service reports, and data from the Army’s Automated Criminal Investigation/Intelligence 

(ACI2) system into the Army's Sexual Assault Data Management System (SADMS) 

database. Along with monthly video-teleconferences, OTJAG brought senior SVC 

together to gather lessons learned and to meet with the JAG Corps leadership to assess 

the program.

 The integration of these data sources into the SADMS database supports weekly 

data analysis of CID-DSAID data transactions, monthly command level reports, monthly 

quality control reports, CID case reconciliation and missing or duplicate cases within 

DSAID database. The established quality control processes provide a summary of 

identified data gaps for analysis and action by ACOM/ASCC/DRU DSAID users and 

44
SHARP Program Managers.

5.4. Provide a summary of your research and data collection activities conducted 

in FY14. Include documentation in the appendix. 

 ARI is the Army’s primary research and survey organization. As one of the leading 

research institutes for training, leader development and Soldier research, ARI conducts 

survey research and occupational analysis, providing valuable trend data and analysis of 

Soldier and leader attitudes and concerns. 

 As noted in Section 5.2, during FY14, ARI conducted focus groups of Soldiers, 

commanders, SARCs, VAs and Equal Opportunity Representatives to identify 

perceptions of sexual harassment and sexual assault and related issues such as 

reporting, retaliation, unit climate, and training. More than 170 focus groups and 

individual interviews were conducted with 652 participants at 12 locations. 

 In FY14, ARI also began developing and revising content for the next iteration of the 

Army Human Relations Survey, to be administered in FY15. The Human Relations 

Survey is a triennial survey that focuses on perceptions and experiences from a sample 

of Active Component Soldiers in operational units and Soldiers in IET. The survey 

focuses on Soldiers’ attitudes and perceptions about issues related to sexual 

harassment and sexual assault, reporting behaviors, leadership and climate, SHARP 

training, sources of assistance, understanding of SHARP policies and bystander 

intervention attitudes. 

 ARI is also conducting research in the area of social media and cyber personas. This 

research will examine aspects of social media and cyber personas that may inform 

programs and policy on sexual harassment and sexual assault. ARI’s unit-level research 

includes a focus on identifying and developing training and assessment methods that will 

enable leaders and units to build and sustain climates of dignity, respect and inclusion.

 USMA performed an extensive review of its club activities which include 118 athletic 

teams and non-athletic clubs. In order to perform this review, the USMA Office of 

Institutional Research developed surveys for both cadet club participants and their 

Officers-in-Charge (OICs). USMA vetted the survey through the Superintendent, Equal 

Opportunity Office, SARC and the Department of Sociology to ensure the survey 

focused on the following objectives:

• Determine whether club culture promotes or resists adherence to Army and USMA

values, and why.

• Obtain feedback from club members and OICs on how clubs contribute to cadet 

leader development.

• Gather input from survey respondents on how USMA can help improve cadets’ 

club experience. 

Survey results showed that bystander intervention needs more training and emphasis. 

 In addition to internal Army research activities, the Defense Manpower Data Center 

(DMDC) constructed a survey to assess the effectiveness of the services provided to the 

survivors/victims of sexual assault. The SES assessed the effectiveness of the services 

and resources survivors of sexual assault received. Unlike other surveys, the SES is the 

only one of its kind, designed specifically for military survivors of sexual assault. Victims 

45
who meet the criteria for participation in the SES are encouraged by a SARC/VA to 

complete the survey. The Army will further analyze results of the SES for potential 

action in FY15.

 DMDC also generated the 2014 Focus Group on Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response in response to NDAA requirements and guidance from the Secretary of 

Defense. The goal of the focus groups was to gather additional qualitative information

on sexual assault prevention and response, thereby providing insight into the strengths 

and weaknesses of the SAPR (SHARP) program. Results in this report address views 

on the perceptions of unwanted sexual contact in the military, reporting of sexual 

assault, changes in policies, command climate/culture, training and bystander 

intervention. The six topic areas addressed during the focus groups were:

• Perceptions about Unwanted Sexual Contact - Discussion of the incidence rates 

for men and women from the 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey, 

awareness of media attention on sexual assault in the military, whether the media 

attention has resulted in positive or negative changes in the military, how issues of 

sexual assault have been handled over time and recommendations for preventing 

sexual assault in the military.

• Reporting - Understanding the two options for reporting sexual assault (Restricted

and Unrestricted), potential reasons for the increase in actual reports, types and 

impact of professional and social retaliation on reporting sexual assault and the 

use of social media for social retaliation.

• Changes in Policy - Awareness of specialized attorney positions (SVC and SVP), 

expedited transfers, review of Unrestricted Reports by a senior officer and 

awareness and use of SARC/VA.

• Command Climate/Culture - What unit and senior leadership say to their members 

about sexual harassment and sexual assault, perceived relationship between 

unwanted gender-related behaviors (sexist behaviors and sexual harassment) and 

sexual assault, use of crude language, awareness of emphasis in improving 

culture, perceptions of how culture change starts and the use of social media.

• Training - Discussion of training received, examples of the most effective types of 

training, whether members learned anything about sexual assault in training this 

past year that they did not know before, perceptions of sexual assault and sexual 

harassment training as just another training requirement and recommendations for 

future training.

• Bystander Intervention - Whether members would intervene in a social situation 

when they saw potential “red flags” leading to a potential sexual assault, and 

whether members would intervene in a workplace situation when they witnessed 

inappropriate workplace behaviors.

5.5. Describe your efforts to explore the feasibility of a SARC Military 

Occupational Specialty (MOS) or restructuring of military table of organization; 

addition of skill identifiers. 

 In June, 2014, the Army SHARP Program Office initiated a 90-day SHARP MOS

study to determine the feasibility and suitability of creating a SHARP MOS. Research 

and a series of working groups culminated in a decision briefing to the Chief of Staff in 

46
September, 2014. 

 The Army determined a new MOS was not feasible due to force structure constraints 

and the inability to promote personnel in a separate career track. The Chief of Staff 

approved enhancing the Army’s expanded Skill Identifier (SI) and ASI to identify 

professionally trained SHARP personnel, in lieu of creating a separate MOS. This 

decision changed the Army’s existing skill identifier from a single SHARP SI/ASI: 1B (for 

all credentialed SHARP personnel) to two SHARP SI/ASIs: 1B (awarded to personnel 

that complete the 80-hour course) and 1H (awarded to personnel that complete the 7-

week course). 

 The Army continues to have documented table of organization positions for all fulltime (military/civilian) SHARP positions.

5.6. Describe your efforts to assess the feasibility of incorporating sexual assault 

prevention training in Family Readiness, Family Advocacy Program (FAP) and 

Substance Abuse programs to enhance FAP and SAPR collaboration and training. 

 The Army is currently developing a one-hour distance learning course designed to 

educate Family Members on the SHARP Program and available services. This training 

is scheduled to be available by July, 2015, and can be used by FAP and Substance 

Abuse programs.

 In the interim, SHARP, FAP and ASAP personnel work closely together on Army 

installations in an effort to reduce negative behaviors such as domestic violence, sexual 

assault and excessive drinking. 

5.7. Describe your plans for FY15 that pertain to synchronizing and standardizing 

the SAPR program across the Joint Force (from Joint/Service basing to forward 

stationed and deployed units worldwide).

 In accordance with existing DoD guidance, it is the Army’s position that the SHARP 

program remains a Service responsibility regardless of which Service is in charge of an 

installation. While Joint Basing may contribute to confusion among some Soldiers, the 

assignment of full-time SARC and VA personnel at the Brigade level is helping to 

alleviate this confusion.

 Reporting challenges among deployed units in a combat zone differ from those in a 

garrison environment. Maintaining confidentially of the Restricted Reporting option may 

be difficult, not only because of privacy of information, but also because command teams 

function as the support network for deployed victims. Reporting challenges faced by 

deployed units also relate to geographical dispersion, which requires adaptive measures 

to ensure reporting resources are readily available and a victim’s privacy is protected. 

Training and retaining sufficient numbers of SARC and VA personnel is essential, as are 

the conduct of monthly SARBs which help ensure proper SHARP program management 

oversight. 

 MCIOs have had a memorandum of agreement ever since Joint Bases were initiated 

that synchronized and standardized their response to and responsibilities in the 

investigation of crimes that occur on a joint base. In much the same way in deployed 

environments, CID is often designated as the primary investigative agency for crimes 

occurring on the ground, or is at least the first responding investigative agency and then 

either conducts the full investigation for the other MCIOs or hands the investigation over 

47
after the preliminary investigative response is completed. The system has worked well 

for years, especially since the investigation of sexual assaults has become relatively 

standardized through USAMPS’ SVUIC.

 The MEDCOM SHARP Program Office is a member of several Office of the Secretary 

of Defense for Health Affairs (OSD-HA) initiatives that facilitate joint level collaboration 

on the medical management of sexual assault patients. During FY14, this collaboration 

led to the publishing of MEDCOM Policy Memo 14-066, “Elective Termination of 

Pregnancy for Women who are Pregnant as a result of an Act of Rape or Incest.” In 

addition, OSD-HA is leading a joint working group to develop a Sexual Assault Guide for 

Health Care Providers.

5.8. Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

 The Army SHARP Program Office continues to collaborate with civilian organizations 

by sending representatives to a number of national conferences that focuses on sexual 

assault related topics. During FY14, Army SHARP Program Office personnel attended:

• The National Organization for Victim Advocacy Conference.

• The End Violence Against Women Conference.

• The National Center for Victims of Crime National Training Institute Conference.

• The National Sexual Assault Conference.

 These conferences gave SHARP personnel the opportunity to network with civilian 

subject matter experts in sexual assault and to get the latest ideas, feedback and 

techniques for dealing with the nationally underreported crime of sexual assault.

5.9. Describe your future plans for effectively standardizing, measuring, 

analyzing, assessing and reporting program progress.

 To fully address LOE 5 (Assessment), the Army needs an internal oversight program 

to ensure compliance and program improvement at all levels. To address this 

requirement, the Army SHARP Program Office developed a tiered oversight and 

inspection program known as the SHARP Program Review (SPR). The initial SPR 

capability will be established in 2015 as an ACOM/ASCC/DRU inspection requirement. 

SHARP Program Managers at these commands will visit their subordinate installations 

and commands to verify program compliance, gather best practices and provide 

assessments of program effectiveness. The Army SHARP Program Office will inspect 

each ACOM/ASCC/DRU in turn to verify their program effectiveness, compliance and 

oversight processes. Initially, the inspection schedule will be established as biennial 

requirements. The SPR will require quarterly updates and corrective action plans for 

identified deficiencies.

 The Army has organized the vast amount of survey, focus group and report data into 

a targeted set of metrics aligned to the DoD LOE and focused on standards and criteria 

directed in law, DoD policy and Army policy. Current data collection systems, such as 

DSAID and CID databases, will feed this compendium of data elements, while 

commanders and SHARP personnel provide periodic input. 

 The AEAC, in coordination with TRADOC, continues to review cultural issues 

associated with sexual assault in the Army. The purpose of the review is to determine 

48
which issues have training implications, and evaluate the current approach designed to 

address these issues. 

 The 2014 SES constructed by DMDC to measure the effectiveness of services and 

resources for military survivors of sexual assault will continue to be distributed 

throughout 2015 to survivors who meet the criteria for participation. The Army will 

analyze the results of the SES data as it becomes available from DMDC for potential 

action in FY15. The survey is divided into multiple topic areas:

• Awareness of Resources - Awareness of sexual assault prevention and response 

resources prior to the sexual assault.

• Reporting Process - The first person survivors spoke to about the sexual assault.

• Reporting Experience - Questions on survivor interactions with SARC/VA, Medical

and Mental Health providers. Questions on the extent to which the survivor was 

assisted with the overall process, and overall satisfaction with the SARC /VA, 

service provider, SVC and chaplain. Questions regarding survivor interactions and 

overall satisfaction with the unit commander and command. 

• General Experiences - Importance of services (medical services, mental 

health/counseling services, legal support) provided; experiences of professional 

and social retaliation as a result of reporting; whether the sexual assault occurred 

in a deployed location and based on the overall experience, whether he/she would 

recommend other survivors report their sexual assault.

• The Army also included an additional question that was only seen by Army 

members who indicated they experienced retaliation. The question addressed 

whether they experienced retaliation through social media.

5.10. Provide a response regarding victim feedback received on the effectiveness 

of SVIP prosecution and legal support services and recommendations for possible 

improvements. (Participation by victims will be voluntary and provide for 

confidentiality. Feedback mechanisms will be coordinated and standardized 

within each Military Service so victims do not have to unnecessarily complete 

multiple questionnaires. These mechanisms will be used to gain a greater 

understanding of the reasons a victim elected or declined to participate at trial and 

whether SVIP prosecution and legal support services had any positive impact on 

this decision). 

 The Army provides formal and informal mechanisms to solicit feedback from victims 

on their experience with the response and accountability systems. The feedback to date 

has been very positive. 

 Formal feedback is obtained through two anonymous surveys provided to each 

victim, the VWL evaluation form and the SES. VWL forms, sent to the Criminal Law 

Division of HQDA OTJAG, address services provided by the VWL and associated issues 

with the courts-martial process. The SES addresses victim experience and satisfaction 

with the services provided by first responders, including SVC. Initial results from the 

SES indicated that 89% of victims who made an unrestricted report were satisfied with 

the services of their SVC.

 Informal feedback is obtained through the bi-annual Chief of Staff Advisory Council 

49
and sensing sessions Army-wide. The Chief of Staff invites victims, SARCs and VAs to 

an intensive panel discussion with him CSA and several primary HQDA staff members. 

Multiple initiatives have been implemented as a result of these councils, most notably the 

Chief of Staff’s decision to establish a schoolhouse for SARCs/VAs at Fort Leavenworth, 

Kansas with an expanded curriculum focused more heavily on advocacy skills. Further, 

as senior leaders (e.g., Secretary, Chief of Staff and the Sergeant Major of the Army)

travel across Army installations, they hold sensing sessions with Soldiers, including 

victims, to assess the SHARP program.

 SJAs, SARCs/VAs and VWLs receive unsolicited letters, emails and phone calls from 

victims and their families who express gratitude for the efforts of Army personnel. More 

than 150 of these testimonials, collected informally at HQDA OTJAG, provide a sense of 

the compassionate, dedicated care and advocacy that Army first responders and 

attorneys have provided. Victim care and attention to victim needs has been at the core 

of the training for the Army's SVP program. As a result, only 5% of our victims have 

declined to cooperate with continued investigation or prosecution after initially reporting 

a sexual assault.

6. Overarching Tenet: Communication and Policy

6.1. Describe your efforts to post and widely disseminate sexual assault 

information (e.g., SAFE Helpline, hotline phone numbers and internet websites) to 

Service members, eligible dependents and civilian personnel of the DoD. 

 The Army developed and printed SHARP marketing materials for Soldiers, Family 

Members and Army Civilians. All marketing materials contain the contact phone number 

and website address for the DoD Safe Helpline. The materials are distributed to 1.3 

million members of the Total Army Family. The DoD Safe Helpline and the Army’s 

Sexual Harassment Hotline are also prominently displayed on the SHARP websites, 

www.preventsexualassault.army.mil and www.army.mil/sharp. 

 All Army units are required to post the DoD Safe Helpline and a local 24/7 hotline 

number on all websites and locally-produced electronic and printed marketing materials. 

The Army has gone to great lengths to ensure this information reaches all members of 

the Army Family to ensure they know how to reach someone if they are the victim of a 

sexual assault or want information about the services/support available through the Army 

SHARP Program and/or the DoD Safe Helpline.

 Additionally, commands throughout the Army employ the following to disseminate 

SHARP Program and DoD SAFE Helpline information:

• Post signage in work areas, living quarters, recreation facilities and any high traffic 

areas. 

• Incorporate SHARP into Family Readiness Group events and Newcomer 

orientations in an effort to increase Family Member awareness of SHARP 

resources. 

• Distribute SHARP Media Updates to commanders and SHARP personnel so they 

can more effectively respond to questions about media related issues. 

• Issue SHARP Touch Cards at in-processing and training events. 

6.2. Provide updates on your development and implementation of specialized 

50
medical and mental health care policy for sexual assault victims. If applicable, 

provide a copy of your updated implementation plan in the appendix. 

 As stated previously in Section 4.17, each patient (sexual assault victim) and their 

healthcare team work together to develop a long-term care plan tailored to meet the 

individual’s medical and behavioral healthcare needs. 

 The Army’s policy for the medical care of sexual assault victims is documented in 

MEDCOM Regulation 40-36 (Medical Facility Management of Sexual Assault). This 

publication, along with Army SAMFE Leading Standard and Army SAMFE Certification,

are currently under revision/development to outline SAMFE training, competency 

verification and the updated role and training for the SAMMO.

6.3. Describe your ongoing efforts to review, revise, update and issue policy 

pertaining to:

- The record of dispositions of Unrestricted Reports.

- General education for correction of military records when victims 

experience retaliation.

 The Army requires commanders receiving CID reports for action to complete a DA 

Form 4833 (Commanders Report of Disciplinary or Administrative Action) and return it to 

CID. The results of action taken by a commander are filed with the CID investigation 

report and are retained for 50 years. Since 2003, the results of action taken by 

commanders have also been entered into the CID investigative database so that the 

results are retrievable. The requirement for commanders to report the results of action 

taken are codified in AR 195-2 (Criminal Investigative Activities). 

 When victims are retaliated against for making a sexual assault complaint, CID is 

required by DoDI 5505.18 (Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault in the Department of 

Defense) to investigate all threats made against the victim. 

 Additionally, SVCs advise and represent victims in the full range of legal issues 

stemming from a report of sexual assault, including allegations of retaliation. SVCs also 

assist victims in obtaining relief through the correction of military records.

 The Army enhanced awareness of the availability of assistance for correction of 

military records by highlighting the services provided by the Army Review Boards 

Agency. ARBA is a featured link on the Army SHARP public website.

6.5. Describe your efforts to sustain policy for General or Flag officer review of 

and concurrence in adverse administrative actions and separation of victims 

making an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault in FY14.

 AR 600-20 requires commanders, when initiating an administrative separation on any 

Soldier, for any reason (voluntary or involuntary), to include documentation in the 

separation packet that positively identifies the Soldier as having been, or not having 

been, a victim of sexual assault. This documentation is in the form of a memorandum, 

signed by the Soldier or the commander initiating the separation, stating:

• Whether the Soldier was or was not a victim of sexual assault for which an 

Unrestricted Report was filed within the past 24 months.

• Whether the Soldier does or does not believe that this separation action is a direct 

or indirect result of the sexual assault itself or the filing of the Unrestricted Report, 

51
if the above is true.

 AR 600-20 also requires that commanders serving as a SPCMCA or General CourtMartial Convening Authority (GCMCA) must review all administrative separation actions 

involving victims of sexual assault identified above. The review must consider the 

following: 

• If the separation appears to be in retaliation for the Soldier filing an Unrestricted 

Report of sexual assault. If so, the commander must consult with the servicing 

office of the SJA or other legal office.

• If the separation involves a medical condition that is related to the sexual assault, 

to include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If so, the commander must consult with 

the appropriate medical personnel.

• If the separation is in the best interests of the Army, the Soldier, or both. If not, the 

commander must consult with the servicing SJA.

• The status of the case against the alleged offender, and the effect of the Soldier’s 

(victim’s) separation on the disposition or prosecution of the case. If the case is 

still open, the commander must consult the servicing CID unit and SJA.

 The Army also addresses this requirement in AR 635-200 (Active Duty Enlisted 

Administrative Separations) and AR 600-8-24 (Officer Transfers and Discharges).

These standards are trained at the pre-command, SOLO, and GOLO courses.

7. Secretary of Defense Initiatives

7.1. Enhancing Commander Accountability—Describe your progress in 

developing methods of assessing commander effectiveness in establishing 

command climates of dignity and respect. Include efforts made by your Service to 

incorporate SAPR prevention and victim care principles in their commands, and 

efforts made to hold them accountable. 

 As previously stated, AR 623-3 requires all officers and NCOs to include goals

and objectives in their respective Evaluation Support Forms regarding their 

commitment to eliminate sexual harassment and assault and to foster climates of

dignity and respect in their units. Accordingly, the rating official must assess how well 

the rated officer or NCO fostered a climate of dignity and respect and adhered to the 

tenets of the SHARP Program. This assessment should identify,as appropriate, any

significant actions or contributions the rated officer or NCO made toward:

• Promoting the personal and professional development of his or her

subordinates.

• Ensuring the fair, respectful treatment of assigned personnel.

• Establishing a workplace and overall command climate that fosters dignity and 

respect for all members of the group.

 The regulation also requires all raters and senior raters to document in the rated 

officer or NCO’s evaluation, any substantiated finding that the officer or NCO committed 

an act of sexual harassment or sexual assault, failed to report an incident of sexual 

harassment or assault, failed to respond to a reported incident or retaliated against a 

person for reporting an incident.

52
7.2. Ensuring Safety—Describe your efforts, policies, and/or programmatic 

changes undertaken to improve SAPR training for members of the military serving 

in recruiting organizations, Military Entrance Processing Stations and the Reserve 

Officer Training Corps. Include measures taken by your Service to select, train, 

and oversee recruiters, disseminate SAPR program information to potential and 

actual recruits and how your Service has incorporated SAPR program information 

in ROTC environments and curricula. 

 The Army has taken the following steps to improve the safety of our population of 

new and aspiring Soldiers: 

• Effectiveness of Recruiting Organizations. 

- Selection and Oversight of Recruiters. The Army’s Personnel Suitability 

Screening Policy requires that supervisory personnel, such as recruiters, drill 

sergeants and AIT platoon sergeants, are subjected to enhanced screening. 

This enhanced screening includes a review of Restricted Personnel files, IG 

files, Family Advocacy files and background investigation data. Mandatory 

additional screening for IMT personnel and recruiters includes a review of the 

DoJ Sex Offender Registry, Army Substance Abuse Program records, and a 

local police check. 

- SHARP Training for Recruiters. The Army requires specialized training for its 

recruiters which includes extensive instruction on roles and responsibilities of 

recruiters in addressing sexual assault; instruction on techniques for 

establishing a climate that prevents harassment and assault, as well as 

responding to and protecting the rights and privacy of victims; and instruction 

on detecting indicators that may signal abuse of power, sexual assault, or 

unprofessional relationships. In addition, recruiters conduct periodic small 

group, vignette-based training throughout their life-cycle in USAREC.

• Dissemination of SHARP Program Information to Potential and Actual Recruits. 

- USAREC has excellent SHARP training that is required for all Future Soldiers. 

The training, conducted by the Recruiting Center Leader and another 

Recruiter, is in a small group setting and provides a basic understanding of 

sexual harassment/assault, as well as information about unauthorized 

relationships between Recruiters and Future Soldiers. It is scenario-based to 

enhance learning through interactive training.

- In addition, SHARP Program information and awareness materials (touch 

cards, brochures, posters, etc.) are provided to the Military Entrance 

Processing Centers and Reception Battalions. 

• ROTC Programs. 

- Education and Curricula. Three hours of SHARP instruction is included in the 

BOLC-A curriculum. This leader-facilitated training is supplemented by a webbased training program entitled “SHARP Training;” targeted awareness 

materials and scenario training titled ‘Sex Rules;’ and the interactive ‘Sex 

Signals’ training. 

 “SHARP Training” is a facilitated course conducted by Professors of 

53
Military Science (PMS) and augmented by web-based self-study. The 

training focuses on the SHARP Program, survivor testimonials, 

prevention methods and victim support services. The self-study training 

provides integrated and gender-segregated training in a peer-to-peer 

model. The PMS adjusts the facilitated training based on the attitude 

and behavioral challenges identified in the web-based training. 

 In ‘Sex Rules’ training, the Army uses a set of ten Sex Rules which 

break down the elements of sexual harassment and sexual assault and 

define them in simple, relatable terms. By linking each Sex Rule to an 

Army Value, the scenario-based training helps establish the social 

behavior expected of all Soldiers, which is reinforced with 

accompanying awareness materials.

 ‘Sex Signals’ training is a live, two-person, audience-interactive 

production. This 90-minute interactive program includes skits dealing 

with dating, consent, rape, body language, gender relations, alcohol 

use and intervention. This training is presented during ROTC Summer 

Camps and at USMA. 

- Prevention and oversight. The USACC SHARP Program Manager conducts 

periodic staff assistance visits throughout the eight brigade areas to assist 

SHARP personnel in program compliance and training. In addition, each 

brigade conducts SHARP Organizational Inspection Program visits to each of 

their subordinate programs. USACC conducts quarterly SHARP refresher 

training with Brigade SHARP personnel via video-teleconference to share 

lessons learned and updates to the program. 

7.3. Evaluate Commander SAPR Training—Describe your progress in developing 

core competencies and learning objectives for Pre-Command and Senior Enlisted 

Leader SAPR training. If your Service has completed an assessment of newly 

established core competencies and learning objectives, explain findings and 

recommendations. 

 The U.S. Army School for Command Preparation (SCP) provides a holistic approach 

in educating senior leaders by providing presentations from senior Army leaders and

conducting small group seminars focused on leader/leadership responsibilities. Seminar 

topics include: Leader Identity, Building Trust, Ethical Decision-Making, Developing a 

Positive Environment, Army Profession, Promote and Safeguard (SHARP), Developing 

Leaders and Developing Vision and Leading Change. 

 The Army leader attribute “Character” and competencies “Leads” and “Develops” are 

themes woven into all the Pre-Command/Command Sergeants Major Course small 

group seminar lessons and discussions, during which:

• The DAIG addresses SHARP investigations and accountability.

• The Provost Marshal General addresses Sexual Assault, Sex Crimes, and third 

persona (private persona).

• The Army G-1 addresses SHARP as a top priority in the Army.

• The TJAG addresses commander legal responsibilities

54
 The “Promote and Safeguard/Operationalizing SHARP” class is 4-hours in duration, 

exceeding the DoD SAPRO recommended 2-hour block with an instructor-to-student 

ratio of 1:16. The learning outcomes for this class are for leaders to: understand the 

different types of threats unique to their operational environment, visualize end-states 

and approaches to minimize those threats and direct/lead the solutions. Specifically, this 

class:

• Incorporates the Army SHARP Program Office lesson plan.

• Provides ample opportunities for students to discuss their understanding of their 

leadership responsibilities related to sexual assault and for the instructor to 

address misconceptions, point out potential biases, and pose questions for student 

reflection and application of learning.

• Presents a video of the Chief of Staff discussing the SHARP Program and 

commanders’ role in building and upholding an environment of trust.

• Presents a video of Mr. Russell Strand discussing perpetrator characteristics and 

tactics, victim behaviors and issues in investigation of assaults.

• Presents a video of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez providing remarks on 

sexual assault in the military (Prevention, Prosecution, Protection).

• Requires the following readings: Unit Commander’s Guide and Commander’s 

Sexual Assault Victim Assistance Checklist; Strategic Direction to the Joint Force 

on SAPR; AR 600-20 (Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Appendix D and Appendix H).

 On March 5, 2014, DoD SAPRO deployed a two-person team of military personnel 

and training experts to review Army SHARP training in PCC. SHARP experts assessed 

five areas: Sexual Assault in the Military, Prevention, Advocacy and Response, 

Investigations and Accountability and SAPR Program Leadership. The assessment 

found SCP meets the training standards contained in DoDI 6495.02 and the Core 

Competencies and Learning Objectives developed with the Service and promulgated by 

USD (P&R) in September, 2013.

7.4. Develop Collaborative Forum for Sexual Assault Prevention Methods—

Describe your implementation plan and methods for establishing a community of 

practice and collaboration forum to share best and promising practices and 

lessons learned with external experts, federal partners, Military Services, NGB 

advocacy organizations and educational institutions. 

 The Army SHARP Program Office developed a SHARP Community of Practice 

collaborative site for use by Army SHARP professionals to access information, share 

ideas and discuss topics of interest to the entire community. Additionally, the Army 

developed a Commanders’ Best Practices site where commanders can access 

information to better facilitate the implementation of their SHARP programs at the local 

level. 

 Also, SHARP developed a series of webinars designed for SHARP professionals and 

the Army’s internal/external partners. These webinars allow the Army to obtain the 

latest, most up-to-date information from nationally-recognized subject matter experts and 

spark a dialogue within the SHARP community and among Army, DoD and nongovernmental organizations on how best to address sexual assault/harassment.

55
7.5. Improving Response & Victim Treatment—Describe your efforts to improve 

overall victim care and trust in the chain of command. Include updates or 

initiatives undertaken by your Service to reduce the possibility of ostracizing 

victims, to increase reporting and measures your Service has taken to account for 

victim input in these efforts. 

 In addition to the publication of Army Directive 2014-20 (Prohibition of Retaliation 

Against Soldiers for Reporting a Criminal Offense), the Army undertook the following 

initiatives designed to improve victim treatment: 

• Improved and expanded the training program for full-time SARCs and VAs through 

the SHARP Academy.

• Established a fully operational SVC program.

• Evaluated leaders’ commitment to foster climates of dignity and respect.

• Established an expedited transfer policy for reassignment of victims. 

 In June 2013, the Chief of Staff initiated the SHARP Advisory Panel (which included 

sexual assault victims) to advise Army senior leadership on the improvement of policies, 

programs and services that impact victims of sexual assault. The panel, a forum hosted 

by the Chief of Staff, provides unfiltered feedback from company level NCOs and junior 

Soldiers. The Chief of Staff conducted two subsequent SHARP Advisory Panels during 

2014. Victim feedback during these sessions highlighted areas needing improvement in 

the SHARP Program, including:

• More training for SARCs and VAs, which resulted in the Chief of Staff’s order to 

establish the SHARP Academy.

• Reduce “PowerPoint” method of unit training, which led to Army-wide “Got Your 

Back” training.

• A review of the impact of medical screening of sexual assault victims for

qualification for future assignments (e.g., Drill Sergeant or Recruiter, etc).

7.6. Enhancing Protections—Describe your efforts to update policies allowing for 

the administrative reassignment or expedited transfer of a member who is 

accused of committing a sexual assault or related offense. Include your Service’s 

efforts to account for both the interests of the victim and the accused. 

 Army Directive 2011-19 requires commanders to consider a number of factors in 

determining whether a transfer or reassignment of the victim is appropriate and, if so, the 

lowest level of transfer or reassignment that would meet both the needs of the victim and 

the Army. Among those factors are the alleged offender's status (Soldier or civilian), and 

the potential transfer or reassignment of the alleged offender instead of the victim. 

Commanders are required to take reasonable steps to prevent a transfer or 

reassignment from negatively impacting the victim's career to the extent practicable. 

Prior to approving a request, the commander shall ensure the victim is fully informed 

regarding reasonably foreseeable impacts on his/her career, the potential impact of the 

transfer or reassignment on the investigation and potential prosecution or initiation of 

other adverse action against the alleged offender, or any other possible consequences 

of granting the request.

56
 CID supports the current system by verifying with HRC that an individual identified for 

or requesting an expedited transfer is involved in an Unrestricted Report.

7.7. Improving Victim Legal Support—Describe your efforts to establish a special 

victim’s advocacy program that provides legal advice and representation for 

victims of sexual assault. Include your Service’s measures of effectiveness for 

this program, as well as efforts made to collaborate and share best practices with 

other services. 

 As discussed previously in Section 3.2, the Army’s SVC Program has been a 

complete success for victims. The Army maintains approximately 78 specially trained 

judge advocates serving as SVCs in the Active Component; 75 in the Army Reserve and 

47 in the Army National Guard. By the end of FY14, SVCs served more than 1,700 

client victims, conducted approximately 8,000 consultations with clients and attended 

more than 360 courts-martial.

 The Army SVC Program Manager meets every six weeks with the Program Managers 

from the other Services to share best practices and emerging issues and confer regularly 

on pressing concerns. 

 The Army SVC Program Manager conducts monthly video-teleconferences with SVC 

to evaluate the program and share lessons learned. The Army is also developing metrics 

to for the success of the SVC Program as the program matures. Metrics will include, but

are not limited to: the number of SVCs trained and certified, clients served, services 

provided and feedback from victim surveys using the SES.

7.8. Develop Standardized and Voluntary Survey for Victims and Survivors—

Describe your progress in developing and participating in a standardized victim 

survey. List efforts made jointly with other Services and Departments to regularly 

administer the standardized victim survey in such a way that protects victim 

privacy and does not adversely impact victim legal and health status. 

 In response to the Secretary of Defense directive to improve the services provided to 

survivors of sexual assault, DMDC in coordination with DoD SAPRO and the Services 

developed the 2014 SES. 

 As noted in Section 5.9, this anonymous and voluntary survey assesses satisfaction 

with services and resources that survivors of sexual assault recently received or used. 

Eligible survivors are those who made reports of sexual assault of any form (Restricted 

or Unrestricted), ranging from a penetrating crime like rape to a contact crime like 

abusive sexual contact. Eligibility criteria include assaults that victims experienced prior 

to entry into military service. The criteria for participation are current military members, 

18 years or older, who made a Restricted or Unrestricted Report of sexual assault after 

October 1, 2013. 

 SARCs have the primary responsibility to offer the SES to all survivors who meet the 

eligibility criteria. Eligibility is determined by a SARC who then contacts the survivor and 

encourages them to take-part in the survey.

57
Part 2 - U.S. Army Statistical Report Data Call: Reported Sexual 

Assaults for the Period October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014

1. Analytic Discussion

1.1. Provide an analytic discussion of your Service’s Statistical Report. This 

section should include such information as:

• Notable changes in the data since FY13 (in percentages) and other time 

periods (at least FY12, FY13 and FY14), as appropriate.

• Insight or suspected reasons for noted changes, or lack of change, in data

• Implications the data may have for programmatic planning, oversight, 

and/or research

• How reports of sexual assault compliment your Service’s scientifically 

conducted surveys during FY13 or FY14 (if any)

• Prevalence vs. reporting (the percentage of Service member incidents 

captured in reports of sexual assault (Restricted Reports and Unrestricted 

Reports) (Metric #2)

• Total number of Sexual Assaults (Restricted Reports and Unrestricted 

Reports) over time (Metric #12)

• Other (Please explain)

 As displayed in Figure 2-1 below, there were 2,199 Unrestricted Reports and 407

Restricted Reports of sexual assault in the Army during FY14. The total number of 

reports (Restricted and Unrestricted) increased 12% from FY13. The number of Service 

member (SM) victims increased 18% and equates to 4.1 SM victims per 1,000 active 

duty Soldiers, compared to 3.3 per 1,000 in FY13 and 2.3 per 1,000 in FY12. The FY14 

number of SM victims and the FY14 rate per 1,000 are both the highest recorded since 

the Army began keeping these statistics.

2: Includes only SM victims in Restricted and Unrestricted Reports for incidents occurring while in the military.

3: Used as number of Unrestricted Reports prior to FY14. May include multiple victims or subjects. Source: CID

 NOTE: FY14 is the first full year using the DSAID as the source for sexual assault data. Designated 

Army SARCs entered sexual assault case data into DSAID based on information received directly from 

victims, information provided by a VA and/or information from CID investigators. Subject and case 

58
disposition data populates DSAID from a system interface with the Army’s Automated Criminal 

Investigation/Criminal Intelligence (ACI2) system and manual entry by SARCs and HQDA OTJAG through 

the DSAID Legal Officer module. The Army continues to work with its DSAID users and DoD to improve 

reporting using an aggressive quality control process. 

 The Army believes the increase in the number of reports of sexual assault since 

FY12 does not equate to an increase in actual assaults. The unprecedented priority 

placed on sexual assault prevention and response by Army leaders since FY12 has 

seemingly encouraged victims, who previously were reluctant, to come forward and 

report. This conclusion is supported by current survey data estimating the prevalence 

of sexual assault in the Army. The primary source for estimating the prevalence of 

sexual assault in the military was the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active 

Duty Members (WGRA), previously conducted by DMDC in 2006, 2010 and 2012.

from the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, which replicated the WGRA. This FY14 

data, combined with the increase in reports per 1,000 (from 2.3/1000 in FY12 to 

4.1/1000 in FY14), significantly narrows the gap between prevalence and reporting. As 

a result, 24% of Soldiers who responded that they experienced "unwanted sexual 

contact" in the FY14 survey actually reported the incident, compared to 14% in FY12. 

 Although the FY14 data shows improvement, the Army's prevention efforts still 

require continued emphasis and leader engagement. To that end, the initiatives 

described in this report are intended to enhance sexual assault prevention efforts and 

facilitate increased leader engagement. As these initiatives mature, the Army will 

assess their effectiveness and make necessary changes to reduce prevalence and 

increase reporting.

2. Unrestricted Reporting 

2.1. Victim Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as:

• Type of offenses 

• Demographic trends

• Service referrals

• Experiences in Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

• Military Protective Orders issued as a result of an Unrestricted Report (e.g., 

number issued, number violated)

• Approved expedited transfers and reasons why transfers were not 

approved

• The number of victims declining to participate in the military justice 

process (Metric #8)

• Others (Please explain)

 Figure 2-3 shows the breakout of victims (Service members and Non-Service 

members) and each type of sexual assault offense for Unrestricted Reports in FY14. 

Excluding attempts and cases where the offense code was not available, DSAID data 

shows the proportion of assaults that were the more serious penetrative offenses 

(specifically rape, aggravated sexual assault/sexual assault and forcible sodomy) was 

43% in FY14, compared to 55% in both FY12 and FY13. This proportion was 66% in 

FY11. However, CID investigation data shows the penetrative rate at 48% for FY14, 

still a decrease from FY12 and FY13. This trend may suggest that Soldiers are 

increasingly recognizing the non-penetrative (“unwanted touching”) offenses as criminal 

behavior that can and should be addressed.

1: Does not include Restricted Reports from previous years that converted to Unrestricted in FY14.

 Figure 2-3: Victim Status by Offense Type (FY14 Unrestricted Reports)

 Some demographic trends have remained consistent over the past few years. For 

example, 80% of Army victims in FY14 completed investigations were E1-E4; compared 

to 83% in FY12 and FY13. Also in FY14, 68% of victims in completed investigations 

were 24 years old or younger. This is higher than FY12 and FY13 (both 64%), however 

60
DSAID data cites “unknown age” for 13% of victims in completed investigations. CID 

data shows that 64% of victims in FY14 in completed investigations were 24 years old 

or younger, identical to FY13 and FY12. 

 One noticeable change is the percentage of Service member victims in all 

Unrestricted Reports who were male. This percentage increased to 27% in FY14, 

compared to 18% in FY13 and 17% in FY12. This appears to show that the Army’s goal 

to reduce the stigma of reporting is having a positive effect. 

 Victims in reported sexual assaults in CAI continued to be older and of higher rank 

than victims in Army-wide cases. Specifically, only 63% (FY12/13=74%) of Army 

victims in CAI reported cases in FY14 were E1-E4, compared to 80% of victims Armywide. Similarly, 47% of victims in CAI reports were 24 years old or younger 

(FY13=48%), compared to 68% Army-wide. 

 Commanders issued 292 MPOs in FY14. Four were reported to have been violated 

by subjects (FY13=93 issued/0 violated; FY12=189/0). 

 HRC processed 296 PCS expedited transfer requests in FY14, six were denied. 

Two Soldiers were pending UCMJ action, two were pending separation for unrelated 

misconduct and two were under investigation for unrelated misconduct. The 

Commanding General, HRC made the final decision in each denial. (FY13=192 

requests/1 denied; FY12=66/0).

 Additionally, Army commands reported 20 Soldiers requested expedited unit 

transfers (to remain on their current installation). None of these requests were denied. 

(FY13=38/0 denied; FY12=20/2).

 The percentage of victims who declined to participate in the military justice process, 

precluding any command action (Metric #8) for subjects where evidence supported 

command action, has steadily decreased from 7% in FY12 to 6% in FY13 to 4% in 

FY14.

2.2. Subject Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as: 

• Demographic trends

• Disposition trends

• Experiences in CAI

• Command action for Military Subjects under DoD Legal Authority (to be 

captured using the most serious crime charged (Non-Metric #1)

• Sexual Assault Court-Martial Outcomes (to be captured using the most 

serious crime charged) (Non-Metric #2)

• Other (Please explain)

 Data regarding alleged offenders continue to show similar trends. Identified alleged 

offenders were 95% male in FY14; compared to 97% in FY12 and FY13. Also, 42% of 

known alleged offenders in FY14 were 24 years old or younger; compared to 41% in 

FY13 and 42% in FY12. However, the percentage of alleged offenders who were E1-

E4 decreased to 52% in FY14, compared to 57% in FY13 and 59% in each year from 

FY09-FY12. 

 Subjects in reported sexual assaults in CAI during FY14 also tended to be older and 

61
higher rank than subjects in Army-wide cases. Specifically, 27% of Army subjects in 

FY14 CAI (FY13=19%, FY12=36%) reported cases were E1-E4 compared to 52% of 

subjects Army-wide. Similarly, 29% of known subjects in CAI reports were 24 years old 

or younger (FY13=13%, FY12=27%), compared to 42% in Army-wide reports.

 Figure 2-4 shows the breakout of subjects (alleged offenders) and each type of 

sexual assault investigation completed during FY14 for Unrestricted Reports. Excluding 

attempts and cases where the offense code was not available, the proportion of FY14 

cases with Service member subjects was 80%, unchanged from FY13 and slightly lower 

than 84% in FY12 cases. The percentage of unidentified offenders in FY14 was 15%, 

also unchanged from FY13, but slightly more than 12% in FY12.

 Figure 2-4: Offender Status by Assault Type (FY14 Unrestricted Cases)

 A commander is not limited to a single disposition choice and may employ more than 

one disciplinary tool, including administrative actions, to fully address an allegation. The 

disposition of any offense depends on the unique facts and circumstances of the 

allegation. Commanders, upon the advice of judge advocates, must use independent 

judgment to determine the appropriate level of disposition.

 The authority to dispose of a “penetrative” offense (an allegation of rape, sexual 

assault or forcible sodomy) is withheld to the SPCMCA at the O-6 (Colonel) level, with a 

servicing legal advisor. The authority to dispose of a “non-penetrative” offense (an 

allegation of aggravated sexual contact or abusive sexual contact) is withheld to the O-5 

(Lieutenant Colonel) level who also receives advice from a legal advisor. The time it 

takes to make a disposition decision depends on many factors, including the complexity 

of the allegation, the availability of evidence, continued investigation, cooperation of 

victims and witnesses and coordination with civilian authorities. 

 Disposition data trends (illustrated in Figure 2-5 below) continue to reflect a healthy 

judicial system, in which commanders employ the wide spectrum of disciplinary tools 

available to address misconduct, from an unwanted touch over the clothing to a forcible 

rape. While the number of courts-martial continues to increase, the Army has 

maintained conviction rates ranging from 75-80%. 

62
 Note: FY14 is the first year that disposition data is reported using DSAID. The Army 

continues to verify results with an aggressive quality control process.

 Figure 2-5: Percent of Subjects Considered by Commanders for Action (FY09-FY14)

 Although the format of this report requires the Army to place each allegation into a 

single disposition category, the explanations provided below reflect that several 

disposition categories may be appropriate for a single allegation.

 Using the data produced by DSAID, there were 1,054 allegations of sexual assault, 

ranging from rape to indecent assault, ready for disposition decisions in FY14. (This 

includes allegations from cases opened in previous years completed in FY14). Of 

these 1,054 allegations: 

• 473 allegations were disposed of through the preferral of court-martial charges for

a sexual assault offense.

• 81 allegations were disposed of through an involuntary, adverse administrative

discharge of the subject. Of those subjects, 21 were also given non-judicial

punishment, with reductions in rank, forfeiture in pay, extra duty and restriction,

prior to separation.

• 199 allegations were disposed of through non-judicial punishment, including 37

which also resulted in an administrative discharge. Each of these 199 offenses

involved a non-penetrative sexual assault offense, the vast majority an unwanted

touch over the clothing. No penetrative offense (rape, aggravated sexual assault,

sexual assault or forcible sodomy) was disposed of with non-judicial punishment.

• 73 allegations were disposed of through other adverse administrative actions. 

Each one of these offenses involved a non-penetrative sexual assault, the vast 

majority an unwanted touch over the clothing. No penetrative offense was 

disposed of with an adverse administrative action.

• 112 allegations provided probable cause only for a non-sexual assault offense. In 

each of these allegations, there was insufficient evidence to establish guilt beyond 

a reasonable doubt of the founded sexual assault offense. Subsequently, 

commanders took punitive action for a non-sexual assault offense, such as 

adultery, fraternization or indecent acts. In 14 of these cases, court-martial 

charges were preferred. In 18 of these cases, the subject was administratively 

discharged for the non-sexual assault offense. In 56 of these cases, the subject 

was given non-judicial punishment and in 24 cases the subject was given other 

adverse administrative actions. 

• 44 allegations were complicated by the refusal of the victim to cooperate in a 

military justice action. Without the cooperation of the victim in these cases, the 

Army was unable to take any punitive actions against the subject.

• 5 allegations involved an expired statute of limitations.

• 67 allegations were determined to have insufficient evidence of any offense. 

Although allegations made against the offender met the lower standard for titling 

in a criminal investigation, there was insufficient evidence to legally prove those 

elements beyond a reasonable doubt and proceed with a military justice action.

 In addition to the 1,054 allegations, there were 179 allegations that could not be 

disposed of by the Army:

• 86 allegations involved an unknown subject.

• 10 allegations involved a subject who was deceased or had deserted.

• 42 allegations were disposed of by a civilian or foreign authority because the 

accused was not subject to the jurisdiction of the military. 

• 41 allegations were disposed of by a civilian or foreign authority although the 

accused was subject to the jurisdiction of the Army. In these cases, all of which 

occurred outside the limits of a military installation, the civilian authority served as 

the primary investigative agency and determined the allegation merited charges.

2.3. Reporting Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as:

• Trends in descriptive information about Unrestricted Reports (e.g., Did 

more reported incidents occur on/off installation?)

• Investigations

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

 The Unrestricted Reports discussed above represent sexual assault incidents 

reported during FY14 in which either the victim or alleged offender was a Service 

member, but neither was a juvenile. CID thoroughly investigates each Unrestricted 

Report and records the findings, regardless if the case is later determined to be 

64
unfounded. 

 While other jurisdictions may dispose of reports of sexual assault before opening an 

investigation, the Army’s practice is to formally investigate every allegation. Although 

this practice may contribute to a seemingly higher number of cases and higher number 

of unfounded allegations, it demonstrates the Army’s commitment to thoroughly 

investigate reports of sexual assault. 

 The average completion time for sexual assault investigations closed by CID in FY14 

was 129 days (median=106 days), compared to 109 days in FY13 and 80 days in FY12. 

This increase is not indicative of a negative finding. Each case is unique and the 

amount of time it takes to complete an investigation is dependent on several factors, 

including: type of complaint, delays in reporting the incident, amount of physical 

evidence and cooperation of witnesses. Also, the greater number of cases reported to 

CID in FY13 and FY14 affects the timeliness of completing investigations. As a result, 

729 of the 1,926 investigations initiated by CID during FY14 were pending completion at 

the end of the fiscal year (FY13=793 pending of 1,831; FY12=379 of 1,249).

 Overall, 65% of Unrestricted Reports (FY13=64%; FY12=68%) occurred on a military 

installation, compared to 92% in the CAI.

3. Restricted Reporting 

3.1. Victim Data Discussion. This section should include such information as: 

• Demographics trends

• Service referrals

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

 During FY14, the Army recorded 509 Restricted Reports, of which 102 reports later 

changed to Unrestricted, leaving 407 reports that remained Restricted (FY13=364-46; 

FY12=227-53). This includes 22 Restricted Reports in the CAI (FY13=40; FY12=13), of 

which two reports later changed to Unrestricted (for a net of 20 Restricted Reports) 

(FY13=2; FY12=1). 

 Unlike previous years, victims filing a Restricted Report in FY14 were 24 years old or 

younger at a comparable percentage to victims filing an Unrestricted Report. 

Specifically, 66% of Restricted Report victims were 24 years old or younger 

(FY13=57%, FY12=52%), compared to 68% in Unrestricted Reports (FY13=64%, 

FY12=65%).

3.2. Reporting Data Discussion. This section should include such information as: 

• Trends in descriptive information about Restricted Reports (e.g., Did more 

reported incidents occur on/off installation)

• Trends in Restricted Reporting conversions

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

 There are some similarities between Restricted and Unrestricted reports. For 

example, most reports (Restricted and Unrestricted) occurred on Friday, Saturday or 

Sunday. The limited number of reports in the CAI did not yield definitive trends.

 There were also some notable contrasts between Restricted and Unrestricted 

65
reports. Only 47% of Restricted Reports were for alleged assaults that reportedly 

occurred on a military installation (FY13=37%; FY12=30%), compared to 65% for 

Unrestricted Reports (FY13=64%; FY12=68%). 

 Also, 29% of Restricted Reports (for which data was available) were reported more 

than a year after the incident (FY13=23%), compared to only 16% of Unrestricted 

Reports (FY13=14%). Victims who reported a sexual assault in FY14 that occurred 

prior to their military service were much more likely to do so with a Restricted Report. 

Of the 76 reported in FY14 (FY13=116), 43 were Restricted Reports (FY13=94). 

4. Service Referrals for Victims of Sexual Assault 

4.1. Unrestricted Report Referral Data Discussion. This section should include 

such information as: 

• Summary of referral data 

• CAI referral data

• Discussion of any trends of interest identified in referral data

• Other (Please explain)

 Service members receiving victim services for Unrestricted Reports continue to use 

military facilities more often than civilian facilities. The percent of victim services 

performed at military facilities increased from 75% in FY12 to 85% in FY13 to 95% in 

FY14. 

 There were 33 victims who received services for an incident that occurred prior to 

joining the military, compared to 22 in FY13 and 16 in FY12. 

 Additionally, there were 164 SAFE exams conducted for Unrestricted Reports, 

compared to 136 in FY13 and 168 in FY12. 

 Nearly all (99%) services for victims in FY14 Unrestricted Reports in CAI were 

performed with military resources, compared to 91% in FY13 and 84% in FY12. There 

was one SAFE exam conducted in CAI during FY14 for an Unrestricted Report, 

compared to eight exams in FY13 and two in FY12.

4.2. Restricted Report Referral Data Discussion. This section should include 

such information as: 

• Summary of referral data 

• CAI referral data

• Discussion of any trends of interest identified in referral data

• Other (Please explain)

 97% of Service members receiving victim services related to Restricted Reports of 

sexual assault in FY14 did so in military facilities; compared to 81% in FY13 and only 

70% in FY12. These services included 38 SAFE exams for FY14 Restricted Reports; 

compared to 61 in FY13 and 38 in FY12. 

 Most victims receiving services related to Restricted Reports of sexual assault in CAI 

during FY14 did so in military facilities. There were no SAFE exams conducted in CAI 

during FY14; compared to four in FY13.

4.3. Service Referrals for Non-Military Victims Data Discussion. This section 

should include such information as:

• Summary of referral data

66
• CAI referral data

• Discussion of any trends of interest identified in referral data

• Other (Please explain)

 Most (84%) services provided to non-Service member victims in FY14 were 

performed using military resources, compared to 76% in FY13 and 64% in FY12. 

These services included 33 SAFE exams for non-military victims (six Restricted and 27

Unrestricted Reports); compared to 66 in FY13 and 45 in FY12.

 Two non-military victims received services in the CAI during FY14, compared to one 

in FY13 and none in FY12. 

5. Additional Items

5.1. Military Justice Process/Investigative Process Discussion. This section 

should include such information as: 

• Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD Form 2910 to the date that 

a sentence is imposed or accused is acquitted (Non-Metric #3)

• Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD Form 2910 to the date that 

Non-judicial Punishment (NJP) process is concluded (e.g., punishment 

imposed or NJP not rendered) (Non-Metric #4)

 The following are new requirements (as of FY14) and are calculated using data from 

DSAID. Therefore, there is no comparable FY12 or FY13 data.

• The average length of time from the date victims signed their DD Form 2910 to the 

date a court-martial sentence was imposed during FY14, or the accused was 

acquitted, was 186 days (median = 194).

• The average length of time from the date victims signed their DD Form 2910 to the 

date an NJP concluded was 69 days (median = 67).

MEMORANDUM FOR UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR 

PERSONNEL AND READINESS 

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2014 Department ofDefense Annual Report on Sexual Assault 

in the Military 

As requested by your memorandum of June 26,2014, the attached is provided as 

input from the Department of the Navy (DON) covering Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 for your 

Annual Report to Congress on Sexual Assault in the Military, as mandated by the 

National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2011, Section 1631 and Public Laws 111-84 

and 109-163. 

The DON is deeply committed to achieving a culture of gender respect - where 

sexual assault is never tolerated and ultimately eliminated; where all victims receive 

effective support and protection; and where offenders are held appropriately accountable. 

I, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Commandant of the Marine Corps work 

collaboratively towards these high-priority goals. The DON remains the only Military 

Department with a dedicated Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) entity that 

reports directly to the Secretary. On my behalf, the Department of the Navy Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office (DON-SAPRO) maintains visibility and 

oversight of SAPR activities throughout the Navy and Marine Corps, and it conducts a 

number of Department-level initiatives. I have included in our inputs a separate 

executive summary of these uniquely Departmental efforts, which complement and 

expand upon Service-level programs of the Navy and Marine Corps. 

Should you require additional information, my point of contact for this action is 

Ms. Jill Loftus, Director, DON-SAPRO who may be reached by telephone at (703) 697-

2180 or by email atjill.loftus@navy.mil.

Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

(SAPR) Program Review Data Call: Department of the Navy

Executive Summary (Department of the Navy)

The Department of the Navy (DON) is deeply committed to achieving a culture of 

gender respect – where sexual assault is never tolerated and ultimately eliminated; 

where all victims receive effective support and protection; and where offenders are held 

appropriately accountable. The Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, 

and the Commandant of the Marine Corps work collaboratively towards these highpriority goals. The Department of the Navy Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Office (DON-SAPRO) is an element of the Secretariat that reports directly to the 

Secretary of the Navy. On behalf of the Secretary, DON-SAPRO maintains visibility and 

oversight of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) activities throughout the 

Navy and Marine Corps, and it conducts a number of Department-level initiatives.

During FY14, the Director and her staff visited 35 Navy and Marine Corps locations 

world-wide. Agendas at each site typically included private meetings with military senior 

leaders; presentations by local commanders; individual interviews with diverse 

stakeholders including senior enlisted leaders, Sexual Assault Response Coordinators, 

Victim Legal Counsels, criminal investigators, command legal officers, medical 

personnel, and chaplains; and also focus group conversations with Sailors and Marines. 

One important and consistent theme arising from focus groups is that Sailors and 

Marines have more confidence in their command’s support, and they feel more 

comfortable about reporting a sexual assault. 

Many of these FY14 site visits also included live-acted, large-audience “InterACT” 

training programs sponsored by DON-SAPRO. These interactive sessions use 

professional civilian trainers and audience participation to explore healthy relationships 

and specific bystander intervention techniques. During just the last three months of 

FY14, over 10,600 Sailors and Marines attended 58 InterACT programs. This 

Department-level effort has continued and expanded since then. Feedback has been 

extremely positive, and we are working to also support requests from other Services for 

sessions in Joint base environments. 

“One Team, One Fight” is a one-hour SAPR training program tailored for civilians, 

combining video segments and facilitated discussion. It was deployed DON-wide in 

2013 and remains in use for new hires. In 2014, DON-SAPRO deployed two other new 

SAPR training programs. “Make a Difference, Be the Solution” is tailored for precommissioned officers, including midshipmen at the Naval Academy and at civilian 

college Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs, along with candidates in 

training at Officer Candidate School (OCS). “Empowered to Act” is tailored for 

prospective commanding officers and is in use at the Naval Leadership and Ethics 

Center. Both include scenario-based videos and facilitated small group discussion.

Work is already underway for products expected in 2015. These include the following: 

a SAPR training program tailored for the Navy Senior Enlisted Academy; a separate 

training program for recruits in training at Navy Recruit Training Command; a video 

library of short videos from previous training to illustrate specific issues of consent, 

incapacitation, healthy relationships, and survivor reactions; and “Understanding, 

Preventing, and Responding to Sexual Assaults: A Fresh Approach to Commander 

Training” which will use war-game techniques to educate Commanding Officers and 

Executive Officers. All include on-camera interviews with both male and female 

survivors.

During FY14, DON-SAPRO updated its “SAPR Commander’s Guide” for Navy and 

Marine Corps Commanding Officers. This conveniently-sized, glossy-format booklet 

summarizes Departmental priorities, background data, and suggestions for managing 

local sexual assault cases. The original 2012 version was 22 pages long, and over 

40,000 copies were distributed to command leadership across the Navy and Marine 

Corps. The updated 2014 edition is expanded to 50 pages, with new sections written 

respectively by judge advocates, criminal investigators, chaplains, medical personnel, 

and the reserve component. The initial print run of 20,000 copies is already being 

distributed.

In order to better understand the challenges of male sexual assault victims, DONSAPRO in FY14 began a review of several available sources of data. They estimated 

the frequency of male sexual assault from inputs to anonymous DON-wide sexual 

assault surveys conducted in 2011 and 2013; reviewed survey text comments from selfdisclosed male victims; categorized cases synopses from the Naval Criminal 

Investigative Service for male sexual assaults reported since 2009; summarized 

relevant inputs from over 130 focus groups; and identified trends in sexual assault 

reporting by male victims since 2008. Their summary report is in the final stages of 

editing.

Throughout FY14, DON-SAPRO continued its active partnership with Navy leadership 

to explore new ways to assess trends in the frequency of sexual assault. The success 

of ongoing student surveys, begun at several key places in 2013, led to their sequential 

implementation during FY14 at all 19 Navy “A” School (initial post-recruit military 

vocational training) locations. Surveys at each site utilize a DON-SAPRO survey 

process that is voluntary, anonymous, web-based, and continuous. Over 9000 Sailors 

have completed the survey, and participation has recently averaged about 30-40% of all 

graduates.

In addition, the Department of the Navy now has four years of accumulated experience 

in sexual assault prevention at Training Support Command (TSC) Great Lakes, Illinois. 

Initiatives begun in February 2011, as pilot efforts through a partnership of DONSAPRO, senior Navy leaders, and local stakeholders, have produced a sustained 

reduction in the number of reported sexual assaults among Sailors in post-recruit 

vocational training. Over a 48-month period, compared to the same interval prior, 

reports of any sexual assault (including restricted reports) have decreased by 47%, and

reported penetrating sexual assaults have decreased by 61% (see Figure 1 below).

Figure 1. Reports of Sexual Assault (Including Restricted Reports) at

Training Support Command, Great Lakes, by Month of Reported Occurrence

Site visits and focus groups have provided subsequent confirmation of a positive 

command climate, confidence in SAPR program support, and comfort in reporting 

sexual assaults. Ongoing electronic sexual assault surveys since 2013 of all departing 

graduates confirm a consistently low incidence of sexual assault. The visible 

engagement of leaders, at all levels, in multiple simultaneous efforts, triggered rapid 

impacts on command climate and the incidence of sexual assault. Transformed 

activities at Great Lakes are now the norm, and the current staff no longer thinks of 

them as a “pilot project.” Navy leadership is already applying its lessons Service-wide.

FY14 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military Executive Summary: 

United States Navy

Sexual assault is a significant threat to the United States Navy, adversely impacting 

readiness, morale, and retention. Navy takes this threat seriously and is fully 

committed to sexual assault prevention, victim support, and appropriate offender 

accountability with due process of law. Navy understands the criticality of creating a 

culture at all levels intolerant of unacceptable actions and behaviors in order to prevent 

more serious or criminal behaviors. Efforts are focused on the concept of a continuum 

of harm of destructive actions and behaviors to include a renewed emphasis on the 

prevention of hazing, sexual harassment, and alcohol abuse.

Organizational Structure and Policy

The structure of Navy SAPR is hierarchical and consistent both afloat and ashore. For 

purposes of this report, Commander and Commanding Officer (CO) will both be 

referred to as Commanders. A brief description follows.

• Deputy Chief Naval Operations for Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education 

serves as the Executive Agent, overseeing policy, program and initiatives. 

• Office of Chief of Naval Operations (21st Century Sailor Office) promulgates policy 

for Sailor total fitness needs, including SAPR.

Key SAPR Stakeholders

• Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) provides oversight and policy to Navy 

Medicine personnel and medical care and support to victims. 

• Chaplains provide spiritual counseling.

• Office of the Judge Advocate General (OJAG) provides legal instruction and 

guidance; judge advocates serve as judges; legal advisors; trial, defense, and 

victims’ legal counsel. 

• Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) develops and delivers education 

and training strategies.

• Navy Chief of Information develops and implements Navy’s Communication Plan.

• U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF); Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa; 

Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central; and U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) execute 

policy and support at the Fleet level.

• Office of the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)

Deployed and Joint Environments

Navy’s SAPR program afloat is consistent with and complimentary of SAPR programs

ashore. Victims are supported by trained and certified SAPR VAs and Installation 

SARCs ashore. Certified collateral duty Unit SAPR VAs and Deployed Resiliency 

Counselors (on aircraft carriers and large amphibious ships) deploy with commands 

and support victims afloat to enhance and compliment the support available ashore.

Other SAPR Personnel Involved

Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC) work with victims through the investigation and military 

justice processes, advocate for the victim’s rights and interests, and help victims obtain 

access to support resources. 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Officers (SAPROs) serve as full-time subject 

matter experts and advisors to Commanders, providing guidance to increase 

responsibility, awareness, and authority over all aspects of their SAPR Program. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

SAPROs are assigned to 25 type, system and regional commands.

Summary of Progress Made and Principal Challenges

There is progress as a result of Navy’s efforts. The number of sexual assault reports

increased in 2014 from 2013. This rise was expected due to efforts to raise awareness 

of sexual assault, educate Sailors on the definition of sexual assault, and provide 

support for those who report sexual assault. The 2014 estimated prevalence results 

using the comparable 2012 Workplace Gender Relations Assessment (WGRA) survey 

methodology indicate that 5.1% of women experienced unwanted sexual contact, a 

decrease from the 7.2% of women in 2012, and 1.1% of men experienced unwanted 

sexual contact, compared to the 2.7% men in 2012. 

The difference between the estimated prevalence and reporting represents the 

reporting gap, an important measure of victims’ trust in the sexual assault response 

system. Navy’s goal is to eliminate sexual assaults; but when sexual assault occurs, 

Navy wants it reported to enable support to the victim and appropriate accountability 

for the perpetrator. With the increase in reports and decrease in prevalence, Navy is 

making progress in closing the reporting gap, indicating a response process that 

Sailors understand and trust.

Metrics from the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational 

(DEOMI) Climate Survey (DEOCS) indicate Sailors view their commands’ climates

positively in regards to intolerance of sexist behaviors, and support for the SAPR 

program. Navy will continue to aggressively pursue prevention efforts, setting the 

conditions for a command climate that does not condone, tolerate, or ignore sexual 

assault, while further expanding and maturing response capability.

While results show trust in command leadership and a decline in prevalence, 

challenges still remain. Navy recognizes the need to focus more on male victim

reporting and will continue to work to remove barriers to reporting and improve malespecific support. Navy will also focus on eliminating professional and social coercion, 

retaliation, ostracism, maltreatment, or reprisals towards victims of sexual assault.

1. Line of Effort (LOE) 1—Prevention—The objective of prevention is to “deliver 

consistent and effective prevention methods and programs.”

1.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Prevention Endstate: “cultural 

imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional values, and team 

commitment are reinforced to create an environment where sexual assault or 

sexual harassment is not tolerated, condoned, or ignored.” 

Sexual assault is a crime that harms Sailors, damages unit cohesion and trust, and 

stands contrary to Navy Core Values. Navy endeavors to create an environment in 

which Sailors do not tolerate, condone, or ignore sexual assault or other inappropriate 

behaviors. Understanding the realities of sexual assault and the conditions under 

which it occurs is a requirement to advance cultural change. Navy aims to reinforce 

cultural imperatives of mutual respect, trust, professional values, and team 

commitment. Navy’s prevention strategy is designed to foster a culture and 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

7

environment in accordance with Navy Core Values of honor, courage, and 

commitment. Navy’s coordinated prevention efforts include: 

• deliberate and engaged leadership,

• innovation,

• education and awareness training,

• presence and intervention, and

• partnerships across Navy organizations.

Setting the right command culture is critical to addressing and preventing all 

destructive behaviors. Within a continuum of harm framework, Navy seeks to prevent 

all degrees of harmful behavior. This prevention starts with creating command 

climates that are intolerant of unprofessional and criminal behavior. Leadership is 

charged with fostering an environment where sexual assault and the behaviors and 

actions that may lead to it are unacceptable. 

Navy’s prevention-based practices focus on institutional, command, and individual 

actions and accountability. The overarching imperative at all levels of the chain of 

command is to establish organizational behavior expectations that are clearly 

communicated and consistently maintained. 

Navy implemented several tactical prevention initiatives in FY14: 

• Command surveys of facilities identified areas that required better lighting, 

visibility, and other safety improvements to reduce the vulnerability of Sailors. 

• In October 2013, all Navy Fleet Commanders instituted roving barracks patrols, 

led by senior enlisted personnel or experienced junior officers, to increase the 

visible presence of leadership in order to deter behavior that may lead to sexual 

assault or other misconduct. 

• Personnel assigned as barracks resident advisors are screened to ensure they 

are mature, effective leaders, and receive resident advisor training. 

• All Sailors residing in barracks attend indoctrination training within 30 days of

occupancy, which includes a sexual assault prevention module.

Navy leadership and commanders play a critical role in preventing sexual assault. 

Leaders drive the command climate and culture and ensure a safe and productive 

working environment. Leaders set an expectation of dignity, mutual respect, and 

professionalism among shipmates. The actions and attitude of leaders set the 

example and define Navy’s organizational culture. Leaders contributed to sexual 

assault prevention efforts through Flag Officer engagement, commander engagement, 

local leadership involvement, training to support engaged leadership, and leadership 

outreach to their communities. Across Navy, efforts include:

• Navy Region Marianas (Guam) promoted and instilled a new command 

philosophy: “Treat People Right, Honesty, and Loyalty and Teamwork.” The 

Region also initiated the 21st Century Sailor Resiliency Pledge, which promotes 

active bystander intervention in situations involving destructive decisions, 

including sexual assault. Commanders at all levels have adopted this 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

8

philosophy.

• United States Naval Academy (USNA) implemented: 

• Midnight Teachable Moment, which began in January 2014, as a way to 

bring together new Brigade Leadership. Its purpose is to provide an 

opportunity to discuss attributes and expectations of a leader, with sexual 

harassment and sexual assault as central themes. During the experience, 

Midshipmen leaders from Fall 2013 semester acted out various scenes, each 

of which was created to provide a framework for discussion on recognizing 

destructive behavior and employing various bystander intervention tactics. 

• “Lean In” Circles also began in Spring 2014 semester. This initiative creates 

small group forums where men and women volunteer participants learn to 

better appreciate what is unique and positive about both genders in an 

organization and directly supports the positive culture of the USNA.

• Navy Medicine, in alignment with the DoD, developed additional positions to 

support victim care and management tracking tools to help Commanders 

develop prevention strategies for their commands which support the deterrence 

of destructive behaviors, including sexual assault.

• USFF efforts include:

• A SAPR Campaign Plan to organize activities for operational commands in 

order to reduce incidents of sexual assault, which focused on fact-based 

decision making, resulting in more focused measures and commands 

working together.

• A Destructive Behavior Model, which allowed the fleet to creatively use 

Alcohol Awareness, Suicide Prevention, and domestic violence events to 

reinforce the messaging for sexual assault. 

• Quarterly SAPR Task Force Executive Steering Committee meetings, which 

include peer Echelon II Commanders, to synchronize SAPR activity. 

• A planning team of SAPROs at the Echelon II and III levels, whose meetings

encourage a free exchange of ideas and sharing of best practices.

• Waterfront Workshops on Destructive Behavior conducted in every Fleet 

Concentration Area. Workshops include motivational speakers in addition to 

latest policies and best practices. Past speakers have included former 

Detroit Lions Quarterback Mr. Eric Hipple, current Outreach Coordinator of 

the Depression Center of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Mr. 

Michael Dormitz from the Date Safe Project, and Mr. Bernie McGrenahan 

from Comedy is the Cure.

• PACFLT efforts include: 

• Logistics Command Western Pacific/Singapore Area Coordinator regularly 

conducted leadership training, which emphasized mutual respect, trust, and 

management skills in order to discourage high risk behavior. 

• Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Two established an “open discussion” 

environment in regards to both sexual assault and sexual harassment. 

Having open, frank discussions throughout the command has led to a 

greater understanding of Navy and command policies.

• Aboard USS John C. Stennis, four mandatory stand-down training evolutions 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

were conducted to address safety and responsible decision-making. NCIS 

delivered educational briefings on SAPR, investigatory trends, and the safe 

use of social media. 

• S.C.R.E.A.M. (Sailors Challenging Reality and Educating Against Myths) 

drama presentations continue in Region Japan to educate and inform Sailors 

of the negative consequences associated with sexual assault. Having been 

seen by over 2,100 military and civilian participants, this program has been 

used as a model for other installations in their training. 

1.2 Describe your progress in enhancing and integrating SAPR Professional 

Military Education in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act 

(NDAA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 requirements. 

Increased education and awareness ensure that Sailors understand what constitutes 

sexual assault, the avenues for reporting, available support services, and the 

importance of eliminating sexual assault from the ranks. All Navy Service members 

are required to receive annual SAPR training, which is delivered via face-to-face 

facilitation. Topics include ways to prevent sexual assault crimes, the continuum of 

harm from sexual harassment to sexual assault, actions a victim can take if sexually 

assaulted, and the difference between Restricted and Unrestricted Reporting options. 

SAPR messaging and learning objectives are consistent with the DoD SAPRO and 

integrated in all levels of training at all accession points, continuing to major 

commands. All new Navy recruits and officer candidates receive SAPR training within 

14 days of initial entrance into Service. Recruit Training Command is working with 

DON SAPRO to develop a new SAPR training product for enlisted accessions training. 

Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Midshipmen and Officer Candidate 

School (OCS) SAPR training were updated to include the newly developed “Make a 

Difference, Be the Solution” training for pre-commissioned officers from DON SAPRO, 

which satisfies FY14 NDAA SAPR core competencies and learning objectives. 

In FY14, NETC completed revisions to the Petty Officer Indoctrination Courses (E-5/E6) and Chief Petty Officer Select Training (E-7) to include SAPR specific training 

material. 

At USNA, the Class of 2017 was the first class to receive a three-session, four-hour 

Plebe Summer SAPR introduction during Summer 2013. This was continued for the 

Class of 2018 during Summer 2014. This phased approach included a general 

introduction on Induction Day, two one-hour SAPR sessions with USNA’s SAPR Office 

personnel and their Company Officer (both at the small group level), and a two-hour 

SAPR Leadership Discussion. 

The Naval War College is responsible for both officer and enlisted professional military 

education. In May 2014, the Naval Leadership and Ethics Center (NLEC) was 

established under the Naval War College, replacing the former Command Leadership 

School (CLS) course. NLEC serves as Navy’s catalyst and synchronizer for 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

10

developing ethical leaders throughout Navy from Seaman Recruit to Captain. NLEC 

serves to provide curriculum development along with assessment to instill fundamental 

tenets of ethical leadership; develop and guide leaders with a strong, abiding sense of 

responsibility, authority, and accountability; and impart commitment of Navy Core 

Values and Navy Ethos. Prior to the establishment of NLEC, CLS rewrote and 

implemented new curriculum on SAPR material, which was coordinated with DoD 

SAPRO in November 2013.

1.3 Describe your progress in implementing core competencies and learning 

objectives for all SAPR training to ensure consistency throughout the military. If 

already implemented, describe how you are monitoring and assessing 

outcomes. 

Within Navy, NETC oversees the implementation of core competencies and 

standardized SAPR learning objectives. NETC is in the process of updating the Navy's 

annual SAPR General Military Training (GMT)/refresher training, to include all FY14

NDAA SAPR Core Competencies and Learning Objectives for delivery in April 2015. 

The Center for Personal and Professional Development also completed a SAPR 

training module for delivery as part of the Command Indoctrination program (pending 

implementation). Facilitated discussions allow Sailors to fully process and understand 

the information presented by the trainers. Collaboration between SARCs, SAPR VAs, 

and command leadership during training enhanced the significance of the messaging 

and created a positive supportive network at the commands to present a united 

approach at all levels.

Navy provides a wide range of enhanced training programs based on the standardized 

SAPR core competencies and audience-focused, interactive, and adult learning 

methods. Additional efforts included:

• CNIC Headquarters (HQ) SAPR oversaw the following:

• Updated initial, online SARC 40-hour training and live monthly webinars to 

increase subject matter expertise in FY14, resulting in increased SARC, 

DRCs, SAPR Victim Advocates (VAs), and Unit SAPR VAs’ (UVAs) ability to 

provide culturally competent and effective services. CNIC evaluates all 

continuing education training requests received from regions to ensure they 

are in compliance with D-SAACP requirements. These efforts ensure 

SARCs and SAPR VAs are delivering consistent support and training 

throughout the Fleet, as outlined by DoD SAPRO. 

• Implemented promising practices across regions resulting in a commitment 

to SAPR team presence during training that was consistent with DoD 

SAPRO core competencies and learning objectives. Best practices in which 

core competencies were observed during the following training and 

education included:

 Executive Leadership SAPR training,

 Command Triad SAPR Toolkit briefings,

 Annual SAPR General Military Training for First Responders, Law 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

11

Enforcement (local agencies and NCIS), Legal, Medical, and Resident 

Advisors,

 Bystander Intervention Training, and

 Command SAPR position training (e.g., SAPR Point of Contact, 

SAPR Data Collection Coordinator, and SAPR Command Liaison).

• The Chief of Chaplains (CHC) developed and delivered a Professional 

Development Training Course called “Pastoral Response to Military Sexual 

Assault.” Active Duty and Reserve chaplains were trained in this inaugural 

course to meet DoDI “first responder” and “functional area” training for the 

Chaplain Corps. The initiative resulted in improving the knowledge, skills, and 

abilities of chaplains to respond to sexual assault victims, increased awareness 

of program particulars and pastoral approaches to victim support. The Chaplain 

Corps increased the capability to effectively respond to sexual assault victims 

with greater awareness of re-victimization, individual biases, and increased 

participation across the continuum of harm.

• Navy Medicine initiated the following:

• Revision of healthcare personnel first responder training and incorporation of

bystander intervention training into command indoctrination. 

• Revision of training vignettes focused on the continuum of harm in order to 

help staff members identify and stop behaviors that may lead to sexual 

assault. 

• Standardized Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) execution 

throughout the Navy. Through monthly meetings, Navy Medicine SAFE 

Program Manager shares best practices, lessons learned, and 

communicates upcoming requirements. Data is collected quarterly on SAFE 

supplies and SAFE Examinations throughout the DoD. 

1.4 Describe your progress in ensuring commanders receive training on sexual 

assault prevention and response during pre-command courses. 

Navy continues to evaluate the tools provided to commanders to ensure they can 

execute their charge of command. In particular, Navy focuses on improving the 

development of leadership and character in leaders selected for command. All Navy 

leaders complete tailored SAPR training. 

Because of the inherent responsibility of commanders, the screening process for 

selection is rigorous. Commanders must meet strict professional and performance 

qualification standards. 

Prior to assuming command positions within Navy, Commanding Officers (COs), 

Executive Officers (XOs), and Senior Enlisted Leaders (SELs)/Chiefs of the Boat, 

referred to as the Command Triad, attend mandatory leadership courses. Navy’s CLS

SAPR curriculum was developed by Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) SAPRO 

and the Services to reflect common core competencies, learning objectives, and 

leadership behaviors. Short videos and facilitated discussions, tailored to the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

12

command leadership perspective, are used to highlight command climate, continuum 

of harm, and bystander intervention. Senior leaders participate as guest presenters in 

each course. 

This year, the Naval Justice School (NJS) provided the following SAPR-related courses

to senior leaders:

• The Senior Officer Course, required for all O-6s en route to command and open 

to other officers O-4 and above, covers subjects in military justice and civil law 

important to these leaders in the administration of legal matters. There are over 

35 sessions of the Senior Officer Course, resulting in over 900 senior officers 

trained. The training includes both SAPR and Sexual Assault Initial Disposition 

Authorities (SA-IDAs) topics.

• The Senior Enlisted Leadership (SEL) Course, which provides legal instruction 

for senior enlisted leaders, covered subjects in military justice and civil law 

important to the SEL’s role in the administration of the command. The SEL 

course is offered in Norfolk and San Diego. NJS provided 11 offerings of the 

course, reaching 234 students. The training includes SAPR and SA-IDA topics.

The Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA) provided SAPR-related instruction to senior 

enlisted leaders by the installation’s SAPRO. NJS also provided separate legal 

instruction to the SEA on various military justice topics which have relevance in SAPR 

cases.

The Sexual Assault Case Management Group (SACMG) serves as a central 

communication point for all stakeholders who are involved with a victim including 

SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, UVAs, Military Criminal Investigative Organizations 

(MCIOs), mental health professionals, the victim's Commander, chaplains, and VLC. 

In FY14, CNIC HQ SAPR developed a SACMG module for the Senior Shore 

Leadership Course for all prospective installation Commanders and Executive Officers. 

The course module discusses policy requirements of the SACMG as well as the 

responsibility SACMG members have in ensuring system coordination, accountability, 

and victim access to quality services. 

The course provides individuals who will serve in the SACMG Chair role with the tools 

and knowledge to execute the policy requirements and focuses on ensuring victims 

receive appropriate and responsive care through the SAPR Program. A mock SACMG 

meeting is presented to participants to ensure understanding and compliance with the 

case management process in response to an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault.

Additional information is provided to active and reserve component command triads as 

follows:

• Installation SARCs provide a Command Toolkit brief within 30 days of the new 

CO/XO/CMC assignment to a command to discuss pertinent SAPR issues as 

required by Navy policy. Completion of this requirement is tracked by the CO’s 

immediate superior in command (ISIC). 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

13

• Company officers, battalion officers, and senior enlisted leaders at USNA attend 

pre-command training module, based on the pre-command SAPR training at the 

Naval Leadership and Ethics Center, formerly known as the CLS. The threehour training provides an overview of USNA SAPR and Command Managed 

Equal Opportunity (CMEO); discusses relevant challenges and best practices in 

the brigade; and includes a break-out discussion of specific questions aimed to 

stimulate discussion about this issue as it applies to their leadership roles. 

1.5 Describe your progress in incorporating specific SAPR monitoring, 

measures, and education into readiness and safety forums (e.g., quarterly 

training guidance, unit status reports, safety briefings). 

Since 2012, unit commanders delivered personal reports to the first Flag Officer in their 

chain of command within 30 days of the initial notification of a report of sexual assault

to alert senior leadership to any common factors and trends, as well as to provide 

insight into any gaps or seams in Navy SAPR policy or program initiatives. These 

reports provide information about care and support provided to the victim, initiatives the 

command will take (or has taken) to prevent future occurrences, and the impact on the 

command’s ability to carry out its mission. The personal report to the first Flag Officer 

is in addition to the Sexual Assault Incident Response Oversight (SAIRO) report 

required within 8 days of an unrestricted report of a sexual assault. 

Returning Strike Group Commanders routinely brief the chain of command about 

destructive behaviors, including sexual assaults that occurred during the deployment. 

The Fleet Commanders participate in quarterly SAPR-dedicated video teleconferences 

with the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) to discuss trends and recommend future 

initiatives. Several key initiatives were directed and fast-tracked as a result of the CNO 

SAPR meetings, including enhanced investigative capability using Navy uniformed 

investigators, bystander intervention skills training for all Sailors, and simplification of 

victim support duties within each unit.

Personal Readiness Summits, co-sponsored by the 21st Century Sailor Office and 

PACFLT, include SAPR briefings to leadership, program managers, and deck-plate 

supervisors. These summits provide an opportunity for personal interaction between 

policy makers and implementers to better ensure an effective SAPR program in the 

Fleet. 

Monthly SACMGs, chaired by commanders, also provide a forum to monitor how victim 

care and investigation of cases are being handled. Navy leaders evaluate the 

effectiveness of SARC response to sexual assaults, coordinate programming efforts, 

and ensure that victim services are streamlined and address victim needs on an 

ongoing basis.

1.6 Describe your progress in exploring expansion of SAPR training to include 

Recruit Sustainment Programs, Student Flight Programs, and for National Guard 

prior to arrival at Basic Training. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

14

Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) continued the SAPR Delayed Entry Program (DEP), 

a mandatory pre-accession training to civilians pending enrollment in a Navy accession 

program. The SAPR-DEP defines Navy policy standards related to sexual 

harassment, sexual assault, professional expectations, and potential disciplinary 

actions for future Sailors. All applicants for accession complete SAPR-DEP training 

prior to commencement of active duty and it is documented in their service record.

1.7 Describe your efforts to establish and implement policies that prevent 

individuals convicted of a Federal or State offense of rape, sexual abuse, sexual 

assault, incest, or other sexual offenses, from being provided a waiver for 

commissioning or enlistment in the Armed Forces. 

Navy policy prohibits commissioning or enlistment waivers for individuals convicted of a 

federal or state offense of rape, sexual abuse, sexual assault, incest, or other sexual 

offenses. Application packages of officer candidates for entry into USNA, NROTC, and 

Officer Training Command are closely reviewed to ensure nominees with such 

convictions are not permitted into the respective programs. 

NRC is responsible for Navy recruiting in both active and Reserve components. Sailors 

are required to be eligible for a secret clearance. During the recruiting process, 

prospective member offenses are identified through a background check. Prospective 

members are not eligible for a waiver for prior sexual assault.

Pursuant to Commander, Navy Recruiting Command Instruction 1130.8J, Volume II, 

Chapter 5, Article 010104, application for enlistment or affiliation shall be rejected (no 

waivers authorized) from any individual who is required by any state or federal court, 

statute, or administrative regulation, to register as a sex offender or has been convicted 

one of several different enumerated offenses of sexual assault, child pornography, and 

solicitation or attempts to commit such crimes. This policy has been in effect since 

2003.

1.8 Describe your progress in establishing a transition policy that ensures 

Service member sponsorship, unit integration, and immediate assignment into a 

chain of command. If already established, describe findings and 

recommendations.

Sponsorship is considered a crucial step when integrating a Sailor into a new 

command. Sponsors ensure basic needs are met while the Sailor adjusts to the new 

organization. A sponsor helps newly assigned personnel integrate into new cultures

and environments, and minimizes the risks of becoming a victim of any crime. Some of 

the more effective programs within Navy include:

• Face-to-face check-in with SAPR representatives to ensure effective 

sponsorship, unit integration, and immediate assignment into a chain of 

command; 

• Welcome aboard briefs, which cover sexual assault reporting options and 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

15

information on points of contact both internal and external to the command; and 

• Pre-arrival communication, adequate support upon arrival, and relocation 

assistance based on the Sailor’s needs.

Commands across Navy are required to conduct sponsorship and indoctrination 

programs to support newly reported service members upon assignment based on 

guidance in OPNAVINST 1740.3C. Each of Navy’s accession venues have 

customized SAPR training embedded in the indoctrination curriculum.

Navy’s 21st Century Sailor Office is working closely with NETC and other commands to

expand a Reverse Sponsorship initiative. Initiated by Navy Service Training 

Command, Reverse Sponsorship is an effort by the “losing” command to be more 

proactive in making the transition for Sailors. This initiative will be further investigated 

and assessed as a best practice for possible inclusion in the Command Sponsorship 

Instruction, which is currently under revision. 

1.9 Describe your progress in ensuring commanders conduct an organizational 

climate assessment within 120 days of assuming command and annually 

thereafter. Include policy for providing results to the next level in the chain of 

command. 

The DEOCS is a confidential, command-requested development survey focused on 

issues of equal opportunity and organizational effectiveness. OPNAVINST 5354.1F 

reinforces the 120-day requirement to commanders. NAVADMIN 336/13 provides a

more stringent requirement for Navy Commanders to conduct a DEOCS within 90 days 

of assuming positions of command and annually thereafter to assess command 

climate, effectiveness of its SAPR policies, and perceptions of Sailors within a unit. 

The unit commander briefs the ISIC on the results of the survey, along with a plan of 

action to address any opportunities for improvement. The unit commander is also 

required to brief results and future actions to members of the unit.

Equal Opportunity Advisors are Echelon II Command Climate Specialists who work 

with subordinate specialists throughout the fleet to monitor compliance with the 

DEOCS command climate assessment. Equal Opportunity Advisors provide Enhanced 

Commander 

Accountability Reports to the commander. Under OPNAVINST 5354.1F (Navy Equal 

Opportunity Policy), advisors track and report command climate assessment 

compliance on a quarterly basis using the DEOMI Data Retrieval System. This 

requirement is monitored through quarterly reports provided to OPNAV from the 

Echelon II commands.

1.10 Describe your progress in establishing a clear policy to reduce the impact 

of high-risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities to sexual assaults and other 

crimes against persons (e.g., alcohol consumption, barracks visitation, 

transition policy). Include efforts to collaborate with law enforcement, alcohol 

and substance abuse officers, and etc.

In FY14, Navy strategy increased focus on the concept of a continuum of harm of 

destructive actions and behaviors to include a renewed emphasis on the prevention of 

hazing, sexual harassment, and alcohol abuse. The 21st Century Sailor Office 

provides coordinated efforts in Sailor resiliency and readiness programs and integrated

efforts to counter destructive behaviors.

Towards the “left” end of this continuum are a range of destructive attitudes and 

behaviors, such as demeaning or discriminatory comments, stereotyping, and unequal 

treatment. More egregious actions such as groping, forced sexual activity, and rape 

are to the “right” of the continuum. A command environment that allows inappropriate 

behaviors to exist may increase the likelihood for incidents of sexual harassment. 

Further, environments that permit sexual harassment behaviors to exist may increase 

the likelihood for incidents of sexual assault. 

Each Fleet Commander has a designated Flag Officer, reporting directly to the Fleet 

Commander, as the SAPR program leader for each Navy installation/fleet 

concentration area and associated local commands. This designated Flag Officer has

regular conversations with appropriate installation/local command representatives, 

local community, and civic leaders to review SAPR program efforts. Flag Officers 

regularly inform Fleet Commanders of prevention and response trends and 

opportunities for improvement within their area of responsibility. The Flag Officer also 

ensures that community outreach and engagement are part of each area’s prevention 

and response measures. Commanders and all Flag Officers work with stakeholders to 

discuss command climate and SAPR readiness issues. 

Navy took multiple actions to revise alcohol policies to address risk factors beyond the 

individual use of alcohol. These include improvements in training alcohol providers, 

emphasizing responsible sales practices, and engaging local community leadership 

and organizations to expand prevention efforts off base. Navy continues to monitor the 

impacts on the prevention of sexual assault and other destructive behaviors of CNOdirected alcohol sales policies which directed the following actions:

• Distilled spirits can only be sold at main exchanges or at dedicated package 

(liquor) stores.

• Alcohol displays and merchandise in stores other than package stores are no 

more than 10% of the total retail floor space and not displayed in the front of 

stores. 

• Alcohol can only be sold between the hours of 0600 and 2200. 

Additionally, the Navy Exchange reduced discounts for alcohol sales and made singleuse alcohol detection devices available for sale. Navy Morale, Welfare, and 

Recreation (MWR) venues also reduced the hours for the sale of alcoholic beverages,

increased responsible alcohol service training for staff members who serve alcohol,

and migrated to industry-recognized training such as SERVSAFE and Controlling 

Alcohol Risks Effectively (CARE) curriculum. During FY14, CNIC HQ SAPR 

collaborated with MWR Food and Beverage and the American Hotel and Lodging 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

17

Educational Institute to tailor the CARE curriculum to include Navy SAPR Program and 

sexual assault prevention information and bystander intervention. 

The CARE curriculum is required Navy-wide for all personnel who serve alcohol in 

MWR facilities, including servers and bartenders, who are in a unique position to 

observe and intervene with problematic behaviors. This will standardize a promising 

practice that has been implemented in several regions. Routine coordination meetings 

were established across Navy with installation and local community and civic leaders to 

increase alcohol awareness and abuse prevention measures.

Many commands are working with local civilian establishments to reduce underage 

drinking and ensure that those of legal age are served a responsible amount of alcohol.

SARCs give training on responsible drinking principles to alcohol servers on base at 

MWR establishments and off base to some civilian bartenders in San Diego and Great 

Lakes. SARCs also train resident advisors on how to access resources for those in 

need of the SAPR program, support residents who have been affected by sexual 

assault, and implement the policies set forth by their commands that reinforce a safe 

environment. Command efforts also include establishing the addition of lighting around 

installation buildings and installation-wide roving patrols. 

In some locations, SARCs train bartenders 

Commands also report a continuum of education to promote responsible use of 

alcohol, good decision-making on liberty, and sexual assault prevention. The 

education continuum commences upon check-in where command policies on 

responsible use of alcohol, equal opportunity, sexual harassment, hazing, and safety 

are discussed. Before weekends and holidays, Chiefs and Division Officers typically

speak to Sailors about the prevention of sexual assault and other inappropriate 

behaviors.

Some specific activities to reduce the impact of high risk behaviors include:

• “Sigonella Safe” and “Rota 25” programs in Europe/Africa/Southwest Asia - 

one-day programs for Service members aged 25 and younger and include 

topics such as consequences of unsafe behaviors, risk reduction, social media, 

and bystander intervention. 

• A step-by-step table top exercise scenario-based training in the Mid-Atlantic 

Region challenges command leadership to develop solutions following a report 

of a sexual assault, encouraging participants to also examine potential 

intervention strategies, and identify warning signs of a possible sexual assault. 

• A risk-reduction analytic tool developed by a forward-deployed PACFLT allows

commands to better forecast high-risk, inappropriate behaviors based on the 

ship’s schedule. The tool helps commands analyze their unique schedules and 

demographics to discern high-risk situations, allowing them to focus their 

prevention efforts. 

• Twenty performance-based, interactive training sessions in the Southwest 

Region by the DateSafe Project Inc., University of California Long Beach-
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

18

InterACT, and National Conflict Resolution Center agencies to facilitate fleet and 

shore audience discussion on healthy sexual boundaries, the impact of sexual 

assault on personal readiness, and consent. Audience members actively 

participated by working through real life scenarios to work out the kinks of 

communication and consent. 

1.11 Describe your progress in implementing the 2014 Department of Defense 

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy. 

Navy successfully implemented the five key objectives outlined in the 2014 DoD 

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy across the fleet in FY14 as follows:

1. Inform public policy and legislation (Society): The public had unprecedented 

levels of awareness of Navy SAPR policy and legislation due to increased 

media attention on military sexual assault in FY14. Navy SAPRO, the Office of 

Legislative Affairs (OLA), Chief of Information Office (CHINFO), and members of 

OJAG routinely interact with Congress, the media, and the public on SAPR

programs and efforts. The DoD SAPR Progress Report to the President of the 

United States also increased the information available to the public and society 

regarding Navy’s SAPR program. 

2. Institutionalize prevention practices and programs across the Service: Navy 

leadership created avenues to ensure a cohesive workflow across 

organizations. The CNO SAPR cross-functional team is a multidisciplinary 

forum creating synergy and focused effort among Navy stakeholders. Major 

stakeholders represent disciplines such as policy and resourcing, investigations, 

legal, medical support, victim advocacy, and fleet organizations. Stakeholders 

collaborate on prevention initiatives, response and support, training, and policy 

and legislation. 

• A USFF Task Force combined leadership from Navy fleet and shore 

infrastructures to undertake initiatives across the five SAPR LOEs. This 

ensures synergy across Navy, shares knowledge, and coordinates across 

the Navy enterprise for a comprehensive solution.

• PACFLT regions with major Fleet and Force level Flag Officers in the same 

geographic area have a periodic SAPR council meeting led by the region 

commander. These meetings assist in aligning program goals, sharing best 

practices, and identifying leading indicators that may require leadership 

awareness and action.

3. Set and enforce standards for appropriate conduct and integrating prevention 

into command practices (Leaders at all levels): Strong leaders at the forefront 

demonstrate Navy’s prevention efforts. Navy mandates that commands conduct 

the DEOCS within 90 days of a change of command, and annually thereafter, to 

assess command climate and perceptions of SAPR-related issues. Sailors 

receive specialized training to increase SAPR education and awareness, and 

support their peers to ensure they stay safe.

4. Mentor, develop skills, and educate Sailors to promote healthy relationships: 

Naval Station Great Lakes is home to Navy’s Recruit Training Command, where 

all enlistees attend basic training. Navy begins teaching new Sailors from day

19

one about principles of respect and the Navy Core Values of honor, courage, 

and commitment. These principles are emphasized and enhanced at Training 

Support Command while Sailors learn their technical skills. Training Support 

Command Great Lakes teaches important new SAPR training programs, 

aggressive anti-alcohol efforts, visible leadership engagement in both Sailor 

discipline and mentoring, and active coordination across organizational lines by 

regional senior leaders. These efforts are continued in the fleet through support 

from Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSC) and Coalition of Sailors Against 

Destructive Decisions (CSADD).

5. Intervene against inappropriate/unacceptable behaviors 

(Relationships/Individuals): Sailors receive different forms of bystander 

intervention training to help them recognize how to safely intervene in situations

if safe to do so. Bystander intervention is a major tenet of Navy prevention 

strategy. Bystander intervention positively impacts command climate so that 

Sailors feel safe among each other, empowering them to intervene on another 

Sailor’s behalf, if necessary. Navy emphatically encourages bystander 

intervention in SAPR-related training at all levels. Sailors receive different forms 

of bystander intervention training to help them recognize situations which 

require action and understand how to safely intervene. One training scenario 

uses Sailors and actors to role play real life situations where intervention is 

necessary. The team training event creates unit cohesion, which carries over to 

Sailors working together to protect and help each other. Additionally, a PACFLT

social media campaign in 2014 developed the hashtag #StepUpStepIn, to 

promote bystander intervention related to sexual assault. The #StepUpStepIn 

hashtag appeared on social media more than 100 times since March 2014, 

resulting in more than 1,000 likes, shares, and retweets. 

Navy DEOCS results indicate the effectiveness of bystander intervention training. 

Monthly trends from 2014 show that more than 80% of Sailors do intervene. High-risk 

situations are defined as situations that were, or could have led to, a sexual assault.

Results also reveal an intervening action gap between ranks. Junior Sailors are more 

likely to observe a high-risk situation, yet are slightly less likely to act. Navy’s new 

Bystander Intervention to the Fleet training for 2015 is designed to better empower 

junior Sailors to feel more confident in intervening. 

1.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

• Navy VLC routinely communicate and engage with local civilian victim-support 

providers to leverage their experience and guidance in working victim issues. 

This includes attendance at civilian subject-matter expert training events and 

cooperation with the American Bar Association and the National Crime Victim 

Law Institute. Additionally, VLC routinely communicate with local civilian 

prosecutors and law enforcement to assist military victims participating in local 

or state investigations or prosecution of sexual assault offenses outside the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

20

military. 

• Memorandums of Understanding/Agreements were established between military 

and civilian medical treatment facilities (MTFs) to provide medical and forensic 

support services to victims. This support is offered in conjunction with service 

hours and non-service hours of the MTFs and is further explained in 2.12.

• Annually, NJS contracts with AEquitas, the Presidentially-recognized national 

resource for prosecuting crimes against women, to provide specialized training 

to Navy prosecutors on prosecuting alcohol-facilitated sexual assaults. 

• In Region Mid-Atlantic, Partners in Reducing Sexual Assault collaboration brings 

together key players from military installations and the local community to 

combine knowledge, resources, and networks. This collaboration supports the 

sharing of best practices and supports annual and educational events.

• Installations in the Southeast Region conducted SAPR training with local public 

schools, universities, law enforcement personnel, hospitals, and rape crisis 

centers across the region, including a training collaboration with the Texas 

Association Against Sexual Assault.

• Region Southwest SARCs and SAPR VAs served as members of community 

Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTs), multi-disciplinary committees that 

meet the diverse needs of all members of the community by increasing 

awareness and sensitivity through knowledge-based practice, training, and nonjudgmental interaction with victims and other professionals in the field. 

• Key SAPR Program personnel in Region Marianas conducted a two-day training 

presentation to civilian victim advocates from local government and nongovernmental organizations designed to educate the civilian advocates on the 

ins-and-outs of military victim assistance and justice processes. 

• The USNA SAPR Program Manager collaborated with civilian school 

counterparts on alternative prevention programs which were well-received by 

students. One of these successful programs, “Speak About It,” was performed 

at USNA in September 2014. The USNA SAPR Officer also attended a 

Maryland Independent Colleges and University Association forum on 

compliance with federal laws and participated in the Dartmouth Summit on 

Sexual Assault as a way to work more closely with civilian institutions. A

relationship has continued in the form of a working group.

1.13 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective prevention 

methods and programs, including how these efforts will help your Service plan, 

resource and make progress in your SAPR program.

Navy has two new training projects in development for delivery in FY15 and FY16. The 

first is Bystander Intervention to the Fleet training, a peer-delivered skills training to 

enable Sailors to identify situations that require intervention, and have the skills 

necessary to actively and safely intervene. The second training, Living Our Core 

Values: Chart the Course, will combine video vignettes and small group-facilitated 

discussions to address continuum of harm behaviors including sexism, sexual 

harassment, sexual assault, and retaliation.

21

DRCs are civilian licensed mental health counselors who work cooperatively with 

military and civilian medical, social service, law enforcement, chaplains and legal 

personnel on behalf of sexual assault victims to provide Sailors with critical support 

services during deployments. DRCs provide clinical, educational, and support services 

across a spectrum of care. DRCs are also required to complete SARC and SAPR VA 

training and maintain D-SAACP certification to perform SAPR duties as needed. 

NETC is in the process of replacing the Navy Military Training curriculum with a new 

product, “LifeSkills,” in FY16. This new course will include both Bystander Intervention 

post-recruit training, delivered face-to-face, as well as a refresher on basic information 

about sexual assault prevention and response. Unlike GMT, LifeSkills will be directed 

toward the Post-Recruit/Pre-Technical Training audience and environment.

The Naval Reserve Force is creating a Command Resiliency Master Mobile Team that 

will train subordinate commands to effectively create their own Command Resiliency 

Team. These resiliency teams will stand up focus groups to solicit feedback on the 

command health of subordinate units and personnel.

Navy Medicine sponsored a training session in February of 2015 for all SAPR and 

CMEO groups to ensure a standardized, consistent message. The teams will come 

together to develop a prevention strategy for Navy Medicine. Navy Medicine has also 

sponsored a team supported by social workers, psychologists, investigators, and other 

Echelon II commands to develop a resiliency strategy that focuses on changing 

destructive behavior.

The CHC, in collaboration with DON SAPRO, is moving forward to develop two 

prevention initiatives. The first, “Sexual Assault Prevention Workshop,” would 

supplement a command’s existing sexual assault prevention efforts and is based on 

the U.S. Coast Guard WorkLife program. This workshop would be provided through 

the Chaplain Religious Enrichment Development Operation. The second initiative is 

intended to assist those struggling with negative thoughts or actions regarding sexual 

assault, and leverages the confidentiality offered by chaplains. A messaging campaign 

would be directed to these individuals ensuring them that they could receive help from 

chaplains to resist or correct violent behaviors while keeping their counseling sessions 

confidential. Application of this initiative would be CHC-wide.

The NCIS Advanced Family and Sexual Violence Training Program (AFSVTP) training 

course meets the advanced training standard specified in DoDIG Directive-Type 

Memorandum (DTM) 14-0002 pertaining to the investigation of child crimes and 

domestic/intimate partner violence. To date, 113 Special Agents and Investigators 

have satisfied this training requirement. This two-week course will be offered twice in 

FY 2015 (48 seats).

2. LOE 2—Investigation—The objective of investigation is to “achieve high 

competence in the investigation of sexual assault.”

2.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Investigation Endstate: “investigative 

resources yield timely and accurate results.”

If a sexual assault incident involving a Sailor occurs, Navy responds with thorough 

investigations, actions to support the victims, and fair and transparent processes to 

hold offenders appropriately accountable. The DoD requires that MCIOs investigate all 

reports of sexual assault, to include contact offenses. Therefore, all Unrestricted 

Reports of sexual assault within Navy are referred to NCIS (or another Service MCIO 

in certain locations), regardless of severity, with the goal of yielding timely and 

thorough investigations. Commands are specifically directed not to conduct internal 

investigations for reports of sexual assault and must immediately notify NCIS upon 

receipt of a report.

The investigation phase includes gathering evidence and facts about the sexual 

assault allegation through NCIS investigations within Navy’s jurisdiction. Modified 

training to improve investigative skills and an increase in the number of special agents 

resulted in more timely and thorough investigations. NCIS collaborates early in the 

investigative phase with trial counsel and/or staff judge advocates to ensure early and 

ongoing collaboration at the Senior Trial Counsel (STC) and supervisory special agent 

level. 

Since the Navy’s focused strategy began in 2009, and the amendments of Article 120 

of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in June 2012, and the DoD direction in 

January 2013 that NCIS investigate all contact offenses, the number of reported sexual 

assaults NCIS investigated increased significantly. The 2014 sexual assault statistics 

showed a 55% increase in NCIS sexual assault investigations since 2012. 

NCIS investigation timelines are calculated from initial notification until the date all 

investigative leads are completed and the case is forwarded to the command for 

administrative or judicial action. The average timeline for FY13 NCIS investigations in 

offices with Adult Sexual Assault Program (ASAP) teams was 110 days, which is a 

24% decrease from 144 days in FY12. However, FY14 shows a spike in investigation 

timelines to 127 days. This increase can likely be attributed to the increase in the 

number of reported sexual assaults and changes in the requirement for MCIOs to 

investigate all allegations of sexual assault to include contact offenses.

Due to the increase in sexual assault reporting, NCIS received 54 billets in July 2013. 

These billets included 41 special agents and 13 support staff personnel. The special 

agents completed six months of training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training 

Center (FLETC) and are currently assigned to field offices participating in the Field 

Training Evaluation Program. During the field training, new special agents investigate 

crimes such as larcenies, burglaries, and drug offenses to gain experience and further 

develop their investigative skills. While these special agents do not work sexual 

assaults cases, their presence allows for the more experienced agents to solely focus 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

23

on investigating sexual assault cases.

In an effort to assist NCIS in investigating the increased number of reported sexual 

assaults, NCIS partnered with Navy to activate 21 Reserve Component Masters-atArms (MAs) for a one-year period. Comprised of mostly state and local police officers 

and detectives, these Reservists already possess the investigative expertise needed to 

investigate sexual assault allegations. Upon activation, the Reservists attended fiveweek instruction at FLETC on NCIS policy, advanced interviewing and interrogation 

techniques, crime scene processing and management, and advanced sexual assault 

training. MAs, under the direct supervision of NCIS special agents, currently work on 

caseloads at their assigned duty stations. 

NCIS will begin a three-year pilot program in early FY15 to professionalize and 

enhance the investigative capabilities of active duty MA personnel. Upon completion of 

the five-week course attended by the Reservists and an eight-week Military Police 

Investigator’s course, 12 selected active duty MAs will be assigned to NCIS field offices 

as investigators under the supervision of NCIS special agents. 

NCIS policy directs supervisors to conduct a case review every 30 days on open 

investigations to ensure timeliness, thoroughness, and quality. Additionally, NCIS 

investigations are subject to further supervisory reviews during field office visits by

senior management, quality assistance visits by executive assistant directors, field 

office inspections by the NCIS Inspector General (IG), and NCIS HQ program reviews. 

An NCIS investigation is not forwarded to the command for administrative or judicial 

action until all investigative leads have been completed. Pursuant to DoDI 5505.18, 

when an MCIO is the lead investigative agency, it may not close an adult sexual 

assault investigation without the written disposition data documented in the final 

investigative report or database. Once the case has been adjudicated within Navy, the 

investigation is closed only after the convening authority (the individual responsible for 

adjudicating the case) provides a Sexual Assault Disposition Report (SADR). 

NCIS continues outreach initiatives, such as briefings, crime reduction campaigns, and 

a Text-Tip hotline to increase awareness and encourage timely reporting. 

• The NCIS Crime Reduction Program continues to publicly address criminal 

activity that impacts the military community, including the occurrence of sexual 

assault. In conducting outreach within the DON, the Crime Reduction Program 

uses meetings, speeches, and briefs to raise sexual assault awareness, 

increase victim and Service member confidence, and promote bystander 

intervention. 

• NCIS has a Text & Web Tip Line program as part of the “See Something, Say 

Something” campaign. This program is an anonymous tip collection system that 

has proven invaluable in collecting actionable intelligence in support of the 

criminal investigative mission. This encrypted system equipped NCIS with the 

ability to provide direct feedback and real-time connectivity with the tipster 

across multiple platforms. The reporting party may remain anonymous or refrain 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

24

from participating in an investigation. 

USFF conducted two case studies to ensure investigative resources yield timely and 

accurate results. 

• The Case Processing Efficiency Study on sexual assault cases in USFF area of 

responsibility looked into various aspects of case processing from first report to 

punishment awarded. The study outcomes helped establish better synergy 

between NCIS, fleet legal teams, shore legal teams, and afloat courts-martial 

convening authorities without creating conditions of unlawful command 

influence. Patterns were analyzed to ensure better victim advocacy for victims 

participating in the legal process. Resource shortfalls for NCIS agents were 

addressed with additional assets to assist with backlogs.

• The Sexual Assault Case Patterns Study focused on non-military offenders, 

civilian case processing, military cases where command action was precluded, 

and cases open longer than 270 days to understand root causes and allow for 

process improvement. The study identified trends requiring improvement and 

correction, and improving communication flow between military and civilian 

jurisdictions. 

2.2 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability for MCIO’s. 

DoD Inspector General (DoDIG) DTM 14-002, “The Establishment of Special Victim 

Capability (SVC) Within the Military Criminal Investigative Organizations,” (now 

commonly referred to as Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) 

capability), required MCIOs to develop “a distinct, recognizable group of appropriately 

trained investigators to investigate allegations of all designated SVC/SVIP-covered 

offenses.” SVC/SVIP-covered offenses include allegations of adult sexual assault, 

domestic violence involving sexual assault and/or aggravated assault with grievous 

bodily harm, and child abuse involving sexual assault and/or grievous bodily harm. 

NCIS currently employs 1,050 special agents and investigators, including 161 

dedicated solely to investigating SVC/SVIP crimes.

NCIS created ASAP to provide a distinct and recognizable group of personnel to 

investigate sexual assault related offenses. This initiative is an operational shift 

whereby dedicated teams of NCIS personnel investigate reports of sexual assault. 

Upon receiving a report, ASAP personnel employ a surge team response to complete 

investigative activity in a timely manner, resulting in the faster delivery of an 

investigative package to the convening authority. Members of the team collaborate 

with trial counsel and victim advocate personnel, in accordance with congressionally 

mandated SVC/SVIP criteria. ASAP teams are located in the largest fleet 

concentration areas where the volume of sexual assault reports is the greatest. NCIS 

established ASAP teams in seven locations: Camp Lejeune, NC; Norfolk, VA; 

Okinawa, Japan; Camp Pendleton, CA; Yokosuka, Japan; San Diego, CA; and

Bremerton, WA. Most importantly, ASAP teams increased investigation performance 

while sustaining the quality and thoroughness of investigations. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

25

2.3 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability case 

assessment protocol for open and closed sexual assault, child abuse, and 

serious domestic violence cases. 

The second prong of NCIS’ response to the DoD SVC/SVIP initiative is the 

development of a cadre of investigators skilled in conducting serious domestic violence 

and child abuse investigations. The NCIS version of the Special Victim Unit 

Investigations Course (SVUIC) is titled the Advanced Adult Sexual Violence Training 

Program (AASVTP). The AASVTP course curriculum satisfies the requirements 

outlined in the DoD Instructions. Within the AASVTP, students receive advanced 

training on victim and offender dynamics as well as interview techniques designed for 

trauma survivors. Students conduct case reviews and “table top” exercises facilitated 

by nationally recognized experts and military senior trial counsel. Students must 

complete a comprehensive examination at the conclusion of the course. 

NCIS has a similar course designed for family-related offenses to include domestic 

violence and child abuse offenses called the Advanced Family Sexual Violence 

Training Program (AFSVTP). AFSVTP is a two-week advanced course focused on 

domestic violence and child abuse collaboratively created by NCIS and U.S. Army 

Criminal Investigation Command (CID). Experts from within and without the DoD 

instruct students on victim and offender dynamics, domestic violence and child abuse 

injuries, risk assessments, stalking, and other relevant topics. In addition to the 

AFSVTP, these investigators attend the Trial Component Training Program (TCTP).

2.4 Describe your progress in enhancing training for investigators of sexual 

violence. Include efforts to establish common criteria, core competencies, and 

measures of effectiveness, and to leverage training resources and expertise. 

To meet SVC/SVIP requirements, special agents, investigators, and prosecutors must 

attend advanced training in adult sexual assault, child physical and sexual abuse, and 

domestic violence. Requirements for the training are outlined in DoDI 5505.18, 

“Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault in the Department of Defense,” and DoDIG DTM 

14-002. NCIS AASVTP and AFSVTP meet these requirements.

NCIS developed a one-day TCTP for ASAP members. TCTP is a joint learning 

environment wherein investigators and prosecutors discuss topics such as trial 

preparation, courtroom testimony, and investigative tips designed to enhance the 

successful prosecution of a case at trial. TCTP is held locally and delivered by the 

regional STC. Through the joint training environment, investigators and prosecutors 

enhance their working relationship while working toward a more refined investigation 

and trial. 

NCIS’ goal is to provide advanced training to all personnel who could potentially 

respond to and/or investigate adult sexual assault. This advanced training focuses on 

the effects of trauma on the memory of victims who have been sexually assaulted. 

Additionally, special agents and investigators training includes:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

26

• Understanding and respecting a victim’s immediate priorities; 

• Ensuring a victim’s criminal complaints will be taken seriously and fully 

investigated; 

• Establishing transparency and trust with the victim; 

• Helping to restore the victim’s sense of control; 

• Explaining the investigative process to the victim; and

• Understanding interview techniques that can assist the victim’s recollection. 

2.5 Describe your progress in developing joint doctrine for investigations to 

incorporate Service interoperability and command independence consistent with 

authorities of MCIOs in the operational/institutional environment. 

In investigations that cross Services, the lead investigative MCIO is determined by the 

Service affiliation of the subject or the Service affiliation of the victim if a subject has 

not been identified. In situations where investigative resources are limited, NCIS works 

jointly with the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) and U.S. Army

Criminal Investigation Division (CID) to ensure investigations are thorough and timely.

2.6 Describe your progress in sustaining the Defense Enterprise Working Group 

of Military Criminal Investigation Organizations and Defense Criminal 

Investigative Service to assess and validate joint investigative technology, best 

practices, and resource efficiencies benched against external law enforcement 

agencies.

Since the three MCIOs (NCIS, OSI, and CID) have the same DoD-mandated training 

requirements, NCIS partnered with CID and OSI to establish sexual assault working 

groups. Through collaboration, the working groups identified joint training opportunities 

that have resulted in sharing resources such as subject matter experts. 

2.7 Describe your progress in assessing and coordinating with the United States 

Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory to improve investigative support and 

facilitate evidence processing. 

In June 2014, NCIS established a forensic consultant position at U.S. Army Criminal 

Investigative Laboratory (USACIL), located within the Defense Forensic Science 

Center. The forensic consultant is assigned to the Forensic Analysis Division and 

prioritizes case submissions on behalf of NCIS. The forensic consultant works with the 

laboratory staff to conduct a comprehensive assessment upon receipt of evidence. 

The forensic consultant also inventories and inspects the evidence and then builds an 

examination strategy to ensure the most appropriate testing is conducted. This 

approach has helped eliminate backlogs and reduced turnaround time to less than 30 

days from submission to completion of evidence analysis.

In conjunction with NCIS, OJAG, and CNIC, Navy Medicine continues to look for ways 

to improve its SAFE collection procedures. SAFE providers throughout DON receive 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

feedback from USACIL on processing SAFE kits via monthly meetings.

2.8 Describe your progress in ensuring that all sexual assault crimes are 

immediately reported to MCIOs to establish investigative oversight and 

coordination.

DoDI 6495.02, DoDI 5505.18, and SECNAVINST 1752.4B require commands to 

immediately report all Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault and attempts against 

adults to an MCIO, regardless of the severity of the allegation. DoDI 5505.18 also 

requires the MCIO to initiate investigations of all offenses of adult sexual assault of 

which they become aware. Therefore, NCIS responds to all allegations of sexual 

assault within Navy upon notification. In accordance with Navy policy, commanders

are trained and directed to not initiate command investigations of reported sexual 

assault offenses and to refer all such cases to NCIS. 

OPNAVINST F3100.6J dictates the operational/situational reporting 

(OPREPs/SITREPs) requirements for Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault. In 

accordance with this instruction, commands are also required to consult judge 

advocates to ensure that appropriate legal advice is provided and procedural steps 

followed. OPREP-3 reporting remains the primary tool for tracking MCIO notification 

within Navy. Notification of MCIO remains an OPREP-3 reporting line item, 

emphasizing contact prior to release of the initial OPREP-3 or SITREP (within 24 hours

of knowledge of incident or sooner depending upon specific criteria). These 

operational messages are subsequently tracked and followed by mandatory reporting 

to the first Flag Officer in the CO’s chain of command within 30 days of the report being 

submitted. 

Navy SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, UVAs, healthcare providers, chaplains, and VLC are 

prepared to explain sexual assault reporting options to all victims requesting support. 

These first responders are kept abreast of changes to the policies and procedures for 

the handling of Unrestricted Reports on an ongoing basis. If Unrestricted, SARCs 

immediately notify the command and MCIO of any sexual assault in order to 

collaborate on victim-centered services and ensure victim safety. SARCs are equipped 

with after-hours telephone numbers for the NCIS agent on call.

SARCs explain the requirement to notify NCIS during CO’s Toolkit Briefs, SAPR VA 

training, SAPR GMT, and leadership briefs. These briefs ensure leaders, Sailors, and 

first responders are aware of the current reporting policies and reinforce the 

importance of MCIO notification for sexual assault crimes. Additionally, as cases are 

reported, the SARCs remind commands to make the NCIS notification, as well as 

follow-up with NCIS, to ensure cases are reported and provide Sexual Assault Case 

Management Group (SACMG) updates. SARCs continue to collaborate with 

commands to establish standard operating procedures for sexual assault allegations. 

The Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID) monitors the status of 

reported sexual assaults.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

28

Inspection teams and case management review ensure timelines are met with each 

sexual assault case reported. All reported offenses are tracked from the time of the 

initial report to the final disposition. Part of the tracking process includes ensuring all 

required notifications are made in a timely manner. Staff judge advocates or command 

legal officers continually communicate with NCIS and the Region Legal Service Office 

(RLSO) Trial Counsel, ensuring information is being provided on all newly reported and 

ongoing sexual assault investigations.

2.9 Describe your progress in ensuring prompt MCIO investigative notification to 

commanders and SARCs concurrent with initiating an investigation of a sexual 

assault crime. 

Pursuant to DoDI 5505.18 and the FY14 NDAA, the MCIO investigator assigned to an 

adult sexual assault investigation will ensure a SARC is notified as soon as possible to 

ensure system accountability and victim access to services as needed. The 

supervisory special agent investigating the case ensures the SARCs are provided case 

numbers and the name of the assigned agent within 48 hours after the initial NCIS 

investigation.

2.10 Describe your continuing efforts to foster early coordination between 

investigators and judge advocates when initiating a sexual assault investigation.

NCIS notifies trial counsel of all Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault within 48 hours 

of the report. Trial counsel work with NCIS during the early stages of the investigation. 

When a victim has a VLC, NCIS, trial counsel, and VLC work together to enhance

victim participation and build confidence in the investigative and military justice 

process. With the investigator-prosecutor team, victims receive consistent 

communication regarding the investigation while reducing the possibility of 

miscommunication or confusion that occurs during the traditional transition or hand-off 

from investigator to prosecutor. 

Navy Trial Counsel Assistance Program (TCAP) personnel provide training for Navy 

prosecutors at the NCIS Advanced Adult Sexual Assault Investigations Training 

Program (AASAITP), a course focused on improving multidisciplinary coordination of 

sexual assault investigations. Regional Senior Trial Counsel (STC) meet at least 

monthly to coordinate case investigation and prosecution and foster early engagement 

by the response team. As noted above, Navy VLC assist victims in providing 

statements and relevant evidence to investigators to promote thorough investigation of 

the case. VLC are engaged in the process and coordinate with investigators.

SAFEs gather evidence that may aid in an investigation. Medical treatment and 

access for victims necessitated development of a robust, integrated, interdisciplinary 

program to ensure 24/7 availability of a SAFE in the major military treatment facilities. 

2.11 For Unrestricted and Restricted Reports, describe your efforts to ensure 

sexual assault documentation (DD Forms 2910 and 2911) is retained for 50 years 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

29

in accordance with Section 1723 of the NDAA for FY14. 

Navy executed records retention requirements in accordance with FY14 NDAA. For 

every Unrestricted Report of sexual assault, an electronic copy of the Defense 

Department (DD) Form 2910 Victim’s Preference Statement is uploaded into DSAID for 

retention for 50 years. A hard copy of the DD Form 2910 is maintained under doublelock filing for 50 years for every Restricted Report of sexual assault. Hard copies of 

DD Form 2910s for Unrestricted Reports are not maintained outside of DSAID. 

As required, DD Form 2911 DoD SAFE Report is collected by NCIS investigative 

personnel following a victim’s SAFE. The form is a required exhibit in the NCIS report 

of investigation, which, by policy, is retained for 50 years from the date the 

investigation is closed. NCIS considers all Restricted Reports as unsolved; therefore, 

SAFE kits are retained indefinitely. SARCs are not responsible for maintaining copies 

of the DD Form 2911. 

NCIS further ensures agency wide compliance by issuing internal policy informing 

NCIS personnel of the DoDI 5505.18 requirements involving records retention and 

inclusion of DD Form 2911. NCIS employs Program Support Assistants who are 

internally trained on records retention regulations. They are specifically trained on DoD 

standards enumerated within NCIS policy chapter “File Retention and Disposal of 

Closed Investigations, Operations, Sources and Security Clearance Adjudication 

Cases.” The NCIS HQ Records Management Division is responsible for the physical 

retention of NCIS investigative records.

2.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

NCIS field offices have the responsibility to maintain collaborative relationships with 

law enforcement agencies within their area of responsibility. When investigations of 

sexual assault fall within the primary jurisdiction of a local law enforcement agency, 

NCIS may initiate a joint investigation or assist the agency with investigative leads as 

deemed appropriate. During the course of the investigation, NCIS remains engaged 

with local law enforcement counterparts and reports the progress of the investigation to

the command. This enables continued visibility and awareness in the event that 

civilian authorities defer prosecution to the military, or if civilian prosecutors decline the 

case and NCIS decides to pursue additional investigative leads.

Navy Medicine provides oversight and policy to Navy’s healthcare providers, medical 

personnel, and commands. This oversight also includes Navy Medicine Regions, MTFs 

and branch clinics, partnering with regional commands, the Medical Officer of the U.S. 

Marine Corps, and civilian medical facilities. SAFEs may be conducted at civilian 

medical facilities to maintain a 24/7 response capability when such services are not 

available at the local military MTF or command. 

Navy Medicine has Memorandum of Understandings/Memorandum of Agreements 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

30

(MOUs/MOAs) with off base, non-military facilities for the purpose of providing medical 

care to eligible victims of sexual assault. The MOU/MOAs include:

• Instructions for the notification of a SARC (regardless of whether a Restricted or 

Unrestricted Report of sexual assault is involved);

• Procedures for the receipt of evidence;

• Restricted Report labelling procedures; and 

• Disposition of evidence by NCIS or the NCIS Consolidated Evidence Facility. 

2.13 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in the 

investigation of sexual assault.

NCIS intends to increase the availability of training and the number of agents who 

attend training. 

• NCIS partnered with Navy to develop strategies for delivering continuing 

education to agents and prosecutors while limiting the operational impact of 

attending the training. Specific strategies include using webinars and other 

delivery methods that remove travel costs and lost time in the workplace. 

• NCIS also partners with the U.S. Army CID in an advanced sexual assault 

investigation training course. 

Navy will continue to: 

• Ensure NCIS Investigates all allegations of sexual assault, to include both 

penetration and contact offenses;

• Monitor the timeliness of investigations within Navy as a measure of 

effectiveness in combating sexual assaults in the military; 

• Use judge advocates as Preliminary Hearing Officers for Article 32 preliminary 

hearings in order to enhance competence in the preliminary hearings of sexual 

assaults. 

• Coordinate with VLC to ensure victims are aware of their rights and benefits 

through ongoing training; and 

• Assess the value of the pilot program of providing MA support to NCIS.

3. LOE 3—Accountability—The objective of accountability is to “achieve high 

competence in holding offenders appropriately accountable.”

3.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Accountability Endstate: “perpetrators 

are held appropriately accountable.”

Holding alleged offenders appropriately accountable is a key element to sexual assault 

prevention and response. Pursuant to the DoD definition of LOE 3, this section 

focuses on Navy’s disposition and adjudication processes to hold offenders 

appropriately accountable.

Every effort is made within the confines of statutes and regulations to ensure alleged 

offenders are held appropriately accountable for their actions in accordance with Navy 

guidelines, policies, and procedures. Specific actions include:

• Leadership-driven prevention and response programs that address survivor care 

and, ultimately, hold assailants accountable for their actions as appropriate.

• Requiring immediate investigation of sexual assault reports;

• Handling all sexual assault reports with high importance and a sense of 

urgency;

• SA-IDAs carefully reviewing investigations and consulting with a judge advocate 

to make fully informed decisions on dispositions;

• Commanders understanding the full range of administrative and disciplinary 

actions that are available to address inappropriate behavior (i.e., informal 

counseling, comments in fitness reports and evaluations, administrative 

separation, and punitive measures under the UCMJ);

• Increased reporting of all known sexual assaults regardless of the duty status of 

the victim or subject;

• Providing senior leadership and command triads with training on changes to 

UCMJ Article 120, and other rule and policy changes in military justice affecting 

dispositions and adjudications of sexual assault.

Staff judge advocates and trial counsel support commanders throughout the military 

justice process. OJAG ensures appropriate resources to support victims and defend 

alleged offenders throughout the adjudication process. Navy judge advocates serve as 

Preliminary Hearing Officers for Article 32 preliminary hearings of sexual assaults to 

enhance competency in the military justice process. 

Navy Region Legal Service Offices (RLSO) have an experienced cadre of litigation 

specialists and military justice expert judge advocates serving in litigation-intensive 

billets. This includes the nine regional STC who prosecute the most complex cases 

while supervising, mentoring, and training junior trial counsel. More experienced O-5s 

have been placed as directors of litigation in the three largest prosecution offices. 

Navy TCAP supports the RLSOs by providing seasoned advice, assistance, and 

support throughout all phases of the investigation and court-martial process. TCAP is 

staffed by both uniformed and civilian personnel, including a nationally recognized 

former civilian prosecutor and a highly qualified expert. Within 48 hours of a sexual 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

32

assault notification, NCIS implements the ASAP as a component of Navy’s SVC/SVIP 

capability, which includes the prosecutors at the nine RLSOs and concerned 

commands. 

Pending investigations and prosecutions are reviewed weekly to ensure consistency of 

efforts and appropriate disposition recommendations across prosecution offices 

worldwide.

NCIS and prosecutors (RLSO STC or designee) are required to consult within 48 hours 

of report of a special victims’ crime. RLSO trial departments create an entry in the 

centralized case management database for all SVC/SVIP cases as soon as practicable 

after they are reported. SVC/SVIP cases are tracked weekly by Chief of Staff-RLSO.

After review of the NCIS investigation by a trial counsel, a Prosecutorial Merits 

Memorandum is sent to the commander recommending a certain disposition. The 

memorandum must be prepared for all SVC/SVIP cases and is typically completed 

when the RLSO receives the substantially completed investigation from NCIS. 

Depending on the case, the memorandum is provided to the commander (or SA-IDA) 

directly or is considered by a staff judge advocate/command services attorney in 

advising the commander on the appropriate disposition. The commander’s subsequent 

action, if different from the judge advocate’s recommendation, is subject to review by 

the commander’s immediate superior in command (ISIC), or in some cases the 

Secretary of the Navy.

3.2 Describe your progress in implementing a special victims’ advocacy/ counsel 

for victims. 

Navy VLC provides independent legal counsel to eligible sexual assault victims. 

Establishment of the VLC Program satisfies the “Special Victims’ Counsel” mandate of 

§1716 of the FY14 NDAA .

Staffed by 31 judge advocates and 10 administrative staff and providing victim support 

at 23 U.S. and overseas naval installations, Navy's VLC Program is driving increased 

reporting, including conversion of Restricted Reports to Unrestricted Reports and 

retention of victims in the investigative/adjudicative process through conclusion, 

resulting in more opportunities to hold perpetrators appropriately accountable. VLC 

assist victims with reporting options, work with victims through the investigative and 

military justice processes, advocate for the victim’s rights and interests, and help 

victims obtain access to other support resources.

On February 12, 2014, DoD issued DTM 14-003, “Department of Defense

Implementation of Special Victim Capability Prosecution and Legal Support,” setting

forth minimum standards for the training, selection, and certification of SVC/SVIP

prosecutors and legal support personnel as part of the SVC/SVIP program. Although 

not a component of SVC/SVIP, certification and decertification of Navy VLCs follow 

these guidelines. Navy VLC qualification requirements incorporating the “total person” 

concept include completion of the 2-year First Tour Judge Advocate Training Program, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

33

litigation experience, excellent interpersonal and communications skills, sound 

judgment, and a positive temperament. The rank and seniority of officers assigned as 

Navy VLC is also considered as part of a calculated plan to provide a purposeful mix of 

leadership, experience, and appropriate rank to serve and relate to the victim 

population. More than half of Navy’s VLCs in the field are O-4 and above. This is not 

unlike the relative mix of rank and seniority of Navy trial and defense counsel. The 

screened candidates are then personally interviewed and vetted by the Chief of Staff or 

Deputy Chief of Staff for the VLC Program, and either the Judge Advocate General or 

the Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Navy before assigned as a VLC. Each 

Navy VLC attends specialized training focused on victim’s rights, victim advocacy, and 

victim support issues before being officially certified by the Judge Advocate General to 

execute VLC duties.

VLC assist in holding offenders appropriately accountable by advocating on behalf of 

victims when necessary at Article 32 preliminary hearings, pretrial motion hearings and 

by being present at courts-martial to answer questions and prepare victims for their 

testimony. In FY14, Navy VLC assisted 719 sexual assault victims and advocated for 

their interests in 351 military justice proceedings, ranging from pretrial conferences to 

Article 32 hearings and courts-martial.

Navy VLC conduct extensive outreach among Fleet personnel, leadership, and other 

victim-support providers (SARCs, SAPR VAs, UVAs, healthcare providers, Family 

Advocacy Program (FAP) personnel, Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) 

representatives, chaplains, law enforcement, etc.) to promote awareness of VLC 

services and availability. These briefs addressed both the structure and nature of the 

VLC mission, highlighting the fact that victims could engage a judge advocate to 

advance and defend their interests. 

VLC outreach briefs support general prevention in highlighting sexual assault issues 

and the resulting disciplinary processes that may occur after an assault. This includes 

the addition of an attorney to support and assist the victim in that process. VLC 

support the improved investigation component by ensuring victims are aware of and 

understand their rights when participating in an investigation, and routinely assist 

victims in providing information to investigative agents. As of 26 Sep 2014, Navy VLC 

had provided 830 Outreach Briefs to 24,581 Fleet personnel. These briefs 

underscored the Navy’s commitment to its victims and a determination that victim rights 

and interests be protected. 

3.3 Describe your progress in ensuring those who are affiliated with the special 

victim capability program (paralegals, JAGs, Judges, special victim 

counsel/victim legal counsel, and victim-witness assistance personnel) receive 

specialized SAPR training for responding to allegations of sexual assault. 

Navy continuously adds new training modules to increase the abilities and capacity of 

individuals involved in accountability for sexual assault.

Judge Advocates

NJS provides the majority of Navy judge advocate training and prepares each judge 

advocate for courtroom litigation including a specialty course on litigating complex 

cases. Although how to effectively prosecute and defend sexual assault cases are 

components of many different NJS courses, the following specific courses on sexual 

assault litigation are the Navy’s most advanced:

• Prosecuting Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Assault: This course specifically 

addresses cases in which alcohol is a factor, teaching judge advocates how to 

make charging decisions in sexual assault cases, analyze credibility and 

corroboration, and try the case.

• Defending Sexual Assault Cases: In conjunction with the Center for American 

and International Law, this course provides defense counsel training on sexual 

assault litigation.

Judge advocates also participated in a multidisciplinary Sexual Assault Investigation 

and Prosecution Course. Mobile training teams comprised of Navy TCAP, U.S. Marine 

Corps TCAP, NCIS instructors, U.S. Army CID, and other external instructors 

presented the course to assist sexual assault investigators and prosecutors. Topics 

included working with the victim from the initial interview through direct and crossexamination, case corroboration, the undetected rapist, and unindicted co-conspirators. 

Specialized SAPR training will continue to enable judge advocates to better advise 

commanders, alleged offenders, victims, and witnesses on SAPR-related issues.

Specially Trained Trial Counsel

OJAG’s Criminal Law Division offers a SVC/SVIP course to train prosecutors, 

paralegals, SARCs, SAPR VAs, domestic violence VAs, VWAP personnel and other 

judge advocates. The training focuses on understanding the dynamics of special 

victim crimes, working with victims, and increasing collaboration of effort within the 

military justice system. This course improves and enhances victim care, victim 

support, prosecution support, and provides a more comprehensive and standardized 

response to allegations of sexual assault, child abuse, and serious domestic violence 

offenses.

OJAG continues to work with the Family and Sexual Violence Units, to include the 

ASAP teams. ASAPs consist of advanced-trained sexual assault NCIS investigators, 

and work in collaboration with SARCs, SAPR VAs, and judge advocates through the 

investigation and prosecution process. The ASAP initiative also includes early 

engagement with legal and victim advocacy personnel. 

All STC and a large majority of trial counsel attended the Prosecuting Alcohol 

Facilitated Sexual Assaults course and all prosecution offices completed a nine-hour 

online course of lectures on special victim offenses as of January 2014. The course 

collaborates with advisors from the Prosecutors Resource on Violence Against Women 

to teach trial skills, seminars, and lectures on various aspects of prosecuting alcohol 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

facilitated sexual assault. The Navy continues to assign Military Justice Litigation 

Qualified judge advocates to serve as STC. 

Trial Counsel and Defense Counsel Assistance Programs

In October 2010, OJAG established the TCAP and Defense Counsel Assistance 

Program (DCAP). Since their inception, the programs continue to grow and provide 

enhanced military justice training to both the trial and defense counsel, particularly in 

sexual assault cases. 

TCAP supports trial counsel and staff judge advocates concerning their representation 

in the courts-martial and post-trial process. TCAP conducts annual inspections on 

each prosecution office to ensure compliance with instructions, emphasize new

developments, and identify leading practices.

TCAP conducts training for trial counsel at every level of experience and expertise to 

educate and improve counsel judgment and performance. TCAP training includes

annual mobile training team site visits with flexible training sections on special victims’

crimes and process inspection. Mobile training teams conduct week-long training 

sessions in each of the nine RLSOs in coordination with NCIS, focusing on special

victims crimes. TCAP sponsors subject matter experts to conduct an interactive webbased training through Defense Connect Online. TCAP also provided in-person training 

at SVUIC in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and the Federal Law Enforcement Training 

Center.

DCAP runs Mobile Training Teams that visit the Defense Service Office headquarters 

and major detachments twice a year. These training visits focus on litigation and cover 

everything from in-court exercises to substantive topics like Military Rules of Evidence

(MREs) 412-414. The training provides tactics and strategies for defending sexual 

assault cases interwoven throughout all of the topics. In the last fiscal year, DCAP 

provided training to judge advocates, civilians, and Legalmen at Defense Service 

Office locations in San Diego (twice), Yokosuka, Japan (twice), Norfolk (twice), 

Bremerton, Naples, Italy, and the Washington Navy Yard. DCAP staff trained over 80 

personnel at these events.

Paralegals and Legalmen

As discussed above, paralegals and Legalmen attend the annual SVC/SVIP capability 

course presented by OJAG’s Criminal Law Division. The 2014 course had 239 

attendees, many of which were paralegals and Legalmen who received specialized 

instruction on integration with other SVIP and SAPR personnel.

Judges 

In FY14, all trial and appellate judges received training via webcast, focusing on a 

variety of legal issues and topics specific to sexual assault cases. This year’s training 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

36

efforts also included coordination and development of targeted mobile training teams, 

site visits with flexible training sections on special victims crimes and process 

inspection; live online training, archived online training, web-based recordings of 

previous training that can be accessed as needed as part of local training plans; and 

regionally-developed training plans. 

Victims’ Legal Counsel

Navy VLC participated in a number of significant training evolutions to prepare them for 

effective support of sexual assault victims. All VLC are certified to represent clients at 

courts-martial, pursuant to Article 27b of the UCMJ. VLC must attend initial VLC 

training given by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, or U.S. Navy. NJS co-sponsors 

certification training with the Navy’s Criminal Law Division, Code 20, as well as TCAP 

and the Navy VLC. Courses include the VLC Certification Course, Special Victims 

Capabilities Course, and Prosecuting Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Assault. In FY14, all 

Navy VLC attended and completed a certification course focused on victims’ rights, 

support, recovery, and victim advocacy. 

VLC also participated in several specialized “child victim” training courses executed by 

military and civilian experts prior to expansion of VLC services to minors in June 2014. 

This includes attendance of six VLC at child victim training provided by the National 

Crime Victims Law Institute and “Child Capacity” training presented by the American 

Bar Association’s Center for Children and Law to all VLC. VLC participate in routine 

training addressing victim-support issues relevant to successful delivery of services. 

This web-based training is conducted via the Defense Connect Online system and has 

included topics ranging from DNA collection, the Physical Evaluation Board System, 

key changes in victim rights and entitlements established by the FY14 NDAA , and 

resulting adjustments to the Rules for Courts-Martial. The VLC Program also operates 

a comprehensive Sharepoint site for internal communications, discussion boards, 

mentoring, development, and promulgation of “best practices,” and storage of victimsupport resources. 

Victim Witness Assistance Coordinators

VWAP training is covered in general required legal training and through review of 

DoD/SECNAV/OPNAV and JAG VWAP Instructions. The VWAP personnel training 

plan is being updated to ensure Victim Witness Liaison Officers and Victim Witness 

Assistance Coordinators stay current with changing policies and requirements.

3.4 Describe your progress in ensuring that if a service member is convicted by 

court-martial or receives a non-judicial punishment or punitive administrative 

action for a sex-related offense, a notation to that effect shall be placed in the 

service personnel record. 

NAVADMIN 189/14, Inclusion and Command Review on Sex-Related Offenses in 

Personnel Service Records, provides Navy’s policy for the inclusion of disposition 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

37

information and the mandatory review of annotated personnel records with sex-related 

offenses by the Service member’s commander. Sex-related offenses under this 

requirement include a violation of Articles 120, 120a, 120b, 120c, or 125 of the UCMJ; 

or an attempt to commit any of these offenses punishable under Article 80, UCMJ.

Navy requires that an official form Navy Personnel (NAVPERS) 1070/887, Sex Offense 

Accountability Record, be submitted and filed in the Service member’s Official Military 

Personnel File (OMPF) under Field Code 91. The Sex Offense Accountability Record 

must be filed within five business days of the court-martial conviction, imposition of 

NJP, or NJP appeal process by the command to Navy Personnel Command. Once the 

OMPF is updated, the record is available for commanders to review online through the

Bureau of Personnel (BUPERS).

In the case of an officer, reports of court-martial, NJP, final civil action, or misconduct 

are submitted to Navy Personnel Command, in accordance with Navy Military 

Personnel Manual (MILPERSMAN) Article 1611-010. The report, along with applicable 

endorsements from the officer and chain of command, are included in the member’s 

OMPF in accordance with BUPERS Instruction 1070.27C and MILPERSMAN Article 

1070-170 at the conclusion of administrative “show cause” proceedings outlined in 

SECNAVINST 1920.6C. 

3.5 Describe your progress to expand the availability, sequencing, and scope of 

commanders’ legal courses (e.g., range of command legal authorities and 

options). Include how you are assessing course outcomes. 

NJS provides the following training to Navy/Marine Corps commanders. Each block of 

instruction below includes sexual assault information:

Military Justice Training at the Senior Officer Course:

• Introduction to military justice training provides instruction on key military justice 

considerations for commanders that is relevant in sexual assault cases,

including an overview of the military justice process from investigation to 

appellate review, mandatory NCIS investigations, courts-martial forums, and 

differences between the military justice and civilian court systems with respect to 

self-incrimination, search and seizure, grand jury versus Article 32 preliminary

hearings, speedy trial, and sentencing.

• Search and seizure training provides instruction on search and seizure issues 

for commanders that is relevant in sexual assault cases to include elements of a 

Fourth Amendment search, probable cause searches, non-probable cause 

searches, and inspections and inventories.

• Self-incrimination training provides instruction on self-incrimination issues for 

commanders that is relevant in sexual assault cases to include the differences 

between Article 31b and Miranda rights, custodial interrogations, the 

exclusionary rule, the voluntariness doctrine, and self-reporting.

• Court-martial procedures training provides instruction on court-martial 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

38

procedures for commanders that is relevant in sexual assault cases to include 

personal and subject matter jurisdiction, Reservist jurisdiction, legal hold, double 

jeopardy, mechanics of convening and referral of charges, types of courtsmartial, roles at a court-martial, court-martial members, clemency, and post-trial 

review.

• Responsibilities of the convening authority training provides instruction on the 

responsibilities of a convening authority for commanders that is relevant in 

sexual assault cases to include the accuser concept, unlawful command 

influence, apprehension and pre-trial restraint, including the pre-trial 

confinement review process, speedy trial clock and excludable delay, and pretrial agreements.

• Hazing training provides instruction to commanders relevant to sexual assault 

cases. Some contact cases, especially male-on-male, are initially called 

“horseplay,” but actually constitute hazing or sexual assault. Instruction is 

provided on the hazing references, definitions, command responsibilities, and 

practical examples.

• SA-IDA training provides instruction to commanders on the Navy’s SA-IDA 

withholding policies, collateral misconduct, distinctions among Article 120 

offenses, mechanics of withholding and disposition decisions, initial 

considerations in sexual assault cases, and reporting requirements. 

• SAPR training is primarily taught by a SARC as a guest instructor. It provides 

training to commanders on SAPR policy, restricted and unrestricted reporting, 

SAPR personnel requirements, expedited transfers, SAFE kit/records retention, 

protected communications, and command responsibilities upon notification of an 

Unrestricted Report of sexual assault.

At the conclusion of instruction for the Senior Officers’ Course, NJS assesses the 

quality of the course through course critiques written by the students. Additionally, NJS 

instructors conduct seminar questions every day during the course, which include 

presenting hypothetical situations to the students who must apply the principles of the 

topics just reviewed the previous day.

3.6 Describe your effort to ensure the withholding of initial disposition authority 

in certain sexual assault cases from all commanders who do not possess at 

least Special Court Martial Convening Authority and who are not in the grade of 

O-6 or higher.

Within Navy, all allegations of sexual assault are appropriately forwarded to the SAIDA. Pursuant to ALNAV 052/14, the authority to dispose of the sex-related offenses is 

withheld to an SA-IDA officer in the grade of O-6 or above with special court-martial 

convening authority.

3.7 Describe your efforts to ensure SAPR first responder knowledge of MRE 514 

(Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege). 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

39

New accessions at the Basic Lawyer Course are trained on MRE 514 during the Article 

32 hearing and the courts-martial process segments of the course. All Navy 

prosecutors and NCIS special agents also receive MRE 514 training applicable to 

special victims’ crimes.

VLC work closely with Navy SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, and UVAs on all aspects of 

victim support, including training and understanding of the nature and scope of the 

victim advocate-victim privilege. VLC routinely discuss the parameters and impact of 

the privilege while working specific cases with SARCs, SAPR VA, UVAs and other first 

responders. 

3.8 Describe any treatment or rehabilitation programs implemented by your 

Service for those members who have been convicted of a sexual assault. 

Include any pertinent referrals such as drug and alcohol counseling, or other 

types of counseling or intervention. 

Navy offers training and education courses for court-martialed sex offenders and 

mandates all brig prisoners convicted of a sexual offense, including possession of child 

pornography, must attend a 10-week Sex Offender Education Course. The classes 

aim to provide education on the dynamics of sexual deviance and sexual perpetration; 

provide information regarding offense-specific treatment available during confinement; 

and motivate the prisoner to participate in such treatment. Any prisoner may request 

entry into the Sex Offender Treatment Program (SOTP), during which instructors 

respect prisoners’ privacy and do not request any personal disclosures. To continue 

rehabilitation, Navy recommends that prisoners convicted of a sexual offense attend 

offense-specific treatment upon release.

Navy offers Sailors various treatment programs at Naval Consolidated Brigs depending 

upon the length of their confinement and details of their offense. Prisoners with 

enough time to complete the 24-month SOTP are confined for treatment at Naval 

Consolidated Brig Miramar. The psycho-education modules include cognitive 

restructuring, victim impact training, cognitive and behavioral arousal reduction 

techniques, relationship skills, sexuality, and prevention of relapse. Psychiatric 

consultation or assessments are available. Prisoners without sufficient time on their 

sentences to complete the SOTP program are referred to community based programs 

after their release. Participation in these community programs is often stipulated as a 

condition of supervised release. All DoD female offenders are confined and treated at 

Naval Consolidated Brig Miramar, a Level III women’s facility. Charleston and 

Chesapeake Brigs provide substance abuse education and treatment, sex offender 

education, anger and stress management, and mental health crisis intervention.

Sex offenders frequently have simultaneous troubles with substance abuse and/or 

violence. Navy offers these conjunctive programs as needed: Violent Offender 

Treatment, Anger Management, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Drug and Alcohol 

Dependence Treatment. Aftercare programs include referrals to community-based 

treatment for continual care. Drug and alcohol counseling is provided for all military

members in Navy’s Drug and Alcohol program. 

3.9 NGB, describe how you are ensuring that all investigations are being referred 

to the NGB-JA/Office of Complex Investigations. 

Not applicable to U.S. Navy.

3.10 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

Across Navy, SARC, SAPR VAs and UVAs continue to have successful relationships, 

collaborations, and relationships with civilian organizations including SARTs, local rape 

crisis centers, civilian law enforcement agencies, sexual assault forensic facilities, local 

domestic violence agencies, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender centers, etc. 

This collaboration allows for synchronized response, dissemination of current 

information, and provision of relevant training on setting healthy sexual boundaries, 

predatory behavior, self-defense, safe dating strategies, and bystander intervention. 

VLC routinely communicate with local civilian prosecutors and law enforcement 

organizations to assist military victims participating in local or state investigations or 

prosecution of sexual assault offenses. VLC cannot represent military victims in 

civilian proceedings, but can ensure victims make contact with relevant civilian 

authorities, have a general understanding of the civilian criminal justice system, and 

are aware of extensive military support resources regardless of civilian action. 

Across Navy, training is conducted with healthcare providers and VAs from local 

organizations to increase and ensure understanding of SAPR program requirements 

and the military justice processes. This increases Navy’s ability to collaborate with and 

increase their ability to assist in cases with the military community. Ongoing meetings 

are held with civilian agencies to build relationships and discuss program 

enhancements, resources, and concerns that impact the provision of victim care, 

assistance, and evidence collection.

3.11 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in 

holding offenders appropriately accountable.

The first step in holding offenders appropriately accountable is to ensure that sexual 

assaults are reported. The Navy’s awareness campaign about the issue and the 

increased support services for victims are key components of Navy’s plan to 

encourage and improve reporting. Additional efforts that will impact and enhance 

competence in holding offenders appropriately accountable include the following:

• Encourage victims, especially male victims, to report sexual assaults by striving 

to eliminate any stigma or fears of victim blaming that are often associated with 

sexual assaults. This will allow authorities to hold offenders appropriately 

accountable for their actions. 

• Conduct specialized military and civilian sexual assault training courses (for 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

41

example, Prosecuting Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Assault course, Defending 

Sexual Assault Cases course), as necessary. 

• Promote externships for judge advocates in sexual assault units of state district 

attorney offices.

• Heighten the awareness of Navy’s VLC Program and provide additional 

specialized training to VLC.

• Complete the Video Vignettes Project to instruct judge advocates about skills 

and techniques fundamental to sexual assault litigation.

• Enhance judicial training for judges to ensure they continue to receive updated 

SAPR policies training.

• Update and re-publish the TCAP’s Prosecuting Alcohol Facilitated Sexual 

Assault Manual.

• Continue publication of all court-martial results of trial to increase transparency 

of accountability actions and deter other potential offenders. 

• Continue ensuring that NCIS investigations of sexual assault allegations lead to 

appropriate disposition or adjudication.

• Continue training for commanders and senior leadership.

• Maintain detailing of more experienced O-5s as directors of litigation (STC) into 

the three largest prosecution offices. 

• Continue providing judge advocate support in the implementation of ASAP in all 

fleet concentration areas. 

Navy will continue to emphasize the importance of SARCs collaborating and 

coordinating with MCIOs as a part of continued efforts to promote prevention and 

awareness through training and events. Additionally, SARCs' collaboration and 

communication with command leadership will convey messaging of a command 

climate where offenders will be held appropriately accountable while also ensuring that 

victims receive the full range of support and advocacy available under the SAPR 

Program.

3.12 Percentage of SVIP cases preferred, compared to overall number of courts 

martial preferred in FY14.

In FY14, charges were preferred in 495 courts-martial cases. Of those cases with 

preferred charges, 40% included allegations of adult sexual assault.

3.13 Percentage of special victim offense courts-martial tried by, or with the 

direct advice and assistance of a specially trained prosecutor

In FY14, all RLSO STC received specialized training and were SVC/SVIP-certified. 

Given that all SVC/SVIP cases are under the direct supervision of STC, 100% of 

SVC/SVIP courts-martial have been tried either by STC or with the direct advice and 

assistance of a specially trained prosecutor.

4. LOE 4—Advocacy/Victim Assistance--The objective of advocacy/victim 

assistance is to “deliver consistent and effective victim support, response, and 

reporting options.”

4.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Advocacy/Victim Assistance Endstate: 

“high quality services and support to instill confidence and trust, strengthen 

resilience, and inspire victims to report.” Include responsibilities established in 

DoDI 6400.07, enclosure 2.

Increased reporting of this universally underreported crime is central to the prevention 

of and response to sexual assault. Continued leadership visibility and support are 

critical to Navy’s strategy of building trust among sexual assault victims and 

maintaining their privacy and confidentiality throughout the SAPR process. Navy’s goal

is to ensure every Sailor has access to reporting, support, and confidence in their 

command’s ability to appropriately hold alleged offenders accountable. 

Navy remains committed to increasing victim confidence in reporting incidents. 

Personnel who provide direct support to victims are critical to this effort. Although 

Navy SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, UVAs, chaplains, VLC and other victim assistance 

personnel are responsible for advocacy coordination, medical services, legal support 

and counseling for the victim, none of these services can occur without the victim first 

making a report. Sailors who trust that the command will respond appropriately are 

more likely to report sexual assaults. To encourage and support reporting, Navy 

instituted several actions:

• Navy established DRC positions aboard all aircraft carriers and large-deck 

amphibious assault ships to provide Sailors with critical support services during 

deployment by working cooperatively with military and civilian medical providers, 

social service, law enforcement, chaplains, and legal personnel on behalf of 

sexual assault victims. DRCs conduct immediate victim response, needs 

assessment, referrals, and other coordination in response to allegations of 

sexual assault. They also offer an alternative means for male victims to report 

sexual assault.

• The Navy’s VLC Program provides sexual assault victims with direct, no-cost 

access to their own lawyer who can provide legal advice, assistance, and 

advocacy across a range of victim rights and interests. VLC services are 

intended to garner greater victim trust, confidence, awareness, and comfort in 

the Navy sexual assault response system by male and female victims. 

• The VWAP ensures victims and witnesses of crime are afforded their rights 

throughout the criminal justice process, from the investigator’s initial contact 

through any period of confinement adjudged. Navy policy requires all commands 

to appoint Victim Witness Liaison Officers to oversee the VWAP in their areas of 

responsibility. The Liaison Officer works with the RLSO to provide additional 

support.

• Unrestricted reporting victims can request an expedited transfer to a new 

command. Military and civilian protective orders are also a means by which the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

43

rights and safety of victims are protected if they choose to come forward. 

• Navy stresses the importance of diversity in rank, age, and gender among UVAs

to encourage reporting by victims. 

• Navy evaluates SAPR services to ensure care is gender-responsive, culturally 

sensitive, and recovery-oriented. Moreover, all military treatment facilities, along 

with deployable units with organic medical departments, have gender-specific 

treatment protocols for caring for sexual assault victims. 

• All first responder training includes a module on gender responsiveness and 

encourages the development of methodologies to better assess and provide 

oversight to Navy’s gender-responsiveness efforts.

• Recognizing the importance of confidentiality, Navy is developing a campaign to 

protect the privacy of all Service member victims, including males, who seek 

assistance and treatment. This includes revising the data collection and 

reporting process to limit the release of personnel information to only official 

need-to-know personnel or as authorized by law. 

• Navy uses the Safe Helpline as the primary crisis intervention tool. The Safe 

Helpline provides live, confidential, one-on-one crisis intervention and 

information to the worldwide DoD community. Continuous promotion of the 

website enables victims to seek assistance in a confidential and informal 

manner through consistent responses by trained advocates.

4.2 Describe your progress in allowing Reserve Component Service members 

who are victims of sexual assault while on active duty to remain on active duty 

status to obtain the treatment and support afforded active duty members.

Regardless of when the incident occurred, Navy ensures that Reserve Component 

(RC) personnel are afforded both Restricted and Unrestricted reporting options. 

Regardless of the type of report, RC members have access to medical treatment and 

counseling for injuries and illness incurred from a sexual assault experienced when 

performing active service or inactive duty training. However, medical entitlements for 

RC members remain dependent upon a Line of Duty (LOD) determination as to 

whether or not the sexual assault incident occurred in an active or inactive duty training 

status, in accordance with SECNAVINST 1770.3D. A LOD determination is written 

authorization documenting benefits for any illness, injury, or disease incurred or 

aggravated by a Reservist while in a duty status. The LOD determination statement 

will specify the benefits for which the member is eligible. It further defines eligibility to 

other services based on the victim’s status at the time of the incident.

While not performing active service or inactive training, members are eligible to receive 

limited SAPR services from a SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, UVA, or VLC. Emergent care is 

authorized.

RC members are informed as soon as practicable after an alleged assault of the option 

to request continuation or retention on active duty for the purpose of completing the 

LOD determination. If the victim’s request is denied, the RC member may appeal to 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

44

the first Flag Officer in the member’s chain of command. In the case of such an 

appeal, a decision on the appeal must be made within 15 days from the date of appeal. 

RC victims, with their consent, may also be provided orders on active duty (or be

continued on active duty) to complete authorized medical care, or medically evaluated 

for disability or to complete a required DoD healthcare study, which may include an 

associated medical evaluation. 

In cases of Restricted Reports, LOD determinations shall be made without the Service 

member being identified to the chain of command as a victim of sexual assault. 

• The Request for LOD Benefits, DD Form 261 (Report of Investigation Line of 

Duty and Misconduct Status), and the associated enclosures shall be written, 

edited, and/or handled in a manner to preclude the commander from connecting 

an individual to the specific circumstances of the injury, illness, or disease. LOD 

requests for Restricted Reports shall be marked and directed to remain within 

the possession of individuals with the ability to maintain covered 

communications (e.g., SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, UVA, VLC, or Healthcare 

Provider). 

• The SARC may provide documentation that substantiates the victim’s duty 

status at the time of the incident, as well the fact that a Restricted Report has 

been made to a designated official and documented via a DD Form 2910.

• The appropriate SARC will brief the person designated to process the LOD 

determination on Restricted Reporting policies, exceptions to Restricted 

Reporting, and the limitations of disclosure of covered communications. The 

SARC and command-designated individual may consult with the servicing legal 

office or VLC in the same manner as other recipients of privileged information 

for assistance, exercising due care to protect covered communications by 

disclosing only non-personally identifiable information. Unauthorized disclosure 

may result in disciplinary action. 

The modification of the LOD process for Restricted Reporting does not extend to pay 

and allowances or travel and transportation incident to the healthcare entitlement. 

However, the Service member may affirmatively change the reporting option to 

Unrestricted on the DD Form 2910 at any time in order to be considered for the full 

range of entitlements authorized.

4.3 Describe your progress in ensuring that a member of the Reserve 

Components, who is a victim of sexual assault by another member of the 

Reserve Components, has timely access to a Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinator. 

RC members have access to SAPR services through the supporting Navy Operational 

Support Center or gaining command. Direct access to a SARC is based on an 

individual’s location. However, a Navy SARC is aligned to every RC command 

regardless of proximity to a naval installation in order to guarantee that RC victims are 

offered SAPR services and advised of their rights and benefits. Reservists assigned to 

geographically isolated, non-fleet concentrated areas are supported by a designated 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

45

installation SARC who may not be physically located within the same area. The 

regional or other SARC is also available via telephone on a 24/7 basis. Commanders

of RC commands are required to designate at least one UVA and receive support from

the nearest naval installation SARC. Victims may also access SAPR services via the 

Safe Helpline and local watchbills. SARCs assist commands to obtain posters, 

brochures, training, and other resource materials about SAPR Program services, 

eligibility, points of contact, and resources. 

4.4 List the total number of full-time SARC/SAPR VAs serving at brigade or 

equivalent level. If not at 100%, describe your efforts to achieve 100% fill. 

To be in compliance with this FY14 NDAA requirements, Navy was required to provide 

64 full-time equivalent (FTE) SARC and 64 FTE SAPR VA positions navy-wide. Navy 

exceeds this number with a total of 75 SARCs and 67 FTE SAPR VAs as well as 5,472 

D-SAACP certified UVAs who are screened by SARCs and designated by their 

respective commanders. 

4.5 Describe what measures have been taken by your Service to ensure that 

Service members are informed in a timely manner of the member’s option to 

request a Military Protective Order (MPO) from the command of assignment. 

Include documentation that requires law enforcement agents to document MPOs 

in their investigative case files, to include documentation for Reserve 

Component personnel in title 10 status.

Navy policy and training require SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, UVAs, and VLC to provide 

sexual assault victims information about MPOs or CPOs as an option upon initial 

contact and at the completion of an initial safety assessment. Completion of this action 

is documented on DD Form 2965 SAPR Program Intake Data Form. SARCs also 

document all services offered and MPO status in DSAID. Options and limitations of 

MPOs/CPOs are explained to the victim upon filing a report of sexual assault. For 

example, victims electing Restricted Reports are advised that requesting an MPO is 

not an option.

Commanders are advised of the benefits and limitations of MPOs/CPOs and issue 

MPOs when circumstances warrant. The status of MPOs issued are reviewed during 

the monthly SACMG and documented in meeting minutes within DSAID. 

VLC are specifically tasked with assessing victim safety and security when meeting 

with sexual assault victims. NJS provides training on MPOs during the senior officer 

course in both the SAPR and SA-IDA classes. The training covers the Service 

member’s right to seek an MPO and the commander’s obligations to consider MPOs 

when appropriate. 

4.6 Describe your efforts to establish processes for reviewing credentials, 

qualifications, and refresher training for victim-sensitive personnel positions. 

Describe your Service’s process to address inappropriate behavior 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

46

demonstrated by those in victim-sensitive personnel positions. Include process 

for revocation of certification if appropriate. 

Navy strives to care for victims and strengthen their resilience following a sexual 

assault by providing high-quality response services and a safe environment. Victim 

support for Navy Service members relies on a broad, coordinated network of trained 

and certified personnel.

Through D-SAACP, Navy uses a cadre of certified and professional SARCs, DRCs, 

SAPR VAs, and UVAs, trained and committed to upholding the highest standards of 

victim advocacy and privacy. SARCs serve as the single point of contact to coordinate 

response when a sexual assault is reported, while DRCs, SAPR VAs, and UVAs

facilitate care and provide referrals and non-clinical support and advocacy to victims. 

The D-SAACP process ensures that SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, and UVAs meet 

ethical and professional standards through verification of training requirement 

completion, background checks, and recommendation letters from 

commanders/supervisors and SARCs. SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, and UVAs who do 

not meet these standards are not permitted to work with a victim of sexual assault. 

NAVADMIN 095/14 (implementation of the D-SAACP) provides fleet-wide guidance on 

the certification and revocation procedures for certified SARCS and certified installation 

SAPR VAs and UVAs. Credentials and qualifications are carefully reviewed prior to 

hiring victim-sensitive personnel across Navy. Background checks are initiated, 

interviews are conducted, and outstanding training is initiated prior to participating in 

victim-sensitive activities. 

In accordance with BUMED Instruction (BUMEDINST) 6310.11 Enclosure 8, paragraph 

4, annual sustainment training is completed by healthcare providers using primary and 

secondary DVDs, Sexual Assault Forensics and Clinical Management: A Virtual 

Practicum and Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations in Navy Medicine. Healthcare 

providers without pelvic or genitalia examination competency or privileging will 

complete the standard Navy Medical SAFE Competency Assessment (NAVMED 

6310/7) annually and complete sustainment training requirements. Training 

compliance is tracked in Fleet Management & Planning Systems. Navy Medicine 

currently provides credentials and privileges every two years in accordance with joint 

commission medical staff standards. Additionally, clinical support staff nurses are 

credentialed at each new duty station and at two year intervals. Personnel who do not 

meet the standard requirements are not authorized to perform SAFEs.

Within Navy, revocation of SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, or UVA certification may be based 

on violation of one or more established adverse actions, administrative inquiries, or 

investigative procedures. Any inappropriate behaviors exhibited and/or lapse in 

qualifications or credential requirements are forwarded to command leadership and the 

area SARC for action/revocation. If UVA requirements are violated, the command 

leadership and SARC will address and potentially relieve that individual of SAPR 

duties, including revoking the SAPR certification.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

47

Before revocation of a SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, or UVA certification, the Commander 

must ensure the following minimum standards and procedures are met:

• A timely and appropriate inquiry is conducted.

• The SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, or UVA is notified in writing that a complaint has 

been received, an inquiry has been initiated, and the authority to perform SARC, 

DRC, SAPR VA, and UVA duties is suspended until reinstated by the responsible 

commander.

• Any and all unrestricted allegations of sexual assault are reported to the 

appropriate MCIO and all procedures for Unrestricted Reporting are followed.

The Commander will notify the individual in writing when suspending or revoking a DSAACP certification within three business days of the suspension or revocation. 

Should the complaint prove unfounded, the Commander will reinstate the SARC, DRC, 

SAPR VA, or UVA via re-issuance of an appointment letter.

All individuals performing the duties of a SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, or UVA must 

immediately self-report if they believe they are no longer eligible for continued 

certification. All self-reports may render those SARCs, DRC, SAPR VAs, or UVAs

ineligible for initial or continued certification.

4.7 Describe your progress in ensuring all SARC and SAPR VAs are D-SAACP 

certified prior to performing the duties of a SARC and SAPR VA. 

Navy-wide implementation of rigorous guidelines and requirements ensures victims are 

receiving high-quality services and support from SARCs and first responders. All 

SARCS, DRCs, SAPR VAs, and UVAs complete the National Advocate Credentialing 

Program, complete all CNIC pre-approved initial training, and are credentialed prior to 

serving in the capacity of a SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, or UVA. Certification from the 

National Organization for Victims Assistance (NOVA) to individual applicants includes a 

D-SAACP unique identification number and validity dates and serves as official proof of 

certification status. Training completion is verified prior to performing duties.

As part of the D-SAACP certification process, SARCs, DRCs, SAPR VAs, and UVAs 

must agree to follow a Code of Ethics for victim engagement and complete ongoing 

refresher training that emphasizes compassionate and trauma informed care for 

victims of sexual violence. CNIC HQ SAPR standardized continuing education by 

reviewing and approving all SARC-generated SAPR refresher training provided to 

SAPR VAs. Monthly D-SAACP pre-approved refresher training is provided to SARCs 

and SAPR VAs via webinar and in-person annual SARC training. CNIC HQ SAPR 

developed a two-hour ethics training for SARCs and SAPR VAs to address how to 

handle inappropriate behavior and ethics violations. For D-SAACP revocation, CNIC 

HQ SAPR requires a written request for revocation that is sent to NOVA and OSD 

SAPRO. 

In order to maintain certification through D-SAACP, support personnel must satisfy the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

48

D-SAACP continuing education training guidelines and apply for certification renewal 

every two years. Applicants must complete a new D-SAACP application packet (DD 

Form 2950) and show proof of 32 hours of the National Advocate Credentialing 

Program and CNIC pre-approved continuing education training for certification renewal. 

The training must be comprised of 30 hours of prevention and advocacy training and 

two hours of ethics training. Applications must be approved by the NOVA before the 

current certification expires.

4.8 Describe your continued efforts to ensure that the 24/7 DoD Safe Helpline has 

accurate contact information for on-base SAPR resources (i.e., Chaplains, 

SARCs, Military Police, Medical Personnel).

Navy regularly conducts audits of the Safe Helpline contact information to ensure its 

accuracy and accessibility and requires that SARCs immediately notify HQ of any 

changes to telephone numbers included in the Navy SAPR Program’s three-tiered 

response, including 24/7 response numbers. 

All installation SARC and SAPR contacts are monitored via auditing phone calls to 

ensure a proper response to a potential victim looking for assistance in locating 

advocacy services (while still maintaining the Restricted Report option). In order to 

verify that the right person answers the phone and is able to provide the right services 

and information, random phone calls are made to check different installations each 

month. 

Pursuant to CNICINST 1752.2A, Monthly SAPR Validation Procedures, Regional 

Operation Centers conduct 100% monthly validation calls that confirm both the 

accuracy of the listed 24/7 response numbers and ensure that response is taking place 

within the required timeframes. The CNIC HQ Battle Watch Captain conducts monthly 

random spot checks to 10% of Navy installations. The results of these monthly calls 

are reported to CNIC HQ SAPR, where monthly random spot checks on 10% of Navy 

installations are also conducted on a monthly basis. All results are reported quarterly 

to DON SAPRO. 

As part of the DoD Safe Helpline semi-annual audit, CNIC HQ SAPR follows up on all 

unconfirmed or non-working SAPR 24/7 response, SARC, and first responder numbers 

to ensure accuracy. 

4.9 Describe your efforts to publicize various SAPR resources, such as DoD Safe 

Helpline, to all Service Members. 

Across Navy, SAPR resources are publicized through posters, brochures, electronic 

media, and events throughout the year. It is mandatory that commands include a 

minimum of three means of contacting a local SAPR VA on command websites. The 

following examples show SAPR resource publicity:

• The CNIC HQ SAPR webpage provides SAPR information to victims, 

bystanders, friends and family, and commands. The webpage also provides 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

49

victims with an understanding of the program’s crisis response services, 

including an explanation of the different reporting options; bystanders with tools 

to prevent a sexual assault and information on available services to victims; and 

commanders with required actions on what their responsibilities are to create a 

climate of prevention and information on an appropriate response. The 

webpage also provides information on the DoD Safe Helpline. 

• Overseas, local Armed Forces Network radio and television are used to 

broadcast SAPR commercials and discussions with commanders, Command 

Master Chiefs (CMCs), and SARCs wherein SAPR numbers are advertised. 

• At USNA, laminated, wallet-sized response cards with SAPR resource 

information are provided to all Midshipmen, faculty, and staff during the 

academic year. Sponsor parents are also briefed by SAPR staff, and available 

resources and contact information is highlighted. 

• Many organizations include SAPR contact information in their Plans of the 

Week/Month.

• The Naval Reserve Force uses The New Republic magazine to publicize FY14 

Sexual Assault Awareness Month activities and provide a point of contact list of 

SAPR Program Managers. 

• Commands are required to widely disseminate information to include telephone 

numbers for available resources. Key SAPR personnel and available resources 

are also highlighted during GMT and SAPR stand-downs.

4.10 Describe your progress in ensuring victims are afforded their legal rights, 

protections, and services. 

Immediately following a Restricted or Unrestricted Report of a sexual assault, the DD 

Form 2910 is reviewed with the victim by the SARC, DRC, SAPR VA, or UVA. The 

victim receives a copy of this form which lists certain rights and provides, an 

explanation of the reporting options, protections and services. 

Individuals reporting sexual assault offenses within Navy are advised of their rights and 

provided a copy of DD Form 2701, Federal Victim Rights. In addition, victims are 

referred to SARC, DRC, SAPR VAs, UVAs, or VLC for further explanation of their 

rights if they initially seek assistance via an individual who is not authorized to take 

Restricted or Unrestricted Reports. 

4.11 Describe your progress to improve the victim care services at Joint Bases, 

in Joint Environments, and for the Reserve Components. 

Due to diverse geographic locations, Navy personnel have the option to receive U.S. 

Army, U.S. Air Force, or other Joint SAPR VA assistance. Navy’s goal is to promote 

improved victim care services within joint environments, and joint bases, as well as for 

Reservists. SAPR VAs from other Services who take a sexual assault report involving 

a Navy Sailor provide a personal hand-off to the Navy SARC and SAPR VA in order to 

ensure that any Service-specific reporting and investigation requirements are 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

50

conducted.

As a part of FY14 efforts, SARCs integrated other Service UVAs onto the installation 

watch bill and refresher training, discussed joint program measures as a part of the 

CO’s toolkit briefing, and incorporated joint environment issues and RC requirements 

into their SAPR training to better educate other Services’ tenant commands and 

Reserve members. SARCs, regardless of where they are located, support RC victims 

of sexual assault, regardless of duty status, as explained in 4.2.

Navy and other Services transitioned to DSAID to improve individual case tracking and 

reporting capabilities. 

Regions have reported the following promising practices: 

• On Joint Base San Antonio, the SAPR programs of all Services are housed 

together in one central “SAPR Office.” Everyone, including Navy VLC, is under 

one roof, which makes for a one-stop service center. MCIOs come to the office 

to conduct victim interviews in a designated interview room. The building is 

centrally-located in the middle of the student population, making access easier. 

• At Joint Base Charleston the Services are on two different bases. They provide 

support and attend each other’s meetings. Neither are located at Fleet and 

Family Support Centers (FFSC) offices, so they have direct access to the 

commander and mission partner commands. They work closely with security 

forces to ensure proper procedures are in place for victims at either the U.S. Air 

Force base or the Weapons Station. SARCs also conduct visits and training at 

their assigned Navy Operational Support Center, which has markedly increased 

SAPR awareness in the reserve community.

• In Naval District Washington DC, SARCs engage in multiple opportunities to 

promote victim care services in joint environments and with RCs. Examples 

include attending multi-Service SARC meetings and monthly SACMGs on U.S. 

Army and U.S. Marine Corps Installations with Navy Commands. Participation

in these meetings allows for easier collaboration on awareness activities and 

sharing of best practices between Services to ensure seamless interaction 

between SAPR programs in the event that a sexual assault occurs. 

Navy VLC provide support to eligible sexual assault victims regardless of whether they 

are stationed on joint bases or in joint environments. The Service victims’ counsel 

programs routinely cooperate to ensure that area victims establish communications 

with the appropriate VLC provider. The Navy VLC Program is available to all Navy 

Reserve sexual assault victims regardless of the circumstances of their assault. 

4.12 Describe your progress in strengthening participation in an integrated 

victim services network of care.

Keeping local leaders informed of the status of the SAPR program within their area of 

responsibility is critical to their ability to stay engaged and drive results. Navy has 25 

dedicated SAPRO billets to directly support the commanders of major staffs, type 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

51

commands, and Navy regions. SAPROs work closely with local SARCs, SAPR 

program managers, and local SAPR stakeholders such as NCIS special agents, staff 

judge advocates and trial counsel, chaplains, and healthcare providers. SAPROs

provide program continuity and ensure understanding and proper execution of policy, 

training, and oversight activities. 

Another initiative that supports continued command awareness and engagement is the 

establishment of a permanent Navy Reserve Forces SAPR Program Manager, who 

reports directly to the Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command. This individual 

greatly improves the ability of Navy Reserve Forces Command to provide oversight, 

manage the SAPR program more effectively, and best support the unique 

requirements of Navy Reserve Sailors. 

SARCs collaborative efforts with local military and civilian stakeholders resulted in 

streamlined protocols in managing cases and increased compliance with SACMG 

participation. 

Navy installation Commanders are responsible for implementing and executing an 

effective SAPR program to meet requirements and incorporate a coordinated approach 

between medical, mental health, legal, investigative, security, chaplain, FFSC, and 

civilian resources to include establishing MOUs/MOAs, where necessary, in order to 

provide required services. Sexual assault victims receive priority in the emergency 

room for trauma-focused SAFEs as well as victim recovery services available through 

mental health departments.

First responders continue to coordinate with each other and local civilian resources to 

provide optimal services. For example:

• Chaplains provide an important resource for supporting the emotional healing 

and successful reintegration of victims back into the command, regardless of 

victim religious affiliation or beliefs.

• Victim-centered support for sexual assault victims requires addressing physical 

and psychological trauma, appropriate coordination of care, and collection of 

medical-forensic evidence. Medical regional program management created and 

implemented victim care protocols to ensure standardized and coordinated care 

for victims of sexual assault. BUMED promulgates policy to ensure the total 

array of medical assistance is available to eligible victims of sexual assault. 

• Many installations conducted SAPR drills to test the integrated victim response 

process. These drills are now standardized and required twice per year via 

CNICINST 1752.3 of 29 September 2014.

• In the Metro San Diego Area, FFSC established male and female victim support 

groups for active duty sexual assault victims. The women's sexual assault 

group was established in June 2012 and has been instrumental in the healing 

process for numerous female sexual assault victims. Victims volunteer for this 

group and have found it very empowering in keeping them engaged in the 

investigative and prosecutorial processes. The male group, established in 

January 2013, is a different model and continually evolves according to its 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

participants’ input.

• Sex University, conducted in PACFLT, provides awareness of personal 

responsibility in a gender-specific, small group atmosphere. Participants 

engage in discussion to help them find support, understand how to support 

others and learn risk management. 

• CNIC conducts Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual (LGB)-centric training, developed to 

meet the diverse needs of all LGB members of the community by collectively 

increasing awareness and sensitivity of everyone alike through knowledgebased practice, training, non-judgmental interaction with LGB individuals.

Navy-wide, peer-to-peer influences of indoctrination training ensure visibility of the 

program and the expectations of maintaining a safe climate, as well as collaboration 

with command CSADD chapters to address the importance of abstaining from 

destructive behaviors.

4.13 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian victim response 

organizations to improve interoperability. 

Collaboration between military and civilian organizations is important to the success of 

any SAPR program. To this end, partnerships have been developed with local rape 

crisis centers, state coalitions, hospitals, police departments, legal aid organizations, 

and community mental health resources. These partnerships are solidified by 

collaborating on volunteer victim advocate training and participating in local SARTs to 

be aware of trends and incidents of sexual assault in the local area. 

OPNAV requires Navy Base Commanders to identify and maintain a liaison with 

civilian sexual assault victim resources, establishing MOUs and MOAs with relevant 

community agencies such as community crisis counseling centers and private or public 

sector sexual assault councils to supplement efforts and to implement program 

requirements where appropriate and useful. 

All Navy Medicine 24/7 emergency rooms maintain sexual assault response 

capabilities in accordance with the DoDI 6495.02 series and FY14 NDAA. However, 

some remote facilities and other claimancies have established MOUs/MOAs with local 

civilian hospitals where resources are better positioned for victim care services after 

hours or when in-house care is impractical.

VLC routinely communicate and collaborate with civilian victim response organizations 

for both victim-focused training to improve VLC services directly supporting of Navy 

victims. 

Regions have reported the following promising practices: 

• Northwest - Naval Base Kitsap conducts a monthly meeting titled, “Kitsap 

Special Assault Unit,” in which military and civilian victim advocates, civilian 

prosecutors, civilian law enforcement, NCIS, Child Protective Service, Adult 

Protective Service, juvenile justice, corrections, probation, and tribal personnel 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

53

meet to discuss challenging cases, changes in policies, legislative changes, and 

strengthening relationships. In addition, participants discuss lessons learned, 

opportunities for increased collaboration, and areas for growth.

• Hawaii - SARCs are part of the Community Action Team (CAT) comprised of the 

Hawaii Department of Health, other Service SARCs in Hawaii, universities, the

Sex Abuse Treatment Center, and various non-profit organizations who support 

sexual assault victims in Hawaii. The team meets annually to address state-wide 

issues of sexual assault and share strategic planning ideas and 

implementations.

• Singapore - Logistics Command Western Pacific/Singapore Area Coordinator 

and the local NCIS Field Office have established close relationships with local 

Singaporean organizations to reduce the impact of high-risk behaviors. The 

Singapore Area Coordinator also works with a local women’s support group and 

Singapore American Community Action Council to provide counseling services 

for members who have been victims of sexual assault or domestic violence, or 

who are dealing with substance abuse. NCIS works closely with the Singapore 

Police Force on investigations and collaborative training.

• Mid-Atlantic Partners in Reducing Sexual Assault collaboration connects key 

players from the military installations and local communities to join together to 

combine knowledge and resources.

• Region Japan provides the primary means of support to all civilians on base, but 

has also partnered with civilian victim response organizations. These groups are 

used to supplement the victim response, as they are not the exact equivalent of 

a U.S based region. In the case where a Japanese national is assaulted by a 

military member on base, SAPR services will be afforded to the victim. 

• USNA - Members of the USNA SAPR Office attend monthly meetings with the 

local SART, which offers a multidisciplinary approach to sexual assault 

prevention. Key stakeholders such as Anne Arundel Medical Center, YWCA of 

Annapolis, local Rape Crisis Center, and area Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinators from neighboring Navy installations all come together to review 

case studies, share best practices and discuss trend analysis locally. USNA also 

collaborates with Mercy Medical Center’s Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, who 

periodically addresses the Midshipmen regarding forensic evidence collection 

and the medical process. Additionally, the USNA response team attends

briefings and conferences offered by the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual 

Assault on relevant topics and invites staff to address the Midshipmen 

periodically as well.

• Reserve Component Commands have regional Psychological Health Outreach 

Program teams attached to them to assist any victim with issues of mental 

health, resiliency, and support services. These teams will provide initial 

assessment, place them with appropriate counseling services close to the 

victim, and continue to monitor their case.

• “Dream Worlds” Leadership Training at Joint Base Little Creek facilitates 

discussion among command triads about influential media, celebrities, music, 

and games on the attitudes and behaviors of Sailors. Increased leadership

awareness of environmental factors that affect the personal behaviors of Sailors 

is crucial to maintaining professional standards and improving sexual assault 

prevention efforts. 

4.14 Provide an assessment of the implementation of your expedited victim 

transfer request policy. Include measures taken to ensure victims are informed 

in a timely manner of their right to request an expedited transfer, and challenges 

to the implementation of the policy. Documentation should be included as an 

appendix. 

MILSPERSMAN 1300-1200 (Safety and Expedited Transfers) provides Navy’s 

guidance regarding expedited transfer requests for Service member victims who file 

Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault. Service member victims who file a Restricted 

Report are informed that the option is not available unless the report is converted to 

Unrestricted Report. Victims are informed of the option to request an expedited 

transfer during initial contact with the SARC, DRC, VLC, SAPR VA, or UVA, as a part 

of safety planning with the victim. Sailors who make an Unrestricted Report of sexual 

assault have the option to request a temporary or permanent reassignment within or 

away from the assigned duty station. Selected Reservists (SELRES) who are victims 

of sexual assault may request expedited transfers, reassignment to a different unit, or a 

different schedule than the alleged offender. SARCs are required to document this 

discussion and related expedited transfer data into DSAID.

Within 72 hours of receiving a request for an expedited transfer, the Commander must 

decide to whether to approve or refer to higher authority. If the Commander approves 

the transfer, he or she forwards the request and recommendation to Navy Personnel 

Command for processing (as applicable) and three-year documentation retention. In 

the case of a recommended denial of the expedited transfer, the Commander must 

immediately forward the reason in writing to the first Flag Officer, or Senior Executive 

Service (SES) equivalent in the requesting Service member’s chain of command. The 

Flag Officer or SES must decide to approve or disapprove the request within 72 hours 

of receiving the command-level recommendation and then forward to Navy Personnel 

Command to process and file.

Challenges with expedited transfers include the following items:

• Victims do not want the gaining command to know of the sexual assault because it 

could negatively impact the victim’s attempt to have a fresh start at the new 

command.

• Limitations of confidentiality exist when there is an ongoing investigation that may 

require the victim to return to the previous command or participate in judicial or 

administrative proceedings. Additionally, providing victims time to meet with 

counselors or other professionals providing victim care often require supervisors in 

the chain of command being aware of the general nature of appointments during 

normal working hours. SARCs discuss with the victims the possibilities of the new 

commander becoming aware of their case, especially if the investigation is still 

ongoing.

• Victims sometimes withdraw from the investigative and prosecutorial processes 

upon transfer.

4.14.1 Pertaining to temporary and/or permanent unit/duty expedited transfers 

(does NOT involve a Permanent Change of Station (PCS)), provide:

• The number requested

• The number approved as the victim requested

• The number approved different than the victim requested

• The number denied and a summary of why

• The number moved within 30 days of approval

• The number moved after 30 days of approval

Temporary and/or permanent unit/duty expedited transfers (does NOT involve a 

PCS) within Navy for FY14 are as follows: 

• The number requested – 13

• The number approved as the victim requested – 13

• The number approved different than the victim requested – N/A

• The number denied and a summary of why – 0

• The number moved within 30 days of approval – 13

• The number moved after 30 days of approval – 0

4.14.2 Pertaining to permanent requested installation expedited transfers (does 

involve a PCS move), provide:

• The number requested

• The number approved as the victim requested

• The number approved different than the victim requested

• The number denied and a summary of why

• The number moved within 30 days of approval

• The number moved after 30 days of approval

Permanent requested installation expedited transfers (does involve a PCS move) 

within Navy for FY14 are as follows:

• The number requested – 151

• The number approved as the victim requested – 150

• The number approved different than the victim requested – N/A

• The number denied and a summary of why – 1, not a credible report of sexual 

assault

• The number moved within 30 days of approval – 150

• The number moved after 30 days of approval – 0

4.15 Describe your efforts to implement and enhance first responder training 

(e.g. sexual assault health care providers).
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

56

CNIC HQ SAPR developed standardized first responder training for SARCs. The 

training familiarizes first responders with the foundation of the SAPR program and can 

be tailored to meet the needs of the specific group being trained. Topics include the 

roles and responsibilities of the SARCs and SAPR VAs, SAPR policy, impact on 

mission readiness, prevention, bystander intervention strategies, and key SAPR 

resources. The training ensures standardized training throughout the enterprise and 

includes law enforcement, fire, and healthcare personnel. All Regions report facilitating 

first responder training in their area. In the field, there were many examples of 

promising practices, including:

• In the Europe/Southwest Africa/Asia region, first responder training was 

conducted in coordination with NCIS to ensure their protocols incorporate 

immediate notification of a SAPR VA or SARC for all sexual assault reports.

• In the Southwest region, SAPR training, specifically the roles of the SARC and 

SAPR VA, was integrated into the SAFE Examiner course. 

• Northwest Region created a First Responder SAPR Medical Drill to train medical 

personnel on response policies, reporting options, available advocacy services, 

and patient referrals to SAPR personnel.

• All healthcare providers at the Brigade Medical Unit at USNA are trained using 

the DON approved Dartmouth Medical School interactive virtual practicum DVD 

as well as a supplemental Navy specific training on instruction and procedure. 

There are monthly drills performed to maintain proficiency of the process. There 

is annual training promulgated by BUMED for all SAFE providers.

• In Hawaii, civilian victim advocates conduct first responder training including

active duty MAs and civilian security forces which guard the base.

Through the BUMED office of the Sexual Assault Medical Program Manager, SAFE 

providers and other SAPR stakeholders receive published SAFE program updates with 

topics germane to the performance of SAFEs. Moreover, Navy Medicine Professional 

Development Center hosts a bi-monthly SAFE Webinar online training series which 

also can be claimed for continuing education credits. Topics covered for FY14 include 

forensic toxicology provided by the Armed Forces Medical Examiner Office; Tips for 

Testifying provided by OJAG; and Forensic Science Issues provided by USACIL.

In FY14, TCAP partnered with the Navy Chaplain’s Corps to provide world-wide, onsite training to chaplains on related legal issues including privileges and trauma 

informed support of victims and alleged perpetrators. 

4.16 List the number of victims, if any, whose care was hindered due to lack of 

Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) kits or timely access to appropriate 

laboratory testing resources and describe the measure you took to remedy the 

situation. 

Navy Region Hawaii/Joint Base Pearl Harbor Honolulu completely relies on Tripler 

Army Medical Center (TAMC) for after-hours and weekend care of emergency room 

and SAFEs. TAMC’s policy is to refer patients to off-base clinic if a Sexual Assault 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

57

Nurse Examiner (SANE) is not available. Having only one SANE assigned to TAMC is 

problematic. Three sexual assault victims were not able to have SAFEs completed at 

TAMC in July 2014 while the sole SANE for that MTF was on vacation. Two of the 

victims agreed to have SAFEs conducted at a local civilian medical facility, but one 

declined. Of the two who were seen at the civilian medical facility, only one received a 

SAFE. The other victim did not have a SAFE since the incident did not involve 

penetration. Since then, TAMC has two additional certified SANEs assigned. 

4.17 Provide the following information about coverage for Sexual Assault 

Forensic Examinations for all Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs):

• A list of MTFs with the number and hours of emergency room coverage

• The number of full-time Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) 

assigned at each MTF under your respective jurisdiction that operates an 

emergency room 24 hours per day

• A list of the number of qualified SAFE examiners by MTF, listed separately 

by employees and contractors, if any

• The number and types of providers (i.e. registered nurse, advanced 

practice registered nurse, medical doctor, physician assistant, 

independent duty corpsman)

• The dates of Service-certification to perform these exams (and/or national 

certification date) by provider

• The number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) assigned for sexual assault 

examiner response per facility and the types of providers assigned to 

those FTEs

• A listing of all MOU/MOA to provide SAFE services, with the location, 

distance from the facility, and execution and termination dates for each 

agreement 

• How many SAFE kits were processed and results used to inform 

command action

Complete 4.17 answers are provided in the following attachments:

• Appendix A: MTFs 24 Hours

• Appendix B: Occupancy Hours

• Appendix C: BUMED MOUs

• For the list of MTFs with the number and hours of emergency room coverage, 

see Appendix A.

• There are 14 FTE SANEs assigned at each MTF that operate an emergency 

room 24 hours per day.

• For the list of the number of qualified SAFE examiners by MTF, listed 

separately by employees and contractors, see Appendix A.

• For the number and types of medical providers see Appendices A and B.

• For the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) assigned for sexual assault 

examiner response per facility and the types of providers assigned to those 

FTEs, see Appendices A and B.

• For a listing of all MOU/MOA to provide SAFE services, with the location, 

distance from the facility, and execution and termination dates for each 

agreement, see Appendix C.

• In FY14 there were 195 SAFE kits processed, including active duty military, 

civilian, Unrestricted and Restricted Reports. 

4.18 Provide information about any problems or challenges that have been 

encountered with MTFs during the previous year and the actions taken to 

improve the program or services. 

Despite efforts to maintain Restricted Reports at MTFs, there are instances where DoD 

Law Enforcement is contacted, resulting in a report to local law enforcement as 

required by law. For example, the state of California mandates reporting. These 

actions result in victims’ inability to maintain Restricted Reports. 

The FY14 NDAA requirement to place a full-time SANE at all 24/7 emergency room 

capable facilities did not take into consideration the available credentialed, qualified,

diverse sexual assault forensic examiners to include doctors, physician assistants, 

advanced nurse practitioners, and independent duty corpsmen. Navy Medicine met 

the requirement of the law utilizing existing resources (uniformed and civilian nurses) to 

support this requirement.

4.19 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective victim 

support, response, and reporting options.

Navy will continue to adhere to and execute SAPR Program policy and guidance to 

ensure SARCs and SAPR VAs are delivering consistent and effective victim support 

and response. Additionally, CNIC will continue standardization efforts by reviewing 

training content and approving SAPR refresher training provided by SARCs to SAPR 

VAs. Navy will continue to evaluate staffing ratios across the enterprise to ensure 

adequate allocation of SARCs and professional SAPR VAs. CNIC will work with 

Regional SARCs (RSARCs) to ensure SARCs and SAPR VAs are completing the 

required training and credentialing requirements to ensure continuity of services and a 

superior level of excellence. 

Moving into FY15, Navy will continue to develop, maintain, and further strengthen 

relationships and partnerships with key stakeholders in both the military and civilian 

jurisdictions. In order to assess the efficacy of SAPR response, regional SAPR 

Programs will work with Command Leadership to implement installation requirements 

under the CNIC SAPR Installation Drill Procedures, CNICINST1752.3, to enhance the 

installation response capability and ensure victims have access to SAPR services.

All Navy VLC billets are currently funded through the Future Years Defense Program 

(FYDP). A pending civilian billet to assume Deputy Chief of Staff duties for the Navy 

VLC Program will be funded beginning FY16 through the FYDP. The JAG Corps will 

continually assess demand for VLC services to ensure the Navy has the appropriate 

number of VLC in the right locations to be responsive to victims’ needs. Additionally, 

Program Objectives Memorandum (POM)-16 has provided Naval Legal Service 

Command (NLSC) with $300,000 each year through the FYDP supporting VLC travel, 

training, and supplies, in addition to the referenced civilian billet (and associated labor 

funds). Commander, NLSC will request additional personnel and funding through the 

POM process as necessary to meet changes or increase in mission demand. 

The Chaplain Corps, in collaboration with DON SAPRO, is moving forward to provide 

“Survivors of Sexual Violence Resiliency Retreats” through Chaplain Religious 

Enrichment Development Operation programs. These retreats will allow victims to 

reestablish their personal confidence and restore relationships. Additionally, they will 

assist victims to reduce the chances of being re-victimized by sexual predators. 

BUMEDINST 6310.11 outlines standardized process for training and recertifying sexual 

assault forensic examiners who meet the Department of Justice protocol, thereby 

ensuring a basic level of competency available at all SAFE capable facilities. Through 

coordination with OPNAV and other Echelon II commands, Navy Medicine continues to 

explore ways on improving Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA)

compliance, privacy in reporting, and the requirements of reporting medical outcomes. 

Navy recognizes the damage and challenges of retaliation experienced by victims of 

sexual assault who come forward. Through training and awareness, command-level 

engagement, analysis of survey data, and ensuring appropriate disciplinary action for 

those who commit retaliation, Navy will continue efforts to better understand the 

problem of retaliation and support the victims who experience it. 

4.20 Compliance with DoD Victim/Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) 

reporting requirements to ensure victims are consulted with and regularly 

updated by SVIP legal personnel 

RLSOs maintained 100% compliance with the DoD VWAP. VWAP compliance 

tracking was accomplished through the Navy-Marine Corps centralized Case 

Management System and is included as an assessment item on the bi-annual Article 6, 

UCMJ, Inspection plan.

4.21 Percentage of specially trained prosecutors and other legal support 

personnel having received additional and advanced training in SVIP topical 

areas

The Navy’s nine STC supervise all Navy prosecutions, across the Navy Regions. In 

FY14, 100% of the STC possessed the following credentials: 

• O-4 or above (STC RLSO Midwest is O-4 select);
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

60

• Military Justice Litigation Career Track (MJLCT) Experts or Specialists;

• Completed the U.S. Army SVUIC and/or NCIS AASAITP;

• Completed NJS Prosecuting Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Assault course; and

• Completed the 12-hour, on-site TCAP Targeted Mobile Training Team

curriculum on adult sexual assault and special victims crime issues.

The STC supervise core trial counsel, first tour judge advocates, and paralegals, which 

are permanently assigned among the nine RLSO according to office caseloads. In 

FY14, of the 36 core trial counsel:

• 16% (6) were O-4 or above;

• 16% (6) were MJLCT Specialists;

• 66% (24) completed either SVUIC or AASAITP;

• 41% (15) completed NJS Prosecuting Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Assault course;

and

• 83% (30) completed the TCAP Targeted Mobile Training Team.

All nine offices participated in 10 monthly webinars focusing on SVC/SVIP topics. 

Based upon the above information, all offices were certified SVC/SVIP capable by 

Director, TCAP, after an annual site-visit and inspection.

4.22 Provide status of developing and implementation of regulation that 

prohibits retaliation against a victim or other member of the Armed Forces who 

reports a criminal offense in accordance with Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense 

Authorization Act. Include measures to ensure Service members receive 

education and training pertaining to reprisal prevention and detections; policies 

and procedures for filing a complaint of retaliation.

SECNAVINST 5370.7D, Military Whistleblower Protection of 4 December 2014,

prohibits retaliation against any person who reports a criminal offense, brings forward a 

complaint, or cooperates in the investigation process. Retaliation also includes 

ostracism and such acts of maltreatment committed by peers of a member of the 

Armed Forces or by other persons because the member reported a criminal offense. 

This policy is being widely publicized and discussed with leadership, especially by 

SARCs, to ensure an understanding that action will be taken on these types of 

offenses to protect victims and their rights to report. The instruction is punitive, so any 

acts of retaliation, ostracism or maltreatment may be punished as a violation of Article 

92, UCMJ.

If the alleged offender is the victim’s commander or otherwise in the victim’s chain of 

command, sexual assault victims have the opportunity to go outside the chain of 

command to report the offense to NCIS, other commanders, the DoD Safe Helpline, or 

an Inspector General. If a Service member experiences any retaliatory action for 

making a report of sexual assault, he or she has a number of options to report the 

retaliation for investigation and appropriate action. To specifically ensure there are no 

retaliatory separations from the Navy, a Flag Officer reviews the records of any victim

61

who is being considered for involuntary separation within one year of a final 

adjudication of an Unrestricted Report, in accordance with SECNAVINST 1752.4B.

A victim who believes he or she is being retaliated against will be advised of services 

available via his or her VLC at the earliest stages of their professional relationship. 

Complaints of Wrong (Navy Regulations Article 1150/ or UCMJ Article 138) are 

specifically addressed in the Scope of Representation Letter signed by both the VLC 

and the client under the section dealing with Scope of Legal Services provided. 

Additionally, victims may call an IG hotline or seek the assistance of defense counsel in 

order to determine their options or pursue a complaint.

Service members who experience any retaliatory personnel action for making a report 

of sexual assault may also submit an application for correction of military records in 

accordance with SECNAVINST 5420.193, NAVPERSCOMINST 5420.1, and 

MILPERSMAN Article 1000-150.

DoD collects data on victim retaliation using three sources: DEOCS, WGRS, and the 

Survivor Experience Survey (SES). Combining these three data sources provides a 

more robust understanding of Sailor perception and personal experiences. Navy will 

continue to use the three data sources to assess policies and initiatives regarding 

retaliation.

LOE 5 – Assessment—The objective of assessment is to “effectively 

standardize, measure, analyze, assess, and report program progress.”

5.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Assessment Endstate: “responsive, 

meaningful, and accurate systems of measurement and evaluation into every 

aspect of the SAPR program.”

In developing responsive, meaningful, and accurate systems of measurement and 

evaluation, Navy draws on data from sexual assault reports, survey instruments, focus 

group discussions, and other measures to evaluate the SAPR program and inform 

strategy and policies. 

DSAID, the centralized data source, is utilized to assess progress, conduct trend 

analysis, and tailor effective initiatives. Collaboration with DoD SAPRO, DON SAPRO, 

and the other Services provides alignment and standardization on multiple DoD-wide 

survey efforts. Navy also executes surveys and polls, providing valuable feedback for 

efforts to eliminate sexual assault.

During FY14, Navy regions engaged in their own proactive methods to fulfill DoD’s 

endstate to assess the SAPR program. Monthly SACMGs are used as a means of 

evaluating the SAPR program, assessing the quality of care and support provided to 

sexual assault victims and the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of various resources 

utilized within each case. FFSCs receive valuable feedback on SAPR services from 

quarterly and annual anonymous surveys to FFSC clients. 

SAPR Focus Groups were conducted at installations in fleet concentration areas in an 

effort to explore the effective delivery of SAPR services and identify possible barriers to 

junior Sailors reporting a sexual assault. Feedback was consolidated and provided to 

the regions in order to eliminate barriers and improve SAPR services.

Regional practices also include the following:

• Commander, Navy Region Southeast implemented an installation scorecard to 

assess training, SARC/SAPR VA accessibility, monthly required SACMG 

meetings, and incident tracking data.

• Navy Region Mid-Atlantic conducted 16 focus groups with junior Sailors, 

instituted a victim co-advocacy program, and developed new training on maleon-male sexual assault as a result of participant feedback.

USNA formed a SAPR Advisory Panel to provide an ongoing end-to-end review of the

Academy’s SAPR efforts. Feedback from Brigade focus groups provides a pulse 

check on current attitudes regarding SAPR efforts, command climate, training, and 

impressions of sexual assault issues, as well as in shaping Midshipmen and staff 

training and engagement. Additional efforts employed to measure, evaluate, and 

improve the SAPR program include:

• Midshipmen evaluating effectiveness of the Sexual Harassment and Assault 

Prevention Education Program. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

63

• Fleet Mentor Feedback providing informal feedback on the effectiveness of each 

SAPR session via a one-page critique from each Fleet Mentor.

• USNA SARCs/VAs encouraging personnel receiving SAPR services to 

participate in an anonymous survey from CNIC. Survey feedback allows for 

performance assessment and generates specific ideas for improvement.

• The Class of 2018 participating in an anonymous Plebe Summer Survey 

measuring incoming Midshipman opinions pertaining to rape myths, bystander 

intervention, and other concepts relating to sexual harassment and sexual 

assault. The results were compiled and evaluated to ensure Plebe sexual 

assault training will effectively meet the unique needs of the class.

To assess various aspects of the SAPR program, USFF:

• Developed standardized data and automated reports. Within the sexual assault 

tracking spreadsheet, USFF defined and standardized field entries, allowing 

analysis of cumulative data. A dashboard was developed and other recurring 

reports were automated to improve accuracy and display timeliness with trends 

and better target prevention efforts.

• Implemented the Commander Readiness Assessment Visit, a graded event 

used by the ISIC to assess ships’ personnel readiness programs and provide 

assistance and training to those focus areas that require additional attention. 

With regard to SAPR, an assessment occurred, at a minimum, once every 27 

months and assessed/validated the command’s SAPR Program.

PACFLT Echelon III commands reported significant progress towards measuring and 

evaluating numerous aspects of the SAPR program. The PACFLT SAPRO maintained 

databases of sexual assault SITREPs, first Flag Officer Reports, and adjudication 

results and analyzed the combined data on a monthly and quarterly basis to determine 

trends and adherence to DoD, DON, and OPNAV SAPR guidelines/policies. 

• USS George Washington - The command religious ministries program led an 

initiative to track various “human performance” metrics, including counseling, 

NJP, and other measures of crew stress or crisis. 

• Fleet Readiness Center Southwest - The SAPR team conducts monthly 

meetings to discuss new initiatives and potential areas of improvement. The 

Commander and Command SEL attend monthly round table meetings with the 

Base Commander, local medical, and NCIS discussing all open cases.

• Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Pacific - Echelon IV commands conduct 

monthly commander-level meetings to discuss initiatives with the Installation 

Commander, Installation SARC, and all applicable SAPR liaisons.

• Commander Naval Surface Forces Pacific - Upon completion/resolution of each 

case, the process is reviewed, and lessons learned are discussed with all key 

stakeholders.

Navy continues to assess the effectiveness of prevention and response methodologies 

through collected data, metrics analysis, surveys, focus groups, and other feedback 

mechanisms. As Navy knowledge increases of circumstances surrounding these 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

64

incidents, the ability to target prevention efforts and respond properly improves. 

5.2 Describe your oversight activities that assess the SAPR program 

effectiveness. Include frequency, methods used, findings and recommendations, 

corrective action taken (e.g., program management review and Inspector General 

inspections), and other activities. 

Senior Navy leadership plays a critical role by providing oversight, guidance, and 

review of SAPR programs. The SAPR Director regularly meets one-on-one with the 

CNO to discuss program updates and initiatives. The Director also provides a regular

update to a panel of three-star admirals. All Navy four-star admirals, led by the CNO, 

meet quarterly via video teleconference to discuss SAPR issues and program updates. 

The Navy SAPR cross-functional team meets monthly with stakeholders to discuss 

progress and share best practices. SAPR is an ongoing agenda item at the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff and Service Operations Deputies Tank briefings as well as the USFF

Task Force and PACFLT Executive Steering Committee meetings. Navy senior 

leadership have regular, face-to-face engagements with the fleet during on-site visits 

where senior leaders hear directly from Sailors and share information about Navy 

SAPR initiatives. Regional SAPR Officers provide a means to disseminate information 

and best practices to the regional and local levels. 

Direction from the Secretary of the Navy requires the Naval Inspector General to 

inspect, investigate, assess, or inquire into important matters, including SAPR-related 

programs on all command inspections and area visits. These inspections offer 

additional oversight to assess compliance and quality of programs, and ensure the 

quality of SAPR efforts executed across the fleet. Navy SAPRO provides on-site 

support for command inspections, area visits, and special inquiries as requested.

The Naval Inspector General is also available on an as-needed basis should concerns 

or complaints arise related to SAPR. 

Navy assesses the success of its SAPR program through periodic surveys of Sailors. 

Survey results are compared to actual Restricted and Unrestricted Reports of sexual 

assault to assess Service member confidence in the system and willingness to report. 

The following surveys were used in 2014:

• RAND Military Workplace Study (RMWS) – Utilizing newly designed 

assessment criteria and methods, the RMWS assigned a version of the prior 

2012 WGRA questionnaire to a small number of service members, and 

analyzed the comparable results to provide historical trends. The FY14 

prevalence estimates were calculated using the 2012 WGRA data. Estimates of 

sexual assault prevalence in the Navy are based on the percentage of surveyed 

Sailors who had at least one experience of unwanted sexual contact (which

includes contact, attempted penetration, and penetration offenses) in the 

previous 12 months, and represent both male and female victims of various 

offense types. The results show a decrease in prevalence for both male and 

female victims and indicate Navy’s efforts are working.

• Survivor Experience Survey (SES) – Launched in June 2014, the SES is 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

65

administered specifically to military sexual assault victims who filed either a 

Restricted or Unrestricted Report. Initial results from the survey are based on 

the 22 Navy responses received to date. As survivor survey responses are 

collected, they will provide feedback on processes from the victim’s perspective 

in areas such as support services, command actions, and peer responses. This 

information will play a vital role in assessing Navy’s progress, and help shape 

future policies and programs. 

• “A” School Exit Surveys – Over 1,800 women and 5,600 men completed the 

voluntary anonymous surveys since initial fielding in August 2013. Indications 

continue to suggest that Sailors in “A” School training environments have a low 

incidence rate of sexual assault compared to other Navy environments. Results 

directly reflect the efforts made in training environments and the engagement of 

local commanders. This survey underscores Navy’s commitment to seeking 

insights and assessing progress in combatting sexual assault. NETC and DON 

SAPRO continue to develop and expand their collaborative efforts to conduct 

sexual assault surveys of all Navy “A” School graduates at Navy’s five largest 

“A” School concentration sites: 

o Great Lakes, Illinois;

o Pensacola, Florida;

o Meridian, Mississippi;

o Groton, Connecticut; and

o San Antonio, Texas. 

• DEOCS – Since January 2014, Navy DEOCS 4.0, which includes new and 

revised SAPR climate questions containing seven measures: (1) perceptions of 

safety, (2) chain of command support, (3) publicity of SAPR information, (4) unit 

reporting climate, (5) perceived barriers to reporting sexual assault, (6) unit 

prevention climate with bystander intervention, and (7) restricted reporting 

knowledge.

These surveys provide leadership with direct feedback from deckplate Sailors. Local 

commanders can assess their command climate in comparison with Navy and DoD 

averages, and take appropriate action as necessary to address specific areas of 

concern. Examples include local training on proper reporting channels, intolerance of 

retaliation, and effective bystander intervention methods. Navy uses this information 

continuously to assess the effectiveness of policy and training initiatives and then 

refine activities or training. Examples of action taken as a result of DEOCS feedback 

include revision to the sexual assault training module at Command Leadership School

(now NLEC), creation of Navy-wide bystander intervention skills training, and additional 

training and processes to address perceived barriers to reporting.

Additional Assessment Methods:

• In addition to surveys, Navy conducts data calls, routine inspections, and 

periodic self-assessments and participates in ongoing Executive Steering 

Committees and meetings to assess SAPR program effectiveness. SITREPs 

and OPREPs are monitored for additional data and trends. 

• Focus Groups – The Defense Manpower Data Center conducted focus groups 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

66

with each of the Services in 2014. One training site (Pensacola, Florida) and 

one operational site (Norfolk, Virginia) were chosen to host the event. Focus 

group leaders divided groups by gender and rank to facilitate an honest and 

open discourse on Sailors’ perceptions of SAPR initiatives in a non-attribution 

environment. Direct engagements like the focus groups influence decisions to 

modify delivery of training. Changes such as the desire for more peer-to-peer 

training have been made, as captured in the new Bystander Intervention to the 

Fleet training. 

• OJAG – The NLSC Inspector General includes SAPR in biennial selfassessments and on-site inspections. The inspection program relies on 

performance metrics obtained through existing case management systems, 

surveys, and qualitative assessments from OJAG, NLSC leadership, subject 

matter experts, client commands, military judges, and command members.

• CNIC – CNIC HQ SAPR continuously reviews the SAPR Program through 

engagement with the RSARCs, to include monthly auditing of DSAID data entry, 

monthly monitoring of 24/7 on-call installation response, and regional monthly 

verification of 24/7 Navy SAPR response numbers for the Safe Helpline 

• BUMED – To support a more frequent review than the requisite tri-annual 

inspections, regional IG teams have been developed to conduct BUMED site 

visits evaluating weaknesses within the local programs including SAPR. 

SAPROs provide guidance to the local BUMED commanders on implementing 

process improvements and establishing standardized procedures. Navy 

Medicine also developed a sexual assault annual audit within the Manager 

Internal Control Program (MICP), which assesses Navy Medicine risk regarding,

personnel trained, screened, and appointed, HIPAA requirements, case 

confidentiality, adequate victim support resources, collateral misconduct, sexual 

assault knowledge, and review of local guidance.

Continued Region participation in an Executive Steering Committee provides an 

opportunity to provide information on the number of Restricted/Unrestricted Reports, 

basic incident demographics, and installation SAPR initiatives. Regions also report 

continuing efforts to monitor 24/7 on-call response rates, timely and accurate DSAID 

entry, and monitoring of all sexual assaults at installations in an effort to develop 

trends. 

5.3 Describe your efforts to ensure integrity of data collected in the Defense 

Sexual Assault Incident Database.

To ensure data integrity, metrics and details pertaining to reported sexual assaults (i.e., 

demographics, type of incident, case specifics) are continually collected, tracked and 

analyzed across the fleet. The 21st Century Sailor Office conducts quarterly DSAID 

audits for consistency and completeness of Navy-wide data.

CNIC HQ SAPR continues work with RSARCs as well as installation SARCs to ensure 

100% of sexual assault reports are recorded in DSAID and works to assist regions in 

achieving a 0% error rate with their cases. RSARCs receive monthly DSAID Quality 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

67

Assurance reports from CNIC HQ, and ensure gaps and inconsistencies within DSAID 

are corrected by SARCs. CNIC HQ continuously provides updated policy and 

guidance from DoD to the Regions throughout the year.

Judge advocates are responsible for data input in the DSAID legal officer module 

related to dispositions, and also synchronize with NCIS and CNIC for year-end data 

analysis. 

Regions perform monthly audits to ensure all open unrestricted cases are being 

reviewed at SACMG and cases are promptly closed in DSAID. SARCs work 

collaboratively with NCIS, command legal, and other SACMG members to obtain case 

numbers, initial dispositions, and other critical data for DSAID entry. The impact of this 

collaborative effort is accurate data. 

Navy Medicine reviews submitted data and ensures alignment with DSAID data. Navy 

Medicine works closely with other Echelon II commands with the DON to ensure each 

sexual assault is tracked through closure. 

5.4 Provide a summary of your research and data collection activities conducted 

in FY14. Include documentation in the appendix. 

Navy performs a number of activities for data collection and research. As mentioned 

earlier, DEOCS and A School Exit Surveys are major assessment tools. Additional 

data collection efforts include the following:

• RAND Military Workplace Study – Confidential surveys are currently the best 

tool available to estimate the number of sexual assault incidents in the Navy.

The RMWS was conducted from August through September 2014, as explained 

previously in Section 5.2.

• DSAID Data – CNIC HQ SAPR collects and analyzes DSAID case data on a 

monthly basis. CNIC HQ ensures that all cases have been accounted for within 

DSAID, appropriate fields have been populated, and any discrepancies with 

NCIS are remedied. CNIC HQ also utilizes a SADR tracker to monitor all 

unrestricted cases, and ensure that the appropriate steps in the investigation are 

reflected within DSAID.

• Regions use the data to create quad charts and other tables and graphs in order 

to analyze pertinent components of sexual assault including: assault location, 

gender, age, time of day/year and rank. Data is analyzed to extrapolate trends 

and share with commands during Executive Steering Committees, and with 

CNIC HQ.

• The Chaplain Corps conducted a data call requesting the total number of sexual 

assault victims (without personally identifiable information) seen by chaplains for 

confidential care who did not make either a restricted or unrestricted report. 

• BUMED developed the MICP as an audit for medicine commands to assess risk 

associated with the program and report out to the commander and the ISIC. 

The assessment tool was developed in alignment with SECNAV-M-5200.35, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

68

DoD 6495.02, and the 5 DoD SAPR Lines of Effort for Navy medicine 

commands to conduct a risk assessment associated with both the SAFE and 

SAPR program. Questions were developed to:

o Ensure that personnel are adequately trained, certified, and understand 

the different types of sexual assault reporting;

o Ensure the delivery of gender-specific protocols, privacy, and HIPAA 

policies are regulated;

o Maintain accurate staffing;

o Track and trend data; and 

o Use data for the development of prevention strategies. 

• See BUMED’s MICP risk assessment, attached in Appendix D.

• USFF developed a risk assessment matrix to analyze risk for sexual assault 

based on deployment cycle. Deep analysis of the nature of sexual assault in the 

fleet revealed the types of assault vary based on the actual deployment cycle of 

deploying units. USS Mahan developed a risk matrix that helps commanders 

look forward at mission changes and how that manifests in risk for the different 

types of sexual assault. The matrix has been distributed through the Atlantic 

Fleet Surface Force.

5.5 Describe your efforts to explore the feasibility of a SARC Military 

Occupational Specialty (MOS) or restructuring of military table of organization; 

addition of skill identifiers. 

Nine of Navy’s 75 SARCs are currently active duty Navy officers or enlisted Sailors. 

Navy is assessing the value in providing a unique identifier for these personnel. Navy 

Medicine is also exploring the option to create an additional qualification designator for 

SAFE Providers. 

5.6 Describe your efforts to assess the feasibility of incorporating sexual assault 

prevention training in Family Readiness, Family Advocacy Program (FAP), and 

Substance Abuse programs to enhance FAP and SAPR collaboration and 

training. 

The 21st Century Sailor Office is responsible for Navy SAPR and FAP policy, ensuring 

collaboration and synchronization within each program. 

CNIC HQ continues to engage with the CNIC Counseling and Advocacy Program to 

collaborate on FAP and SAPR efforts, as well as encouraging collaborations within the 

regions. 

Regions report that at many installations activities and programs are run jointly; SAPR 

and FAP staffs regularly attend and contribute to activities, programs, and training 

sessions facilitated by the both offices. One example is the “Rock the Pier” talent show 

held by Navy Region Mid-Atlantic during Domestic Violence Awareness month in 

February. The event, which had command leadership involvement, helped 

disseminate the message that victims are supported throughout the process and that 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

69

reporting is safe for victims.

5.7 Describe your plans for FY15 that pertain to synchronizing and standardizing 

the SAPR program across the Joint Force (from Joint/Service basing to forward 

stationed and deployed units worldwide).

Joint bases coordinate SAPR efforts to include data sharing, joint training, and joint 

SACMG meetings. SARCs continue to work with all tenant commands, including 

deployable commands while in port, train SAPR team members, and give SAPR 

command training. Some regions have included initiatives within their FY15 FFSC

Business Plan to work with U.S. Marines, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Coast 

Guard to focus on fostering the relationships currently in place and to further create 

more specific policies to encourage cooperative relationships.

Navy Medicine is working with CNIC to identify all MOU’s throughout the Navy to 

support sexual assault victims. In addition, Navy Medicine is working with the other 

services to identify requirements and areas not covered by MOU’s. 

USFF and PACFLT will continue their current efforts to synchronize and standardize 

the SAPR program across the Joint Force through working relationships with Joint 

Commanders and cross-functional teams, with added improvements where possible. 

For example, in PACFLT the Naval Air Facility, Misawa and the U.S. Air Force Wing 

Commander are routing a change to the current SAPR MOU to better respond to 

issues affecting both the Navy and Air Force Communities.

5.8 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

As discussed in 1.12, 3.10, and 4.13, collaboration between military and civilian 

organizations is important to the successful implementation of the sexual assault 

prevention and response program. To this end, many of the installation SAPR 

Programs developed partnerships with local rape crisis centers, state coalitions, 

hospitals, police departments, legal aid organizations, and community mental health 

resources. These partnerships are solidified by collaborating on volunteer victim 

advocate training, establishing MOUs between hospitals and commands to ensure 

expedient care for sexual assault victims, and participating in local SARTs to be aware 

of trends and incidents of sexual assault in the local area. 

The USNA SAPR Office attends monthly meetings with the local SART which offers a 

multi-disciplinary approach to sexual assault prevention. Key stakeholders such as 

Anne Arundel Medical Center, YWCA of Annapolis, local Rape Crisis Center, and area 

SARCs from neighboring Navy installations all come together to review case studies, 

share best practices, and discuss trend analysis locally. USNA collaborates with 

Mercy Medical Center’s SANE, who periodically addresses the midshipmen regarding 

forensic evidence collection and the medical process. The USNA response team 

attends briefings and conferences offered by the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

70

Assault on relevant topics and invites staff to address the midshipmen periodically as 

well. USNA will also join with other universities in the “It’s On Us” White House 

campaign, as explained in section 5.9.

5.9 Describe your future plans for effectively standardizing, measuring, 

analyzing, assessing, and reporting program progress.

FY14 was the first year that DSAID was the main system in use, and it will continue to 

undergo revisions and updates to improve the methods used to capture and organize 

data. In future years, improvements to DSAID will allow for more standardized data 

input and analysis.

To obtain more timely prevalence data and trends, Navy explored incorporating a 

Prevalence Question into the DEOCS. The results of this question would not be 

provided to the unit, only aggregated and provided to the 21st Century Sailor Office. 

DEOMI is currently reviewing the proposed survey question. 

Other Navy stakeholders and Fleet entities report the following future SAPR plans:

• CNIC HQ SAPR will continue to work with regions to analyze data and programs 

in order to implement policies and procedures which promote a safe 

environment for all Sailors and an environment where reporting is protected and 

encouraged. CNIC will continue to perform monthly DSAID audits, 24/7 on-call 

audits, and site visits to ensure that Regions are adhering to policies and 

procedures. CNIC will also continue to monitor relevant trends in assaults 

across regions, share best practices, and devise applicable policies and 

procedures to combat sexual assault on military installations. 

• CNIC will continue to work with the regions on expanding installation evaluation 

methods including surveys, self-assessments, and/or quality assurance review. 

CNIC will work to standardize evaluation methods across regions and develop 

new methods for ensuring every Sailor receives the best support possible under 

the SAPR Program.

• Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) - CNRF SAPRO has partnered with 

the USFF SAPR team leadership to ensure unique Reserve issues are 

implemented in the forthcoming USFF Campaign Plan. CNRF will implement 

Bystander Intervention to the Fleet requirements across the Reserve Force in 

such a way that recognizes unique Selected Reserve challenges while 

preserving total Navy standardization. Measurement and analysis of the 

program will continue at the CNRF level.

• USFF - Fleet Forces is developing a SITREP data tool to automatically generate 

operational unit reports for all destructive behaviors. The data tool will 

streamline and simplify the reports, automatically standardizing reporting across 

Navy and collecting data for analysis. The tool was fielded October 2014 with 

Atlantic Fleet transition by April 2015. 

• PACFLT - Continues to analyze DEOMI Survey results to better understand 

current data across the region and focus program efforts to trending issues. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

71

PACFLT will incorporate unit level analysis into the assessments to determine if 

there are possibly any command-level factors that could lead to higher incidents 

of sexual assault.

• Commander, Submarine Forces PACFLT - Will increase frequency of assist 

visits in reviewing SAPR program effectiveness and oversight and D-SAACP 

compliance by providing squadron commanders periodic D-SAACP certification 

status for submarines and other operational units’ SAPR VAs. 

USNA has outlined several future SAPR initiatives. In January 2015, the Academy 

hosted the Dartmouth College Summit on Sexual Assault Working Groups. The 

purpose of the event is to continue collaboration and discussions among approximately 

60 personnel from colleges and universities around the country, providing a venue to 

share campaign best practices and brainstorm ways to work together. The second 

Military Service Academy SAPR Colloquium will be held in the spring 2015, with the 

campaign as one of its topics. 

USNA will also participate in the White House’s “It's On Us” campaign, directed at 

stopping sexual assault on college campuses. 

• Introduce the Campaign to the 4,500 Brigade of Midshipmen at a Brigade-wide 

meal.

• Integrate the Campaign into Midshipmen peer education sessions facilitated by 

Midshipmen to promote the campaign at the Company (approximately 150 

Midshipmen) level.

• Modify the website and use social media to promote the campaign to the 

Brigade of Midshipmen, faculty and staff.

• Create a Midshipmen-led video to promote the campaign as part of the ongoing 

video series in support of Sexual Assault prevention.

• Interaction by alumni and the surrounding community to promote the campaign 

on the stadium video board at upcoming home football games .

6. Overarching Tenet: Communication and Policy

6.1 Describe your efforts to post and widely disseminate sexual assault 

information (e.g., Safe Helpline, hotline phone numbers and internet websites) to 

Service members, eligible dependents, and civilian personnel of the DoD. 

As explained in detail in section 4.9, sexual assault information is disseminated to 

Service members, eligible dependents, and civilian personnel using a variety of media 

designed to reach the widest audience possible. In addition, the following measures 

add to Navy-wide communication and dissemination of SAPR information:

• SARCs educate organizations on the Safe Helpline and assist with obtaining 

promotional supplies (brochures, pamphlets, wallet-sized cards, posters, key 

chains, lanyards, newsletters, bulletin boards, command plans of the day/week, 

marquees, websites, etc.) to facilitate advertisement and access to this 

resource.

• Navy commands are required to have three local SAPR VAs' contact information 

(telephone, online, text) listed directly below the Safe Helpline logo on the 

command website. 

• The NavyLive blog, the official blog of the United States Navy, is a vehicle to 

communicate information, progress reports, and public service announcement

videos. The blog provides a search option to access specific subjects and links 

to 21st Century Sailor information. Senior leadership posts to the blog include 

VCNO posts addressing the RAND Military Workplace Study. 

• Director, 21st Century Sailor holds face-to-face engagements in fleet 

concentration areas worldwide, ashore and afloat. To ensure widest 

dissemination of information, the Director posts information and embedded 

video on SAPR and relevant 21st Century Sailor subjects on the NavyLive blog.

• U.S. Navy Twitter tweets, re-tweets, and modified-tweets information about 

SAPR or links to SAPR information.

• Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, recognized annually in April, 

provides an opportunity Navy-wide to partner with other Services and civilian 

communities to communicate awareness of sexual assault. 

• CNO directed Fleet Commanders to designate a Flag Officer, reporting directly 

to the Fleet Commander, as the SAPR program leader for each Navy 

installation/fleet concentration area and associated local commands. This 

designated Flag Officer established regular conversations with appropriate 

installation/local command representatives, local community, and civic leaders 

to review SAPR program efforts. Flag Officers regularly inform Fleet 

Commanders of prevention and response trends and opportunities for 

improvement within their area of responsibility. The Flag Officer also ensures 

that community outreach and engagement are part of each area’s prevention 

and response measures. Commanders and all Flag Officers work with 

stakeholders to discuss command climate and SAPR readiness issues.

• Fleet Commanders participate in quarterly SAPR-dedicated video 

teleconferences with the CNO to discuss trends and recommend future 

initiatives.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

73

• The Public Affairs Office strategic communication plan includes N17 Blogs, 

Navy news stories, and engagement with media in fleet concentration areas.

6.2 Provide updates on your development and implementation of specialized 

medical and mental health care policy for sexual assault victims. If applicable, 

provide a copy of your updated implementation plan in the appendix. 

In FY14, the CNIC HQ Counseling and Advocacy Program promulgated additional 

implementing guidance for all FFSC clinical counselors on the coordination and 

provision of counseling services for victims of trauma, including victims of sexual 

assault.

CNIC guidance directs that clients presenting to a FFSC for treatment of sexual assault 

or other trauma-related incidents receive a comprehensive assessment by a clinical 

counselor at the time of intake. Once the assessment has been completed and reveals 

the client has a diagnosable condition falling outside the scope of the FFSC, a referral 

will be provided to the MTF. No client will be referred to the MTF for treatment unless 

a thorough intake assessment has been completed and the assessment indicates a 

referral. 

FFSC clinical counselors provide treatment to victims of sexual assault, or other 

trauma-related incidents, when the intake assessment indicates their diagnosis is 

subclinical in nature and falls within the FFSC scope of practice. For example, a victim

disclosing sexual assault but not meeting the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis and who is

diagnosed with “Other Conditions that May be a Focus of Clinical Attention” may be 

treated at the FFSC. 

Recently promulgated guidance emphasized the requirement ensuring clients are 

assigned to one clinical counselor, providing clinical care and support throughout the 

life of a case. Counseling and Advocacy Program supervisors make every effort to 

ensure a client remains with the same counselor throughout the course of treatment. 

If a referral is made for treatment outside the FFSC, the clinical counselor is 

responsible for ensuring the referral process is conducted with a warm hand off, 

providing continuity of care and support to the client.

The DRC initiative was fully implemented in FY14 to enhance victim services and 

response. DRCs are attached to aircraft carriers and large deck amphibious ships. 

DRCs provide clinical, educational, and supportive services across a spectrum of care. 

BUMED released the following policy:

• BUMEDINST 6310.11A CH-1, SAPR Medical – Forensic Program, of 18 

September 2013, outlines the SAFE program ensuring comprehensive medical 

management for victims of sexual assault at MTFS and provides templates for 

MOUs/MOAs when needed. 

• BUMEDINST 6300.16A, Navy Abortion Policy, of 24 April 2014, outlines 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

74

guidance regarding abortions in Navy MTFs and the approval processes for the 

provision of abortion services when the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape 

or incest, and when the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were 

carried to term.

6.3 Describe your ongoing efforts to review, revise, update, and issue policy 

pertaining to:

• The record of dispositions of unrestricted reports.

• General education for correction of military records when victims 

experience retaliation.

FY14 NDAA mandated new requirements regarding the record of disposition of 

unrestricted reports. Navy policy on the record of disposition of Unrestricted Reports 

was promulgated via ALNAV 061/14, Implementation of the SADR. The SADR 

(NAVPERS 1752/1) is required upon final disposition of an Unrestricted Report of 

sexual assault within Navy. Final disposition is defined as action taken to resolve the 

reported incident, documenting the case outcome, and addressing the misconduct by 

the alleged offender/subject, as appropriate. Final dispositions may include military 

justice proceedings, NJP, administrative actions, and administrative separation actions. 

If multiple actions are taken, commands report the most serious action taken.

NAVADMIN 189/14 (Inclusion and Command Review of Information on Sex-Related 

Offenses in Personnel Service Records) promulgated policy to meet the FY14 NDAA

requirement for inclusion and command review of information on sex-related offenses 

in personnel service records. The policy was made to alert commanders of members 

in their commands who have received a court-martial conviction or NJP for these 

offenses to reduce the likelihood that repeat offenses will escape their notice. 

Upon conviction at court-martial or imposition of NJP for any sex-related offense or an 

attempt to commit any of these offenses, Commanders shall submit and file the Sex 

Offense Accountability Record (NAVPERS 1070/887) in a member’s official military 

personnel file, where it will remain for the duration of his or her career. Commanders 

are required to conduct a mandatory review of each Service member’s personnel 

record for notation of those sex-related offenses for all newly reporting personnel within 

30 days.

Navy policy for correction of military records when victims experience retaliation is 

covered in ALNAV 030/14 to all Navy personnel, prohibiting retaliation against 

members of the DON who report a criminal offense, including victims of sexual assault. 

In December 2014, the Secretary of the Navy signed out SECNAV Instruction 5370.7D, 

Military Whistleblower Protection. General information and the process for correction 

of military records due to retaliation, including retaliation for reporting a sexual assault,

are addressed in the instruction.

In addition to promulgating official policy to all Navy personnel via release of ALNAV 

030/14 and SECNAV Instruction 5370.7D, general education for correction of military 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

75

records when victims experience retaliation was accomplished using the following: 

• Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs released a story on the navy.mil website 

and posted information on the weekly wire (a weekly roll up of top Navy stories). 

A link was tweeted out to both.

• All Hands Magazine (hard copy and online) ran an article titled “Five Things to 

Know About Reprisals and Retaliation.” The article also provides resources for 

Sailors who wish to have their record corrected for action taken as a result of 

retaliation.

6.4 Describe your efforts to sustain policy for General or Flag officer review of 

and concurrence in adverse administrative actions and separation of victims 

making an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault in FY14. 

In accordance with MILPERSMAN 1910-704, Commander, Navy Personnel Command

(a Flag Officer) is the Separation Authority for involuntary separation of active duty 

members who are the alleged victims of a sexual assault. All administrative separation 

actions involving victims of sexual assault are reviewed by the Flag Officer to ensure 

victims receive full and fair consideration of their military Service and that such 

determinations are consistent and appropriate.

7.1 Enhancing Commander Accountability—Describe your progress in 

developing methods of assessing commander effectiveness in establishing 

command climates of dignity and respect. Include efforts made by your Service 

to incorporate SAPR prevention and victim care principles in their commands, 

and efforts made to hold them accountable. 

Navy’s sexual assault strategy focuses on setting the conditions and creating a culture 

in which sexual assault is not tolerated, ignored, or condoned. Setting the right 

command culture is critical to addressing and preventing all destructive behaviors. 

Cultural elements include the policies, command statements, actions, values, and 

personal comportment of the entire team. This strategy uses a multi-pronged 

approach that includes prevention at the institutional, command, and individual levels. 

Key prevention strategy components are leadership and Sailor engagement, 

stakeholder and community involvement, training and awareness, appropriate offender 

accountability, and continuous assessment. Accountability at all levels is vital to this 

approach.

Commanders’ fitness reports contain two performance traits that are specifically used 

to rate personal bearing and character, and the commanders’ performance in 

establishing a command climate of dignity and respect. A policy update on 28 August 

2013 codified that to achieve high marks in these categories. Commanders must 

demonstrate how they have cultivated or maintained command climates where 

improper discrimination of any kind, sexual harassment, sexual assault, hazing, and 

other inappropriate conduct is not tolerated; where all hands are treated with dignity 

and respect; and where professionalism is the norm. 

Within the continuum of harm framework, Navy seeks to prevent all degrees of harmful 

behavior. The overarching imperative at all levels of the chain of command is to 

establish organizational behavior expectations that are clearly communicated and 

consistently maintained. The performance, safety, and climate of a unit begin and end 

with the commander. Leaders drive the command climate and culture and ensure a 

safe and productive working environment. The actions and attitude of leaders set the 

example and define Navy’s organizational culture. Leaders set an expectation of 

dignity, mutual respect, and professionalism among shipmates. 

Based on analysis of sexual assault reports and cases, Navy understands many of the 

circumstances of sexual assault incidents. The commander is responsible to address

these factors by fostering an appropriate command climate of dignity and respect for 

everyone and ensuring safe workplaces and living areas. Overall, the commander is 

responsible for good order and discipline of the unit and the well-being of all Sailors. 

Because of the inherent responsibility of commanders, the screening processes to 

select them are rigorous. Commanders must meet strict professional and performance 

qualification standards as well. As described in the “Charge of Command” that all 

Navy officers sign in the presence of their reporting senior upon taking command, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

77

commanders are responsible and accountable for everything that happens in their 

commands. By virtue of experience, skill, and training, Navy commanders are the best 

assessors of their people and are the key to sustaining the readiness of their unit. 

Effective and permanent climate change in Navy must be implemented through 

commanders.

Within 30 days of assuming command, commanders and their leadership team will 

receive a Commanders’ Toolkit and a SAPR in-brief from their SARC that includes 

information regarding trends for the command or area of responsibility, local risk 

reduction strategies, Restricted Reporting confidentiality requirements, and the SAPR 

program requirements. The commander will also receive training from a judge 

advocate on MRE 514 privilege, SA-IDA, the SADR, and the Sex Offense 

Accountability Record. 

Commanders are responsible for establishing and maintaining an immediate, 

coordinated, and effective 24/7 sexual assault response capability ensuring timely 

access to appropriate victim services, including medical care, victim advocacy, VLC, 

counseling, criminal investigation of Unrestricted Reports, VWAP information, and 

chaplain support. 

Assessing Command Climate 

Navy mandates that commands conduct the DEOCS command climate survey within 

90 days of a change of command, and annually thereafter. The DEOCS asks Sailors 

to rate their perceptions of leadership support for SAPR. Sailor perceptions averaged 

between “agree” and “strongly agree” since this question was added to the DEOCS. 

After results of the DEOCS are provided to commanders, they are required to conduct 

a face-to-face debrief with the ISIC on the results of the survey and a plan of action to 

address any opportunities for improvement. Commanders are also required to brief 

their units on the survey results and resultant command actions. 

Sexual assault is an underreported crime. Increasing the number of sexual assault 

reports is an indicator of command climate improvement. When a Sailor trusts the 

command to respond appropriately, he or she is more likely to make a report. 

Therefore, Navy aims to increase confidence in the confidentiality and quality of 

program resources to help Sailors feel empowered to report. Further, Commanders 

must immediately refer all allegations of sexual assault to an MCIO as well as ensure 

allegations of retaliation or reprisal against victims or witnesses who report an offense 

are investigated.

Subsequent to a report of a sexual assault, victims who make an Unrestricted Report 

of sexual assault may request an expedited transfer to another command, duty station

or a different schedule than the alleged offender. Within 72 hours of receiving a 

request for an expedited transfer, the commander must decide to approve or refer to 

higher authority in the case of expedited transfer disapproval. If the expedited transfer 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

78

request is disapproved by the commander, the first Flag Officer, or SES equivalent, in 

the requesting Sailor’s chain of command must decide to approve or disapprove the 

request within 72 hours of receiving the command-level recommendation. 

Commanders are directed to provide a personal report to the first Flag Officer in the 

chain of command within 30 days of the initial notification of a report of sexual assault, 

as operational circumstances allow. This report includes review of the case 

circumstances, possible root causes and key enablers to sexual assault, command 

climate, and best practices. These reports also provide information about care and 

support provided to the victim, initiatives the command will take (or has taken) to 

prevent future occurrences, and the impact to the command’s ability to carry out its 

mission. 

Victim’s Commanders attend monthly SACMG meetings, chaired by the Installation CO 

or XO, to review individual Unrestricted Report cases, facilitate monthly victim updates, 

and direct system coordination, accountability, entry of disposition, and victim access 

to quality services. Within Navy, the ISIC or other appropriate representative attends 

during periods when the unit is underway or deployed. Otherwise, this is a nondelegable commander responsibility. Commanders are responsible for providing a 

monthly update on the status of the case to the victim within 72 hours of the SACMG.

The Naval Inspector General inspects, investigates, assesses, or makes inquiries into 

important matters, including SAPR-related programs. These inspections offer 

additional oversight to assess compliance and quality of programs, and ensure the 

quality of SAPR efforts executed across the fleet. Results of command inspections 

and area visits conducted in FY14 generally found that SAPR programs were wellmanaged and in compliance with program requirements. 

Sexual Assault – Initial Disposition Authority 

The responsibility, authority, and accountability Navy places in the commander 

requires that he or she is provided with the tools to maintain appropriate readiness and 

safety every day. Military justice is one of those tools. The fundamental structure of 

the military justice system and UCMJ, centered on the role of the commander as the 

convening authority and, supported by the staff judge advocate, is sound. Navy 

commanders are often required to make independent decisions far from shore, in 

uncertain or hazardous conditions. In this environment, it is essential that commanders 

be involved in each phase of the military justice process, from the report of an offense 

through adjudication under the UCMJ. In all cases prior to making initial dispositions, 

commanders are required to consult with and receive a recommendation from judge 

advocates. Removing prosecutorial discretion from those commanders – a move that 

is not empirically tied to an improvement in the military’s efforts to prevent or respond 

to sexual assault – would risk degrading the system’s ability to deploy. 

The Secretary of Defense imposed limitations on which military commanders may 

exercise disposition authority over sexual assault allegations. These limitations require
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

79

that all allegations of sexual assaults involving penetration be forwarded to a

commander in the grade of O-6 or higher who is authorized to convene special courtsmartial and who must consult with a judge advocate before deciding what action to 

take. FY14 NDAA further constrained military commanders’ pretrial discretion by 

providing that only general courts-martial have jurisdiction over charges alleging sexual 

assaults involving penetration or attempts to commit such assaults. Following written 

formal advice by a staff judge advocate under Article 34, UCMJ, any decision by a 

general court-martial convening authority not to refer charges of certain sex-related 

offenses to court-martial must be reviewed by a higher-level official including, in some 

circumstances, the Secretary of the Navy.

Flag Officer Engagement

Fleet Commanders designated a Flag Officer as SAPR program leaders for each Navy 

installation/fleet concentration area and associated local commands. These 

designated Flag Officers established regular conversations with appropriate 

installation/local command representatives, local community, and civic leaders to 

review SAPR program efforts. Flag Officers regularly inform Fleet Commanders of 

prevention and response trends and opportunities for improvement within their area of 

responsibility. The Flag Officers also ensure that community outreach and 

engagement are part of each area’s prevention and response measures. COs and all 

Flag Officers work with stakeholders to discuss command climate and SAPR readiness 

issues. 

Fleet Commanders participate in quarterly SAPR-dedicated video teleconferences with 

the CNO to discuss trends and recommend future initiatives. Several key initiatives 

were directed and fast-tracked as a result of the CNO SAPR meetings, including 

enhanced investigative capability using Navy uniformed investigators, bystander 

intervention skills training for all Sailors, and simplification of victim support duties 

within each unit.

A USFF Task Force combined leadership from Navy fleet and shore infrastructures to 

undertake initiatives across the five SAPR LOEs. This ensures synergy across Navy, 

shared knowledge, and coordination across the Navy for a comprehensive solution.

PACFLT regions host regular SAPR council meetings attended by all major Fleet and 

Force level Flag Officers in the PACFLT area of responsibility. These meetings assist 

in aligning program goals, sharing best practices, and identifying leading indicators that 

may require leadership awareness and action.

7.2 Ensuring Safety—Describe your efforts, policies, and/or programmatic 

changes undertaken to improve SAPR training for members of the military 

serving in recruiting organizations, Military Entrance Processing Stations, and 

the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Include measures taken by your Service to 

select, train, and oversee recruiters, disseminate SAPR program information to 

potential and actual recruits, and how your Service has incorporated SAPR 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

80

program information in ROTC environments and curricula. 

Navy has various accession points through which individuals join the Service as Sailors 

each year. Navy capitalizes on the opportunity to mentor new Sailors, instill Navy Core 

Values of honor, courage and commitment, and establish the level of expectation for 

command culture and climate. All accession points provide incoming Sailors initial 

sexual assault training. 

Recruiting 

Navy recruiters are carefully selected, trained, and overseen. The certification process 

involves a review of security clearance status to verify no documented adverse 

behavior, and reviews of electronic service records for pre-service offenses and 

offenses conducted while on active duty, including NJP, courts-martial convictions, and 

civilian convictions. Final certification or continuation on recruiting duty is the 

responsibility of the respective Recruiting District Commanding Officer. Recruiter 

credentialing and qualification review include screening of the following databases:

• Electronic Service Records (Enlisted) - Disqualifying misconduct;

• Official Military Personnel Files (Officers) - Disqualifying misconduct;

• Joint Personnel Adjudication System - Security Clearance Eligibility;

• Alcohol and Drug Management Tracking System Database - Alcohol Related 

Incidents; and

• Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website - Sex offender

registry.

Navy recruiters receive extensive SAPR training. Command indoctrination for all Navy 

recruiters includes training on recruiting standards of conduct, SAPR issues, 

fraternization and sexual harassment, and alcohol and drug abuse policies. 

Specifically, training for recruiters emphasizes Navy Core Values and the following 

points:

• Demand an environment free from sexual assault and will protect the dignity and 

respect of every Service member, applicant, and future Sailor.

• Align conduct with existing policies on alcohol deglamorization, fraternization, 

sexual harassment, and sexual assault.

• Understand the impact of sexual assault on command readiness, recruiting 

readiness, the Sailor, and family.

• Uphold and enforce the high standards of conduct expected between Recruiters 

and applicants/future sailors.

• Abide by the recruiter’s duty to prevent destructive behaviors and never ignore 

or condone destructive behaviors. 

The Navy Recruiting Orientation Unit (NORU), located aboard Naval Air Station 

Pensacola, Florida, has the primary mission of training prospective Navy recruiters in 

both recruiting techniques and the challenges of preparing applicants for success in 

recruit training and subsequent Navy service. The unit teaches six different courses, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

81

ranging from two to six weeks in duration. 

Both NORU staff and students attend a Professional Behavior Training course. During 

command check-in, NORU staff members receive separate training on standards of 

conduct with a special emphasis on SAPR concerns. For students, concepts of 

professional behavior and SAPR issues are additionally embedded into every course of 

instruction at NORU. Student training specifically includes 4.75 hours of Day-1 

instruction in three briefings on SAPR issues – a Command SAPR Brief, an 

“Expectations Brief,” and a “Follow-Up Expectations Brief.” On training Day-3, all 

students receive an additional hour of training on decision making and Navy Core 

Values as they relate to fraternization, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. An 

additional 5-13 hours of related training is threaded throughout the curricula. 

Every class receives a two-hour SAPR workshop with specific reinforcement through 

additional training and scenarios, along with a dedicated additional half-hour of ethics 

reinforcement prior to graduation. The Advanced Recruiter Course includes a 

specialized four-hour segment to deglamorize alcohol and drugs, fraternization, sexual

harassment, and sexual assault. This segment is expanded to eight hours in the 

Career Recruiter Force Academy Course. In addition, NORU ensures that all 

personnel have completed required Navy SAPR-Fleet or SAPR-Leadership training, 

and provides that training on-site as necessary. As an additional layer of oversight, 

NRC senior leadership, including the Commander, Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff, 

Force CMC, and National Chief Recruiter, visits every class and provides all students 

with Recruiter Integrity Reinforcement business cards. 

Recruiter oversight mechanisms are numerous. Navy uses formal, comprehensive 

screening programs for prospective recruiters. Recruiters regularly undergo scheduled 

and unscheduled inspections for procedural compliance and professionalism. 

Allegations of recruiter misconduct are promptly investigated and appropriately

addressed. 

At the headquarters level, the NRC actively utilizes a formal oversight framework that 

includes data collection, maintenance, reporting requirements, management goals, and

performance measures and milestones to evaluate their management of alleged sexual 

assault incidents and their efforts to prevent sexual assault in the recruiting 

environment. They maintain comprehensive and integrated assessments of 

successes, challenges, and lessons learned from their various efforts. Navy utilizes 

unannounced personal visits by Commanding Officers and others, including Flag 

Officers. Team-based inspection visits are also common. In addition, recruiters police 

themselves and report misbehavior of fellow recruiters. 

NRC continues leadership/supervisory oversight visits to verify recruiting personnel 

knowledge of standards of conduct, ensure professional command climate, and 

enhance future Sailors’ understanding of behavioral expectations. Recruiters can be 

found guilty of misconduct and subject to removal from recruiting duty and 

decertification based on numerous reasons, not necessarily related to sexual assault. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

82

Reasons include fraternization, alcohol-related offenses (i.e., DUI, domestic violence), 

drug use, and other misconduct.

Applicants in Navy’s Delayed Entry Program receive 72 total hours of indoctrination 

training that includes the following: training on recruiter and applicant responsibilities; 

printed training materials in the Delayed Entry Program “Tool Kit;” training on 

fraternization prohibitions and the responsibility to report violations by recruiting 

personnel; signing a formal “Page 13” to explicitly acknowledge fraternization 

prohibitions and responsibilities; standardized video training that is tailored to future 

Sailors and describes Navy policies on SAPR, sexual harassment, fraternization, and 

alcohol abuse; and discussion of avenues for sexual assault victims to seek help.

Recruits in training receive multiple sessions of formal SAPR training, starting on the 

bus ride from the airport to RTC. All recruits see a video of the commanding officer

articulating six “zero tolerance” policies: sexual harassment, sexual assault, racism, 

hazing, fraternization, substance abuse, and recruit-to-recruit contact. Recruits receive 

at least two hours of initial SAPR training within four days of their arrival. The same 

concepts are reinforced at numerous points in other presentations and training 

exercises, including presentations to all recruits by the commanding officer and CMC.

Within Navy, recruit applicants are regularly surveyed about their recruiter’s 

performance and behavior. In addition, all applicants are provided information on 

standards of recruiter conduct and mechanisms for reporting misconduct. Hotline 

telephone numbers are provided to applicants and their parents for reporting any 

suspected misconduct. Hotline notices are prominently posted and listed on provided 

wallet cards. In some places, wallet cards detail recruiter and applicant rights, along 

with prohibited recruiter behaviors, and list hotline numbers for the recruiting 

command’s IG office. Recruits in training also have numerous opportunities to disclose 

recruiter misconduct they have observed or experienced, and recruits are frequently 

asked specifically about these matters during training. 

Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS)

The U.S. Military Entrance Processing Command is the DoD entity that screens and 

processes applicants into each of the U.S. Armed Forces. It operates 65 MEPS 

located throughout the United States. The command functions as a joint service 

command under the direction of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military 

Personnel Policy, who in turn reports to the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel 

and Readiness. Collectively, MEPS process approximately 500,000 applicants for 

military service each year, putting them through a battery of tests and examinations to 

ensure that they meet standards required for military service. SAPR program 

information and awareness materials (touch cards, brochures, posters, etc.) are 

provided to the Military Entrance Processing Centers and Reception Battalions.

Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

83

NROTC instructors are screened for past issues and patterns of behavior and undergo 

a formalized dedicated screening process before being assigned. NROTC units work 

with the placement officer who screens proposed replacements for quality and 

forwards the nomination packages to the NROTC Unit XO who reviews them with the 

Unit commanding officer. Nominations that are acceptable to the unit are presented to 

the university for approval. 

NROTC Midshipmen receive formal SAPR training during various points in their 

NROTC course of instruction. All NROTC freshmen and Strategic Sealift Officer 

students receive the Navy’s SAPR-Fleet training module. Additionally, all NROTC 

seniors receive the Navy’s SAPR-Leadership training module.

All NROTC Unit staff and student personnel receive a “pre-summer” training brief prior 

to the end of an academic year before leaving school. This training includes 

discussions on many topics including safety, SAPR, and command expectations with 

regards to performance and behavior of all personnel during summer months. 

Annually in July, prospective commanding officers, prospective executive officers, and 

new Naval Science Instructors attend a week of training to prepare them for their roles 

and responsibilities as Professors of Naval Science, NROTC instructors, and assistant 

college professors. SAPR training is a focused area during this instruction and, in 

addition to the leadership aspect of sexual assault prevention and response, includes 

the importance of teaching new students about campus resources.

At the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, new NROTC and Strategic Sealift 

Officer Program students receive SAPR-F training as part of their Freshman 

Orientation program. New students who do not attend Freshman Orientation will 

receive SAPR-F training within 14 days of arrival. For sophomore and junior students, 

each NROTC Unit and Strategic Sealift Officer Department of Naval Science conducts 

SAPR-F training for Midshipmen, Seaman-to-Admiral Program students, and Marine 

Enlisted Commissioning Education Program students within the first 60 days of the 

academic year. For Senior Students and final year students in these two programs, 

SAPR-L training is provided within 90 days of the start of the academic year. Students 

unable to receive training during the regular training curriculum receive training within 

30 days of return. SAPR training focuses on the issue of sexual assault in the Navy, 

Sailors’ roles in preventing sexual assault through responsible decision-making and 

bystander intervention, reporting options, and available resources for victims of sexual 

violence. SAPR-F and SAPR-L training are tailored to provide guidance, prevention,

and response information unique to that specific campus environment. 

United States Naval Academy

USNA instructors are screened and selected based on educational experience and 

performance in the disciplines in which they will instruct. Civilian faculty members are 

required to hold a PhD, while military faculty members are required to hold at minimum 

a Master’s Degree. Military faculty members in the Permanent Military Professors 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

program are required to hold a PhD. The USNA SAPRO provides annual training and 

education for all midshipmen, faculty, staff, active duty, and civilian personnel. Training 

and education ranges from large group informational sessions to small, interactive 

discussions. 

7.3 Evaluate Commander SAPR Training—Describe your progress in developing 

core competencies and learning objectives for Pre-Command and Senior 

Enlisted Leader SAPR training. If your Service has completed an assessment of 

newly established core competencies and learning objectives, explain findings 

and recommendations. 

Navy’s SAPR-related training enhances the ability of all levels of leadership to 

comprehend the scope of the sexual assault problem, and the causes and factors 

which will drive its prevention. SAPR modules delivered for pre-command training 

courses and CMC/Chief of the Boat courses were updated in FY13 to incorporate 

standardized competencies and learning objectives established by DoD and the 

Services. Navy utilized portions of the SAPR-L training video in the updated module to 

ensure continuity of message and relevance for the operational fleet. Designed for all 

leaders in the grades of E-7 and above, SAPR-L focuses on leadership’s role in 

preventing sexual assaults including encouraging bystander intervention, creating the 

appropriate command climate, caring for victims, and holding alleged offenders 

appropriately accountable. DON SAPRO’s Commander’s Guide is also provided to all 

current and prospective command triads, to help them manage and execute their 

command SAPR programs.

DoD SAPRO assessed the following Pre-Command Course (PCC)/ SEL courses 

presented by the Navy Leadership and Ethics Center: Prospective Major Command 

Officers, Prospective Commanding Officer (PCO), Prospective Executive Officer, and 

Prospective CMC/Chief of the Boat in combined sessions, co-facilitated by a postcommand CO and post-tour CMC/Chief of the Boat. 

Navy specific findings and actions taken to correct noted discrepancies include the 

following:

• Bystander Intervention: This area is now addressed during PCC/SEL SAPR 

course, Navy Leadership and Ethics Center five episode Command Triad case 

study, and CSADD Chapter president presentation to PCOs during the RTC

visit. 

• Risk Reduction: Navy training includes prevention of destructive behaviors 

across the entire continuum of harm to include the following:

o Alcohol policies;

o Collaboration with on and off base establishments; 

o Command sponsorship programs;

o Bystander intervention/Awareness; and

o Command monitoring of individuals with behavior problems

• Reporting Options for non-Service members (DoD civilians, DoD dependents, 

DoD Contractors) both CONUS And OCONUS: A one-page handout addressing 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

85

these reporting options is now being disseminated to participants during the 

SAPR module

Navy took the following actions to address deficiencies, which were identified to have 

existed across all Services:

• Extend course length for greater use of adult learning theory techniques and 

required learning objectives: All core competencies/learning objectives are 

addressed in the current time allotted and reinforced elsewhere in the 

curriculum. 

• Approximately 50% of class time should include in adult learning technique:

Navy is in compliance.

• Use pre- and post-assessment tools: Navy conducts assessments at the 

conclusion of the PCC and SEL course to gauge the overall course curriculum 

and value to the attendees.

• Use prerequisite and take-away readings: Navy is in compliance.

• Fully address all core competencies/learning objectives in class setting or in 

prerequisite and/or take home materials: Navy is in compliance.

7.4 Develop Collaborative Forum for Sexual Assault Prevention Methods—

Describe your implementation plan and methods for establishing a community of 

practice and collaboration forum to share best and promising practices and 

lessons learned with external experts, federal partners, Military Services, NGB 

advocacy organizations, and educational institutions. 

Navy senior leadership plays a critical role by providing oversight, guidance, and 

review of SAPR programs. Multiple engagements and efforts ensure synergy across 

Navy and coordination across the Navy enterprise for a comprehensive solution.

The Navy SAPR Director meets regularly with CNO and VCNO to discuss program 

updates and initiatives. The Navy SAPR Director also provides regular updates to 

OPNAV three-star admirals. Navy four-star Fleet Commanders have a quarterly SAPR 

VTC with CNO to discuss trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement. Quarterly 

SAPR USFF Task Force and PACFLT Executive Steering Committee meetings provide 

an opportunity for combined shore and fleet leadership to coordinate and collaborate 

on SAPR initiatives. Navy senior leadership have regular, direct, face-to-face 

engagements with the fleet during fleet visits, where senior leaders hear directly from 

Sailors and share information about Navy SAPR initiatives. 

Navy SAPRO works closely with DoD SAPRO. Navy is an active participant in the 

OSD SAPRO-led executive integrated product team, the prevention round table, and 

ad hoc working groups focused on topics such as updated policy, NDAA 

implementation, and SECDEF initiatives. In August 2014, Navy SAPRO joined 

Director OSD SAPRO and other Service SAPR leads in site visits to and discussions 

with the Centers for Disease Control and USACIL. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

86

The Navy SAPR cross functional team comprised of SAPR stakeholders representing 

all LOEs, meets monthly to provide updates, synchronize actions, and ensure 

standardization of messaging across Navy. Collaboration via the cross functional team

is critical in bringing program challenges to the forefront as well as multi-dimensional 

resolution for the Total Force. 

The 21st Century Sailor Office was established to provide coordinated efforts in Sailor 

resiliency and readiness programs, and integrate efforts to counter destructive 

behaviors. The 21st Century Sailor Office is led by a Navy Admiral and is responsible 

for policy, resourcing, and oversight for a portfolio of programs, including the goal of 

measurably reducing and eliminating sexual assault. The portfolio also includes 

operational stress control and suicide prevention; physical readiness and nutrition; 

sexual harassment prevention; equal opportunity; hazing prevention; and drug and 

alcohol abuse prevention. The 21st Century Sailor Office addresses the need for 

coordination and synergies among these critical Sailor-focused programs across the 

entire continuum of harm by strategically enabling each level of accountability within 

the Navy: institutional, command, and individual. 

Another initiative that supports continued command awareness and engagement is the 

establishment of 25 permanent SAPRO billets to directly support the commanders of 

major staffs, type commands, and Navy regions. SAPROs work closely with local 

SARCs, Fleet Commander staffs, and local SAPR stakeholders to provide program 

continuity and ensure understanding and proper execution of policy, training, and 

oversight activities. SAPROs also provide a means to disseminate information and 

best practices to Sailors at all levels. 

During FY14, the Naval Post-graduate School (NPS) conducted a study designed to 

assist in developing proactive and adaptive Fleet communication strategies and 

tailored messages to help accomplish Navy’s SAPR vision of promoting and fostering a 

culturally aware and informed Navy respectful of all, intolerant of sexual assault, and 

supported by a synergistic program of prevention, advocacy, and accountability. NPS 

Researchers examined the effectiveness of existing communication strategies and 

identified innovative communication strategies for different Fleet audiences, including 

junior enlisted, enlisted leadership, chiefs, officers, CO/XOs, with an end goal of 

reducing sexual violence and enabling positive, respectful working relations. NPS 

worked in conjunction with designated Fleet members to gather data about existing 

and desired communication strategies to address the following: 

• Goals, both overarching SAPR goals and associated communication goals;

• Identification and analysis of key internal and external stakeholders related to 

SAPR’s effectiveness and goal priorities for each audience;

• Methods for measuring effectiveness for SAPR communication;

• Media types that might be most effective for each stakeholder group 

• Type of messages to be communicated;

• Best ways to reach all groups with different strategies;

• Suggestions for how often to train and with what media;
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

87

• Message framing strategies to achieve broad-based goals (attitude or 

behavioral change) as well as more specific message goals (e.g., courage to 

intervene if safe to do so or report harassment as a third party observer); and

• Sustainable, long-term communication processes for the SAPR program.

The study identified the opportunity for Navy to develop more proactive and adaptive 

Fleet communication strategies and tailored messages to successfully address a 

variety of internal and external stakeholders.

Community Outreach 

Working collaboratively with subject matter experts is important to better understand 

and overcome the challenges of preventing and responding to sexual assault. Local 

commanders work with external partners on an ongoing basis to develop plans based 

on expert advice in the fields of victim advocacy and law enforcement. These 

meetings will continue to foster open communication between first responders, 

stakeholder organizations, commanders, tenant commands, and local law enforcement 

to help prevent sexual assault.

Outreach efforts to prevent sexual assault and improve response capabilities span the 

globe. For example, Navy SARCs in Hawaii are part of the Community Action Team 

(CAT) comprised of Department of Health, other Service SARCs, universities, sex 

abuse treatment centers, and various non-profit organizations that support sexual 

assault victims. CAT meets annually to address statewide issues of sexual assault and 

share strategic planning ideas and implementations. 

Collaboration Outside of Navy

Navy representatives actively participate in DoD and DON sponsored working groups 

designed to improve data collection, procedures, resource management, policy 

development, training initiatives, and program execution. 

Navy leveraged highly qualified experts to enhance Navy’s ability to prevent and 

respond to sexual assault. 

7.5 Improving Response & Victim Treatment—Describe your efforts to improve 

overall victim care and trust in the chain of command. Include updates or 

initiatives undertaken by your Service to reduce the possibility of ostracizing 

victims, to increase reporting, and measures your Service has taken to account 

for victim input in these efforts.

Navy strives to care for victims and strengthen their resilience following a sexual 

assault by providing high-quality response services and a safe environment. Victim 

support for Navy active duty and reserve members relies on a broad coordinated 

network of support personnel: trained and certified SARCs, SAPR VAs, DRCs, 

chaplains, as well as medical and legal services providers. These victim support 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

88

personnel are responsible for advocacy coordination, medical services, legal support,

and counseling for the victim. However, none of these services can occur without the 

victim first making a report. Victims have the option to make a Restricted Report, 

which gives them access to medical, counseling, and legal services if they prefer; or 

victims can make an Unrestricted Report, which alerts the command and initiates an 

NCIS investigation, in addition to medical help. Navy must instill confidence and trust 

to motivate victims to report, while striving to continually improve the level of victim 

support services available. 

Navy remains committed to increasing victim confidence to self-report incidents. 

Continued leadership visibility and support is critical to build victim trust and endurance 

and ensure confidentiality is maintained in the SAPR process. Improvements to victim 

resources include VLC, the DoD Safe Helpline, VWAP, expedited transfers, and MPOs 

and CPOs.

Navy prohibits retaliation against any person who reports a criminal offense, brings 

forward a complaint, or cooperates in the investigation process. If the alleged 

perpetrator is the victim’s CO or otherwise in the victim’s chain of command, sexual 

assault victims have the opportunity to go outside the chain of command to report the 

offense to NCIS, other COs, the DoD Safe Helpline, or an Inspector General. If a 

Service member believes they have experienced any retaliatory action for making a 

report of sexual assault, he or she has a number of options to report the retaliation for 

investigation and appropriate action. To specifically ensure there are no retaliatory 

separations from the Navy, a Flag Officer reviews the records of any victim who is 

being considered for involuntary separation within one year of a final adjudication of an 

Unrestricted Report. 

DoD collects data on victim perceptions on retaliation using three sources: DEOCS, 

WGRS, and SES. Combining these three data sources provides a more robust 

understanding of Sailor perception and personal experiences. Navy will continue to 

use the three data sources to assess policies and initiatives. 

Navy SAPR strategy continues to focus on real and perceived barriers to reporting. 

DEOCS helps Navy assess progress in this area through command climate surveys. 

There is a decreasing trend in the percent of respondents who perceive barriers to 

reporting sexual assault. By the end of FY13, 50% of respondents perceived three or 

more barriers to reporting sexual assault. By the end of FY14, the respondents that 

perceived three or more barriers to reporting had decreased to 35%. 

The most frequently perceived barrier to reporting sexual assault was “loss of 

privacy/confidentiality” followed by “fear of social retaliation for making the report.” 

Navy training and awareness campaigns across all programs will continue to stress the 

importance of maintaining victim privacy. Navy continues its commitment to address 

Sailors’ privacy and confidentiality concerns by consistently stressing to all Sailors the 

importance of maintaining and fostering an environment intolerant of retaliation.

Social retaliation is a destructive behavior that inhibits victims’ reporting and recovery. 

Elimination of social retaliation is a command priority. It will be addressed on the 

continuum of harm and included in bystander intervention training. 

Navy fully supports the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Survivor Experience 

Survey (SES) and will continue work to encourage victims to participate in the survey. 

Launched in June 2014, the SES provides direct victim input and has already provided 

important insights into the reported experience of sexual assault victims, gaps in policy 

and processes, and other areas for improvement. The SES also validated the 

importance and value to victims of programs like the VLC and expedited transfer. 

Navy offers extensive care and resources to help and support sexual assault victims. 

Medical services assist victims in recovering from physical trauma. Counselors and 

chaplains contribute to resolving emotional and internal pain. Increasingly positive 

command climates and environments allow for victims to return to work without fear of 

retaliation for reporting. Credentialed SARCs work to manage SAPR VAs, UVAs and 

DRCs. They work with investigators, and legal personnel to advocate for and assist 

victims. Navy will continue to increase the capability of response personnel and 

programs to address victims’ needs. Navy uses assessments, described in the next 

section, to continually evaluate and improve the quality of services provided. 

7.6 Enhancing Protections—Describe your efforts to update policies allowing for 

the administrative reassignment or expedited transfer of a member who is 

accused of committing a sexual assault or related offense. Include your 

Service’s efforts to account for both the interests of the victim and the accused.

Commanders have the authority and flexibility to take measures to ensure the safety of 

assigned personnel, which may include temporary or permanent reassignment within 

and away from the command. Commanders process expedited transfer requests from 

victims who file Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault, considering a temporary or 

permanent reassignment of the alleged offenders instead of the victim pursuant to a 

determination that reasonable grounds exist to believe that an offense constituting 

sexual assault has occurred based on the advice of the supporting judge advocate and 

the available evidence or to maintain good order and discipline. 

7.7 Improving Victim Legal Support—Describe your efforts to establish a special 

victim’s advocacy program that provides legal advice and representation for 

victims of sexual assault. Include your Service’s measures of effectiveness for 

this program, as well as efforts made to collaborate and share best practices 

with other services. 

At the direction of the Secretary of Defense, Navy established the VLC Program to

provide independent legal counsel to eligible sexual assault victims. Establishment of 

the Navy VLC Program satisfies the “Special Victims’ Counsel” mandate of §1716 of 

the FY14 NDAA. The Navy VLC Program dedicated 31judge advocates and 10 

administrative employees, providing support at 23 U.S. and overseas Navy

installations. 

Navy VLC leadership meet frequently with victims’ counsel directors of the other 

services to share lessons learned, best practices, program documents, training 

opportunities, and policy updates. Group discussions and review often spark additional 

innovations and insight across all services to improve VLC legal support for all military 

sexual assault victims. Formal inter-service VLC meetings are held at least every two 

months while informal communications and collaboration takes place almost weekly to 

analyze and address collective issues or concerns as they arise in providing support to 

victims. The Navy VLC Program also operates a highly successful internal website 

offering immediate access to victim support and advocacy resources, guidance, and 

training and an active discussion board for working questions, practices, advice, and 

recommendations to maximize effective assistance for victims. Many of these 

practices or "lessons learned" are subsequently discussed with the other Service VLC 

programs.

Navy VLC complement and augment the support from SARCS, SAPR VAs, and other 

resources. VLC assist victims in understanding and exercising their reporting options, 

work with victims through the investigative and military justice processes, advocate for 

the victim’s rights and interests, and help victims obtain access to other support 

resources. At the victim’s request, VLC can accompany victims to law enforcement, 

trial counsel, and defense counsel interviews. VLC also assist victims in providing 

input to convening authorities regarding case disposition, final action on courts-martial 

findings, and any alleged offender’s requests for clemency. In FY14, Navy VLC 

assisted 719 sexual assault victims and advocated for their interests in 351 military 

justice proceedings, ranging from Article 32 hearings to pretrial conferences and 

motions hearings and courts-martial.

Victims are asked to complete a Victim Satisfaction Survey at the termination of VLC 

services. Participation is voluntary and responses are confidential. A cumulative 

survey report is routinely created and provided to VLC leadership to assess the 

ongoing effectiveness of VLC services. Victims are specifically asked for suggestions 

on improving the VLC Program. VLC also encourage clients to participate in the 

broader DoD SES. 

7.8 Develop Standardized and Voluntary Survey for Victims and Survivors—

Describe your progress in developing and participating in a standardized victim 

survey. List efforts made jointly with other Services and Departments to 

regularly administer the standardized victim survey in such a way that protects 

victim privacy and does not adversely impact victim legal and health status. 

Survivor Experience Survey (SES)

In a continuing effort to improve SAPR efforts, a DoD-wide SES was launched in June 

2014 to provide a mechanism to receive feedback from sexual assault victims. The 

SES is a completely anonymous survey administered by the DMDC specifically to 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Navy

91

military victims of sexual assault who filed a report of sexual assault. Respondents 

who submit surveys for this effort cannot be identified. Survey data will never be 

merged with any identifying information nor will any identifying data be provided to any 

agency outside of DMDC. To ensure all survivor responses are free from any 

information that might identify them, DMDC puts all data through a thorough a rigorous 

process to ensure that even combinations of certain responses will not identify a 

survivor. 

Workplace Gender Relations Survey

The biennial DoD WGRS is the primary tool to estimate the prevalence of unwanted 

sexual contacts across the Navy. It provides insight and feedback on unwanted sexual 

contact and unwanted sexual behavior. The WGRS utilizes a series of standard 

questions to measure the incidence of sexual assault over the previous 12-month 

period. WGRS also provides insights from victims on barriers to reporting and there 

level of satisfaction with response and support services.

Other Assessment Efforts

Navy seeks constant feedback on the effectiveness of SAPR programs. Navy 

measures system responsiveness through feedback from SARCs, SAPR VAs, VLC 

and victims themselves. Together, these metrics are reviewed quarterly by CNO and 

4-star Fleet Commanders to ensure alignment to the SAPR program.

Several local and regional Navy commands implemented independent assessment 

tools, such as local databases derived from OPREP/SITREP data and informal surveys 

to assess local trends. These demonstrate proactive methods to incorporate 

responsive, meaningful, and accurate systems of evaluation into all aspects of SAPR. 

Additionally, FFSCs give clients anonymous quarterly and annual surveys to complete 

and provide feedback on SAPR services they receive. All regions utilize monthly 

SACMG to measure SAPR program effectiveness. SACMGs provide an avenue to 

assess the quality of care and support provided to sexual assault victims.

FY14 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military Executive Summary:

United States Marine Corps

Sexual assault in the Marine Corps damages lives, destroys trust, erodes mission 

capability, and compromises unit readiness. Marine Corps leaders agree that this and 

other criminal acts and misconduct have no place among the ranks. They remain 

committed to eliminating this problem, offering support to all victims, and holding 

offenders appropriately accountable. In the last year, the Marine Corps has made 

progress in each of these areas.

According to the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, approximately 1,000 fewer 

Marines were victimized in 2014 than in 2012, which is especially significant given the 

94% reporting increase during that two-year period. With sexual assault being a highly 

underreported crime, this reveals that Marine Corps efforts are working to not only 

prevent sexual assault but instill confidence in victims that the necessary care and 

support will be provided. In addition to these trends, a larger number of Marine Corps 

victims are participating in the military justice process, leading to more sexual assault 

investigations being completed, more court-martial charges preferred for both 

penetrative and contact crimes, and more prosecutions for sexual offenses.

These and other positive signs are the result of a sustained effort toward Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response (SAPR) initiatives throughout FY14, which saw the continued 

implementation of the three-phase Marine Corps SAPR Campaign Plan. Launched in 

June 2012, the SAPR Campaign Plan was expanded in April 2014 to address specific 

periods of vulnerability, such as Marines transitioning to the operating forces from the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

entry level pipeline; the accuracy of existing SAPR metrics; and external communication 

and transparency. In FY14, the Marine Corps also ensured compliance with all sexual 

assault-related National Defense Authorization Act provisions, the 2014–2016 

Department of Defense (DOD) Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy, all Secretary of 

Defense (SecDef) memoranda and directives, and continues to evaluate and execute 

recommendations from the Response Systems Panel (RSP), Judicial Proceedings 

Panel (JPP).

Since FY12, the Marine Corps has expended over $16 million toward SAPR and special 

victim legal training initiatives, funding a 300% increase in full-time SAPR personnel in 

the field, 144% increase in headquarters-level SAPR personnel, and the establishment 

of the Victims’ Legal Counsel Organization (VLCO), which was established in November 

2013. Since its establishment, the VLCO has continuously expanded to meet demand, 

growing to 15 active-duty judge advocates, 1 senior paralegal, 8 enlisted legal services 

specialists, and 2 auxiliary counsel available to assist when needed. To date, the VLCO 

has assisted over 750 crime victims.

These and other large-scale initiatives, to include the ongoing development of the SAPR 

training continuum, have led to positive trends in other important areas, namely 

bystander intervention, leadership engagement, and command climate—three areas 

around which all SAPR training is built. According to recent survey data, more Marines 

are willing to intervene in high-risk situations, believe their command supports the SAPR 

program, and perceive a favorable command climate in which mutual respect and trust 

is promoted, and sexist comments and behaviors are actively discouraged.

Despite these promising data trends, the Marine Corps is careful not to confuse 

progress with victory. More efforts and improvement are needed in specific areas. 

Junior enlisted Marines continue to be the most at-risk demographic, with reporting 

rates among male victims remaining low and, despite a downward trend, prevalence 

rates among female Marines remaining relatively high. The Marine Corps will continue 

to strengthen its efforts against sexual assault—to include the prevention of alcohol 

abuse, sexual harassment, retaliation, and other high-risk behaviors and crimes—and is 

currently in the process of developing and implementing more customized training 

initiatives, targeted awareness campaigns, and victim protection mechanisms.

Historically, the Marine Corps has always been the youngest, most junior, and least 

married of all the Services—demographics that make this institution particularly 

susceptible to sexual assault. The Marine Corps recognizes that its demographics will 

not change, and that our SAPR efforts must be further strengthened and tailored to the 

unique Marine Corps culture and environment. The battle continues. All Marine Corps 

leaders, starting with the Commandant, remain engaged, committed, and willing to take 

the necessary measures to eliminate sexual assault completely from the ranks. In 

October 2014, the 36th Commandant of the Marine Corps assumed command and 

reinforced the Marine Corps commitment to continuing and advancing SAPR efforts: “I 

believe the Marine Corps has taken the right steps to combat sexual assaults within its 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

105

ranks; however, much work remains. I am committed to confronting this crime.”

1. Line of Effort (LOE) 1—Prevention—The objective of prevention is to “deliver 

consistent and effective prevention methods and programs.”

1.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Prevention Endstate: “cultural 

imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional values, and team 

commitment are reinforced to create an environment where sexual assault or 

sexual harassment is not tolerated, condoned, or ignored.”

The Marine Corps continues to develop its SAPR training continuum, with new and 

updated training initiatives being implemented even before recruit training, emphasizing 

individual character and the core values, and extending into the later stages of a 

Marine’s career, focusing on leadership and accountability. While built around 

leadership engagement, each of these Marine Corps SAPR training programs were 

designed to reduce stigma, challenge preexisting beliefs, and disrupt the offender’s 

cycle of harm in part by teaching the principles of bystander intervention. Research has 

shown that the likelihood of bystanders intervening to prevent a crime decreases 

significantly when the offender and the victim know each other. This finding is especially 

critical in the context of sexual assault, where the large majority of victims are 

acquainted with their attackers. This reluctance to intervene is most effectively 

addressed at the community level with proper training that empowers bystanders in two 

ways: 1) infusing them with a sense of responsibility to intervene, and 2) teaching them 

how to intervene. The Marine Corps has addressed these two elements in its training 

courses by appealing to all Marines’ sense of duty to protect each other and instructing 

them in the three D’s of bystander intervention: Direct, Distract, and Delegate. The 

following specific training products were developed and implemented in FY14:

“Step Up” for Junior Enlisted Marines

Marine Corps efforts to focus on that critical period of transition between entry-level 

training and the operating forces were strengthened by the 28 July 2014 release of the 

“Step Up” bystander intervention training program. Designed specifically for junior 

Marines, the most at-risk demographic in the Marine Corps, “Step Up” is a 90-minute 

video-based, interactive program that teaches the principles of bystander intervention. 

The video segment, which is integral and exclusive to this training, follows a group of 

acquainted junior Marines attending an off-base house party during which one Marine 

aggressively pursues another. The training teaches Marines about sexual assault and 

how to prevent it by identifying in this scenario the different ways in which bystanders 

could have intervened to stop an incident from occurring.

Regarding bystander intervention, “Step Up” training discusses red flags (i.e., actions 

and behaviors that go against the core values of the Marine Corps), as well as when 

and how to intervene, providing specific techniques and examples. In addition, the “Step 

Up” curriculum teaches junior Marines about healthy relationships, consent, sexual 

harassment (and how it differs from sexual assault), and reporting options for victims.

Ethical Discussion Groups (EDGs)
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

106

Based on the success of the six video-based EDGs that were implemented in FY12 as 

part of All Hands training, eight additional EDGs were developed in 2014. Four were 

distributed for Corps-wide use in September 2014. The remaining four will be 

incorporated into trainings targeting leaders at various levels. The EDGs enhance 

Marine Corps prevention training efforts, incorporating bystander intervention and 

teaching Marines how to properly respond if a sexual assault occurs. Each EDG targets 

a specific audience, from junior Marines to leadership, and relates to the targeted 

audience’s level of responsibility and knowledge. Using realistic scenarios that depict 

incidents surrounding a sexual assault, EDGs allow Marines to think about how they 

would act in similar situations, preparing them to intervene and respond appropriately in 

real life. After watching an EDG video, Marines participate in small groups that enable 

candid, nonjudgmental discussions and serve to dispel myths and misconceptions 

about sexual assault.

In FY14, one of the EDG videos titled “The Gunny” received a bronze Telly Award. The 

Telly Award is an industry award for creative excellence honoring outstanding video and 

film programs. Winners represent the best work of many national and regional 

advertising agencies and production companies. “The Gunny” recounts a scenario in 

which a female Lance Corporal tells her Gunnery Sergeant that she was raped by 

another Lance Corporal the previous night. Rather than putting her in contact with a 

Uniformed Victim Advocate (UVA), the Gunnery Sergeant takes it upon himself to 

handle the situation the wrong way. After obtaining details about the incident from the 

victim, including the name of the alleged offender, the Gunnery Sergeant sends the 

victim home and angrily confronts the offender, eventually taking him to the Provost 

Marshal’s Office (PMO). Later, the Sergeant Major gets wind of how the Gunnery 

Sergeant handled the situation and asks to speak with him. While the Sergeant Major 

praises the Gunnery Sergeant’s initiative, he corrects his judgment on how to handle 

reports of sexual assault and goes through the proper protocol for such situations.

***

Military Equal Opportunity (Sexual Harassment)

While the Marine Corps SAPR program continues to implement large-scale initiatives,

the Marine Corps Military Equal Opportunity (EO) program continues to advance its 

primary objective of integrating equal opportunity into every aspect of Marine Corps life. 

Specific objectives include building and maintaining a cohesive combat-ready corps of 

Marines who are focused and determined to accomplish their mission; promoting

teamwork and cohesion through the elimination of prejudices and harassment; and 

ensuring equal opportunity exist for all Marines.

 

Regarding EO matters, the Marine Corps operates under the following principles, 

outlined in Marine Corps Order P5354.1D: “The organizational climate of a unit is the 

responsibility of the Commander. Sound leadership is the key to eliminating all forms of 

unlawful discrimination, and those in supervisory positions must foster an environment 

free of inappropriate behavior. All individuals in the unit must be treated fairly and with 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

107

mutual respect.” Leadership training is thus our primary means of implementing the 

Corps EO objectives. It includes the following methods to prevent discrimination and 

forms of harassment: 

− Being proactive and ensuring that all EO complaints are thoroughly investigated.

− Ensuring all Marines are aware of the avenues for filing EO complaints and 

actions that will be taken against personnel in substantiated cases. A capable, 

trusted method of communicating EO complaints strengthens our Corps against 

negative values and inappropriate behavior.

− Setting the example by knowing what sexual harassment is and refusing to 

condone it. Marines must not only refrain from sexual harassment but also 

actively counter and report such actions immediately. Counseling harassers 

when sexual harassment is viewed even if a complaint is not filed.

1.2 Describe your progress in enhancing and integrating SAPR Professional 

Military Education in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 requirements.

In compliance with the FY12 NDAA, SAPR training at each level Professional Military 

Education (PME) is tailored to Marines’ new responsibilities and leadership as they are 

promoted, emphasizing the central role of leadership in sexual assault prevention and 

response. Officer PME at the Expeditionary Warfare School and the Command and 

Staff College utilizes case studies to emphasize the importance of response protocol, 

command climate, and leadership engagement. All PME – to include Sergeants Course, 

Staff Academy, Advanced Academy, and First Sergeants Course – is aligned with DODI 

6495.02 and covers the following requirements: 

− Explanation and analysis of the SAPR program;

− Explanation and analysis of the necessity of immediate responses after a sexual 

assault has occurred to counteract and mitigate the long-term effects of violence. 

Long-term responses after sexual assault has occurred will address the lasting 

consequences of violence;

− Explanation of rape myths, facts, and trends pertaining to the military population;

− Explanation of the Commander’s and senior enlisted Service member’s role in 

the SAPR program;

− Review of all items found in the Commander’s protocols for Unrestricted Reports 

of sexual assault; and

− Overview of what constitutes reprisal and procedures for reporting allegations of 

reprisal.

1.3 Describe your progress in implementing core competencies and learning 

objectives for all SAPR training to ensure consistency throughout the military. If 

already implemented, describe how you are monitoring and assessing outcomes. 

The Marine Corps continues to assess its training programs across the SAPR training 

continuum, implementing all core competencies and learning objectives as identified by 

DOD SAPRO. In January 2014, the SAPR training at the Marine Corps Commanders 

Course was observed by DOD SAPRO, which found that 5 of 20 learning objectives 

were not met, and an additional 2 were only partially met. The Marine Corps has since 

updated its SAPR training at the Commanders Course to meet all 20 learning 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

108

objectives, and is working to expand its curriculum (and time block) specifically to 

facilitate the interactive, skills-application case study portion of the training. The Marine 

Corps will continue to monitor all of its training programs to help ensure consistency 

across the Services, and welcomes future opportunities for assessment by DOD 

SAPRO.

1.4 Describe your progress in ensuring Commanders receive training on sexual 

assault prevention and response during pre-command courses.

The Marine Corps Commanders Course is mandatory for all prospective Commanders 

and Senior Enlisted Advisors. The course emphasizes the importance of command 

climate and the central role of leadership in both prevention and response. The fourphase course employs a read-ahead, a group lecture/discussion, and practical 

application (i.e., small-team problem-solving scenarios). The last phase is a brief by 

their installation Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) within 30 days of 

assuming command or getting posted. The brief covers SAPR resources available at 

the local level. In addition to teaching the basic concepts and issues related to sexual 

assault in the military, the Commanders Course is designed to ensure that all Marine 

Corps leaders understand:

− Risks and circumstances associated with sexual assault incidence and the 

proactive measures to prevent sexual assault and other destructive behaviors 

within their command;

− Essential elements of quality victim care and the roles and responsibilities of 

victim service providers;

− Complexity of sexual assault crimes and the appropriate investigation and 

disposition options available; and

− The roles of Commanders and Senior Enlisted Leaders in fostering a command 

environment free of sexual assault.

To reinforce these lessons throughout a Commander’s career, HQMC SAPR is 

developing refresher training, to be conducted annually by Installation SARCs, for all 

Command Teams. 

HQMC SAPR also outreaches to Commanders of all ranks. For example, in FY14, a 

SAPR brief was conducted at the Brigadier General Select Orientation Course 

(BGSOC). Material provided as part of this presentation outlined key command 

responsibilities—including military protective orders, civilian protective orders, expedited 

transfers, transferring of the alleged offender, and holding offenders appropriately 

accountable—while the brief emphasized the importance of setting a command climate 

nonpermissive to sexual assault and making sure that any incidents are properly 

addressed per policy.

1.5 Describe your progress in incorporating specific SAPR monitoring, measures, 

and education into readiness and safety forums (e.g., quarterly training guidance, 

unit status reports, safety briefings).

To keep lines of communication open with the fleet, HQMC SAPR has developed a 

communication strategy that includes face-to-face engagements, traditional print media, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

109

and social media platforms. Spurred by Summer 2014 Roadshow of the SAPR Branch 

Head, face-to-face engagements between HQMC SAPR and installation Marines

increased in FY14 and is further planned for FY15 to help accomplish the following 

objectives: 

− Serve as a model of engaged leadership that emphasizes every Marine’s 

inherent duty to step up and step in to prevent sexual assault;

− Enhance and expand communications between HQMC SAPR and Marines of all 

levels 

− Provide Marines with the status of their SAPR efforts;

− Provide HQMC SAPR with situational awareness of how Marines perceive the 

SAPR Program and efforts; 

− Enable HQMC SAPR to measure the tempo of ground operations; and 

− Enable HQMC SAPR to provide assistance with installation-level SAPR 

programs. 

As part of this communication strategy, the Marine Corps began the electronic 

distribution of a SAPR Monthly Snapshot in August 2014. This document was designed 

to provide Marines with an understanding of the ground situation of sexual assault in the 

Corps. The SAPR Monthly Snapshot enumerates the total number of reports filed each 

month and in the fiscal year to date. The document also provides metrics that detail 

SAPR progress in terms of command climate, response and accountability, and the 

demographics of sexual assault. Each of these topics will be addressed once per

quarter, with the goal of tracking development over the long term. HQMC also produces 

brochures, newsletters, and other print media throughout the year to communicate with 

different audiences about SAPR efforts and progress.

In addition, the following initiatives have been implemented to enhance SAPR 

prevention efforts and education across the Corps:

Pre-deployment Training

The Marine Corps revised its pre-deployment SAPR training program, which now 

includes bystander intervention and risk reduction strategies. The training also provides 

information pertaining to the country anticipated for deployment, emphasizing its 

customs, mores, and religious practices. In addition, the training identifies first 

responders who will be available during deployment, to include law enforcement, legal, 

the SARC, UVAs, healthcare personnel, and Chaplains.

Annual Training for all Marines

Every Marine is required to complete annual SAPR training to ensure a thorough 

understanding of the nature of sexual assault in the military environment and the entire 

cycle of prevention, reporting, response, and accountability. While each annual training 

program is customized to grade and level of responsibility for each Marine, all SAPR 

training provides Marines with a general knowledge of sexual assault, to include:

− What constitutes sexual assault;
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

110

− Why sexual assault is a crime;

− The definition of consent;

− Available reporting options, exceptions, and limitations of each option;

− Awareness of the Commander’s roles, responsibilities, and available military and 

civilian resources for victims;

− The distinction between sexual assault and sexual harassment and other types 

of sexual-related misconduct; and

− Methods of prevention and risk reduction, to include bystander intervention.

Other ongoing initiatives include HQMC quality assurance measures, such as IG 

inspections and courtesy visits; data fidelity measures, to include Defense Sexual 

Assault Incident Database (DSAID) monitoring; as well as ongoing collaboration with 

Force Preservation Council and Leadership Development Program.

1.6 Describe your progress in exploring expansion of SAPR training to include 

Recruit Sustainment Programs, Student Flight Programs, and for National Guard 

prior to arrival at Basic Training.

The Marine Corps has instituted a formal two-hour ethics package course of instruction 

titled “Whole of Character” for all poolees (i.e., Marine Corps enlistees in the Delayed 

Entry Program [DEP] who are awaiting travel to Recruit Training). This training is 

conducted by recruiters and required prior to accession. It is designed to introduce 

young men and women to the Marine Corps ethos of honor, courage, and commitment, 

while addressing the Marine Corps position on sexual assault, harassment, hazing, and 

alcohol abuse. Learning objectives include:

− Understand the Marine Corps core values and how they are consistent with 

ethical standards of behavior;

− Understand the DOD definitions of sexual harassment, sexual assault, consent, 

and bystander intervention;

− See the value of making ethical decisions consistent with Marine Corps ethical 

standards;

− Anticipate consequences of decisions; and

− Avoid actions that could lead to negative outcomes.

Upon initial enlistment, recruits view the “Conduct Awareness” video, which describes 

inappropriate behavior and how to report misconduct and crimes, delivered by the 

Military Entrance and Processing Station (MEPS) Liaison.

In addition to “Whole of Character” training, all new members of the DEP receive a 

“Welcome Aboard Package” at the time of acceptance for enlistment into the Marine 

Corps. This packet is geared toward all new members and their families. In addition to a 

booklet and video about the command, sexual assault wallet cards are included that 

outline the DEP member’s responsibilities for reporting of any incidents, bystander 

intervention, and acceptable conduct and reporting.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

111

During recruit training, recruits now receive four separate SAPR-related trainings.

Training is provided on the first day of arrival to recruit training, conducted by a UVA. 

The second is on Training Day 10, which is a lecture given by the MCRD academics 

department. The third is a foot locker discussion with their Senior Drill Instructor, which 

occurs at Training Day 50. The fourth occurs at the end of recruit training and consists 

of the Marine Corps “Lost Honor” video, which includes interviews with four Marines 

convicted of sexual assault, each recounting the various circumstances and decisions 

leading up to the incident.

1.7 Describe your efforts to establish and implement policies that prevent 

individuals convicted of a Federal or State offense of rape, sexual abuse, sexual 

assault, incest, or other sexual offenses, from being provided a waiver for 

commissioning or enlistment in the Armed Forces. 

Current DOD Accession Policy prevents the commissioning or enlistment of individuals 

convicted of these crimes, which is reinforced in Marine Corps Recruiting Command 

(MCRC) policy. MCRC Order 1100.1 states: “Any applicant who was prosecuted, and 

convicted, or received an adverse adjudication for a Major Misconduct Offense (felony) 

or Misconduct Offense (misdemeanor) as an adult or juvenile of any sexual-related 

crime, or sexual assault is disqualified for enlistment. Any applicant with a conviction for 

an offense which results in the mandatory registration as a Sexual Offender on the 

National Sexual Offender Registry is ineligible for enlistment. No waivers will be 

considered.”

1.8 Describe your progress in establishing a transition policy that ensures 

Service member sponsorship, unit integration, and immediate assignment into a 

chain of command. If already established, describe findings and 

recommendations.

The Addendum to the CMC’s SAPR Campaign Plan, approved in April 2014, directs the 

Marine Corps to review and update the Marine Corps Sponsorship Program, as 

appropriate, to mitigate the risk of sexual assault for Marines in transition. The 

Addendum also directs the Marine Corps to identify best practices and institutionalize 

the process for Marines Awaiting Training during the entry-level training pipeline and 

transitioning to the operating forces. In addition, HQMC SAPR is currently coordinating 

with the Marine Corps Leadership Development Program to augment the existing 

mentoring program with SAPR-specific responsibilities.

1.9 Describe your progress in ensuring Commanders conduct an organizational 

climate assessment within 120 days of assuming command and annually 

thereafter. Include policy for providing results to the next level in the chain of 

command.

All Commanders must ensure all members administratively attached to their commands 

have the opportunity to participate in the assessment process. For this purpose, the 

Marine Corps utilizes two separate, mandatory command climate surveys, both of which 

must be briefed to the next level in the chain of command after completion.

For commands with more than 50 personnel, the Defense Equal Opportunity 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

112

Management Institute (DEOMI) Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) will be 

conducted within 90 days of assumption of command, and annually thereafter. 

Subordinate commands of 50 or less personnel will be surveyed with a larger unit in the 

command to ensure anonymity. All survey results will be briefed to the next higher level 

Commander in the chain of command within 30 days of receipt of the survey results. To 

ensure this requirement is being met, new features have been added to the command 

climate survey request form and notification emails. Per MARADMIN 464/13, published 

September 2013, survey administrators enter the next level Commander’s information 

of their DEOCS request to ensure he/she is aware that the survey has been requested 

and that a brief will be required. 

In addition, a new command climate survey directed by the Commandant of the Marine 

Corps (CMC) was implemented in June 2013 to supplement the existing DEOMI survey. 

The CMC’s command climate survey is mandatory within 30 days of assuming 

command, and annually thereafter. Per MARADMIN 316/13, published June 2013, 

survey results are briefed to the next higher level Commander in the chain of command.

Command climate surveys identify areas in a unit that can be improved, allowing 

Commanders to prevent misconduct that may lead to serious crimes, such as sexual 

assault. These surveys are designed to measure the overall health and well-being of a 

command, helping to identify and mitigate the high-risk behaviors that tear at the fabric 

of the Corps.

1.10 Describe your progress in establishing a clear policy to reduce the impact of 

high-risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities to sexual assaults and other 

crimes against persons (e.g., alcohol consumption, barracks visitation, transition 

policy). Include efforts to collaborate with law enforcement, alcohol and 

substance abuse officers, and etc.

The Reawakening campaign was launched in October 2013 with the aim to return and 

re-strengthen Marine Corps focus on its timeless foundations and ethos, and thus 

eliminate high-risk behaviors. The Reawakening campaign was designed to ensure a 

smooth transition from more than a decade of continuous combat to a return to garrison 

and the primary role as a crisis-response force-in-readiness. As such, the campaign 

focused on the foundations of discipline, faithfulness, self-excellence, and concerned 

leadership especially with regard to NCOs: 42% of the active duty Marine Corps hold 

the rank of Lance Corporal or below, making the Marine Corps easily the most junior of 

all military services. Initiatives implemented as a result of the Reawakening campaign 

included policy changes pertaining to the following: 

Alcohol Sales

The Marine Corps efforts to improve safety and reduce the risks posed by alcohol, 

especially in relation to sexual assault prevention, are outlined below. In addition to 

policy reviews, initiatives have been implemented pertaining to the proper training of 

alcohol providers, responsible sales practices, awareness efforts including public 

service announcements, and “Whole of Character” training programs for new Marines 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

113

that emphasize responsible and ethical behavior. These efforts include:

On-Base Alcohol Sales Restrictions: MCO 1700.22F on Alcoholic Beverage Control is 

being updated and is expected to be published in early 2015. The MCO will provide 

additional safeguards for on-base facilities that sell/serve alcohol and reflect 

requirements outlined in a memo released by the CMC in August 2013. These 

requirements have already been implemented at all on-base facilities and include the 

following:

− Restriction of on-base retail alcoholic beverage sales to the hours of 0800 to 

2200;

− Removal of distilled spirit products from sites adjacent to barracks;

− Reinforcement of Department of Defense (DOD) alcoholic beverage pricing 

policy at local commands;

− Limitation of floor space dedicated to the sale and display of alcoholic beverages 

in locations other than package stores or consolidated main stores, that 

encompass the package store, to no more than 10% of total retail selling floor 

space available; 

− Consolidated locations for alcohol beverage products and displays so that they 

are away from the main entrance of the facility (sides or rear) in a location not 

normally used by underage patrons;

− Restriction of in-store marketing of alcoholic beverages to the area where alcohol 

is sold; and

− Site-by-site evaluation of on-base facilities operated by the Marine Corps outside 

of the United States to ensure compliance with existing ration programs and 

applicable Status of Forces Agreements.

Training for Alcohol Providers: All Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) 

employees who serve alcohol consumed on premises are required to complete annual 

responsible alcohol service training using the industry recognized ServSafe Alcohol 

certification program, offered by the National Restaurant Association, or the Controlling 

Alcohol Risks Effectively (CARE) program, offered by the American Hotel & Lodging 

Educational Institute. In addition, a data call was released in September 2014 requiring 

verification that all Marine Corps employees (employed 30 days or longer) who sell or 

serve alcohol to patrons for immediate consumption on premises have attended and 

successfully passed the approved alcohol service training program. All commands 

reported their employees had completed the required training, or are currently in the 

process of completing the annual renewal requirement

− The Marine Corps NAF Business and Support Services Division (MR) contacted 

the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit Safe Bars Initiative to determine if their 

training program for bar staff to recognize and respond to incidents of sexual 

harassment and sexual assault among staff and patrons might be appropriate for 

adoption by club staff. While it was determined that the training was too early in 

the stages of development for adoption by the Marine Corps, which already 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

114

provides bystander intervention training to club staff utilizing the CARE program, 

the initiative appears promising. Marine Corps personnel were provided more 

information about the initiative and will further review the training to determine 

whether it fits the evidence-based prevention model for inclusion in civilian 

bystander intervention training.

The Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) SAPR branch is collaborating with the HQMC 

Substance Abuse Program (SAP) to draft a Public Service Announcement that 

addresses all Marines taking action to identify and intervene when high-risk behaviors 

are present. 

HQMC SAP provides policy level guidance to the field via MCO 5300.17 that requires 

installation specific alcohol abuse prevention planning that encompasses a 

comprehensive marketing plan to combat misuse and abuse of alcohol for coping. In 

addition, MCO 5300.17 on Marine Corps SAP is currently being updated to reflect a 

correlation between the use of alcohol and other significant behavioral health issues, 

including sexual assault. 

Enhanced Barracks Oversight

In September 2013, at the General Officers Symposium, the CMC called for several 

new initiatives pertaining to the barracks. He cited several behavioral problems as the 

reasoning behind these changes, mentioning specifically the issues of sexual assault, 

hazing, alcohol misuse, fraternization, and failure to maintain personal appearance 

standards. These initiatives included:

− Sergeants and Corporals will return to the barracks to provide leadership to the 

maximum extent possible. This policy change was made in 2011, with the CMC

saying it was necessary to save money and put the Corps’ new, impressive 

bachelor enlisted quarters to full use.

− Senior officers, staff NCOs (SNCOs), and NCOs will be in and out of the 

barracks regularly, especially between 2000 and 0400.

− Company-grade officers will be assigned as officers on duty and SNCOs will be 

assigned as staff officers on duty. All Marines on duty will be required to wear 

service uniforms, either Bravos or Charlies, depending on which uniform is in 

season.

− Two NCOs will be on duty per barracks, and a firewatch will be conducted on 

each floor of each building.

− Television and video games will not be allowed in the watchstander’s place of 

duty. They must be out and about, and not behind a desk.

1.11 Describe your progress in implementing the 2014 Department of Defense 

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy.

The Marine Corps has assessed the 2014 DOD Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy and 

developed courses of action to ensure compliance with all identified initiatives, many of 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

115

which overlap with existing initiatives put forth in the SAPR Campaign Plan and 

Addendum. Specific DOD Prevention Strategy tasks that the Marine Corps has 

implemented include:

− Conduct specialized leader sexual assault prevention training

− Develop and expand gender-responsive and culturally competent programs (e.g. 

mentorship, initial entry) to address healthy relationships and active bystander 

intervention—with the emphasis that core values should anchor all actions—in 

order to support the establishment of a culture of mutual respect

− Review and if necessary expand DOD and Service alcohol policies to address 

factors beyond individual use (e.g. pricing, outlet density, Arizona Safe Bars 

Alliance)

− Explore the development of (enhancement of existing) sexual assault deterrence 

measures and messaging (e.g. publishing court martial results).

− Assess, implement core competencies and continue to update all sexual assaultprevention related training and programs based on latest evidence-based 

research, practices, and lessons learned

− Implement policies that appropriately address high-risk situations targeted by 

offenders

− Institute recurring senior leadership meetings (e.g. quarterly Flag Officer/General 

Officer drumbeat, leader summits) to review sexual assault prevention programs 

(not case management group meetings)

− Develop sexual assault prevention strategies and programs which employ peers, 

near-peers (e.g. Service member one rank higher or somewhat senior in position 

of authority), and social influencers

1.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

On 30 September 2014, HQMC SAPR hosted an Inter-Service Working Group on 

Marine Corps Base (MCB) Quantico that included SAPR representatives from each 

Service and DOD SAPRO, as well as representatives from NCIS and HQMC Behavioral 

Health. The speaker was Dr. James Hopper, an independent consultant, therapist, 

researcher, and clinical instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School. His 

presentation was titled “Outreach to Males Sexually Assaulted in the Service: 

Foundations, Basics, Next Steps.” The working group discussed potential initiatives, but 

all agreed that not enough substantive research on the topic existed to validate a 

specific approach. Key takeaways included:

− Highlight the myths surrounding male sexual assault to leadership at every level 

to mitigate stereotypes surrounding male victimization.

− Most traumatized men have other traumas they might feel safer discussing.

These might include Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), combat, and other 

adult trauma. 

− Speculation as to why most males do not seek help includes the lack of 

awareness and acceptance of males as victims of USC. This includes the 

perception that it is unmanly and weak to be a victim, need or seek help, or share 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

116

vulnerabilities.

− The general consensus of the working group was that male victims are not 

comfortable reporting USC to a SARC, VA, UVA, or anyone on base.

Areas to focus on included attacking the stigma surrounding male victimization; 

establishing anonymous and confidential protocols for male victims to access available 

supportive services; learning about and employing the fundamentals of outreach, e.g., 

using language that empowers them rather than labeling them, and launching an 

awareness campaign.

In addition, the Marine Corps has continued its collaboration with the Rape, Abuse, 

Incest National Network (RAINN), which operates the DOD Safe Helpline, a military and 

civilian resource database. The DOD Safe Helpline service referral database is 

populated with input from each Military Service, the National Guard Bureau, the Coast 

Guard, Military OneSource, and Military HomeFront, and is updated frequently to 

ensure accuracy and provides information on SARCs, legal, medical, mental health, and 

spiritual military resources. The referral database also houses information for local 

civilian resources for Safe Helpline users (victims and victim assistance providers) 

seeking information and crisis support from both civilian and military response systems.

Representatives from RAINN and the DOD Safe Helpline have participated in the 

Marine Corps SAPR Annual Training Event in August 2014 as guest lecturers.

1.13 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective prevention 

methods and programs, including how these efforts will help your Service plan, 

resource and make progress in your SAPR program.

The Marine Corps continues to expand its SAPR Branch at the headquarters level, 

adding more research and prevention subject matter expertise to implement a more 

comprehensive approach to preventing sexual assault. These efforts will focus on 

validating the effectiveness of existing initiatives and protecting vulnerable Marines from 

high-risk situations. Prevention efforts will consider all Marine populations (bystanders, 

victims, and offenders) in order to fully understand and interrupt the chain of an 

offender's actions, prior to an incident of sexual assault. In addition to continued 

implementation of its SAPR Campaign Plan and the Phase II Addendum, HQMC SAPR 

will also increase collaboration with other Marine Corps programs to strategically 

address associated behaviors, including sexual harassment as a possible precursor and 

substance abuse.

More research will also be conducted to identify more effective training approaches, 

including a virtual immersive training model. Steps have already been taken toward the 

development of a large-scale SAPR training product that focuses on the roles and 

leadership responsibilities of company grade officers, SNCOs, and NCOs. Using the 

virtual immersive model, the training will be designed to enhance the target audiences’ 

knowledge and skills through an evidence-based approach that positively modifies 

behavior with respect to SAPR. The training will center on a video production-based 

simulation requiring participants to play characters in order to identify, prevent, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

117

intervene, and/or respond to sexual assault or related incidents or dilemmas. The 

participants will practice in the safety of cyberspace to address real-life situations they 

may encounter in their roles as leaders, supervisors, and mentors. The participants will 

learn about consequences of their decisions and actions in terms of how they can affect 

a victim, unit, and ultimately the Marine Corps.

Each training simulation storyline will be multidimensional in scope, meaning there are 

several complex and dynamic issues and dilemmas occurring simultaneously or that 

compound over a period of time. The storylines will not be limited to a single incident 

during a single period of time, but be inclusive of various periods of time following a 

sexual assault (e.g., six months after a report is filed, etc.). Below are some topical 

areas that will be included in the training simulations:

− Reporting outside of the chain of command;

− Addressing false reporting and maintaining supportive climate for victims;

− Contributing to a positive command climate;

− Recognizing signs of retaliation;

− Selection of Uniformed Victim Advocates;

− Initial actions for responding to sexual assault;

− Expedited transfers;

− Navy Regulation Article 1137 (Mandatory Reporting);

− Sexual assault prevention; and

− Distinguishing between sexual assault and sexual harassment.

Additionally, all other training requirements will be covered in accordance with DODI 

6495.02 and the DOD learning objectives and core competencies.

2. LOE 2—Investigation—The objective of investigation is to “achieve high 

competence in the investigation of sexual assault.”

2.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Investigation Endstate: “investigative 

resources yield timely and accurate results.”

In FY14, Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) – the Military Criminal 

Investigation Organization (MCIO) for the Marine Corps – continued its use of the Adult 

Sexual Assault Program (ASAP) teams, established in June 2012 in support of the DOD 

Special Victim Capability (SVC) initiative. ASAP pairs special agents and investigators 

dedicated specifically to the investigation of sexual assaults. This team concept allows 

personnel to surge sex crime investigations, resulting in a more timely completion and a 

quicker delivery of investigative reports to Navy and Marine Corps Convening 

Authorities. ASAP members collaborate throughout the investigative process with Victim 

Advocates (VAs), Victim Legal Counsel (VLC), and prosecutors, in accordance with the 

SVC criteria. 

To help offset the increase in sexual assault reporting, the Department of the Navy 

(DON) approved 54 new NCIS billets—including 41 special agents and 13 support 

staff—in July 2013. The Special Agents have completed the nearly six-month Special 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

118

Agent Basic Training Program at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center 

(FLETC) and reported to their assigned field offices, where they are now participating in 

the Field Training Evaluation Program (FTEP). During the FTEP, new special agents 

investigate such crimes as larcenies, burglaries, and drug offenses to gain experience 

and further develop their investigative skills. Although these new special agents are not 

currently investigating sexual assaults, their contributions help mitigate overall 

workloads, allowing more experienced agents to focus on the investigation of sex 

crimes.

To further address increased sexual assault reporting, NCIS activated 21 NCIS Masterat-Arms (MA) reservists for a period of one year. The reservists are predominantly local 

and state police officers and detectives who already possess the investigative expertise 

needed to investigate sexual assault allegations. The MAs were recalled to active duty 

and attended five weeks of instruction on NCIS policy, advanced 

interviewing/interrogation techniques, crime scene processing/management, and 

advanced sexual assault training at FLETC. The MAs graduated in July 2014 and 

reported to NCIS field offices in the continental United States for duty. 

2.2 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability for MCIOs. 

The implementation of ASAP in June 2012 established SVC for NCIS. Since its 

implementation, the timeliness of NCIS sexual assault investigations improved markedly 

without any degradation to investigative quality. ASAP teams operate in fleet 

concentration areas where the volume of sexual assault reports is the greatest. ASAP 

teams have been established in the following locations:

− Camp Lejeune, NC – established June 2012

− Norfolk, VA – established August 2012

− Okinawa, Japan – established September 2012

− Camp Pendleton, CA – established October 2012

− Bremerton, WA – established March 2013

− San Diego, CA – established April 2013

− Yokosuka, Japan – established August 2013
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

119

NCIS investigative timelines are calculated from initial notification until the date all 

logical investigative leads have been completed and the case has been presented to 

command for administrative/judicial action. Prior to the ASAP concept, investigative 

timelines were as long as 300 days in some locations. The average timeline for 

investigations conducted by ASAP teams in FY 2013 was 110 days, nearly a 24% 

decrease from 144 days in FY 2012. Data through the 4rd quarter of FY 2014 indicates 

the length of investigations is 126 days, which is attributed to the continued increase in 

sexual assaults reported throughout the year.

Additionally, since the expansion of Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice 

(UCMJ), the number of reported sexual assaults investigated by NCIS has increased 

significantly. The 2014 sexual assault statistics showed a 55% increase in sexual 

assault investigations since June 2012. NCIS has diverted Special Agents from other 

critical mission areas to address this dramatic increase. 

2.3 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability case 

assessment protocol for open and closed sexual assault, child abuse, and 

serious domestic violence cases. 

NCIS policy directs supervisors to conduct a case review every 30 days on open 

investigations to ensure timeliness, thoroughness, and quality. Additionally, NCIS 

investigations are subject to further supervisory reviews during field office senior 

management visits, quality assistance visits by Executive Assistant Directors, field office 

inspections by the NCIS Inspector General, and NCISHQ program reviews.

Per DODI 5505.18, when an MCIO is the lead investigative agency, it may not close an 

adult sexual assault investigation without the written disposition data documented in the 

final investigative report or database. An NCIS investigation is not forwarded to

command for administrative/judicial action until all investigative leads have been 

completed. Once the case has been adjudicated, the investigation is closed only when 

the convening authority provides a Sexual Assault Disposition Report (SADR) to HQMC 

Judge Advocate Division.

2.4 Describe your progress in enhancing training for investigators of sexual 

violence. Include efforts to establish common criteria, core competencies, and 

measures of effectiveness, and to leverage training resources and expertise. 

To meet SVC requirements, Special Agents, Investigators, and prosecutors must attend 

advanced training in adult sexual assault, child physical and sexual abuse, and 

domestic violence. Requirements for the training are outlined in DODI 5505.18, 

“Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault in the Department of Defense,” and DODIG 

directive-type memorandum (DTM) 14-002. Training courses that meet these 

requirements include the Army’s Special Victims Unit Investigations Course (SVUIC) 

(for adult sexual assault investigations) and the NCIS Advanced Family and Sexual 

Violence Training Program (AFSVTP) (for the investigation of child crimes and domestic 

violence).

NCIS’ goal is to provide advanced training to all personnel who could potentially 

respond to, investigate, and/or supervise the investigation of SVC offenses. NCIS 

currently employs 1,050 Special Agents and Investigators, 161 of which are dedicated 

solely to the investigation of SVC crimes. Since August 2012, 101 of the 161 dedicated 

personnel and 197 of the non-dedicated personnel have attended the SVUIC—thus 

leaving a large percentage of Special Agents and Investigators untrained in the 

advanced course. NCIS continues to work with the Army to satisfy these training 

requirements and mitigate the restrictions brought about by the limited number of 

training courses conducted per year, as well as the limited number (8 to 10) of training 

seats per course available to MCIOs.

To address the issue, NCIS partnered with representatives from the USN Trial Counsel 

Assistance Program (TCAP) and developed an advanced adult sexual assault 

investigation course that not only meets new legislation and DOD training requirements, 

but also certifies investigators in conducting these types of investigations. At the end of 

FY 2014, NCIS offered two pilot courses of the Advanced Adult Sexual Assault 

Investigations Training Program (AASAITP) at FLETC and trained an additional 40 

NCIS Special Agents and Investigators and 8 USN/USMC prosecutors. At this time, 11 

iterations (264 seats) of the AASAITP are funded for FY 2015.

The NCIS AFSVTP training course meets the advanced training standard specified in 

DODIG DTM 14-0002 pertaining to the investigation of child crimes and 

domestic/intimate partner violence. To date, 113 Special Agents and Investigators have 

satisfied this training requirement. This two-week course will be offered twice in FY 

2015 (48 seats).

2.5 Describe your progress in developing joint doctrine for investigations to 

incorporate Service interoperability and command independence consistent with 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

121

authorities of MCIOs in the operational/institutional environment.

In investigations that cross services, the lead investigative MCIO is determined by the 

service of the subject or the service of the victim if a subject has not been identified. In 

situations where investigative resources are limited, NCIS works jointly with the Air 

Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) and the Army Criminal Investigation 

Command (CID) to ensure investigations are thorough and timely.

2.6 Describe your progress in sustaining the Defense Enterprise Working Group 

of Military Criminal Investigation Organizations and Defense Criminal 

Investigative Service to assess and validate joint investigative technology, best 

practices, and resource efficiencies benched against external law enforcement 

agencies.

Since the three MCIOs have the same DOD-mandated training requirements, NCIS 

partnered with the Army CID and the AFOSI to establish sexual assault working groups.

Through collaboration, the working groups identified joint training opportunities that 

have resulted in sharing resources, such as subject matter experts. 

The FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (title V, subtitle H, section 

571) requires all MCIOs to “establish special victim teams for the purpose of 

investigating allegations of child abuse, serious domestic violence, and sexual 

offenses.” Additionally, each MCIO must “prescribe standards for the training, selection, 

and certification of personnel assigned for the special victim teams.”

To meet NDAA directives, DODIG DTM 14-002, “The Establishment of SVC Within the 

MCIOs” required all MCIOs to develop “a distinct, recognizable group of appropriately 

trained investigators to investigate allegations of all designated SVC-covered offenses.”

SVC-covered offenses include allegations of adult sexual assault, domestic violence 

involving sexual assault and/or aggravated assault with grievous bodily harm, and child 

abuse involving sexual assault and/or grievous bodily harm. 

2.7 Describe your progress in assessing and coordinating with the United States 

Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL) to improve investigative 

support and facilitate evidence processing.

NCIS established a Forensic Consultant (FC) position in June 2014 at the Defense 

Forensic Science Laboratory (DFSL). The FC is assigned to the Forensic Analysis 

Division and prioritizes case submissions on behalf of NCIS. The FC works with the

DFSL staff to conduct a comprehensive assessment upon receipt of evidence. The FC

also inventories and inspects the evidence and then builds an examination strategy to 

ensure the most appropriate testing is conducted. This approach has helped eliminate 

backlogs and reduced turnaround time to less than 30 days from submission to 

completion of evidence analysis. 

The US Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) has partnered with USACIL to 

provide quality assurance feedback on Navy and Marine Corps Sexual Assault Forensic 

Examination (SAFE) kits processed by their facility. Unlike the civilian sector, USACIL 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

122

does not limit forensic samples submitted and USACIL is time-bound by the UCMJ to 

complete forensic evidence within the 120 day maximum for “speedy trial.” Their staff 

does a monumental job in completing evidence examinations within an average of 71–

77 days. For comparison, civilian facilities can take 150–160 days to process evidence. 

All Navy and Marine Corps SAFE kits submitted by Navy SAFE providers to USACIL 

undergo quality assurance review. Feedback results will be shared with the provider 

submitting forensic evidence and trends will be shared with all.

2.8 Describe your progress in ensuring that all sexual assault crimes are 

immediately reported to MCIOs to establish investigative oversight and 

coordination.

DODI 6495.02 states that “unit Commanders who receive an Unrestricted Report of 

sexual assault shall immediately refer the matter to the appropriate MCIO,” and DODI 

5505.18 requires the MCIO to initiate investigations of all offenses of adult sexual 

assault of which they become aware. Additionally, the instruction states “all Unrestricted 

Reports of sexual assault (and attempts) against adults will be immediately reported to 

the MCIO, regardless of the severity of the allegation.” NCIS continues to respond to all 

allegations of sexual assault upon notification. NCIS continues outreach initiatives, such 

as briefings, Crime Reduction Campaigns, and a Text-Tip anonymous hotline to 

increase awareness and encourage timely reporting. 

2.9 Describe your progress in ensuring prompt MCIO investigative notification to 

Commanders and SARCs concurrent with initiating an investigation of a sexual 

assault crime.

In accordance with DODI 5505.18 and the FY14 NDAA, the MCIO investigator assigned 

to an adult sexual assault investigation will ensure a SARC has been notified as soon 

as possible to ensure system accountability and victim access to services as needed. In 

instances where NCIS initiates an investigation, NCIS personnel notifies VAs and

SARCs within 24 hours and consults with all members within 48 hours.

2.10 Describe your continuing efforts to foster early coordination between 

investigators and judge advocates when initiating a sexual assault investigation. 

Upon receipt of a sexual assault report, ASAP teams will employ a surge response to 

complete the investigative activity in a timely manner, with the intent of providing more 

rapid delivery of the investigative package to the convening authority. The ASAP 

initiative also includes early engagement with legal and victim advocacy personnel. In 

instances where NCIS initiates an investigation, NCIS personnel notify prosecutors 

within 24 hours and consults with them within 48 hours.

2.11 For Unrestricted and Restricted Reports, describe your efforts to ensure 

sexual assault documentation (DD Forms 2910 and 2911) is retained for 50 years 

in accordance with Section 1723 of the NDAA for FY14. 

As required by NCIS policy, DD Form 2911 (DOD Sexual Assault Forensic Examination 

Report) is collected by NCIS investigative personnel following a victim’s examination by 

a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). The form is a required exhibit to the NCIS 

Report of Investigation, which by policy is retained for 50 years from the date the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

123

investigation is closed. NCIS does not collect these forms for Restricted reporting. Until 

new DODI policy is published, NCIS considers all Restricted reports as unsolved, 

therefore SAFE kits are retained indefinitely. Additionally, the DON requires 50-year 

retention of DD Form 2910/2911 until new DODI policy is published, changing this 

requirement from 5 years to 50 years. 

2.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

NCIS field offices have the responsibility to maintain collaborative relationships with law 

enforcement agencies within their area of responsibility. When investigations of sexual 

assault fall within the primary jurisdiction of a local law enforcement agency, NCIS may 

initiate a joint investigation or assist the agency with investigative leads as deemed 

appropriate. During the course of the investigation, NCIS remains engaged with local 

law enforcement counterparts and reports the progress of the investigation to 

command. This enables continued visibility and awareness in the event that civilian 

authorities defer prosecution to the military or civilian prosecutors decline the case and 

NCIS decides to pursue additional investigative leads.

2.13 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in the 

investigation of sexual assault.

NCIS launched the Staff Assistance Visit (SAV) Program to assess field performance 

and adherence to operational excellence, focusing on investigative quality, timeliness, 

and compliance with NCIS policy and standards. SAVs are initiated by the NCIS Deputy 

Director at his/her discretion. In addition, the Quality Assurance Visit Program is a 

program in which the NCIS geographic Executive Assistant Directors for Atlantic, 

Pacific, and Global Operations conduct regularly scheduled visits to field offices to 

assess investigative quality, timeliness, and compliance with NCIS policy and 

standards.

Additionally, in an effort to further professionalize and enhance the investigative 

capabilities of active-duty MAs, NCIS will commence a separate pilot program in FY15.

Twelve MAs selected from the fleet who have already attended the eight-week Military 

Police Investigator’s course will attend the same FLETC course of instruction as their 

reserve counterparts. Upon graduation, they will report for duty to NCIS field offices, 

where they will conduct criminal investigations under the auspices of the Special Agent 

in Charge. 

3. LOE 3—Accountability—The objective of accountability is to “achieve high 

competence in holding offenders appropriately accountable.”

3.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Accountability Endstate: “perpetrators 

are held appropriately accountable.”

During FY14, the legal community continued to implement and refine the 2012 CMCdirected legal reorganization to raise the quality and consistency of legal support across 

the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps has instituted a number of process improvements 

designed to formalize the higher standards for the practice of military justice. They 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

124

include new detailing and qualification standards, implementation of the Special Victim 

Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) directive memorandum, implementation of the 

FY14 NDAA and standardization of military justice processes. These improvements 

promote the proper detailing of counsel, the efficient handling of complex cases such as 

sexual assault to better hold offenders accountable.

Increased Counsel Qualification Standards

The Marine Corps recently increased the qualification standards for all judge advocates,

including Article 32 investigating officers, handling special victim cases. With few

exceptions, Article 32 investigating officers now must be field grade judge advocates 

that have experience handling special victim cases as a trial counsel or defense 

counsel. Additionally, detailing authorities must consider a number of factors when 

detailing counsel or investigating officers, including trial experience, education, training, 

and the individual characteristics of the case.

For special victim cases, the Marine Corps developed new guidance and qualification

criteria for detailing counsel. In FY14,the regional trial counsels (RTC) personally 

detailed all counsel and other trial support assets to all special victim cases.. Before 

being detailed by the RTC to a special victim case, the trial counsel must be special 

victim qualified. This qualification requires the trial counsel to meet certain standards 

including time as a trial counsel, experience, training, prior qualification as a general 

court-martial trial counsel, and previous experience as an assistant trial counsel on a 

contested special victim case. Once the trial counsel meets the standards to be 

qualified as special victim capable, the RTC and the Legal Services Support Section 

(LSSS) Officer in Charge (OIC) will review their background and experience and ensure 

they are confident in the counsel’s ability to work with victims of sexual assault and to 

prosecute special victim cases. In addition, trial counsel assigned to sexual assault 

cases are required to consult with civilian Highly Qualified Experts (HQE). HQEs are 

seasoned civilian prosecutors with significant experience in complex criminal litigation, 

to include successful trial-level work in sexual assault cases. Trial counsel must consult 

HQEs within10 days of receiving a sexual assault case to ensure all avenues of 

investigation are explored and that they begin to develop an overview of the trial 

strategy. With these new requirements and consistent field grade supervision, trial 

counsels are well-equipped to handle the increasing complexity of sexual assault cases. 

Implementation of DOD DTM 14-003, “DOD Implementation of Special Victim 

Capability (SVIP) Prosecution and Legal Support”

In February 2014, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness issued 

a DTM to establish policy for implementation of a Special Victim Investigation and 

Prosecution (SVIP) capability, across the DOD to provide a distinct, recognizable group 

of appropriately skilled personnel to investigate and prosecute covered offenses. The 

Marine Corps utilized the RTC/HQE supervisory model to implement this requirement. 

Implementation of the FY14 NDAA

The Fiscal Year 2014 NDAA included changes to nearly every stage of the military
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

125

justice process: changes to initial disposition decisions, limitations on the scope of

preliminary hearings under Article 32, review of non-referral decisions, establishment of

minimum sentences for certain sex offenses, and limitations on the scope of clemency

available for members convicted of crimes. The Marine Corps, as a member of the Joint

Service Committee on Military Justice, has been working closely with the other Services

to implement these significant changes through amendments to the Manual for CourtsMartial DOD, DON, and Marine Corps regulations, and practice advisories to the fleet. 

Additionally, the Marine Corps began a complete revision of the Manual for Legal 

Administration in order to implement and incorporate the authorities and developments 

from the Fiscal Year 2013 and 2014 NDAAs.

Standardized Forms

In FY14, the Marine Corps continued to standardized its trial services forms ensure all

reporting and requests for legal services are standardized regardless of where a Marine

serves. This standardization promotes consistency across the Service and reduces 

variances in information collected and reported and also minimizes the training time 

when Marines moves to a different region.

3.2 Describe your progress in implementing a special victims’ advocacy/counsel 

for victims. 

The Marine Corps VLCO was established on 1 November 2013 (and became fully 

operational on 1 January 2014) to provide legal advice and counseling to eligible victims 

of all crimes under the UCMJ, including sexual assault, throughout the length of the 

investigation and prosecution process. Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC) help safeguard 

and assert victims’ rights throughout the military justice process. To date, the VLCO:

• Assisted more than 750 crime victims.

• Established an enduring personnel structure now comprised of 15 active duty judge 

advocates, one senior paralegal, and 8 enlisted legal services specialists, plus 2 

Auxiliary VLC available to assist when needed.

• Received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the fleet.

• Helped Commanders across the Marine Corps to understand victims’ views with 

regard to disposition decisions, expedited transfers, and collateral misconduct, 

among other matters.

The VLCO mission is to protect victims’ rights at all stages of the military justice process 

by providing legal advice and, when detailed, representation to victims of sexual assault 

and other crimes. VLC safeguard and assert victims’ rights provided within the Manual 

for Courts-Martial, including the Military Rules of Evidence (MRE), Rules for CourtsMartial (RCM), and UCMJ. Since the decision by the Court of Appeals for the Armed 

Forces in L.R.M. v. Kastenberg (CAAF Jul 2013), victims have had the right to be heard 

“through counsel.” Among the rights VLC assert on behalf of their clients are:

1. Rights under Article 6b, UCMJ

2. Right to attend and be heard at legal proceedings per MRE 412, 513, or 514; 

3. Right to be present at all legal proceedings per MRE 615;
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

126

4. Right to provide “Victim’s View as to Disposition” of the case to the convening 

authority per RCM 306;

5. Right to confidential communication with victim advocate per MRE 514;

6. Right to receive copy of record of trial upon completion of the case per Article 54(e), 

UCMJ; and

7. Any other victim rights provided by law, regulation, or Service policy.

The Marine Corps expanded the eligibility for VLC assistance beyond victims of sexual 

assault to include victims of all crimes in violation of the UCMJ, as permitted by 10 USC 

§§ 1044, 1044e, and 1565b, including both adult and minor dependents. Additionally, 

eligible victims include those who file restricted reports or have not yet decided whether 

to file a report are entitled to VLCO services.

The Marine Corps set high standards for judge advocates selected for assignment to 

VLCO: they must have military justice experience, pass sensitive position screening, 

and complete a specialized VLC course offered by one of the Judge Advocate 

General’s schools. Ultimately, VLC are certified by the Judge Advocate General of the 

Navy per 10 U.S.C. § 1044e(c). 

VLC and the VLCO supervisory chain are autonomous from, and independent of, any 

other legal organization or chain of command within the Marine Corps. The SJA to CMC 

establishes and oversees the VLCO, while an OIC leads the VLCO and is responsible 

for the professional supervision of VLC and the delivery of victims' legal services. The 

initial personnel structure approved for the VLCO at initial operating capability was 15 

active duty Marine Corps judge advocates, supported by nine enlisted legal services 

specialists, plus four part-time active duty O-3 judge advocates as Auxiliary Victims’ 

Legal Counsel (AVLC). AVLC have a separate primary duty assignment and serve as 

VLC only when needed to handle conflict cases or high case volume. The Marine Corps 

added one reserve O-3 judge advocate who received one year orders to establish a 

VLCO office at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, NC. The service also 

added an Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) Detachment, VLCO Reserve 

Branch, which currently consists of one drilling reserve O-5 and one drilling reserve O-3, 

each supporting the VLCO up to 36 days per year. The Marine Corps has also hired 

one GS-11 Paralegal Specialist to support the VLCO headquarters element, taking the 

place of the previous enlisted legal services specialist. The eight remaining enlisted 

legal services specialists will be replaced by GS-9 paralegals in FY15. Finally, the 

VLCO has requested to hire four part-time HQEs, with one available to support each of 

the four VLCO regions. These HQEs will be experienced litigators to help train VLC and 

to advise VLC on case strategy.

Since establishment, the VLCO has provided numerous briefings to increase awareness 

of legal services available to victims. Between October 2013 and February 2014, the 

VLCO OIC traveled extensively across all Marine Corps regions to provide briefs about 

this program, including meeting with Commanders, SARCs, VAs, Family Advocacy 

Program (FAP) personnel, Victim-Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) personnel, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

127

military criminal investigators (such as NCIS and Marine Corps CID), and all Marine 

Corps judge advocates. On 24 January 2014, the VLCO OIC briefed all the Marine 

Corps three- and four-star generals at the Executive Officer Offsite (EOS) meeting in 

Arlington, VA. The VLCO Deputy OIC spoke at each of the TCAP training events, 

conducted at Camp Lejeune, NC, on 14 January 2014, and at Camp Pendleton, CA on 

4 February 2014, to educate trial counsel about the role of VLC. During the FY14 SJA to 

CMC Legal Community Training, 25-27 February 2014, the VLCO OIC briefed all the 

senior JAs, including Marine Corps military judges.

Since November 2013, the VLCO has also made use of media platforms to advertise 

available services. Information about VLCO has been included in monthly Marine Corps 

Public Affairs updates read by Commanders and others. Additionally, several military 

newspapers have featured articles about VLCO, including the Marine Corps Times, and 

base newspapers at Camp Lejeune, MCAS Beaufort, and MCB Quantico. Finally, the 

VLCO has a public website with essential information about the program and VLC 

contact information.

VLCO Training

Certification Training

All attorneys and paralegals assigned to VLCO attend specialized initial training at one 

of the Judge Advocate General’s Schools. The Air Force offers The Special Victims’ 

Counsel Course twice per year at Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, AL,. The Army 

Special Victims’ Counsel Course offered at The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center 

and School (TJAGLCS) in Charlottesville, VA, has been offered three times to date. 

Navy Justice School (NJS) has offered one similar course to date. All these courses 

include instruction in substantive military law, victim behavior, victim services, 

counseling techniques, and participation in practical scenario-driven exercises.

Legal Education

VLC attend additional specialized training offered by organizations outside the military 

as available. Some of the courses attended by VLC since 1 November 2013 are 

Preventing, Assessing, and Treating Child, Adolescent, and Adult Trauma offered by 

the Institute on Violence, Abuse and Trauma; Equal Justice for Children sponsored by 

the National District Attorneys Association; and the 2014 Crime Victim Law Conference 

sponsored by the National Crime Victim Law Institute.

Annual VLCO Training Event

The first annual VLCO-wide training event took place in August 2014. This event 

featured several classes by prominent victims’ legal rights experts, and provided an 

opportunity to share lessons learned and develop best practices.

See item 5.10 in LOE 5 for more information pertaining to the implementation of VLCO.

3.3 Describe your progress in ensuring those who are affiliated with the special 

victim capability program (paralegals, JAGs, Judges, special victim 

counsel/victim legal counsel, and victim-witness assistance personnel) receive 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

128

specialized SAPR training for responding to allegations of sexual assault. 

Enhanced Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution Training

The Marine Corps TCAP has overseen a large increase in training in the last three 

years. In FY14, TCAP offered two week-long courses focused on the prosecution of 

sexual assault cases as mandated in MARADMIN 610/13, attendance at which meets 

the training requirement to be awarded the qualification to prosecute special victim 

cases. The TCAP courses included training in building case theory, charging under 

Article 120, UCMJ, general trial advocacy skills, use of expert witnesses, victim support, 

and prosecutorial ethics. A mix of experienced experts provided the instruction, 

including senior judge advocates, district attorneys, and expert witnesses who 

frequently testify in sexual assault cases, such as computer forensic experts, forensic 

DNA analysts, toxicologists, and SANEs. To ensure that trial counsel better represent 

the victims’ interests when prosecuting cases, the Marine Corps also continued its 

partnership with the United States Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime 

(OVC). The OVC provided valuable financial support and information on current victims’ 

rights laws and trends.

Since 2011, the Marine Corps has significantly expanded the funding and approved 

courses available to assist trial counsel in understanding and prosecuting special victim 

cases from three courses available through NJS and TCAP, to over 20 courses 

available through NJS, TCAP, the National District Attorney’s Association, the 

Department of Justice, National Advocacy Center, the FLETC, and the Army and Air 

Force Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) schools. In these courses, trial counsel, trial 

administrative officers, legal services specialists, and regional trial investigators, focus 

on specific aspects of special victim cases, from working with victims to trial advocacy, 

understanding digital exploitation of children and child abuse, gathering and analyzing 

evidence, and partnering with victim advocates and agents from NCIS in investigating 

and prosecuting special victim cases. Marine Corps TCAP will continue to work with 

NCIS, our sister Services, the Department of Justice, and other national prosecution 

training organizations to provide the highest quality of training for our trial counsel 

working with special victim cases and other special victim capable partners. 

The Marine Corps Defense Services Organization (DSO), with the mission of delivering 

zealous, independent, and professional defense services to Marines and Sailors facing 

disciplinary action, oversees the Defense Counsel Assistance Program (DCAP). Since 

2011, DCAP has aggressively sought out and sent defense counsel to training courses 

designed to ensure DSO attorneys maintain the knowledge and experience necessary 

to provide successful representation despite sweeping changes in the manner the 

military prosecutes sexual assault cases when cases are referred to courts-martial. The 

DSO continues to attend service school training at NJS and the Army and Air Force 

JAG schools. The training from these service schools is bolstered by attendance at 

civilian training events sponsored by organizations such as the National Association for 

Criminal Defense Lawyers, Federal Public Defenders Association, Bronx Defenders 

Academy, National Criminal Defense College, and various other local and state public 

defender offerings. More specific training is provided through consultations with the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

129

Marine Corps criminal defense HQE. The Marine Corps DSO will continue to train its 

attorneys to the best extent possible, ensuring that Marine and Navy accused receive 

competent and effective representation. 

In addition to the nationally recognized training provided to Marine Corps trial and 

defense counsel, the Marine Corps implemented increased regional and local training 

standards by the regional and senior trial/defense counsel. As recorded in the updated 

Manual for Legal Administration, each regional supervisory counsel must provide for 

two days of training for all counsel within the region every quarter, and each senior 

supervisory trial or defense counsel must provide two one-day trainings each quarter. 

These trainings focus the counsel on how to leverage the additional special victim 

capabilities at their region and installation such as the family advocacy specialists, 

health care providers, child protective services, law enforcement officers, SARCs, VAs, 

and the local forensic testing facilities. They also instill the importance of ethical 

representation and the basic trial advocacy skills required for special victim cases. The 

below charts show both the number of counsel trained for special victim capabilities 

(including VLC) and the level of funding the Marine Corps has committed to train our 

trial counsel, defense counsel, and VLC (FY14 only) in handling these complex cases.

Victim Witness Assistance Personnel:

The Marine Corps provides special victim capability training to all of its regional and 

installation victim witness liaisons through an annual course. This course covers an in 

depth discussion of victims’ rights and how to ensure victims are provided needed 

services. The course has classes on working with victims, understanding services 

offered by SAPR as well as FAP, and enforcing victims’ rights. In addition to the annual 

course, each region has semi-annual meetings of all the Victim-Witness liaisons where 

they discuss and train on issues faced by that region as well as quarterly installation 

meetings to discuss and train on issues faced by that particular installation.

3.4 Describe your progress in ensuring that if a service member is convicted by 

court-martial or receives a non-judicial punishment or punitive administrative 

action for a sex-related offense, a notation to that effect shall be placed in the 

service personnel record.

The Manpower Management Special Duty Assignment section screens the Marine 

Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) for sex-related offenses. SAPR led an Operational 

Planning Team to develop requirements and policy that captured UCMJ articles for nonjudicial punishment and court martial entries concerning sexually-related misconduct. 

MARADMIN 416/14, published 22 August 2014, outlines the process for Commanders 

to identify and review the OMPFs of Marines with sexual misconduct convictions. Naval 

Justice Information System (NJIS) ALNAV 065/14 was released 18 August 2014 and is 

the long-term solution (two-year process) for this task.

3.5 Describe your progress to expand the availability, sequencing, and scope of 

Commanders’ legal courses (e.g., range of command legal authorities and 

options). Include how you are assessing course outcomes.

Training for Commanders and Marines

The Marine Corps legal community has increased training and education of Marines

regarding sexual assault to supplement broader SAPR programs. These legal efforts to

confront sexual assault include increased training of senior leaders, participation in

training of Marines, and increased communication concerning the results of courtsmartial for educational and deterrent effect.

Senior Leader Training

The Marine Corps provides formal and informal legal training for senior enlisted leaders,

Commanders, and General Officers. Formally, senior enlisted leaders are trained at the

Senior Enlisted Course and the Sergeant Major Symposium on Military Justice, which

includes an overview of the military justice process, the role of convening authorities in

that process, unique sexual assault requirements, legal pitfalls such as unlawful

command influence, and recent developments in military justice. Senior Commanders

are similarly trained in these areas in the weeklong Commanders Course, and the 

senior officer course through NJS and TJAGLCS. The Marine Corps recently increased 

the focus on legal accountability at the Commanders Course from one hour to four 

hours to help Commanders understand the nuances of sexual assault cases. All of 

these courses have been modified to increase the focus on sexual assault, including 

educating these leaders about sexual assault myths, victimology, updates to UCMJ 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

132

Article 120, and SAPR policies such as Sexual Assault Initial Disposition Authority (SAIDA) and SAPR 8-Day Briefs.

Legal Community Training

SJAs provide daily advice and informal training to the Commanders and senior enlisted 

they serve, keeping those Commanders apprised of continuing developments and 

advising them on military justice matters as issues arise in disciplinary cases. The SJA 

to CMC provides annual training to SJAs on updates in the law from the NDAA and 

other policy updates at the annual Legal Community Training. SJAs also receive 

instruction on emerging sexual assault tools and trends. This training ensures 

Commanders are provided the most accurate and up-to-date legal advice.

3.6 Describe your effort to ensure the withholding of initial disposition authority 

in certain sexual assault cases from all Commanders who do not possess at least 

Special Court Martial Convening Authority and who are not in the grade of O6 or 

higher.

Sexual Assault Initial Disposition Authority (SA-IDA) 

Grade requirements for convening authorities to dispose of sexual assaults have also

Increased. In April 2012, the SecDef withheld initial disposition authority (IDA) in sexual 

assault offenses (SA-IDA)—including penetration offenses, forcible sodomy, and 

attempts to commit those crimes—to the Colonel/special court-martial convening 

authority (SPCMCA) level. The CMC expanded SA-IDA to include all contact sex 

offenses, child sex offenses, and any attempts to commit those offenses. As a result, 

the Marine Corps now has a smaller group of more senior and experienced officers 

making disposition decisions for all sexual offense allegations and any related collateral 

misconduct. These requirements have been implemented in the Marine Corps in the 

Legal Administrative Manual. Commander’s courses and the Legal Community Training 

discuss the requirements with Commanders and SJAs. In addition, reports of 

dispositions of sexual assault cases are sent to Judge Advocate Division on the 

Secretary of Navy’s required SADR form, which lists the grade and name of the 

Commander making the disposition decision.

3.7 Describe your efforts to ensure SAPR first responder knowledge of MRE 514 

(Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege). 

Training for MRE 514 is included in the 40-hour Marine Corps victim advocacy training 

required for all SARCs and VAs.

In addition, SAPR first responders often work alongside VLC. Marine VLC protect 

victims’ rights at all stages of the military justice process by providing legal advice and, 

when detailed, representation to victims of sexual assault and other crimes. Among the 

rights VLC assert on behalf of their clients are:

1. Rights under Article 6b, UCMJ

2. Right to attend and be heard at legal proceedings per MRE 412, 513, or 514; 

3. Right to be present at all legal proceedings per MRE 615;

4. Right to provide “Victim’s View as to Disposition” of the case to the convening 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

133

authority per RCM 306;

5. Right to confidential communication with victim advocate per MRE 514;

6. Right to receive copy of record of trial upon completion of the case per Article 

54(e), UCMJ; and

7. Any other victim rights provided by law, regulation, or Service policy.

3.8 Describe any treatment or rehabilitation programs implemented by your for 

those members who have been convicted of a sexual assault. Include any 

pertinent referrals such as drug and alcohol counseling, or other types of 

counseling or intervention. 

There are no specific direct care programs that Navy Medicine maintains or has 

implemented specifically for members convicted of sexual assault. While convicted 

offenders are offered programs when incarcerated (if applicable) and several civilian 

programs are available as well, very few Navy providers have expertise in treatment for 

sex offenders.

3.9 NGB, describe how you are ensuring that all investigations are being referred 

to the NGB-JA/Office of Complex Investigations. 

N/A

3.10 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

For FY14: The Marine Corps organized external collaborators who presented at our 

Annual SAPR training which took place 19–21 August 2014 in Quantico, VA. This 

training was attended by all SARCs and SAPR VAs. 

− The Voices and Faces Project (Chicago) who presented “What We Can Learn 

From Sexual Violence Survivors”

− DOD Inspector General (Whistleblower Reprisal Investigations) who presented 

on “Assisting Victims with Reprisal”

− Mid-Shore Region for All Seasons Mental Health Clinic who presented on 

"Secondary Trauma"

− DOD SAPRO and RAINN who presented on the DOD Safe Helpline and 

HelpRoom

− “1in6” organization (Santa Barbara, CA) who presented on “Understanding Men 

Who Were Sexually Abused or Assaulted”

As discussed above, every RTC office in the Marine Corps is composed of a civilian 

HQE. By having the HQEs positioned within the regional LSSSs, the trial counsel have 

ready access to these specialists to help develop trial strategies and provide relevant 

feedback on a day-to-day basis. The prosecution HQEs have provided analysis and 

assisted with case strategy in over 150 sexual assault cases. The Response Systems to 

Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel (RSP) studied the effectiveness of this program and 

recommended the “SJA to the CMC continue to fund and expand programs that provide 

a permanent civilian presence in the training structure for both trial and defense 

counsel.” The RSP cited these HQEs as adding perspective, base-level experience, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

134

continuity, transparency, and validity to military counsel training programs.

In LSSS-West, the HQE has organized coordination meetings and training with local law 

enforcement agencies, district attorneys’ offices and the local sexual assault response 

team. These efforts have resulted in the development of SOPs concerning transfer of 

cases from local authorities to military authorities, transfer of SAFE exams to military 

installations, obtaining records from Child Protective Services, employed local 

resources to support child victims and witnesses in court-martials and provided insight 

to local prosecutors and law enforcement on unique military issues. 

3.11 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in 

holding offenders appropriately accountable.

The Marine Corps legal community will continue to lead the accountability line of effort 

in the fight against sexual assault. In the upcoming years, key initiatives will include

solidifying changes to law and policy through implementing regulations; evaluating and

executing recommendations from the RSP, JPP, and the MJRG; refining military justice 

management tools and processes; and ensuring the Marine Corps maintains the judge 

advocate structure required to support these developments. 

Under the leadership of the SJA to CMC, the legal community will use improved

management tools and processes to evaluate best practices, identify shortfalls in our

practice, and develop new standards for the legal community. Our forthcoming 

initiatives include increased standardization of sexual assault disposition processes and

development of training for Article 32 Preliminary Hearing Officers to ensure competent,

thorough, and fair evaluation of allegations under the new Article 32 rules. In FY15, the 

SJA to CMC will publish a completely revised Legal Services Administration Manual that 

sets standards, requires training to meet those standards, and further implements, the 

legal services inspection, to inspect to those standards. In addition, Judge Advocate 

Division will publish guidance and training for SJAs to help them understand the 

numerous policy and legislative changes affecting military justice and sexual assault 

response.

3.12 (Q3 from DOD Amendment to Data Call) Provide a response to the following 

data points regarding to the Special Victims Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) 

Capability:

• Percentage of SVIP cases preferred, compared to overall number of courts 

martial preferred in FY14

• Percentage of special victim offense courts-martial tried by, or with the 

direct advice and assistance of a specially trained prosecutor

• In FY14, 13.0% of all cases preferred were SAPR sexual assault cases. The 

Marine Corps preferred charges in 1,342 cases that went to either a general, 

special, or summary court-martial, and 175 of these cases were SAPR sexual 

assault cases.

• 100% of all SAPR sexual assaults were prosecuted by a specially trained 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

135

prosecutor. In accordance with paragraph 1204 of MCO P5800.16A, all lead trial 

counsel detailed to a special victim case, including all sexual assault cases, must 

be personally detailed by the regional trial counsel. Before detailing a trial 

counsel to a special victim case, the counsel must be qualified to try a special 

victim case. In order to qualify to try a special victim case, a trial counsel must 

be general court-martial qualified, and meet additional standards, including 

training, experience, and have previously tried a contested special victim case as 

an assistant trial counsel. The training requirement can only be met by attending 

an intermediate-level sexual assault course.

4. LOE 4—Advocacy/Victim Assistance—The objective of advocacy/victim 

assistance is to “deliver consistent and effective victim support, response, and 

reporting options.”

4.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Advocacy/Victim Assistance Endstate: 

“high quality services and support to instill confidence and trust, strengthen 

resilience, and inspire victims to report.” Include responsibilities established in 

DODI 6400.07, enclosure 2.

Throughout out FY14, the Marine Corps continued to refine its ability to deliver 

consistent and effective victim support, response, and reporting options through several 

measures, including the following: continued compliance with the DOD Sexual Assault 

Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP); further refinement and auditing of the 24/7 

Sexual Assault Helplines; sustainment of proper staffing requirements; continued use of 

the SAPR 8-Day Brief; and continued compliance with the standards of victim 

assistance personnel, as identified in DODI 6400.07, Enclosure 2.

SARC and VA training is designed to provide these SAPR personnel with a wide 

repertoire of knowledge, skills, and tools to successfully provide culturally sensitive, 

high-quality, and victim-centered response and care. From the time a victim of sexual 

assault contacts an advocate and chooses to file a report until the time the victim 

decides that services are no longer needed, Marine Corps SAPR advocates dedicate 

themselves to a process that is not only multifaceted but also requires an innovative and 

skillful ability to navigate effectively: building rapport with victims; lending a 

compassionate, nonjudgmental ear; performing nonclinical safety assessments; 

accurately informing victims of their options and carrying out their decisions; referring 

victims to and helping them access the desired medical, counseling, legal, investigative, 

and other services; accompanying them to appointments as requested; providing 

victims with case status updates; and staffing the 24/7 Installation Helplines.

4.2 Describe your progress in allowing Reserve Component Service members 

who are victims of sexual assault while on active duty to remain on active duty 

status to obtain the treatment and support afforded active duty members. 

Marine Corps Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) evaluates each sexual assault report to 

determine the needs of the victim. If a Reserve Component member reports being 

assaulted on active duty status for over 30 days, he or she is afforded the option to 

remain on active duty orders until services are no longer required under the Title 10 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

136

status, or the victim chooses to waive the Title 10 status. If a Reserve Component 

member waives his or her Title 10 status or has been on orders for less than 30 days, a 

Line of Duty (LOD) Determination is established that will allow for the victim to receive 

medical and mental health care while not on an active duty status.

While medical entitlements for Reserve Component members remain dependent on a 

Line of Duty (LOD) determination as to whether or not the sexual assault incident 

occurred in an active duty or inactive duty training status, this determination does not 

affect their eligibility to file a report or to receive SAPR support services. All SAPR 

program services are available to Reserve Component members who are sexually 

assaulted when performing active service and during inactive duty training. If they report 

a sexual assault that occurred prior to or while not performing active service or inactive 

training, they are still eligible to receive SAPR support services from a SARC and a 

SAPR VA and to file a restricted or unrestricted report.

If requested by the Reserve Component member, the command should allow for 

separate training on different weekends or times from the alleged offender or with a 

different unit in the home drilling location to ensure undue burden is not placed on the 

victim and his or her family by the transfer. Transfer of the alleged offender instead of 

the victim will also be considered.

In accordance with SECNAV 1770.3D and MCO 1770.2B, LOD determinations are 

processed and completed prior to the victim's change in duty status.

4.3 Describe your progress in ensuring that a member of the Reserve 

Components who is a victim of sexual assault by another member of the Reserve 

Components has timely access to a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. 

MCO 1752.5B applies equally to the Active and Reserve Forces. MARFORRES has a 

24/7 Sexual Assault Helpline that provides immediate telephonic crisis response to all 

active duty and reserve component Marines/Sailors assigned to the 162 Marine 

Reserve Sites throughout the United States including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. 

The Helpline is staffed by the MARFORRES SARC, the three major subordinate 

Command SARCs, and two civilian VAs located in New Orleans. All Reserve Sites are 

mandated to post the MARFORRES SAPR Helpline as well as the DOD SAFE Helpline 

throughout the common areas of their facilities. In addition, all Marine Corps Reserve 

Sites have at least one trained and appointed UVA assigned to the site to provide in 

person response to victims of sexual violence. The majority of Reserve Sites have 

multiple certified UVAs totaling 320 assigned throughout MARFORRES. All of the sites 

have memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with other SAPR military services and 

rape crisis centers in their localities establishing relationships for victims' services. 

Sexual assault victims can access SAPR services by calling the MARFORRES SAPR 

Helpline, contacting their unit's UVA directly, calling the DOD SAFE Helpline or notifying 

their chain of command. No matter how the report is received, a referral will be made to 

the local UVA to provide immediate in-person response. UVAs are required to answer 

all calls within 15 minutes and to respond in person within one hour of notification.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

137

4.4 List the total number of full-time SARC/SAPR VAs serving at brigade or 

equivalent level. If not at 100%, describe your efforts to achieve 100% fill. 

The Marine Corps continues to maintain full compliance with this NDAA requirement. As 

of December 2014, the current full-time Marine Corps SAPR workforce includes 48

SARCs and 20 SAPR VAs. In addition, the Marine Corps SAPR workforce also includes 

1,423 UVAs and 41 collateral-duty SARCs.

Due to the size and operational nature of the Marine Corps, VAs have been placed at 

the installation in general support of the operational forces. The number of VAs hired 

and their placement were determined by the size of the eligible population supported 

and the number of victims. Full-time SARCs were placed at the installation level, in 

general support of the operational forces, and at the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), 

Marine Division, Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Logistics Group, and select Military 

Occupational Special (MOS) schools. Placement of civilian full-time SARCs at these 

levels allowed the Marine Corps to further operationalize the SAPR program, while 

providing the best support to victims of sexual assault. Per Marine Corps Order, SARCs 

are required at the General Court-Martial Convening Authority (GCMCA) level and at 

every Marine Expeditionary Unit. O-6 level Commanders can appoint a collateral-duty 

SARC, but this is not a requirement.

A minimum of two UVAs are appointed to geographically remote units, schools, 

operational battalions, squadrons, and equivalent-sized commands, whether in garrison 

or deployed. MCRC ensures each recruiting region, Marine Corps District, and 

recruiting station appoints a minimum of one UVA. MARFORRES ensures each 

Inspector-Instructor or Site Support Staff on every MARFORRES site appoints a 

minimum of one UVA. Marine Corps Embassy Security Group ensures each region 

appoints a minimum of one UVA.

4.5 Describe what measures have been taken by your Service to ensure that 

Service members are informed in a timely manner of the member’s option to 

request a Military Protective Order (MPO) from the command of assignment. 

Include documentation that requires law enforcement agents to document MPOs 

in their investigative case files, to include documentation for Reserve Component 

personnel in Title 10 status.

All SAPR personnel and command team members are instructed to immediately 

perform a safety assessment whenever a sexual assault report is received. In addition, 

MCO 1752.5B mandates Commanders to issue an MPO, if applicable, and to provide

the victim with a copy of the signed MPO. The MPO will remain in effect until the 

Commander terminates the order or issues a replacement order. To help ensure its 

implementation, this requirement was also included in the SAPR 8-Day Brief, as well as 

in the forthcoming Sexual Assault Incident Response Oversight (SAIRO) Report, 

currently in development.

Regarding the documentation of MPOs by law enforcement, the following excerpt is 

provided in NCIS policy:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

138

NCIS personnel must respond in a timely manner to all reported sexual assault 

complaints, regardless of when or where the assault occurred. NCIS personnel should 

have initial face-to-face contact with the victim as soon as possible upon receipt of a 

complaint. If the victim desires, the VA should be present during the interview. 

Investigators should interview the victim prior to writing a Report of Investigation (ROI) 

(OPEN). Follow-up meetings with the victim can be arranged, at the victim's 

convenience, to obtain further details of the sexual assault incident. Due to external 

reporting requirements, the following must be contained within the ROI (OPEN): 

database checks, command notification, MPO issued or considered, SAFE exam 

conducted, crime scene conducted or pending, specific location, date, and time of the 

incident, alcohol involvement, VWAP pamphlet, and UCMJ offense.

4.6 Describe your efforts to establish processes for reviewing credentials, 

qualifications, and refresher training for victim-sensitive personnel positions.

Describe your Service’s process to address inappropriate behavior demonstrated 

by those in victim-sensitive personnel positions. Include process for revocation 

of certification if appropriate.

SARCs/VAs/UVAs

In order to maintain D-SAACP credentials, SAPR advocates must complete 32 hours of 

continuing education every two years. SARCs and many civilian VAs are able to 

complete this requirement at the Annual SAPR Training Event. UVAs are able to 

maintain their D-SAACP credentials through the Continuing Education Guidance and 

Course Catalog, which the Marine Corps assembled in June 2013 and maintains on the 

HQMC SAPR SharePoint site. This guidance features a list of accessible online courses 

that have been approved by HQMC SAPR and include content designed to hone the 

skills and knowledge of a UVA. In addition, this publication also contains quizzes that 

must be completed by the UVAs after they take each course; this enables SARCs to

gauge the progress and knowledge of each UVA, and the results must be submitted to 

D-SAACP as proof of completion of the credit hours. The Continuing Education 

Guidance and Course Catalog was recently updated in April 2014 to ensure that all 

courses listed were still available, relevant, and appropriate.

Marine Corps victim advocacy training emphasizes the Victim Advocate Code of 

Professional Ethics, which provides guidance on appropriate relationships and 

boundaries with clients, colleagues, other professionals, and the public. It states that the 

victim’s interests should be the top priority for all SAPR personnel, which includes the 

protection of the victim’s legal rights, civil rights, and privacy. In addition, SAPR 

personnel are expected to share knowledge and encourage proficiency and excellence 

in victim assistance among colleagues and allied professionals, as well as maintain high 

personal and professional standards in the capacity of a service provider and advocate 

for victims. The Marine Corps is dedicated to ensuring that these and all other criteria 

are met prior to SAPR personnel performing duties in order for all victims of sexual 

assault to receive proper care and support.

The Marine Corps process of credential revocation was established with the 

implementation of DSAID, and is initiated by Commander notification to HQMC SAPR 

via a revocation letter. The DSAID Program Manager at HQMC SAPR will ensure that 

the DSAID profile of the SARC/VA/UVA whose credentials are being revoked is 

inactivated. In addition, the Commander can also exercise the option to suspend the 

credentials of a SARC/VA/UVA pending the completion of an investigation. HQMC 

SAPR then notifies the National Organization for Victim Assistance of the revocation or 

suspension, and maintains copies of all revocation and suspension letters.

Medical Personnel (Navy Medicine)

Per BUMEDINST 6310.11, Enclosure 8, paragraph 4, annual sustainment training will 

be completed using primary and secondary DVDs, Sexual Assault Forensics and 

Clinical Management: A Virtual Practicum and Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations in 

Navy Medicine. Health care providers without pelvic or genitalia examination 

competency or privileging will complete the standard Navy Medical Sexual Assault 

Forensic Examination Competency Assessment (NAVMED 6310/7) annually and 

complete sustainment training requirements. Training compliance is tracked in Fleet 

Training Management & Planning System.

Navy Medicine currently credentials and privileges providers every two years in 

accordance with joint commission medical staff standards. Additionally, clinical support 

staff nurses are credentialed at each new duty station and at two year intervals. 

Personnel who do not meet the standard requirements are not authorized to perform 

SAFE examinations as directed by higher authority.

4.7 Describe your progress in ensuring all SARC and SAPR VAs are D-SAACP 

certified prior to performing the duties of a SARC and SAPR VA. 

Both DODI 6495.02 and MCO 1752.5B require that all SAPR personnel in the field 

obtain credentialing through D-SAACP. The Marine Corps enhanced its advocacy 

training curriculum to include the prerequisite 40 hours of victim advocacy training. In 

2011, the Marine Corps received approval by the National Advocacy Credentialing 

Program to develop victim advocacy training for SARCs, UVAs, and civilian VAs. In 

June 2012, the Marine Corps implemented its new training, initially for SARCs at the 

first Marine Corps-sponsored SAPR Annual Training Event. The SARCs then executed 

this training requirement for the UVAs. As a result, the Marine Corps was able to satisfy 

its requirement to have 100% of SAPR personnel in the field credentialed by October 

2013. In order to maintain D-SAACP credentials, SAPR advocates must complete 32 

hours of continuing education every two years. The SAPR Annual Training Event, 

mandatory for all SARCs and SAPR VAs fulfills the continuing education requirement, 

ensuring that these SAPR personnel receive up-to-date training to satisfy the continuing 

education requirement.

In addition, Commanders are intimately involved in the credentialing process and have 

the authority to revoke or suspend credentials as appropriate. Prior to D-SAACP 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

140

certification, the Commander initiates a Local Records Check, which provides more 

immediate insight into the SARC/UVA/VA candidate’s recent behavior. This process is 

designed to supplement the D-SAACP requirement for a National Agency Check, which 

can be up to nine years old.

4.8 Describe your continued efforts to ensure that the 24/7 DOD Safe Helpline has 

accurate contact information for on-base SAPR resources (i.e., Chaplains, 

SARCs, Military Police, Medical Personnel).

HQMC SAPR continues to conduct monthly audits of all 24/7 Sexual Assault Helplines, 

measuring response proficiency of SARCs, civilian VAs, and UVAs responsible for 

answering inquiries and providing information pertinent to victim options and resources. 

In addition, as part of the DOD Safe Helpline Database, the 24/7 Sexual Assault 

Helplines, along with other contact phone numbers for other responders, such as 

PMOs, Chaplains, and medical personnel, are subject to biannual audits conducted by 

RAINN. These audits are conducted for all Service branches. The Marine Corps has 

scored above average, consistently reaching a 100 percent success rate during these 

audits.

In addition, the Marine Corps published an Letter of Instruction (LOI) on Implementing 

24/7 Sexual Assault Helplines on 14 July 2014 and the accompanying MARADMIN 

428/14: Response Standards for 24/Hour, 7-Day-A-Week on 26 August 2014. The 

primary change in protocol pertained to the implementation of the DSTRESS Line as a 

brick-and-mortar back-up to the 24/7 Helplines, and the necessary warm hand-off 

procedures. The LOI directs that DSTRESS personnel, after receiving a forwarded call, 

will make two attempts to connect the caller back to the appropriate installation SAPR 

program using that installation’s 24/7 Sexual Assault Helpline number. If DSTRESS 

personnel cannot connect the caller to the installation SAPR program after two 

attempts, DSTRESS personnel, with the caller’s consent, shall conduct a warm handoff 

to a civilian rape crisis center.

4.9 Describe your efforts to publicize various SAPR resources, such as DOD Safe 

Helpline, to all Service Members. 

MCO 1752.5B mandates information about victim support services, points of contact, 

and resources be made available in the unit’s or command’s common area and areas of 

high pedestrian traffic. This includes posters that display the photograph of the SARC or 

UVA, the installation’s 24/7 helpline, the DOD Safe Helpline, and reporting options. A 

copy of the command’s policy statement on sexual assault awareness and prevention 

must also be posted throughout the command’s common areas. In addition, all official 

command and installation websites include the 24/7 helpline phone number on their 

homepage and link to reporting information and resources.

In an effort to supplement these efforts, maintain transparency, and keep the lines of 

communication open with the fleet, HQMC SAPR has developed an internal 

communication strategy that includes a SAPR Roadshow, a SAPR Monthly Snapshot 

document, and a social media campaign. The SAPR Monthly Snapshot is a document 

distributed throughout the Corps that aims to give Marines awareness of efforts in 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

141

responding to and preventing sexual assault. Recently been recognized by the 

Government Accountability Office as a best practice, the SAPR Monthly Snapshot 

covers topics such as data trends, demographics, and new initiatives related to sexual 

assault.

The HQMC SAPR launched its social media strategy in October 2014. Up to two social 

media posts or events are planned for each month and will encompass a range of topics 

with messaging about prevention, response/victim care, investigations, accountability, 

and assessment. The first post on Facebook and Twitter implemented October 2014 

was about the DOD Safe Helpline. For the following November, the social media post 

highlighted the first annual DOD Sexual Assault Prevention Innovation Award, given to 

Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools (MCCSSS) for its innovative, cyclical 

approach to preventing sexual assault that involves an intensive SAPR awareness 

campaign and a full-day SAPR class that every single entry-level student must take and 

pass. Future posts will focus on new training initiatives, such as “Step Up” for junior 

Marines, and reporting for male victims.

4.10 Describe your progress in ensuring victims are afforded their legal rights, 

protections, and services.

The Marine Corps established its VLCO in November 2013, with the mission to protect 

victims’ rights at all stages of the military justice process by providing legal advice and, 

when detailed, representation to victims of sexual assault and other crimes. The VLC 

safeguards victims’ rights provided within the Manual for Courts-Martial, including the 

MRE, RCM, and UCMJ. Since the decision by the Court of Appeals for the Armed 

Forces in L.R.M. v. Kastenberg (CAAF Jul 2013), victims have had the right to be heard 

“through counsel.”

4.11 Describe your progress to improve the victim care services at Joint Bases, in 

Joint Environments, and for the Reserve Components.

Mechanisms to review and assess SAPR program within Joint Environments are in 

development. Marine Corps efforts to synchronize SAPR program with larger Joint 

Force include alignment of the CMC’s SAPR Campaign Plan with the DOD SAPR 

Strategic Plan; incorporation of all DOD Directives and Instructions into Marine Corps 

Orders and policy; and compliance with all SecDef memoranda.

The MARFORRES SAPR program provides consistent care and referrals to all Marines 

and Sailors, regardless of duty status. A Marine is a Marine. Available medical and 

investigative services vary depending on duty status; however, SAPR services are 

always available. In addition to the required curriculum included in the standard 40 hour 

Initial UVA Training, MARFORRES UVAs are also instructed on how to create 

professional relationships with civilian services near the standalone Reserve Sites.

Because many Reserve Marines do not reside in close proximity to their home training 

centers, the MARFORRES UVAs are trained to seek services near and far. When 

appropriate, relationships are formalized with MOUs.

4.12 Describe your progress in strengthening participation in an integrated victim 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

142

services network of care.

Comprehensive Care Initiative

The Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), M9 (Wounded, Ill and Injured), 

Behavioral Health, and Marine Corps Health Services (HS) established a 

comprehensive system of psychological health care for Marines, attached Sailors and 

their families, from education and prevention, through all levels of care, including 

aftercare and/or continuing care. In addition, sexual assault patients receive priority in 

the emergency room for trauma focused sexual assault forensic exams as well as victim 

recovery services available through our mental health departments. This MOU clarified 

the full continuum of care between BUMED, HS, and USMC, ensuring that all 

commands understand that there is no wrong door for referring individuals to care. It 

outlined a comprehensive system of care, reduced redundancies/gaps, and developed 

a seamless coordinated case management protocol for individuals seeking help.

Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTs)

SARTs provide a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach, and victim-centered response 

to address sexual assault. SARTs are chaired by the Installation SARC and include, at 

a minimum, representation from the following agencies/personnel: NCIS, PMO/Marine 

Corps Police Department, VA, SJA/trial counsel, a mental health services 

representative, behavioral health representative (if available), and a sexual assault 

forensic examiner.

4.13 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian victim response 

organizations to improve interoperability.

Medical 

All Navy Medicine 24/7 emergency rooms, which provide medical services to the Marine 

Corps, maintain sexual assault response capabilities in accordance with DODI 6495.02 

and the NDAAs. However, some remote facilities and other claimancies have 

established MOUs/memorandums of agreement (MOAs) with local civilian hospitals 

where resources are better positioned for victim care services after hours or when inhouse care is impractical.

DSTRESS Line

The Marine Corps continues to utilize the DSTRESS Line as the default backup line to 

the 19 Marine Corps installation SAPR 24/7 Helplines. Installation cell phones are 

programmed to forward calls that are not answered after five rings to DSTRESS. While 

DSTRESS staff do not assume the role of Marine Corps VA, they provide support and 

crisis intervention until a warm handoff is made to the 24/7 helpline or the local Sexual 

Assault Crisis Center. DSTRESS Line Personnel are Behavioral Health Counselors 

who, among other requirements, must hold a current state license to practice 

independently as a clinical social worker, licensed marriage and family therapist, 

licensed professional counselor, licensed mental health counselor, or clinical 

psychologist.

4.14 Provide an assessment of the implementation of your expedited victim 

transfer request policy. Include measures taken to ensure victims are informed in 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

143

a timely manner of their right to request an expedited transfer, and challenges to 

the implementation of the policy. Documentation should be included as an 

appendix.

The Marine Corps expedited transfer policy was released on 28 February 2012 via an

LOI. Victim advocates inform victims, at the time they elect to file an unrestricted report 

of sexual assault or as soon as practicable, of their option to request a temporary or 

permanent transfer from their assigned command or base, or to a different location 

within their assigned command or base. Marines requesting a transfer must submit a 

signed and dated written request to their Commander, who must approve or disapprove 

the request within 72 hours. If the request is disapproved, the victim is given the 

opportunity to request a review by the first General Officer/Flag Officer in the chain of 

command, who is also given 72 hours to approve or disapprove the request. Separate

from the expedited transfer process, MARADMIN 031/14, which was released in 

January 2014, also enables Commanders to transfer the accused, vice the victim.

To help ensure that victims are informed of their right to request an expedited transfer, 

this requirement is included in the SAPR 8-Day Brief, a tool used by Commanders to 

standardize victim response and care. A copy of the SAPR 8-Day is provided in 

Appendix A. The SAPR 8-Day Brief provided the basis for the forthcoming SAIRO 

Report, a similar oversight mechanism that will be implemented for use across the 

entire DOD. 

4.14.1 Pertaining to temporary and/or permanent unit/duty expedited transfers 

(does NOT involve a PCS), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

Of the 55 expedited transfer requests made in FY14, 16 were for a Permanent Change 

of Assignment (PCA) (i.e., a different location within their assigned command or 

installation). None of the 16 requests were denied and all orders were generated within 

three days of the request.

4.14.2 Pertaining to permanent requested installation expedited transfers (does 

involve a PCS move), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

Of the 55 expedited transfer requests made in FY14, 39 were for a Permanent Change 

of Station (PCS) (i.e., a transfer from their assigned command or installation). None of 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

144

the 39 requests were denied and all orders were generated within three days of the 

request.

4.15 Describe your efforts to implement and enhance first responder training (e.g. 

sexual assault health care providers).

DOD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (D-SAACP)

DODI 6495.02 requires that all SAPR personnel in the field obtain credentialing through 

D-SAACP. The Marine Corps thus enhanced its advocacy training curriculum to include 

the prerequisite 40 hours of victim advocacy training. In 2011, the Marine Corps 

received approval by the National Advocacy Credentialing Program to develop victim 

advocacy training for SARCs, UVAs, and civilian VAs. In June 2012, the Marine Corps 

implemented its new training, initially for SARCs at the first Marine Corps-sponsored 

Annual SAPR Training Event (described below). The SARCs then executed this training 

requirement for the UVAs. As a result, the Marine Corps was able to satisfy its 

requirement to have 100% of SAPR personnel in the field credentialed by October 

2013. 

In order to maintain D-SAACP credentials, SAPR advocates must complete 32 hours of 

continuing education every two years. SARCs and many civilian VAs are able to 

complete this requirement at the Annual SAPR Training Event. UVAs are able to 

maintain their D-SAACP credentials through the Continuing Education Guidance and 

Course Catalog, which the Marine Corps assembled in June 2013. This guidance 

features a list of accessible online courses that have been approved by HQMC SAPR 

and include content designed to hone the skills and knowledge of a UVA. In addition, 

this publication also contains quizzes that must be completed by the UVAs after they 

take each course; this enables SARCs to gauge the progress and knowledge of each 

UVA, and the results must be submitted to D-SAACP as proof of completion of the 

credit hours. The Continuing Education Guidance and Course Catalog was recently 

updated in April 2014 to ensure that all courses listed were still available, relevant, and 

appropriate.

SAPR Annual Training Event 

The SAPR Annual Training Event is a week-long event that includes external speakers 

who provide lectures and presentations all designed to keep SARCs and VAs up to date 

not only on Marine Corps policy but also on the current research in the field. These 

events help to ensure the consistency and continuity of the SAPR mission and vision 

and also enable our personnel to receive current training to refine their abilities to 

provide quality victim supportive services. The most recent SAPR Annual Training 

Event was held in August 2014 and featured lectures on the following topics:

− DOD Initiatives

− Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID)

− Functional Area Checklist 963, used in inspections by the Inspector General of 

the Marine Corps (IGMC)

− From the Inside: What We Can Learn from Sexual Violence Survivors

− Assisting Victims with Reprisal

− Behavioral Health Initiatives

− Ethical Discussion Groups Preview

− Working with Victims of Sexual Assault

− Case Management Groups

− Judicial Proceedings

− Legal Services Support Section

− Understanding Men Who Were Sexual Abused or Assaulted

− Stop and Breathe!

SAFE Providers (Navy Medicine)

Through the BUMED office of the Sexual Assault Medical Program Manager SAFE 

providers (and other SAPR stakeholders) receive published SAFE program updates 

with topics germane to the practice of the sexual assault forensic exam. Moreover, Navy 

Medicine Professional Development Center hosts a bimonthly SAFE Webinar online 

training series which also can be claimed for continuing education credits. Topics 

covered for FY14 include forensic toxicology provided by the Armed Forces Medical 

Examiner Office; Tips for Testifying provided by the Office of the Judge Advocate 

General; Forensic Science Issues provided by USACIL.

Seeking Safety Model (Behavioral Health)

HQMC Behavioral Health has implemented an evidence-based informed intervention for 

trauma victims. The Seeking Safety model helps victims of trauma with the process of 

learning coping skills, accessing those skills when appropriate and building a support 

network of personal and community resources all of which can prove to be helpful for 

individuals with a history of trauma. Eighty Community Counseling Program (CCP), 

SAP, and FAP counselors are trained in the use of the Seeking Safety model. Marines 

can access this service by self-referring to CCP, SAP, or FAP Seeking Safety is an 

evidence based model of treatment originally developed as a group treatment for PTSD 

and Substance Use Disorder in women. Research shows there is a correlation between 

trauma and substance abuse. Seeking Safety is the most studied treatment for PTSDsubstance abuse. Numerous studies are completed all evidencing positive results

across multiple domains. Study populations include veterans (both men and women), 

homeless, women, adolescents, and community populations. Treatment focuses on 

stabilization rather than trauma processing or building resilience.

4.16 List the number of victims, if any, whose care was hindered due to lack of 

Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) kits or timely access to appropriate 

laboratory testing resources and describe the measure you took to remedy the 

situation.

None identified.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

4.17 Provide the following information about coverage for Sexual Assault 

Forensic Examinations for all Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs):

• A list of MTFs with the number and hours of emergency room coverage

• The number of full-time Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) 

assigned at each MTF under your respective jurisdiction that operates an 

emergency room 24 hours per day

• A list of the number of qualified SAFE examiners by MTF, listed separately 

by employees and contractors, if any

• The number and types of providers (i.e. registered nurse, advanced 

practice registered nurse, medical doctor, physician assistant, 

independent duty corpsman)

• The dates of Service-certification to perform these exams (and/or national 

certification date) by provider

• The number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) assigned for sexual assault 

examiner response per facility and the types of providers assigned to 

those FTEs 

• A listing of all MOU/MOA to provide SAFE services, with the location, 

distance from the facility, and execution and termination dates for each 

agreement 

• How many SAFE kits were processed and results used to inform command 

action

See Appendix B.

4.18 Provide information about any problems or challenges that have been 

encountered with MTFs during the previous year and the actions taken to 

improve the program or services.

To address challenges in accessibility and to improve services, MTFs around the globe 

have trained a total of 400 Navy MTF SAFE providers. Our Fleet and Expeditionary 

Forces can state that an additional 535 SAFE-trained providers stand ready to meet the 

SAPR mission. Training for these 935 personnel included 14.5 hours of standardized 

DVD teaching. This interactive DVD training was mapped against the Department of 

Justice National Protocol for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination and helps 

ensure that all providers receive an industry-standard quality training product. Program 

managers at the regional and MTF level are actively engaged in sustaining proficient, 

confident, caring SAFE providers to meet the needs of victims of sexual assault 24/7. In 

addition, gender-based sensitivity lectures are included in SAFE orientation classes at 

MTFs in Navy Medicine West and Navy Medicine East (efforts to standardize this 

practice for all MTFs are being reviewed).

The creation, implementation, and testing of victim care protocols (VCP) at 96 of 97 

SAFE-capable MTFs have been achieved through regional program efforts. VCPs 

ensure standardized and coordinated SAPR/SAFE responses to victims of sexual 

assault. 

MTFs work to have both male and female SAFE providers available to perform exams, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

147

as well as having both sexes available as assistants for the exams if needed.

4.19 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective victim 

support, response, and reporting options.

Improving upon our existing victim response services remains one of the top priorities of 

the Marine Corps SAPR program. Doing so would ensure that more victims get the help 

they need and stay engaged in the process, which will also lead to more offenders 

being held accountable. As a continued high rate of reporting is anticipated, the Marine 

Corps will work to ensure that its responders are appropriately trained and prepared to 

take action. In FY15, the Marine Corps will continue to implement those tasks outlined 

in the SAPR Campaign Plan Addendum, which includes the evaluation of supportive 

SAPR services available for Marines, recruits, and members of the DEP who disclose 

they were prior victims of sexual assault to identify potential gaps in services. In 

addition, the Marine Corps is working toward ensuring services for victims in transition. 

This entails the sustainment of victim response capabilities when victims transfer, 

deploy, or end active service. Other ongoing initiatives include:

Regional SAFE Trainers (Navy Medicine)

BUMED 6310.11 outlines standardized process for training and recertifying sexual 

assault forensic examiners that meets the Department of Justice protocol, thereby 

ensuring a basic level of competency available at all of our SAFE capable facilities. 

Moreover, to improve upon the capacity and state of the art SAFE capabilities in the 

enterprise, a SAFE trainer has been established at both of the Navy Medicine Regions 

(East and West) whose sole responsibility is to provide up to date lectures and handson training to SAFE providers across Navy Medicine. Through coordination with OPNAV 

and other echelon II commands, Navy Medicine continues to explore ways on improving 

HIPAA compliance, privacy in reporting, and the requirements of reporting medical 

outcomes. 

Behavioral Health Quality Assurance Team

Behavioral Health programs maintain a state of continual readiness crucial to supporting 

Marine Corps SAPR efforts. HQMC Behavioral Health recently deployed a Quality 

Assurance Team whose mission is to ensure all Behavioral Health programs are 

functioning at peak level by facilitating a three-tiered accreditation approach. The 

approach ensures services are evidence-based, compliant with policies and 

procedures, and create conditions that promote wellness and optimal functioning. The 

Quality Assurance Team works quickly with programs to identify and correct 

deficiencies and to implement best practices across all installations.

High-Risk Response Teams

Policy for High-Risk Response Teams is being developed for the purpose of assessing 

sexual assault cases with a high likelihood of danger or violence. Chaired by the victim’s 

Commander when activated, the team will consist of the suspect’s Commander, SARC, 

VA, MCIO, JA, VWAP, healthcare provider, and mental health/counseling services 

provider. The forthcoming LOI will provide guidance on the evaluation of several factors, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

148

including the victim’s safety concerns; the suspect’s access to the victim; whether the 

suspect (or the suspect’s friends or family members) has destroyed victim’s property or

threatened or attacked the victim; etc.

Victim Assistance Response Kit (VARK)

After intensive review of civilian best practices, DOD SAPRO implemented VARKs, 

which are designed to help restore dignity to victims by providing them with new clothes, 

toiletry items, and food to provide comfort immediately following the completion of a 

SAFE.

4.20 (Q4 from DOD Amendment to Data Call) Provide status of developing and 

implementation of regulation that prohibits retaliation against a victim or other 

member of the Armed Forces who reports a criminal offense in accordance with 

Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense Authorization Act. Include measures to ensure 

Service members receive education and training pertaining to reprisal prevention 

and detections; policies and procedures for filing a complaint of retaliation.

The Marine Corps continues to strengthen its ability to reduce and mitigate the effects of 

retaliation, both professional and social, and has updated its policies and training 

initiatives to reinforce these ongoing efforts.

Policy

Retaliation against crime victims is explicitly prohibited in both Department of the Navy 

(DON) and Marine Corps policy. All Navy (ALNAV) message 030-14, released 25 April 

2014, states that the prohibition of retaliation against alleged victims “constitutes a 

lawful general order, is punitive, and is applicable to all DON personnel without further 

implementation.”

In addition, Marine Corps Order (MCO) 1752.5B, published 1 March 2013, specifically 

addresses retaliation, stating that it is the Commander's responsibility under the SAPR 

program to:

− “protect victims of sexual assault from coercion, retaliation, and reprisal”;

− “establish standard operating procedures for SAPR functions within the 

command and to protect the SARC and UVA from coercion, discrimination, or 

reprisal related to execution of SAPR duties and responsibilities”; and

− “foster a command environment that encourages reporting of sexual assaults 

without fear of reprisal.”

To ensure compliance with these policies and to measure overall SAPR program 

effectiveness, the IGMC conducts “regular and no-notice inspections” with the use of an 

extensive Functional Area Checklist (FAC) developed by HQMC SAPR. Included in the 

FAC is the requirement for each command to have an SOP that establishes formal 

SAPR procedures and protocols, specific to the command location and structure, for the 

execution of the SAPR program, which, at a minimum, shall:

− Localize procedures;
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

149

− Identify local resources;

− Ensure protection of the UVA/VA/SARC from coercion, discrimination, reprisal;

− Ensure victim protection from reprisal; and

− Implement commander's protocols (specific to the commands location).

Training

All DON military and civilian personnel are required to complete biennial training on the 

Notification and Federal Employees Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act (No FEAR 

Act) of 2002. This training provides information about the rights and remedies available 

under Antidiscrimination and Whistleblower Protection Laws applicable to them.

Specifically, the training provides an overview of the No FEAR Act, the EEO 

Discrimination Complaint Process (including who to contact to file a complaint), the 

Whistleblower Protection Act, and freedom from reprisal, which covers the elements of 

a reprisal claim, elements of proof for whistleblower reprisal, opposition to discriminatory 

practice, participation in the EEO process, and disciplinary actions. All Marines must 

also complete annual Equal Opportunity training, which also covers retaliation and the 

complaint process for retaliation. 

In addition, Marine Corps SAPR training is currently being enhanced to include more 

information pertaining to reprisal prevention and detections, as well as policies and 

procedures for filing a complaint of retaliation. Currently, training for prospective 

Commanders and Senior Enlisted Leaders is designed to ensure that they understand 

the risks and circumstances associated with sexual assault incidence, including 

retaliation, and the proactive measures to these and other destructive behaviors.

4.21 (Q3 from DOD Amendment to Data Call) Provide a response to the following 

data points regarding to the Special Victims Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) 

Capability:

• Compliance with DoD Victim/Witness Assistance Program (VWAP)

reporting requirements to ensure victims are consulted with and regularly 

updated by SVIP legal personnel

• Percentage of specially trained prosecutors and other legal support 

personnel having received additional and advanced training in SVIP topical 

areas

• The DoD VWAP Instruction is implemented by the Marine Corps through Marine 

Corps Order (MCO) 5800.14 and Article 6b, UCMJ. Marine Corps trial counsel 

are specifically tasked in MCO 5800.16A to ensure all victims and witnesses are 

provided timely and appropriate information, notifications, and consultations in 

accordance with Article 6b, UCMJ and the Victim Witness Assistance Program, 

MCO 5800.14. Additionally, in Practice Advisory 4-14, the SJA to CMC 

specifically directed trial counsel to provide victims’ legal counsel with specific 

disclosures through the trial process including (1) a copy of all statements by the 

victim; (2) the date, time and location of any pretrial confinement review hearing; 

(3) a copy of the preferred charge sheet; (4) the date, time, and location of a 

preliminary hearing pursuant to Article 32; (5) a copy of the victim’s testimony at 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military:

the preliminary hearing; (6) a copy of the referred charge sheet; (7) the approved 

trial schedule by the military judge; (8) a copy of any motions or other filings 

where the victim has a right to be heard or otherwise affecting the victim’s 

possessory rights; (9) notice of any pretrial agreement and an opportunity to 

express the victim’s views regarding the proposed terms; and (10) a copy of any 

approved pretrial agreement.

These orders and the practice advisory ensure that victims are provided all 

applicable notices under the DOD VWAP Instruction.

• 100%. As discussed above, in order to be qualified as a special victim 

prosecutor, a trial counsel must complete an intermediate level sexual assault 

prosecution course. This is a requirement per paragraph 1203 of MCO 

P5800.16A. 

Additionally, each Regional Trial Counsel Office in the Marine Corps has two 

regional trial counsel investigator billets and one paralegal billet. The Marine 

Corps requires that individuals assigned in one of these jobs attend a specialized 

sexual assault training course within six months of assuming the billet. 

Presently, all the regional trial investigators within the Marine Corps have 

received specialized training in a special victim training course. Due to the 

paralegal program being recently created in 2012, and the requirement for a four 

year bachelor’s degree, the Marine Corps has not yet graduated and assigned 

any paralegals to these billets.

5. LOE—Assessment—The objective of assessment is to “effectively standardize, 

measure, analyze, assess, and report program progress.”

5.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Assessment Endstate: “responsive, 

meaningful, and accurate systems of measurement and evaluation into every 

aspect of the SAPR program.”

The Marine Corps continues to utilize and develop various mechanisms for data 

collection, analysis, and assessment that assists Commanders, SARCs, service 

providers, investigators, and judge advocates in evaluating and improving program and 

service efficacy. Specific initiatives include:

− Continued use and refinement of the SAPR 8-Day Brief

− Continued use of the DEOMI Organizational Climate Survey and the CMC 

Command Climate Survey

− Development and implementation of the Survivor Experience Survey (SES)

− Regular inspections and helpline audits at the installation level

These and other efforts provide the Marine Corps with the clarity needed to pinpoint the 

problem areas and to effectively focus future efforts.

5.2 Describe your oversight activities that assess the SAPR program 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

151

effectiveness. Include frequency, methods used, findings and recommendations, 

corrective action taken (e.g., program management review and Inspector General 

inspections), and other activities. 

The Marine Corps implemented the CMC Command Climate Survey in July 2013 as a 

supplemental survey to the existing DEOMI Organizational Climate Survey. According 

to the results of the CMC Command Climate Survey compiled between July 2013 and 

May 2014, Marines agreed most with the following five statements pertaining to 

command climate:

1. Leaders/supervisors in my unit have made it clear that sexual assault is 

criminally unacceptable behavior.

2. Leaders/supervisors in my unit have set a command climate wherein sexual 

harassment is not tolerated.

3. My unit provides a safe environment against sexual assault.

4. My unit would take appropriate action in the case of a hazing allegation.

5. My unit provides a retaliation-free environment for those who report misconduct 

(e.g., sexual assault, sexual harassment, hazing, or fraud/waste/abuse).

In addition to command climate surveys, the Marine Corps conducts “regular and nonotice inspections” by the IGMC to measure SAPR program effectiveness. These are 

conducted by the IG team with the use of an extensive Functional Area checklist 

developed by Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) SAPR. The IG team is also 

accompanied by a HQMC SAPR Policy & Plans Specialist. The Marine Corps also 

continues to conduct monthly audits of all 24/7 Sexual Assault Helplines, measuring 

response proficiency of SARCs and VAs responsible for answering inquiries and 

providing information pertinent to victim options and resources.

5.3 Describe your efforts to ensure integrity of data collected in the Defense 

Sexual Assault Incident Database.

All Marine Corps SARCs receive training on DSAID and use DSAID as a case 

management system, entering information within 48 hours of a report of sexual assault 

(96 hours in deployed locations presenting internet connectivity issues). NCIS uploads 

final case disposition weekly into DSAID.

DSAID training consists of four modules that cover all functions of DSAID, including 

establishing initial SARC and VA profiles, creating and converting cases, transferring 

and closing cases, and business and administrative functions. Refresher DSAID training 

is ongoing. In addition, DSAID Case Control Board (CCB) meetings are conducted by 

DOD SAPRO every month to suggest and discuss possible changes to DSAID based 

on difficulties and challenges reported from the field.

5.4 Provide a summary of your research and data collection activities conducted 

in FY14. Include documentation in the appendix.

The Marine Corps continued its use of the SAPR 8-Day Brief, a tool designed to 

enhance victim care but is also used for data collection and assessment. The tool is 

used to compile statistics that help identify trends regarding sexual assault in the Marine 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

152

Corps, including alcohol involvement, victim age and grade, latency of reports, issuance 

of MPOs, location of incidents, and offender information. Every quarter, these statistics 

are compiled by HQMC SAPR and briefed to the Assistant Commandant of the Marine 

Corps.

In addition to DOD quarterly and annual reports, research and data collection activities 

in FY14 included: 

− “Tone of the Force” and Gouge Sheet monthly summaries, which include a year-todate tally of restricted reports and unrestricted reports, as well as a quarterly 

update of adjudicated cases (see Appendix C)

− Weekly NCIS data reconciliations, performed to match up NCIS investigations with 

unrestricted reports in DSAID

− Expedited transfer tracking, which tracks the quantity of requests, approvals, and 

denials. This tracking also contains limited victim information and location

The SAIRO, a similar oversight mechanism based on the SAPR 8-Day Brief, is currently 

being developed for use across the DOD.

Ongoing research activities include a confidential qualitative study that examines sexual 

assault victims’ perceived quality of psychological health services. Results of this study 

are expected by June 2015. The study is a collaboration between HQMC SAPR and

HQMC Behavioral Health and aims to: examine the pathways in which sexual assault 

victims access psychological health services following an assault; understand the

barriers to and facilitators for receiving psychological health care following a sexual 

assault; and examine victims’ satisfaction with the psychological health care received 

following a sexual assault. Data collection and analysis is ongoing at three Marine 

Corps locations: Camp Pendleton, Camp Lejeune, and Okinawa.

In addition, the Marine Corps has initiated sexual assault research studies related to: 

male victims; unit life cycle vs. assault comparison; and unit, MOS, location, and gender 

analysis.

5.5 Describe your efforts to explore the feasibility of a SARC Military 

Occupational Specialty (MOS) or restructuring of military table of organization; 

addition of skill identifiers. 

The Marine Corps determined a SARC primary MOS is not advisable; however, 

assessment is ongoing regarding secondary MOS feasibility. SARC/VA training 

completion codes are maintained in the Marine Corps Total Force System.

5.6 Describe your efforts to assess the feasibility of incorporating sexual assault 

prevention training in Family Readiness, Family Advocacy Program (FAP), and 

Substance Abuse programs to enhance FAP and SAPR collaboration and 

training. 

The Marine Corps continues to assess the feasibility of further incorporation of SAPR 

training into all aspects of Marine and Family Programs. Current efforts include 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

153

providing installation-specific analysis of alcohol-involved incidents to assist in the 

comparative analysis of reported sexual assaults and other risk factors. This helps to 

assess the training and education needs across the Marine Corps, and to ultimately

lower the risks associated with these activities. Additionally universal integrated 

behavioral health training, called Marine Awareness and Prevention Integrated Training 

(MAPIT), includes sexual assault as a risk factor.

5.7 Describe your plans for FY15 that pertain to synchronizing and standardizing 

the SAPR program across the Joint Force (from Joint/Service basing to forward 

stationed and deployed units worldwide).

In FY15 and beyond, the Marine Corps will continue its compliance with all legislative 

and policy initiatives specified in the National Defense Authorization Acts, DOD 

Instructions and Directives, SecDef Memoranda, and the 2014 DOD Sexual Assault 

Prevention Strategy. Full DOD compliance with each of the tasks outlined in these and 

future guiding documents will help to establish standardized prevention capabilities, 

response systems, and assessment mechanisms across the Joint Force.

5.8 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

RAND Corporation

As part of the Progress Report to the President of the United States (POTUS), the DOD, in 

compliance with a request from the Senate Armed Services Committee, arranged for an 

independent assessment of sexual assault prevalence in the DOD. Prior to this, the prevalence of 

unwanted sexual contact was assessed through the Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of 

Active Duty Members (WGRA), administered by the Defense Manpower Data Center. The

RAND Corporation was thus contracted to administer its RAND Military Workplace Study, 

which served as the 2014 WGRA. The Marine Corps supported this initiative by providing input 

for survey methodology, design, and content, and continues to work with the RAND Corporation 

directly regarding analysis and implications of Marine Corps-specific data and findings.

Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN)

As part of the DOD Safe Helpline Database, the 24/7 Sexual Assault Helplines, along with 

contact phone numbers for other responders, such as PMOs, Chaplains, and medical personnel, 

are subject to biannual audits conducted by RAINN. These audits are conducted for all Service

branches. The Marine Corps has consistently scored above average, reaching a 100 percent 

success rate during these audits.

5.9 Describe your future plans for effectively standardizing, measuring, analyzing, 

assessing, and reporting program progress. 

As part of the POTUS report, the Marine Corps was instrumental in developing the 12 

metrics and 6 non-metrics for use by the entire DOD to measure SAPR progress. (Nonmetrics address trends in the military justice process. As such, no effort has or will be 

made to direct non-metric outcomes, as doing so may constitute illegal or undue 

command influence.) The 12 metrics, standardized across the Services, include:

1. Past-year prevalence of unwanted sexual contact
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

154

2. Prevalence vs. reporting

3. Bystander intervention experience in the past 12 months

4. Command climate index – Addressing the continuum of harm

5. Investigation length

6. All certified SARC and VA personnel currently able to provide victim support

7. Victim experience (SARC/VA support, VLC support)

8. Victims declining to participate in the military justice process

9. Victim retaliation (victim perspective/command climate perspective)

10. Victim experience (victim kept informed regularly in the military justice process)

11. Perception of leadership support for SAPR

12. Reports of sexual assault over time

The six non-metrics include:

1. Command action – Case dispositions

2. Court-martial outcomes

3. Time interval – Report of sexual assault to court outcome

4. Time interval – Report of sexual assault to nonjudicial punishment (NJP) outcome

5. Time interval – Initial disposition decision

6. Action taken in sexual assault cases declined by civilians

These metrics and non-metrics will continue to be tracked by the Marine Corps through 

several tools, including the RAND Military Workplace Study (including the Workplace 

and Gender Relations Survey), SES, DEOMI Organizational Climate Survey, CMC 

Command Climate Survey, SAPR 8-Day Briefs, and DSAID reporting data. Continued 

analyses of these and other metrics will help to identify gaps and trends in the SAPR 

program, inform future policy revisions, and direct the focus of Marine Corps prevention 

efforts. In FY15 and beyond, the Marine Corps will continue to collaborate with DOD 

SAPRO, the other Services, and the field to incorporate responsive, meaningful, and 

accurate systems of measurement and evaluation into every aspect of its SAPR 

program. Doing so will help us determine the impact that Marine Corps efforts are 

having on reducing and eliminating sexual assault, responding to victims in need, and 

holding offenders accountable.

5.10 (Q3 from DOD Amendment to Data Call) Provide a response to the following 

data points regarding to the Special Victims Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) 

Capability:

• Victim feedback received on the effectiveness of SVIP prosecution and 

legal support services and recommendations for possible improvements; 

participation by victims will be voluntary and provide for confidentiality, 

feedback mechanisms will be coordinated and standardized within each 

Military Service so victims do not have to unnecessarily complete multiple 

questionnaires, and these mechanisms will be used to gain a greater 

understanding of the reasons a victim elected or declined to participate at 

trial and whether SVIP prosecution and legal support services had any 

positive impact on this decision
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

155

The 2015 Military Justice Experience Survey (MJES) is currently being developed for 

DOD-wide use by the Defense Manpower Data Center. The Marine Corps is supporting 

its development by providing input as requested. This new survey will enable the Marine 

Corps to gain a greater understanding of victims’ legal needs and refine our services 

accordingly.

While formal feedback mechanisms are currently being developed, other indicators 

suggest that the Marine Corps VLCO has had a significant positive impact for victims 

engaging the military justice process. Between 1 November 2013 and 30 September 

2014, VLCO provided legal services to 734 victims of crime, including 415 (57%) for 

sexual assault, 157 for domestic violence (21%) and 40 (5%) for assault in violations of 

Article 128, UCMJ. Thirty clients were under the age of 18. Of the 734 cases, 371 (51%) 

required VLC to be detailed to actively represent the victim and advocate for their legal 

interests during the investigative and military justice process.

Implementation of the VLCO and other victim support programs are part of the reason 

the Marine Corps has seen a decrease in the number of victims declining to participate 

in the military justice process – from 16% in FY11 to 8% in FY14. 

Below are some narrative descriptions of assistance VLC provided to victims since the 

establishment of the program:

1. Helping Victims Understand Options: A VLC assisted a teenage child victim and 

her parents in fully understanding the military justice process, victim rights, and 

options going forward. The parents wanted the accused prosecuted, while the 

teenage victim did not. The VLC was able to bring all family members together to 

understand the process and options. After consulting with the VLC, the victim and 

parents were able to agree on their desired disposition of the case, which they 

communicated to the Convening Authority, who agreed.

2. VLC Assistance with Separations and Characterization of Service: A male victim 

that was sexually assaulted by a male assailant became so distraught and 

embarrassed by what happened that he left his unit without permission, followed 

by 10 months of Unauthorized Absence (UA). When he returned, he contacted a 

VLC that assisted him request voluntary separation under the Best Interests of the 

Service immediately after the victim testified in a general court-martial. His 

characterization of service was approved as Honorable.

3. VLC Motion to Exclude Prior Sexual History at an Article 32 Proceeding: During an 

Article 32 pretrial proceeding a VLC successfully argued to the Article 32 

Investigation Officer (IO) that prior sexual history of the victim was not relevant to 

the case before him, and therefore should not be introduced by the defense. The 

IO concurred. This decision kept the focus of the hearing on the case at hand 

rather than previous sexual history of the victim, giving the victim the confidence to 

continue to stay engaged in the military justice process.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

156

4. Facilitating Testimony of Child Victim: A VLC represented a six-year-old dependent 

victim accompanied by her parents. The VLC assisted the child to participate in the 

military justice process by accompanying her throughout the court-martial 

proceeding, including when the child had to testify. By persistence of both the VLC 

and Trial Counsel, the military judge ruled that the child’s testimony would be 

conducted by closed-circuit television rather than in the presence of the accused. 

This comforted the child and the family, and gave them confidence in the military 

justice system.

5. Coordinating with External Organizations: VLC Liaison with Domestic Abuse 

Shelter. A VLC had a client that fled her abusive husband and was residing in a 

domestic abuse shelter with her two minor children. She was concerned that she 

could only stay there for a few weeks before she would have to find a new place to 

live. The VLC contacted the shelter and they agreed to allow her to stay as long as 

she needed. Additionally, the VLC put together a package to HQMC requesting 

orders to relocate her and her children due to personal safety.

6. VLC Assistance with Victim Spouse Transfer Request: A civilian spouse that was 

the victim of sexual assault wanted her Marine husband to be transferred to 

another base to get her further away from the accused. The spouse and her 

Marine husband felt singled out and very uncomfortable at his Command. The VLC 

helped facilitate a PCS transfer (non-expedited since the victim was a dependent), 

which was a great relief for the entire family.

7. VLC Motion to Prevent Release of Mental Health Records: A VLC successfully 

represented a victim’s privacy interests in their mental health records during a 

court-martial. The VLC argued before the military judge that the victims' mental 

health records were not relevant in the case and should not be provided to the 

parties. The military judge not only granted the VLC's motion to prevent the release

of the records, but the military judge refused to privately review the mental health 

records “in camera.” Successfully preserving the privacy interest in medical 

records gave that victim great consolation during the trial and confidence that the 

military justice system does works.

8. VLC Motion to Exclude Prior Sexual History at an Article 32 Proceeding: During an 

Article 32 pretrial proceeding, a VLC successfully argued to the Article 32 IO that 

prior sexual history of the victim was not relevant to the case before him, and 

therefore should not be introduced by the defense. The IO concurred. This 

decision kept the focus of the hearing on the case at hand rather than previous 

sexual history of the victim, giving the victim the confidence to continue to stay 

engaged in the military justice process.

9. Increased Satisfaction with Military Justice Process: A VLC had a client that, on the 

last day before her EAS, came to his office and told him that if it was not for the 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

157

VLC then she did not think she would have made it through the court-martial 

process. As a result of her participation, a former Gunnery Sergeant was 

sentenced to reduction to E-1, 9 months confinement, and a bad-conduct 

discharge.

10. VLC Assistance to Stop Retaliation Against Victim: A male Marine who was a 

victim of sexual assault by an unknown assailant was subsequently harassed by 

members of his unit after they heard about the crime against him. The Marine had 

disclosed the sexual assault to the NCOIC of his section in order to get permission 

to attend therapy sessions. He asked that the matter remain private and not be 

disclosed to others. Soon thereafter Marines in the work section began openly 

discussing his sexual assault and ridiculing him. Informal resolution to stop the 

harassment failed. The work environment became so hostile that the corporal 

requested to be transferred to another section within the command, which his 

Commander denied. Thereafter, he sought the assistance of a VLC to stop the 

retaliation against him for his absences due to treatment sessions and attempt to 

transfer. In accordance with the Marine Corps VWAP Order (MCO P5800.16A), the 

VLC requested reconsideration of the transfer request to the commanding general, 

who approved this victim's expedited transfer to another unit on base.

6. Overarching Tenet: Communication and Policy

6.1 Describe your efforts to post and widely disseminate sexual assault 

information (e.g., Safe Helpline, hotline phone numbers and internet websites) to 

Service members, eligible dependents, and civilian personnel of the DOD. 

MCO 1752.5B mandates information about victim support services, points of contact, 

and resources be made available in the unit’s or command’s common area and areas of 

high pedestrian traffic. This includes posters that display the photograph of the SARC or 

UVA, the installation’s 24/7 helpline, the DOD Safe Helpline, and reporting options. A 

copy of the command’s policy statement on sexual assault awareness and prevention 

must also be posted throughout the command’s common areas. In addition, all official 

command and installation websites include the 24/7 helpline phone number on their 

homepage and link to reporting information and resources.

In addition, in an effort to maintain transparency of SAPR data trends and recent SAPR 

developments, as well as to keep lines of communication open with the fleet, HQMC 

SAPR has developed a three-pronged communication strategy that includes face-toface engagements, traditional print media, social media platforms. Spurred by Summer 

2014 Roadshow of the SAPR Branch Head, face-to-face engagements between HQMC 

SAPR and installation Marines increased in FY14 and is further planned for FY15 to 

help accomplish the following objectives: 

− Serve as a model of engaged leadership that emphasizes every Marine’s 

inherent duty to step up and step in to prevent sexual assault;

− Enhance and expand communications between HQMC SAPR and Marines of all 

levels 

− Provide Marines with the status of their SAPR efforts;
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

158

− Provide HQMC SAPR with situational awareness of how Marines perceive the 

SAPR Program and efforts; 

− Enable HQMC SAPR to measure the tempo of ground operations; and 

− Enable HQMC SAPR to provide assistance with installation-level SAPR 

programs. 

As part of the communication strategy, the Marine Corps began the electronic 

distribution of a SAPR Monthly Snapshot in August 2014. This document was designed 

to provide Marines with an understanding of the ground situation of sexual assault in the 

Corps. The SAPR Monthly Snapshot enumerates the total number of reports filed each 

month and in the fiscal year to date. The document also provides metrics that detail 

SAPR progress in terms of command climate, response and accountability, and the 

demographics of sexual assault. Each of these topics will be addressed once per

quarter, with the goal of tracking development over the long term. HQMC also produces 

brochures, newsletters, and other print media throughout the year to communicate with 

different audiences about SAPR efforts and progress.

In addition, the Marine Corps has also launched its SAPR social media campaign, 

which primarily utilizes Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. SAPR social media posts are 

visually-based "posters" with general messaging content, announcements (of new 

training, for example), and infographics for more detailed data. Thus far, the posts have 

focused on the DOD Safe HelpLine; the DOD Prevention Innovation Award presented to 

MCCSSS; and “Step Up” bystander intervention for junior enlisted Marines. Future 

social media initiatives will include live "town hall" meetings done via Facebook; live 

"tweets" during briefs, speeches, or other events; and SAPR "commercials" with wellregarded Marines talking about SAPR. These and other communications efforts will 

help keep open the lines of communication with the fleet, enhancing our assessment 

efforts with first-hand accounts and direct feedback from Marines.

6.2 Provide updates on your development and implementation of specialized 

medical and mental health care policy for sexual assault victims. If applicable, 

provide a copy of your updated implementation plan in the appendix.

Every Marine Corps installation provides non-medical counseling services to victims of 

sexual assault through installation Marine and Family Programs CCP. CCP is 

responsible for the education, care, and case management of victims of sexual assault 

who seek services. The CCP also provides diagnostic screening and assessments for 

the purpose of determining appropriate referrals and care of victims of sexual assault. In 

addition, CCP provides community-based counseling and case management services 

for victims of sexual assault whose diagnoses are sub-clinical in nature and not 

potentially disabling. Clinical case management services provide access to care 

between multiple care settings, ensuring the Marine does not “fall through cracks.” Both 

services are provided by licensed clinical staff. 

CCP Licensure includes Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and 

Family Therapists, and Licensed Professional Counselors. All clinicians are required to 

be credentialed to practice independently and have a minimum of two years post-
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

159

licensure experience in clinical practice, or must be supervised by a licensed clinician 

who has been credentialed to practice independently.

6.3 Describe your ongoing efforts to review, revise, update, and issue policy 

pertaining to:

- The record of dispositions of unrestricted reports.

- General education for correction of military records when victims 

experience retaliation.

MCO 1752.5B, signed in March 2013, specifies that the SJA establish protocol requiring 

case disposition information be given to the Command/Installation SARC for input into

DSAID.

The Marine Corps falls under the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) and 

SECNAVINST 5420.193, which establishes the procedures to correct military records. 

The Marine Corps has developed a one-page document that SARCs provide to all 

victims of sexual assault. The handout provides detailed guidance on how to petition the 

BCNR for correction of records.

6.4 Provide an update on your progress in modifying policy provisions for 

general education campaign for correction. 

Question deleted.

6.5 Describe your efforts to sustain policy for General or Flag officer review of 

and concurrence in adverse administrative actions and separation of victims 

making an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault in FY14.

Marine Corps policy requires that the GCMCA be the separation authority in all such 

involuntary separation cases, regardless of whether or not the victim requests general 

officer review based on an alleged retaliation action. In practice, almost all GCMCAs in 

the Marine Corps are general officers; however, for those GCMCAs who are not general 

officers, they must forward such a case to a general officer, in accordance with the 

Marine Corps Separation and Retirement Manual (MARCORSEPMAN). Paragraph 

6307(3)(c) states:

The separation authority for all administrative separation actions involving any Marine 

who made an unrestricted report of a sexual assault or any Marine who was the victim 

of sexual assault (whether or not an unrestricted report was made) that occur within one 

year of final disposition of his or her sexual assault case shall be a general officer 

exercising GCMCA and may not be delegated further.

7. Secretary of Defense Initiatives

7.1 Enhancing Commander Accountability—Describe your progress in 

developing methods of assessing Commander effectiveness in establishing 

command climates of dignity and respect. Include efforts made by your Service to 

incorporate SAPR prevention and victim care principles in their commands, and 

efforts made to hold them accountable. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

160

The CMC’s June 2012 SAPR Campaign Plan emphasizes the central role of the 

Commander and continues to guide the implementation of several initiatives designed 

to enforce positive command climates and enhance Commander accountability. Largescale training initiatives implemented since the Campaign Plan’s launch—to include 

Command Team Training, the June 2013 Leadership Summit, and SAPR training at the 

Commanders Course—have underscored the Commander’s central role. Since the 

launch of the SAPR Campaign Plan, the Marine Corps also implemented SAPR 8-Day 

Briefs and a CMC Command Climate Survey, which augments the existing DEOMI

Organizational Climate Survey. These tools are provided to higher levels in the chain of 

command, ensuring checks and balances and giving greater visibility and insight into 

subordinate commands.

While these initiatives meet the SecDef’s 6 May 2013 requirement to enhance 

Commander accountability, the Marine Corps continues to review and develop internal 

mechanisms to ensure the effective sustainment and further strengthening of these 

efforts. The SAPR Campaign Plan Addendum, signed by the CMC in April 2014, 

included further direction to reinforce our Commander accountability efforts, with the 

following tasks set for completion:

− Update the Performance Evaluation System Manual to reflect an evaluation of 

the Commander’s ability to set a command climate that is non-permissive of 

misconduct, especially sexual assault.

− Review the process and criteria for selection of Commanders and instructors 

assigned to commands and detachments throughout the entry-level pipeline.

7.2 Ensuring Safety—Describe your efforts, policies, and/or programmatic 

changes undertaken to improve SAPR training for members of the military 

serving in recruiting organizations, Military Entrance Processing Stations, and 

the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Include measures taken by your Service to 

select, train, and oversee recruiters, disseminate SAPR program information to 

potential and actual recruits, and how your Service has incorporated SAPR 

program information in ROTC environments and curricula. 

SAPR efforts, policies, and programmatic changes have occurred across the entire 

MCRC area of operations, reached roughly 3,700 recruiters in 48 recruiting stations, 

570 recruiting sub-stations, and 70 officer selection offices across the continental United 

States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Specific targeted initiatives, detailed below, 

were developed for recruiters and members of the DEP for enlisted and officer 

candidates.

Recruiter Screening and Training

Of the 9,050 Marines screened annually, only 1,800 Marines are assigned to Recruiting 

Class. The screening process ensures that when a Marine is screened for recruiting 

duty, any history of activity that would put a recruit at risk would immediately disqualify 

the recruiter from the duty. This process includes a records review of evaluations/fitness 

reports, NJPs, courts-martial, alcohol consumption, drug involvement, and family 

advocacy issues. It also includes medical screening, to include a full mental health 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

161

screening, and interviews with the Commander and Senior Enlisted Leader. In addition, 

all selected must have a background check and be checked against the National Sex 

Offender Registry.

All recruiters receive an “Ethics Package” at Basic Recruiters School (BRC) at MCRD 

San Diego prior to graduating from Recruiters School and being placed on recruiting 

duty. This formal course of instruction deals with the Marine Corps core values of honor, 

courage, conduct, and commitment, and outlines the following:

− Relationship restrictions between the recruiter and the recruit

− Two-person integrity policy (detailed below)

− Fraternization

− Sexual harassment 

− Sexual assault 

− Alcohol issues and usage

Two-Person Integrity Policy for Recruiters

Marine Corps Recruit Command (MCRC) Frost Call 033-13—“Safeguarding recruiting 

activities involving recruiters and members of the opposite sex”—was published 19 July 

2013 to help ensure that Marines, prospects, applicants, DEP members, and officer 

candidates are appropriately safeguarded during all portions of the Marine Corps 

recruitment process. Because isolated contact was one of the most common factors in a 

number of sexual misconduct allegations and incidents involving recruiting personnel 

and local citizens, the policy calls for the inclusion of a third party between recruiting 

personnel and prospective recruit prospects, applicants, candidates, and members of 

the DEP of the opposite sex. These recruiting activities include, but are not limited to:

home visits, appointments, sales interviews, applicant processing, transportation, and 

any DEP activities. A third party includes any adult; another Marine (to include a Marine 

Boot Camp graduate on leave or Marines serving in the Recruiter Assistance Program); 

or other applicant, DEP member, or candidate.

7.3 Evaluate Commander SAPR Training—Describe your progress in developing 

core competencies and learning objectives for Pre-Command and Senior Enlisted 

Leader SAPR training. If your Service has completed an assessment of newly 

established core competencies and learning objectives, explain findings and 

recommendations. 

The Marine Corps SAPR Commanders Course is mandatory for all prospective 

Commanders and Senior Enlisted Advisors, and was updated to meet all core 

competencies and set learning objectives as defined by the Office of the Secretary of 

Defense and in accordance with the SecDef Memorandum signed September 25, 2012. 

The course emphasizes the importance of command climate and the central role of 

leadership in both prevention and response. The four-phase course employs a readahead, a group lecture/discussion, and practical application (i.e., small-team problemsolving scenarios). The last phase is a brief by the Installation SARC within 30 days of 

assuming command or getting posted. In addition to teaching the basic concepts and 

issues related to sexual assault in the military, the training is designed to ensure that all 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

162

Marine Corps leaders understand:

− Risks and circumstances associated with sexual assault incidence and the 

proactive measures to prevent sexual assault and associated destructive 

behaviors within their command;

− Essential elements of a quality victim care response program and the roles and 

responsibilities of victim service providers;

− Complexity of sexual assault crimes and the appropriate investigation and 

disposition options available; and

− The roles of Commanders and Senior Enlisted Leaders in fostering a command 

environment free of sexual assault.

In January 2014, the SAPR training at the Marine Corps Commanders Course was 

observed by DOD SAPRO, which found that 5 of 20 learning objectives were not met, 

and an additional 2 were only partially met. The Marine Corps has since updated its 

SAPR training at the Commanders Course to meet all 20 learning objectives, and is 

working to expand its curriculum (and time block) specifically to facilitate the interactive, 

skills-application case study portion of the training. The Marine Corps will continue to 

monitor all of its training programs to help ensure consistency across the Services, and 

is prepared for future assessments by DOD SAPRO.

7.4 Develop Collaborative Forum for Sexual Assault Prevention Methods—

Describe your implementation plan and methods for establishing a community of 

practice and collaboration forum to share best and promising practices and 

lessons learned with external experts, federal partners, Military Services, NGB 

advocacy organizations, and educational institutions. 

While the development of an official forum of collaboration is ongoing, the Marine Corps 

continues to partner with its sister Services, external experts, federal partners, and other 

organizations regarding specific initiatives. These include several speakers who 

participated in the Marine Corps SAPR Annual Training event, held August 2014 on 

MCB Quantico, which was mandatory of all Marine Corps SARCs and SAPR VAs. The 

speakers included: 

− Dr. Nate Galbreath (DOD SAPRO)

− Katie Feifer (The Voices and Faces Project)

− Richard Leatherman (DOD Office of the Inspector General)

− Alisha Saulsbury (National Center for Trauma Informed Care)

− Lindsy Gundrum (RAINN/DOD Safe Helpline)

− Steve LePore (“1in6” organization)

− Susan Ginsberg (Stop and Breathe)

In addition, on 30 September 2014, HQMC SAPR hosted an Inter-Service Working 

Group on MCB Quantico that included SAPR representatives from each Service and 

DOD SAPRO, as well as representatives from NCIS and HQMC Behavioral Health. The 

speaker was Dr. James Hopper, an independent consultant, therapist, researcher, and 

clinical instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School. His presentation was titled 

“Outreach to Males Sexually Assaulted in the Service: Foundations, Basics, Next 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

163

Steps.” The working group discussed potential initiatives, but all agreed that not enough 

substantive research on the topic existed to validate a specific approach. Key 

takeaways included:

− Highlight the myths surrounding male sexual assault to leadership at every level 

to mitigate stereotypes surrounding male victimization.

− Most traumatized men have other traumas they might feel safer discussing.

These might include Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), combat, and other 

adult trauma. 

− Speculation as to why most males do not seek help includes the lack of 

awareness and acceptance of males as victims of USC. This includes the 

perception that it is unmanly and weak to be a victim, need or seek help, or share 

vulnerabilities.

− The general consensus of the working group was that male victims are not 

comfortable reporting USC to a SARC, VA, UVA, or anyone on base.

− Areas to focus on included attacking the stigma surrounding male victimization; 

establishing anonymous and confidential protocols for male victims to access 

available supportive services; learning about and employing the fundamentals of 

outreach, e.g., using language that empowers them rather than labeling them, 

and launching an awareness campaign.

7.5 Improving Response & Victim Treatment—Describe your efforts to improve 

overall victim care and trust in the chain of command. Include updates or 

initiatives undertaken by your Service to reduce the possibility of ostracizing 

victims, to increase reporting, and measures your Service has taken to account 

for victim input in these efforts. 

MCO 1752.5B mandates that all Commanders “protect victims of sexual assault from 

coercion, retaliation, and reprisal. Victims of sexual assault shall be treated with dignity 

and respect, and shall receive timely access to comprehensive medical treatment, 

including emergency treatment and services.” Specific measures of victim protection 

and support – such as issuing MPOs, referring the victim to medical and counseling, 

and informing the victim of his or her right to request an expedited transfer – are 

included in the SAPR 8-Day Brief, a tool for Commanders to ensure a standardized 

response to sexual assault reports. The SAIRO, which was based on the SAPR 8-Day 

Brief, is currently being developed for use across the DOD.

In addition, all victims of sexual assault are provided a document titled, “Correction of 

Military Records for Victims of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment.” The document 

provides instructions on how to petition the BCNR and states the following: 

Marines or Sailors who feel they have been retaliated against for reporting a sexual 

assault or sexual harassment by receiving adverse evaluations or adverse 

administrative action can petition the BCNR to request removal of such material from 

their records.

Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552 authorizes the Secretary of a Military 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

164

Department to correct any military record of current and former service members from 

that Department when the Secretary considers it necessary to correct an error or 

remove an injustice. The record correction authority extends to considering requests to 

correct records of service members who experienced retaliation for reporting sexual 

assault or sexual harassment. Title 10, United States Code, Section 1034(f) provides 

procedures regarding actions to correct records where the victim of a sexual assault or 

sexual harassment alleges retaliatory actions.

The requirement to provide this information will be included in the SAIRO to ensure 

implementation.

7.6 Enhancing Protections—Describe your efforts to update policies allowing for 

the administrative reassignment or expedited transfer of a member who is 

accused of committing a sexual assault or related offense. Include your Service’s 

efforts to account for both the interests of the victim and the accused.

On 22 January 2014, the Marine Corps released MARADMIN 031/14, which provides 

guidance to Commanders on the consideration of, and processes for, the administrative 

reassignments or transfer of Marines accused of sexual assault or related offense. The 

MARADMIN specifies that in determining whether to reassign or transfer an accused, 

the interests of the victim and accused should be balanced and the following factors 

should be considered:

− The nature and circumstances of the alleged offense.

− The adequacy of unit or intra-unit transfer to protect the interests of the victim.

− The availability of other measures (e.g., MPO) to protect the interests of the 

victim.

− The location and status of the victim (e.g., civilian employee, dependent residing 

on-base). If the victim has submitted a written expedited transfer request, 

whether such request can be approved.

− The location and status (e.g., training, pre-trial confinement) of the accused.

− The availability of billets commensurate with the accused's grade and experience 

within other units on the installation or potential PCA/PCS locations.

− For Reserve members, the SA-IDA may elect to direct that the accused and the 

victim perform inactive duty training on alternate weekends or at different times, 

or at a different unit in the home drilling location or geographic region.

− Career and significant personal or familial impacts of reassignment or transfer on 

the accused.

− Whether the accused has formed an attorney–client relationship with a defense 

counsel, and the anticipated costs associated with travel due to representation of 

the accused by such attorney at any possible proceedings.

− Other pertinent circumstances or facts.

The MARADMIN also specified that the accused may not be transferred pursuant to this 

policy if such transfer would interfere with the accused’s due process rights (e.g., right 

to counsel and to participate in his or her own defense), and that the SA-IDA may also 

consider victim input, if any, as to the accused transfer.

7.7 Improving Victim Legal Support—Describe your efforts to establish a special 

victim’s advocacy program that provides legal advice and representation for 

victims of sexual assault. Include your Service’s measures of effectiveness for 

this program, as well as efforts made to collaborate and share best practices with 

other services. 

The Marine Corps established the VLCO in November 2013, with the mission to protect 

victims’ rights at all stages of the military justice process by providing legal advice and, 

when detailed, representation to victims of sexual assault and other crimes. The VLC 

safeguards victims’ rights provided within the Manual for Courts-Martial, including the 

MRE, RCM, and UCMJ. Since the decision by the Court of Appeals for the Armed 

Forces in L.R.M. v. Kastenberg (CAAF Jul 2013), victims have had the right to be heard 

“through counsel.” Among the rights VLC assert on behalf of their clients are:

1. Rights under Article 6b, UCMJ;

2. Right to attend and be heard at legal proceedings per MRE 412, 513, or 514; 

3. Right to be present at all legal proceedings per MRE 615;

4. Right to provide “Victim’s View as to Disposition” of the case to the convening 

authority per RCM 306;

5. Right to confidential communication with victim advocate per MRE 514;

6. Right to receive copy of record of trial upon completion of the case per Article 54(e), 

UCMJ; and

7. Any other victim rights provided by law, regulation, or Service policy.

The Marine Corps expanded the eligibility of VLC beyond only victims of sexual assault 

to victims of all crimes in violation of the UCMJ, as permitted by 10 USC §§ 1044, 

1044e, and 1565b, including both adult and minor dependents. Additionally, eligible 

victims who file restricted or unrestricted reports, or are still undecided, are entitled to 

VLCO services.

Implementation of the VLCO and other victim support programs are part of the reason 

the Marine Corps has seen both an increase in reporting and a decrease in the number 

of victims declining to participate in the military justice process – from 16% in FY11 to 

8% in FY14. In addition, according to the Marine Corps Victim Advocacy Survey, victims 

were largely satisfied with the legal services they were provided. Survey data taken 

between November 2013 and March 2014 showed that 83% of victims agreed that legal 

personnel handled their situation with sensitivity, while 79% felt they were believed and 

75% felt their decisions were supported by legal personnel.

7.8 Develop Standardized and Voluntary Survey for Victims and Survivors—

Describe your progress in developing and participating in a standardized victim 

survey. List efforts made jointly with other Services and Departments to regularly 

administer the standardized victim survey in such a way that protects victim 

privacy and does not adversely impact victim legal and health status. 

Fielded between November 2013 and May 2014, the Marine Corps Victim Advocacy 

Survey was designed and implemented to examine the effectiveness of services 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military: 

United States Marine Corps

166

provided by the Marine Corps SAPR Program to victims of sexual assault. In order to 

achieve and maintain world-class victim care, it is imperative that Marine Corps 

leadership understand the impact SAPR services has on victims; the opinions, 

knowledge, and attitude regarding these services; the level of coordination and 

communication during response; and the overall satisfaction with the services provided. 

The survey revealed whether victims find the provided services useful and effective, and 

whether the effectiveness of services is enhanced by the level of coordination and 

communication among agencies that influence outcomes for sexual assault victims.

In addition, this survey aimed to identify what factors increase knowledge about SAPR 

services to target outreach and risk reduction activities, as well as understand which 

services are helpful and effective for good service planning, coordination, and followthrough. The survey data provided the Marine Corps with valuable, direct feedback from 

victims that we have been working to incorporate into our current service and future 

initiatives. The SES, adopted for use by the entire Department of Defense, was largely 

based on the Marine Corps Victim Advocacy Survey, which the SES replaced in June 

2014. The Marine Corps has continued its use of the SES, fielding it to victims of sexual 

assault on a voluntary, anonymous basis.

1. Analytic Discussion

1.1. Provide an analytic discussion of your Service’s Statistical Report. This 

section should include such information as:

• Notable changes in the data since FY13 (in percentages) and other time 

periods (at least FY12, FY13, and FY14), as appropriate

• Insight or suspected reasons for noted changes, or lack of change, in data

• Implications the data may have for programmatic planning, oversight, 

and/or research

• How reports of sexual assault compliment your Service’s scientifically 

conducted surveys during FY13 or FY14 (if any)

• Prevalence vs. reporting (the percentage of Service member incidents 

captured in reports of sexual assault (Restricted Reports and Unrestricted 

Reports) (Metric #2)

• Total number of Sexual Assaults (Restricted Reports and Unrestricted 

Reports) over time (since 2004) (Metric #12)

• Other

Total Number of Sexual Assault Reports

In FY14, Navy had 1,295 total reports of sexual assault broken out by 991 Unrestricted 

Reports, 294 Restricted Reports remaining restricted, and 10 Restricted Reports made 

in previous fiscal years that converted to Unrestricted Reports in FY14. This represents 

a 12% increase in reporting of sexual assaults between FY13 (1,158) and FY14 (1,295), 

following a 53% increase in reports between FY12 (755) and FY13, and a 31% increase 

between FY11 (578) and FY12. A three-fold increase in reports of sexual assault

between FY07 (408) and FY14 (1,295) is strong evidence of trust and confidence in the 

Navy response systems, and indicates progress toward closing the gap between actual 

incidents and reports.

It is important to note that an increase in sexual assault reports is the result of various 

factors and may not necessarily represent increased incidents of sexual assault. Many 

factors contributed to changes in reporting and demographics, including additional 

training, education, awareness campaigns; improvements to victim support services; 

and changes to Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). 

Restricted Reports

Restricted Reports enable a victim to receive support services without command 

notification or initiating an investigation. In FY14, 400 initial Restricted Reports 

indicated an increase of 31% over FY13 (305). This follows a 24% increase between 

FY12 (246) and FY13, and a 41% increase between FY11 (174) and FY12. In FY14, 

106 (27%) initial Restricted Reports were converted to Unrestricted Reports, compared 

to 49 (16%) in FY13, 47 (19%) in FY12, and 32 (18%) in FY11. This increase in 

conversion rates is another indicator of growing trust in the response system.

Unrestricted Reports

Unrestricted Reporting initiates a Military Criminal Investigation Organization (MCIO)

investigation and provides an opportunity to hold offenders appropriately accountable, in 

addition to giving victims access to support services. In FY14, there were 991 new 

Unrestricted Reports and 10 conversions from Restricted Reports being made in 

previous fiscal years; totaling 1,001 Unrestricted Reports. This is an increase of 11% 

from 902 Unrestricted Reports in FY13.

Implications of the data 

In FY14, reports of sexual assault in the U.S. Navy continued to increase over previous 

years. For a crime that is universally underreported, Navy views this trend as a positive 

endorsement of efforts to improve command climate. When a Sailor trusts the 

command to respond appropriately, he or she is more likely to make a report. The 

results of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate 

Survey (DEOCS) reiterated the trust and confidence victims place in their commands

through a consistent positive perception of command climate and leadership support of 

the SAPR program. 

The year-over-year increase in reporting indicates Sailors’ trust in commands, along 

with Navy efforts in increasing the number of dedicated personnel, training, and 

resources to include judge advocates, Victims’ Legal Counsel, NCIS, Special Victim 

Capability/Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) personnel, and other 

legal assistants.

During the last several years, there was a strong Navy-wide education campaign to 

educate Sailors and civilians about sexual assault reporting options (restricted and 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Navy

3

unrestricted), services available to victims of sexual assault, and crime prevention 

initiatives. As a result of these on-going education campaigns, there have been many 

changes in the reporting data that indicate the success of the message. Populations 

that may have otherwise discounted their experiences are increasingly coming forward 

to receive victim services and seek justice against their alleged perpetrators, especially 

male victims, victims with incidents that occurred years prior, and victims of contact 

offenses. Additionally, Sailors are vigilantly reporting and interceding on behalf of 

potential victims in an effort to prevent assaults and support victims.

Prevalence vs. Reporting

RAND’s 2014 Military Workplace Gender and Relations Survey

In early 2014, DoD SAPRO hired the RAND National Defense Research Institute to 

conduct an independent assessment of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender 

discrimination in the military. The study, known as the RAND Military Workplace Study 

(RMWS), invited close to 560,000 Service members (approximately 124,000 Navy 

Service members) to participate.

Confidential surveys are currently the best tool available to estimate the number of 

sexual assault incidents in the Navy. The Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of 

Active Duty Personnel (WGRA) was conducted by the Defense Manpower Data Center 

(DMDC) through 2012. The RAND Military Workplace Study (RMWS) was used in 

2014, utilizing newly designed assessment criteria and methods. RAND assigned a 

small number of Service members a version of the prior 2012 WGRA questionnaire, and 

analyzed the comparable results to provide historical trends. The FY14 prevalence 

estimates were calculated using the WGRA data. Estimates of sexual assault

prevalence in the Navy are based on the percentage of surveyed Sailors who had at 

least one experience of unwanted sexual contact (this includes contact, attempted 

penetration, and penetration offenses) in the 12 months before responding to the 

survey, and represent both male and female victims of various offense types.

RAND’s 2014 Military Workplace Gender and Relations Survey indicated 5.1% of 

women and 1.1% of men experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact, 

estimating that roughly 2,800 men and 2,800 women experienced unwanted sexual 

contact (see graph above). Utilizing FY14 reporting numbers, of these reports, 

approximately 32% of women and 8% of men made reports in FY14. In FY14, 1,141 

Service members made restricted or unrestricted reports, representing 20% of the 

estimated incidents. 

Survivor Experience Survey (SES)

Based on results of the Survivor Experience Survey, Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinators (SARCS), SAPR Victim Advocates (VAs), and Victims’ Legal Counsel 

(VLC) services received positive feedback from the majority of those surveyed. Many 

victims indicated they believed they experienced some form of social and/or 

professional retaliation. Further research will better define the specifics of retaliation

and allow for a better understanding of the issue to aid in the development of mitigation 

strategies. Retaliation in any form, is prohibited and contrary to Navy core values. 

Initiatives to identify and address retaliation include training at all levels, focusing on the 

first line supervisor, identifying and addressing retaliation at monthly case management 

group meetings, and reinforcing remedies available to commanders.

Navy will continue to use the results of surveys to assess progress in closing the 

reporting gap, both from the perspective of reducing incidents and increasing reporting. 

While the ultimate goal is to eradicate sexual assault, Navy continues to ensure 

maximum reporting of incidents to facilitate victim care and ensure appropriate 

accountability for offenders.

Other Trends

Male Reporting

Male victims in the Navy represent an underreported segment of an underreported 

crime. Of the 888 Service member victims initially making an Unrestricted Report in 

FY14, 23% (201) were male victims. In FY13, male victims accounted for 18% (141) 

and in FY12 11% (54) of the Unrestricted Reports. The consistent increase in the 

percentage of male victims making Unrestricted Reports from FY12 to FY14 is reflective 

of the progress of educational campaigns in breaking preconceived notions about 

sexual assault. Navy continues efforts to encourage reporting among men and women.

Service Member on Service Member

Service member on Service member allegations accounted for 60% of Unrestricted 

Reports in FY14, down from 67% in FY13 and 69% in FY12. In FY14, out of 595 

Service member on Service member Unrestricted reports, approximately 42% were 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Navy

5

penetration crimes and 50% were contact with 8% having an offense code (UCMJ 

violations indicated in investigations) not available. In FY13, approximately 50% were 

reports of penetration offenses and 50% were contact.

Report Latency

In FY14, 61% of Unrestricted Reports were made within 30 days of the incident, 37% 

were greater than 30 days after the incident, and 2% is not known. Comparatively, in 

FY13 only 52% of Unrestricted Reports were made within 30 days of the incident, 42% 

were greater than 30 days, and 6% is not known.

Investigations

There were 943 victims in investigations initiated during FY14. Of these, there were 

83% (779) victims in investigations completed by the end of FY14. In FY13, there were 

902 victims in investigations initiated and 62% (561) victims in investigations completed 

by the end of FY13.

2. Unrestricted Reporting 

2.1. Victim Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as:

• Type of offenses 

• Demographic trends

• Service referrals

• Experiences in Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

• Military Protective Orders Issued as a Result of an Unrestricted Report 

(e.g., Number issued, number violated)

• Approved expedited transfers and reasons why transfers were not 

approved

• The number of victims declining to participate in the military justice 

process (Metric #8)

• Others (Please explain)

Type of Offenses

Note: 15% of data pertaining to the type of offense is not available. In FY14, the most 

frequently reported offense was abusive sexual contact, representing 32% (313) of 

Unrestricted Reports (991), followed by sexual assault at 25% (246) and rape at 19% 

(184). Aggravated sexual contact, forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual assault, 

indecent assault, and attempts to commit an offense accounted for the remaining 

reports. 

Demographic Trends

Of the 991 Unrestricted Reports made in FY14, 79% were women (783), 90% were 

Service members (888), 50% were between the ages of 20 and 24 (495) at time of 

incident and 68% were pay grades E-1 to E-4 (677). Nearly all of the Service member 

victims were active duty (870) 98%, and affiliated with the U.S. Navy (841) 95%. The 

remaining Service member victims were affiliated with other Services. These trends 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Navy

6

have remained steady from FY11 to present. 

Service Referrals

See section 4.1 below.

Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

In FY14, 22 victims made Unrestricted Reports of a sexual assault that occurred in a 

combat location. The general trends for these reports match the overall Navy 

demographics with respect to time of delayed report and demographic information of the 

victims. All of these victims were Service members.

Military Protective Orders

In FY14, 235 Military Protective Orders were issued in 991 Unrestricted Report cases, 

with one violation by a subject. In FY13, 244 Military Protective Orders were issued, 

with 11 violations by subject.

Expedited Transfers

In FY14, there were 13 unit/duty and 151 installation expedited transfer requests by 

Service member victims. One of the installation expedited transfer requests was denied 

on the basis that the report of sexual assault was determined by the victim’s 

commander not to be credible. In FY13, there were 20 unit/duty and 128 installation 

expedited transfer requests by Service members. Two unit expedited transfer requests 

were denied. In one instance, the victim and offender were not co-located, and in the 

other, the report of sexual assault was determined not to be credible. 

Victims Declining to Participate in the Military Justice Process 

Legal action could not be pursued in 122 (16%) cases where victims declined to 

participate in the military justice process. This is not, however, reflective of all cases in 

which the victim declined to participate in the investigative/military justice process. In 

some cases, command action was pursued, resulting in administrative or disciplinary 

action against a subject, despite non-participation of the victim. However, these cases

are not categorized as a victim declination within our reporting. 

2.2. Subject Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as: 

• Demographic trends

• Disposition trends

• Experiences in CAI

• Command action for Military Subjects under DoD Legal Authority (to be 

captured using the most serious crime charged (Non-Metric #1)

• Sexual Assault Court-Martial Outcomes (to be captured using the most 

serious crime charged) (Non-Metric #2)

• Other (Please explain)

Demographic Trends

In FY14, there were 989 subjects in completed investigations. Male subjects accounted 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Navy

7

for 83% (821) of the total, 61% (605) were between 20 and 34 years of age, and 

Service members accounted for 74% (736). Of the 736 Service members, 95% were 

active duty (702), 93% were in the Navy (687), and 94% were enlisted Service 

members (689). Less than 3% (21) of the Service members were activated Reservists 

at the time of the alleged sexual assault. 

Disposition Trends

Disposition data was examined for cases closed during the fiscal year vice open and 

closed in the same fiscal year. Thorough investigations and prosecutions require time, 

particularly in complex cases. Examining cases opened and closed in the same fiscal

year would have excluded analysis of the more egregious reports received in previous 

fiscal years, and as a practical matter, all cases reported in the last quarter of the fiscal 

year, because it takes time to investigate and take disposition actions. 

In FY14, there were 921 final dispositions for subjects accused of sexual assault. Of 

this totally numbed of final disposition, 50%or 459 of the subjects were not subject to 

disciplinary action for the following reasons: lack of jurisdiction (i.e., civilian subjects not 

subject to UCMJ) (59), civilian or foreign authority exercised jurisdiction over Service 

member subject (7), subject was unknown (104), allegation was unfounded (e.g., it was 

false or baseless (21), statute of limitations expired (4), subject died or deserted (1), 

evidence was insufficient (141), or victim declined or refused to cooperate with the 

investigation or prosecution (122).

Experiences in Combat Areas of Interest

In FY14, 53% (10) of the total subjects (19) were Service members in CAIs. Unknown 

and foreign national subjects accounted for the remaining subjects. Of the 10 Service 

member subjects, eight were Navy Service members, one was a Marine Service 

member, and one was an Air Force Service member. The Service member subjects 

were predominantly active duty and enlisted, both accounting for 90% of the data. Due 

to the relatively small sample size (19) for Unrestricted Reports in CAIs and varying 

missions within them, there also is a wide variability of subject demographics from yearto-year.

Command Action for Military Subjects Under DoD Legal Authority 

In FY14, command action was taken against 462 Service members for both sexual 

assault and non-sexual assault (e.g., failure to obey order or regulation) offenses. Types 

of command action included court-martial, non-judicial punishment, administrative 

separation, or other adverse administrative actions (including Midshipmen Disciplinary 

System Action at the U.S. Naval Academy). Court-martial charges were preferred in 

approximately 48% of cases, a 4% rate increase over FY13.

Sexual Assault Court-Martial Outcomes

In FY14, there were 207 cases where court-martial charges were preferred for a sexual 

assault offense, an 88% increase over the 110 cases in FY13. 

Of those 207 cases, 130 proceeded to trial on at least one sexual assault offense. Of 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Navy

those 130, 89 cases resulted in a conviction (68%) and 41 in an acquittal (32%) of at 

least one charged offense. Of those 207 cases, 8 resulted in a resignation or 

separation in lieu of trial and 37 resulted in dismissal of charges at some point during 

the military justice process. 

2.3. Reporting Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as:

• Trends in descriptive information about Unrestricted Reports (e.g., Did 

more reported incidents occur on/off installation?)

• Investigations

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

Location and Time of Incident

Of the 991 initial Unrestricted Reports, 46% (451) of the incidents during FY14 

reportedly occurred on military instillations, and 40% (401) occurred off military 

installations. An additional 14% (139) of incidents occurred at multiple or unknown 

locations. Incidents occurred every day of the week, with the majority, 54% (539), 

occurring Friday through Sunday. The time of the incident was grouped into the 

following intervals; 32% (315) occurred 6 p.m. to midnight, 31% (307) occurred midnight 

to 6 a.m., 23% (228) 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 14% (141) unknown, various times, or could 

not be categorized. In the initial report by the victim, 35% (345) of the reports were 

made within three days of the sexual assault, and 26% (256) were made four to 30 days 

after the sexual assault, meaning 61% of reports were made within 30 days of the 

incident. The remaining reports were delayed longer than 30 days. 

Investigative Authority

NCIS was the predominant investigative authority for Navy Service members during 

FY14. A small number of Navy Service members were also investigated by other 

Service MCIOs and civilian or foreign law enforcement. NCIS routinely investigates 

non-Service member subjects (civilian or foreign national) and cases where the subject 

is unknown as long as there is Navy jurisdiction (i.e., Navy victim or alleged incident 

occurred on board a Navy installation).

Combat Areas of Interest

Of the 22 Unrestricted Reports occurring in CAIs, 55% (12) occurred on and 41% (9) off 

of military installations, with a small percentage of incidents occurring either in 

unidentified locations or possibly multiple locations. The incidents largely occurred in 

Bahrain with 50% (11), which remains consistent since FY11. The incidents in other 

countries in combat areas fluctuate over the years, but are small compared to Bahrain. 

For FY14 they are: Djibouti at 14% (3), Iraq at 9% (2), Kuwait at 4.5% (1), Oman at 

4.5% (1), and the United Arab Emirates at 18% (4). The majority of the incidents took 

place Friday through Monday representing 77% (17); the time-interval of the incidents 

varied.

• Demographics trends

• Service referrals

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

Restricted Reports are not reported to MCIOs for investigation or to commands for 

disposition. SARCs do not report the types of offenses for Restricted Reports. For all 

Restricted Reports, the role of the SARC is to focus on support services (e.g., crisis 

intervention and referrals to advocacy, medical, and counseling services) and case 

management.

Total Restricted Reports

Between FY13 and FY14, there was a notable increase in initial Restricted Reports. 

Note that only Service members and their adult non-Service member dependents may 

file Restricted Reports of sexual assault. There were 95 more reports in FY14 (400) 

than in FY13 (305), an increase of 31%. In FY14, 382 Service members, six adult 

family member victims (involving a military subject), and 12 reports with victim type not 

known, made a Restricted Report to a SARC and/or SAPR Victim Advocate (SAPR VA). 

Increased trust and confidence in the SAPR program and a better understanding of 

what constitutes sexual assault may have contributed to this increase in reporting.

Service Affiliation

In FY14, of the 400 Restricted Reports, 294 remained restricted (not converted to an 

Unrestricted Report). Of the reports remaining restricted, within Navy, 98% (289) were 

filed by Service member victims as follows: 95% (274) Navy Service members, 2% (6) 

U.S. Marine Corps, 2% (5) U.S. Air Force, and 1% (4) U.S. Army. The remaining five 

Restricted Reports were filed by adult family member victims and involved Service 

member alleged offenders. 

The 294 Service member reports that remained restricted were reported to SARCs and/ 

or SAPR VAs as follows: 56% (166) of cases involved Service member alleged 

offenders on Service member victims, 22% (65) unidentified alleged offenders on 

Service member victims, and 17% (51) were non-Service members on Service member 

victims. Data was not available for 2% (7) of cases.

Lastly, 24 of the Restricted Reports involved incidents that occurred prior to the victims’ 

military service (enlistment or commissioning). 

Demographic Trends

Demographically, 87% (255) of the reports remaining restricted involved female victims 

and 13% (39) involved male victims. The majority of victims, 53% (156), were between 

the ages of 20 and 24. The remaining ages of victims at the time of incident were as 

follows: 22% (65) ages 16 to 19, 18% (53) ages 25 to 34, 1% (4) ages 35 to 49, and 1% 

(3) ages zero to 15. Age demographics were not available in 4% (13) of the reports. 

Ranks of Service member victims were reported as follows: 67% (193) were E1 to E4, 

24% (71) were E5 to E9, 7% (20) were O1 to O3, and 2% (5) Cadet/Midshipman.

Nearly all (94% or 273 reports in total) of Service member victims who filed Restricted 

Reports were active duty, while 4% (11) of reports were made by Reservists who were 

activated at the time of report. 

Combat Areas of Interest

In FY14, there were 10 Restricted Reports filed by Service members in CAIs compared 

to one in FY13. Of the 10 reports to Navy SARCs or SAPR VAs, 90% (9) were Navy 

victims and 10% (1) was U.S. Air Force. Demographically, 90% (9) involved female 

victims and 10% (1) involved a male victim. The ages of victims at the times of 

incidents were as follows: 70% (7) ages 20 to 24, 20% (2) ages 35 to 49, and 10% (1) 

ages 16 to 19. Ranks of the victims were as follows: 60% (6) were E1 to E4 and 40% 

(4) were E5 to E9.

Non-Service Member Victims

In FY14, there were 10 Non-Service member victims who initially made a Restricted 

Report. Of the nine adult family members, reports remaining restricted (one report 

converted to an Unrestricted Report) were made as follows: 78% (7) non-Service 

member on adult family member, 11% (1) unidentified subject on non-Service member 

and 11% (1) victim type is not known. 

Demographically, of the reports remaining restricted, 89% (8) of the Restricted Reports 

involved female victims and in 11% (1) was victim gender not known. The age of 

victims at the time of incident were as follows: 56% (5) were between the ages of 20 

and 24, 11% (1) were between the ages of 25 and 34, 11% (1) of victims were between 

the ages of 16 and 19, 11% (1) were between the ages of 35 and 49, while 11% (1) 

data was not known.

Restricted to Unrestricted Conversions

In FY14, of the 400 initial Restricted Reports, 27% (106) were converted to Unrestricted 

Reports, a 116% increase in conversions from FY13 (49). Of the 106 converted cases, 

93 were filed by Service member victims, one was filed by a non-Service member 

victim, and in 12 cases the victim type is not available. Approximately 56% (166) of the 

294 remaining Restricted Reports were filed by Service members indicating they were 

sexually assaulted by other Service members, 22% (65) involved Service members 

assaulted by unidentified subjects, 17% (51) involved Service members assaulted by

non-Service members, 2% (5) involved non-Service members assaulted by Service 

members (entitled to make a Restricted Report by DoD Policy), and 3% (7) of the 

Restricted Reports have unavailable (blank) for this category. The time between 

Restricted Reports being made and later converted to Unrestricted Reports averaged

33.88 days. 

Location of Incident

Reports remaining restricted occurring on a military installation accounted for 26% (76) 

of incidents, compared to 54% (159) that occurred off a military installation, and 19% 

(57) that occurred in an unidentified/multiple location. In 1% (2) of the reports, this 

category had unavailable data. Despite an increase in Restricted Reporting, there was 

an overall 8% decrease for incidents occurring on a military installation when compared 

to FY13 (83), a 10% increase occurring off of a military installation [FY13 (144)], and a 

27% decrease among those incidents occurring in an unidentified/multiple locations

[FY13 (78)]. 

Additionally, of the 274 Navy Service member victims who made Restricted Reports to 

SARCs and/or SAPR VAs, 5.4% (15) disclosed incidents that occurred aboard ship,

5.1% (14) occurred while on the installation, and <1% (1) of cases had an unidentified 

ship location.

Time of Incident

Approximately 30% (88) of reported incidents occurred between midnight and 6 a.m., 

30% (88) between 6 p.m. and midnight, and 9% (27) between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Time 

of the incident was unknown in 30% (90) of reported incidents and unavailable in 1% (1) 

case. 

Day of Incident/Latency

In 20% (59) of Restricted Reports the incident day of the week is not known, while 24% 

(70) of cases reportedly occurred on Saturday, and 15% (44) of cases on Friday. In 

33% (98) of Restricted Reports were made within three days of incident, while 14% (40) 

of cases were reported 31 to 365 days after incident. Approximately 26% (76) of cases 

have unavailable (blank) data for this category, 11% (32) were greater than 365 days 

after incident, 10% (29) within four to 10 days of incident, and 6% (19) within 11 to 30 

days of incident. 

Combat Areas of Interest

The 10 Restricted Reports in CAIs did not convert to unrestricted. Of these, 70% (7) 

were made by Service members who indicated that they had been sexually assaulted 

by other Service members, 10% (1) involved a Service member assaulted by 

unidentified subject, 10% (1) involved Service member assaulted by non-Service 

member, and 10% (1) of the Restricted Report data for this demographic was 

unavailable (blank).

Of the 10 Restricted Reports in CAIs, 60% (6) were reported as occurring on a military

Background: DSAID

In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2009, section 

593, the Department of Defense (DoD) was tasked to develop a centralized, case-level 

database for the collection and maintenance of information regarding sexual assaults 

involving members or the Armed Forces. As a result, the Defense Sexual Assault 

Incident Database (DSAID) was created for Service-wide implementation.

As discussed in the FY13 DoD Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military, 

beginning with FY14, the Department is using DSAID as the system of record to 

populate the DoD Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military.

In order to produce relevant reports, DSAID relies on data from multiple sources, 

including Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs), Headquarters Marine Corps

(HQMC) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR), HQMC Military Justice 

Branch legal officers, Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) agents, and the 

proper interface between DSAID and NCIS’ Consolidated Law Enforcement Operations 

Center. As the source for victim, subject, incident, and legal disposition information for 

sexual assaults in the Marine Corps in FY14, DSAID was used to calculate the

information reported herein.

Number of Reports vs. Number of Victims

With the implementation of DSAID as the centralized, case-level database, came new 

guidelines for the accounting of Unrestricted Reports. Prior to the implementation of 

DSAID, Unrestricted Reports were recorded as the number of sexual assault cases, as 

reported by NCIS, the Military Criminal Investigation Organization (MCIO) for the Marine 

Corps. Thus, one Unrestricted Report or open investigation of sexual assault did not 

always equate to one victim of sexual assault, because one report or investigation may 

have involved multiple victims. Therefore, the number of Unrestricted Reports has 

historically been lower than the number of known victims. Starting in FY14, however, 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

2

each and every victim identified in an open investigation or in an Unrestricted Report is 

counted within DSAID as an individual report. Restricted Reports have always involved 

one victim per reported incident.

Effective FY14, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) mandated that Annual 

Reports emphasize the number of victims, vice reports, in the reporting data. This report 

will also use the number of victims in reporting data between FY08 and FY14. As a 

result, comparing other findings across years (i.e., demographics, alcohol involvement, 

etc.) proves challenging, as the only readily available data for FY08 through FY13 is 

that found in the DoD Annual Reports, which again is based on the number of reports,

not victims. Thus, developments and trends extended to FY14 are not perfect 

continuations of like data but the best possible approximations based on what is

available.

Reports of Sexual Assault: FY08-FY14

The Marine Corps has maintained its high rate of reporting evidenced by a 94% 

increase in number of reports recorded from FY12 to FY14. As shown in Figure 1 

below, the 880 victims in FY14 reports of sexual assault include 516 victims in 

Unrestricted Reports and 364 victims in Restricted Reports.

Figure 1: Number of USMC Sexual Assault Victims in Reporting Data (FY08–FY14)

Note 12 of the 516 victims in FY14 Unrestricted Reports were victims who filed a 

Restricted Report in a previous year but converted that report to an Unrestricted Report 

in FY14. No demographic data was available for these 12 victims. All relevant FY14 

data discussed herein centers on the remaining 504 victims in Unrestricted Reports and 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

3

364 victims in Restricted Reports filed in FY14.

Between FY13 and FY14, the number of victims in Unrestricted Reports decreased by 

9%, while the number of victims in Restricted Reports increased by 19%. This increase 

in Restricted Reports is largely a result of reports made for incidents that occurred prior 

to joining the Marine Corps. These and other trends are discussed in the following 

section.

Estimated Prevalence vs. Reporting

The 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study is the latest iteration of a confidential survey 

fielded biennially used to estimate the number of Service members experiencing sexual 

assault in the Marine Corps. According to 

this study, the Marine Corps saw a 

decrease in the estimated prevalence of 

Unwanted Sexual Contact between FY12 

and FY14. As shown in Table 1, the initial 

analysis provided by the RAND 

Corporation, using WGRA methodology,

suggests that in FY14, approximately 

8.44% of active duty Marine women and 

0.66% of active duty Marine men 

experienced some form of Unwanted 

Sexual Contact in the year prior to being 

surveyed. This is a welcome downward 

development from Unwanted Sexual Contact rates observed in FY12 (10.1% for Marine 

women; 1.1% for Marine men). 

This decrease does not yet establish a stable trend line. Large-scale Marine Corps 

prevention initiatives need more time to be further integrated. The November 2014 

RAND Military Workplace Study report stated additional analysis needs to be performed 

in order to understand how factors specific to the Marine Corps impact the data (i.e., 

demographics). At the writing of this report, RAND’s in-depth analyses of the 

demographic makeup of the Marine Corps were not available for review or comment. 

However, the decrease in Unwanted Sexual Contact prevalence in FY14 is 

encouraging, especially when taken together with other supporting indicators since 

FY12—to include positive developments in perception of leadership engagement, victim 

satisfaction with services, and willingness to intervene in high-risk situations. The 

continuation of Marine Corps SAPR initiatives should lead to further promising results.

Reporting Gap: 

The FY12 reporting gap—that is, the difference between the approximate number of 

Unwanted Sexual Contact incidents and those in-Service incidents that were reported—

was approximately 90%. The equivalent statistic for FY14 is 78%, suggesting that the 

reporting gap is closing, as shown in Figure 2.

Ultimately, the Marine Corps wants the reporting data to match the number of incidents 

experienced, which would mean that all victims are receiving access to advocacy

services. The Marine 

Corps will continue to 

use the survey results 

to assess progress in 

closing the reporting 

gap, both from the 

perspective of reducing 

incidents and increasing 

reporting. 

Eliminating sexual 

assault completely from 

the Corps remains our 

ultimate goal, but our 

efforts must also 

continue to focus on 

creating an environment 

in which victims feel 

safe in coming forward.

Explanation and 

Implications of the 

Data

Given the highly 

underreported nature of 

sexual assault, the Marine Corps is encouraged by the overall positive reporting trend 

since FY12. Victims continue to come forward, following the implementation of largescale efforts to raise awareness of the definition of sexual assault and available SAPR 

resources, as well as to increase confidence and trust in the Marine Corps response 

system.

Demographics

Of the 868 victims who made either an Unrestricted or Restricted Report in FY14, 

77.6% (674) victims were females, 22.1% (192) were males, and 0.2% (2) were not 

categorized in DSAID. For victim type, the 868 victims were categorized as 88% (763) 

service members, 11.8% (103) non-service members, and 0.2% (2) were not 

categorized in DSAID. Female Marines between the ages of 18 and 24 and between 

the ranks of E1 and E4 continue to be the highest at-risk demographic, comprising the 

majority of victims in both Unrestricted and Restricted Reports. The number of male 

victim reporting for both Unrestricted and Restricted Reports has increased noticeably

from FY12 to FY14. Increased reporting is a positive indicator, as the Marine Corps 

recognizes the stigma associated with all reporting, especially pertaining to males, and 

is dedicated to eliminating all barriers to reporting. For subject-victim categorization, 

assaults involving Service member on Service member comprised just less than half of 

all Unrestricted Reports in FY14, while assaults involving non-Service member on 

Service member comprised just over half of all Restricted Reports. Finally, just over

half of all assaults for Unrestricted Reports were recorded as penetrative offenses,

compared to approximately one third for contact offenses.

With the above focused at-risk demographics, Marine Corps prevention efforts have 

focused on these critical periods within a Marine’s career. The Marine Corps “Step Up” 

training program, designed specifically for junior enlisted Marines (E1 to E3), was 

released in June 2014, focusing on bystander intervention but including lessons 

pertaining to healthy relationships and reporting options. In addition, since the launch of 

the SAPR Campaign Plan in June 2012, the Marine Corps has implemented its “Whole 

of Character” training for enlistees in the Delayed Entry Program; updated its SAPR 

training at the Recruit Depots; and mandated all newly promoted Non-Commissioned 

Officers (NCOs) (E4 and E5) to complete the “Take A Stand” bystander intervention 

training as an annual training requirement.

The Marine Corps has begun to implement initiatives designed to enhance our existing 

support to male victims of sexual assault, identify and dispel myths surrounding male 

sexual assault, and mitigate stereotypes surrounding male victimization. One example 

of our recent efforts is an inter-Service working group arranged and hosted by HQMC

on 30 September 2014 that included SAPR representatives from each Service and DoD 

SAPRO, as well as representatives from NCIS and the HQMC Behavioral Health

Program. The speaker was Dr. James Hopper, an independent consultant, therapist, 

researcher, and clinical instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School. His 

presentation was titled Outreach to Males Sexually Assaulted in the Service: 

Foundations, Basics, Next Steps.

Prior-to-Service Reporting

Prior-to-Service reporting data involves Marine Corps victims who file a report for sexual 

assaults that occurred prior to their joining the Marine Corps. The total number of priorto-Service sexual assault reports has increased between FY13 and FY14 attributed by 

an increase in prior-to-Service Restricted Reports during that same period. This is due 

to the fact that the large majority of victims who report prior-to-Service incidents come 

forward to receive victim care services. Thus of the 364 Restricted Reports filed in 

FY14, 53% (193) involved females being victimized prior to becoming a Marine.

Female Marines in the pay grade of E1 comprise the majority of these Marines making 

prior-to-Service reports. For many, the Marine Corps affords them the first opportunity 

to discuss their previous sexual assaults. For some, it is their first time away from their 

offender.

Of the 868 victims in FY14 reports for the Marine Corps, 271 were for prior-to-Service 

incidents, including 227 victims in Restricted Reports and 44 victims in Unrestricted 

Reports. Of the 876 FY13 victims, 177 were for prior-to-Service incidents, including 158 

Restricted Reports and 19 Unrestricted Reports. Without counting prior-to-Service 

incidents, victims in reports decreased from 699 in FY13 to 597 in FY14.

The increase in prior-to-Service reporting within the Marine Corps can be attributed to

the increase in SAPR initiatives being implemented at the Marine Corps Recruit Depots

(MCRDs). All Marine Corps recruits, both male and female, receive four separate 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

SAPR-related trainings during recruit training. SAPR training is conducted by a 

Uniformed Victim Advocate (UVA) on the first day of arrival to recruit training. The 

second is a brief given by the MCRD academics department on Training Day 10. The 

third is a foot locker discussion with their Senior Drill Instructor, which occurs at Training 

Day 50. The fourth occurs at the end of recruit training and consists of the Marine Corps 

Lost Honor video, which includes interviews with four Marines convicted of sexual 

assault, each recounting the various circumstances and decisions leading up to the 

incident. Each of these training sessions covers supportive services available to all 

victims of sexual assault, regardless of when the incident occurred.

Location and Time

Regarding the location of sexual assaults in FY14, incidents in Unrestricted Reports 

occurred predominately on base, with the majority of assaults taking place in a 

residence, which includes apartments, condominiums, quarters, and barracks. For 

Restricted Reports, sexual assaults were more likely to occur off base rather than on 

base, which again is influenced by the large percentage of prior-to-Service reports.

Regarding when sexual assaults are most likely to occur, FY14 data shows that most 

Unrestricted Reports were filed for incidents that occurred between Friday and Sunday 

between the hours of 1800 and 0600. This data is consistent with information recorded 

for Unrestricted Reports in FY12 and FY13. No conclusions can be made regarding the 

day or time for Restricted Reports, as a significant number of victims provided limited 

information.

Given these trends, the Marine Corps has recently taken measures to enhance 

oversight and increase watchstanders in the barracks. These include the return of 

NCOs to the barracks to provide leadership to the maximum extent possible; increased

presence of senior officers and staff NCOs (SNCOs) at the barracks, especially 

between 2000 and 0400; and the assignment of company-grade officers as officers on 

duty and SNCOs as staff officers on duty at the barracks. In addition, television and 

video games are not allowed in the watchstander’s place of duty. These enhancements 

were implemented to reduce several behavioral problems, including hazing, 

fraternization, and alcohol misuse. 

Alcohol

In FY14, as recorded in DSAID, alcohol continued to be a contributing factor for sexual 

assault reports. For the 868 reports of sexual assault, 44.8% (389) involved alcohol use 

by the victim, subject, or both. For the 504 FY14 Unrestricted Reports, 54% (272) 

involved alcohol use by the victim, subject, or both, which is consistent with FY13 

Unrestricted Report data. In addition, 32% (117) of the 364 FY14 Restricted Reports 

involved alcohol use by the victim, subject, or both. It is important to acknowledge that 

alcohol and drug use, as reported here, is not derived through empirical evidence such 

as toxicology reports but rather through self-reporting and therefore may reflect a 

reporting bias on behalf of the victim, subject, and collateral witnesses.

Recent Marine Corps efforts to improve safety and reduce the risks posed by alcohol
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

7

include revisions and updates of policy pertaining to the proper training of alcohol 

providers, the enforcement of responsible sales practices, awareness efforts including 

public service announcements, and “Whole of Character” training programs for new 

Marines that address alcohol misuse directly and emphasize responsible and ethical 

behavior. Regarding alcohol sales policies specifically, the Marine Corps Order on 

Alcoholic Beverage Control is being updated to reflect, among other changes, new 

restrictions of on-base retail alcoholic beverage sales being limited to the hours of 0800 

to 2200, as well as the complete removal of distilled spirit products from sites adjacent 

to barracks.

Way Ahead

Overall, the FY14 reporting data for the Marine Corps reinforces the findings of FY12 

and FY13 data, on which most of the recent Marine Corps SAPR initiatives have been 

based. One positive finding that stands out in FY14 is the high percentage of 

Unrestricted Reports made within three days of the assault, which increased by 11% 

over FY13. The sooner reports are filed, the sooner the Marine Corps can provide 

supportive services to victims and the sooner evidence can be collected. A decrease in 

the latency of filed reports also suggests that command climates continue to shift in 

positive ways; with more Marines willing to report incidents earlier, barriers to reporting 

(such as the fear of loss of privacy or the fear of negative impact to career) appear to be 

slowly declining. These factors all speak to the large-scale efforts undertaken since 

FY12 to not only increase the awareness of and confidence in the response system, but 

to implement initiatives that enhance all aspects of the response system. In the last 

three years, these initiatives have included improvements to the following capacities: 

access to 24/7 crisis intervention, nationally accredited first responder credentialing 

requirements, discrete medical and mental health accessibility, special victim 

investigation and prosecution capability, and multidisciplinary coordination.

The USMC SAPR Campaign Plan is currently in Phase II, which was expanded in April 

2014 to build upon the energy and momentum of our efforts thus far, while addressing 

and exploring newfound gaps and areas of improvement. Based on new and continued 

data trends, more initiatives will be developed in support of the SAPR Campaign Plan. 

This includes the restructuring and expansion of the HQMC SAPR Branch to enhance 

its research, planning, and prevention capabilities and to achieve the following 

objectives:

− Open up the aperture of the subject matter, with increased focus on prevention 

and understanding the interplay among the bystander, victim, and offender 

Marine populations 

− Execute a SAPR program founded on state-of-the art research and proven 

practices

− Sustain the quality of the services already available to victims, while also 

embracing a more long-term and strategic focus on prevention 

− Maximize and optimize SAPR resources and personnel through strategic upstaffing and placement, while providing more efficient layers of leadership and 

opportunities for advancement.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

In addition, HQMC SAPR will expand its ability to drill down into specific data to better 

understand the parameters surrounding each incident of sexual assault, including the 

effect across different demographics, such as gender, rank, and age. By identifying 

overarching trends—including why Marines choose not to report (barriers to reporting) 

and the experiences of Marines who do report—the Marine Corps can evaluate the 

impact and effectiveness of all aspects of our SAPR program, from victim services to 

command climate. From these factual-based analyses, we will leverage best-of-class 

initiatives to effectively help high-risk individuals (both potential victims and potential 

offenders) from actually becoming victims and offenders.

Ultimately, the third and final phase of the SAPR Campaign Plan must ensure the 

lasting sustainment of our progress to date. While the Marine Corps has increased its

ability to respond to sexual assaults, the larger mission of getting further left of this 

problem remains. Ultimately, the goal is to stop sexual assaults before they occur. To 

this end, the Marine Corps will continue to assess trends in its reporting data, as well as 

survey findings pertaining to victim satisfaction, command climate, bystander 

intervention, and leadership engagement, so that further programmatic gaps can be 

identified and areas of focus can be effectively addressed. The data presented herein 

offers a snapshot of an ongoing fight, and will be used to develop future strategies to 

further advance our progress.

2. Unrestricted Reporting

2.1. Victim Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as:

• Type of offenses 

• Demographic trends

• Service referrals

• Experiences in Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

• Military Protective Orders Issued as a Result of an Unrestricted Report 

(e.g., Number issued, number violated)

• Approved expedited transfers and reasons why transfers were not 

approved

• The number of victims declining to participate in the military justice 

process (Metric #8)

• Others (Please explain)

In FY14, the Marine Corps reported 516 victims via Unrestricted Reports, compared to 

569 in FY13, marking a 9% decrease. Note: 12 of the 516 victims in FY14 Unrestricted 

Reports were victims who filed a Restricted Report in a previous year but converted that 

report to an Unrestricted Report in FY14. Demographic data is not available for these 

individuals therefore all FY14 data discussed herein centers on the remaining 504

victims in Unrestricted Reports filed in FY14.

Type of Offenses

Of the 504 sexual assault reports, 54% (272) were categorized as penetrating offenses, 

31.7% (160) as contact offenses, 4.2% (21) as attempts to commit offenses, and 10.1% 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

(51) currently could not be categorized in DSAID. Rape is the most predominant 

offense type recorded for penetrating offenses, followed by sexual assault. For contact 

offenses, abusive sexual contact was the most predominant offense type. 

In comparison to FY13, 61.7% (358) were categorized as penetrating offenses, 37.6% 

(218) as contact offenses, and 0.7% (4) as attempts to commit offenses. Aggravated

Sexual assault was the most predominant offense type recorded for penetrating 

offenses followed by rape. For contact offenses, abusive sexual contact was the most 

predominant offense type. For FY12, 71.7% (251) were categorized as penetrating 

offenses, 27.4% (96) as contact offenses, and 0.9% (3) as attempts to commit offenses. 

Aggravated sexual assault was the most predominant offense type recorded for 

penetrating offenses followed by rape. For contact offenses, wrongful sexual contact 

was the most predominant offense type. Note from FY12 to FY14, the percentage of 

penetrating offenses has decreased from 71.7% in FY12 to 54% in FY14, a drop of

17.7%. 

A penetrating crime is defined by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) as rape, 

aggravated sexual assault (pre-June 2012 UCMJ wording), sexual assault (post June 

2012 UCMJ wording), forcible sodomy, and attempts to commit these offenses. A nonpenetrating crime as defined by the UCMJ is abusive sexual contact, wrongful sexual 

contact, indecent assault, and attempts to commit these offenses.

Victim Gender and Age for All Victims

Table 2 below lists the total number and percentage of sexual assault victims by gender 

from FY12 through FY14.

Table 2: Total Number of Unrestricted Reports by Gender from FY12 through FY14

The percentage of male victims reporting has increased 245% from FY12 to FY14. The 

percentage of female victims reporting has increased 19% from FY12 to FY14. 

For victim age in FY14, 73.6% (371) of the male and female victims for Unrestricted 

Reports were aged 24 and under. Male and female victims aged 18 through 24 

comprised 69.6% (351) of all Unrestricted Reports. This data remains consistent with 

FY13 and FY12 data for victims’ ages.

Victim Type for All Victims

Of the 504 total victims, 80.6% (406) were military, 19% (96) were non-Service 

members, and 0.4% (2) were not classified. Of the 406 military victims, 68% (276) were 

females, and 32% (130) males. Of the 96 non-Service members, 98% (95) were 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

10

females, and 1% (1) were male. As in FY12 and FY13, the largest percentages of 

victims in FY14 were female active duty Service members.

Military Victim Age, Rank, and Duty Status

Of the 406 Service member victims, 306 (75.4%) were between the ages of 18 and 24 

and 87.4% (355) in the pay grades of E1 to E4. The most common pay grade for both 

males and females was E3. Of the military victims, 97.3% (395) were active duty 

Service members.

Subject-Victim Categorization for All Victims

DSAID categorizes the subject/victim classification in one of four ways: Service member

on Service member; Service member on non-Service member; non-Service member on 

Service member; unidentified subject on Service member. Of the 504 total victims, 

FY14 data is categorized as follows:

− 47% (237) Service member on Service member

− 19% (96) Service member on non-Service member

− 16.3% (82) unidentified subject on a Service member

− 6.9% (35) non-Service member victimizing a Service member

− 10.7% (54) were not categorized by DSAID

Similar to FY14, the largest number of assaults reported in FY12 and FY13 also 

involved Service member on Service member, followed by Service member on nonService member.

Of the 237 reports involving Service member on Service member, the largest 

percentage involved male on female at 61.6% (146) followed next by male-on-male 

reports at 29% (69). The remaining reports were split among various categories such 

as female on male, female on female, etc.

Victims Declining to Participate in the Military Justice Process: Metric #8 

The number of victims declining to participate in the military justice process has 

decreased from 16% in FY11 down to 9% in FY14. This steady drop in victim 

declinations corresponds with the Marine Corps increased efforts to support victims. 

The Marine Corps has implemented several initiatives to improve services to victims 

and increase their willingness to participate in the military justice process, including its 

continued compliance with the DOD Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program (DSAACP); further refinement and auditing of the 24/7 Sexual Assault Helplines; 

sustainment of proper staffing requirements; continued use of the SAPR 8-Day Brief; 

and continued compliance with the standards of victim assistance personnel, as 

identified in DODI 6400.07, Enclosure 2. In addition, continued emphasis on special 

victims’ investigation and prosecution and the establishment of the Victims’ Legal 

Counsel Organization demonstrate the Marine Corps’ commitment to ensuring victims 

are treated with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the military justice process.

Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

As recorded by DSAID, the Marine Corps documented four Unrestricted Reports of 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

11

sexual assault in the defined CAI during FY14. All assaults occurred in Afghanistan with 

three assaults occurring on base and one off base. All victims were female military 

members ranging in age from 19 to 20 when the incident occurred. The four victims 

included three Marines and one soldier. Victims’ pay grade ranged from E3 to E4. This 

is a noticeable decrease from the 12 Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault reported in 

CAIs in FY13 and 9 in FY12.

Military Protective Orders

A Military Protective Order (MPO) can be issued by the Commander through DoD Form 

2873, which orders two or more persons to discontinue any future contact or 

communication in person, via technology, or through a third party until a specified date. 

MPOs are most useful in situations in which the named parties are in close proximity, 

such as stationed on the same installation or housed in the same dwelling, and in 

situations where interaction may disrupt good order and discipline. For FY14, 

Commanders issued 134 MPOs at the request of the victim or on behalf of the victim’s 

protection. Only one report of an MPO violation by the subject was recorded. A total of 

231 MPOs were issued in FY13 and 222 in FY12.

Expedited Transfers

In FY14, DSAID recorded 54 expedited transfer requests, 46 of which requested a 

change of installation, frequently called Permanent Change of Station orders. Eight 

expedited transfer requests were for a unit change within or near the installation, 

commonly called Permanent Change of Address orders. There were 56 expedited 

transfer requests recorded in FY13 and 34 in FY12.

2.2. Subject Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as: 

• Demographic trends

• Disposition trends

• Experiences in CAI

• Command action for Military Subjects under DoD Legal Authority (to be 

captured using the most serious crime charged (Non-Metric #1)

• Sexual Assault Court-Martial Outcomes (to be captured using the most 

serious crime charged) (Non-Metric #2)

• Other (Please explain)

Demographic Trends for Subjects

Data analyzed in this section was compiled from investigations completed in FY14. 

These investigations may have been opened in current or prior FYs. There were a total 

of 563 subjects for investigations completed in FY14. Of these investigations, the vast 

majority were male Service member subjects serving in the Marine Corps in the pay 

grades of E1 to E4. This was in line with FY13 and FY12 subject data.

Disposition Trends, Command Actions for Military Subjects (Non-Metric #1) and 

Sexual Assault Court-Martial Outcomes (Non-Metric #2) 

In FY14 there were 455 investigations with subject disposition information. Of those 455 

cases, Commanders had the ability to take military justice action in 382 cases. 
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

12

Commanders did not have the ability to take military justice action in 73 cases, because 

the offender was unknown (41), the subject was a civilian or foreign national (20) or a 

civilian or foreign authority exercised jurisdiction (12). 

Of the 382 cases presented to Commanders for disposition, sufficient evidence 

supported Commander action against 73% (279) subjects. For the remaining 27% 

(103) of these cases, action was not possible because of victim declination (35), 

insufficient evidence of any offense to prosecute (57) or the allegation was deemed 

unfounded by command and legal review (11). 

Commanders took action in 279 cases. Of those cases, evidence supported sexual 

assault adjudication in 70% (196) of cases and adjudication for non-sexual assault 

charges in 30% (83) of cases. In the 83 substantiated cases in which the evidence did 

not support sexual assault adjudication, the investigation identified other misconduct 

that was detrimental to good order and discipline. Of these 83 cases, court-martial 

charges were preferred against 18 subjects, while 42 subjects received non-judicial 

punishment (NJP), 7 received administrative separations, and 16 received other 

adverse administrative action. 

For cases in which command action supported adjudication for a sexual assault 

offense, the Marine Corps preferred sexual assault charges against 175 subjects. Of 

those cases, 64% (112) proceeded to trial. Of those 112 cases, 81 subjects were 

convicted of at least one charge at trial. Both the number of preferrals and courtsmartials for sexual assaults in FY14 increased from FY13. 

Looking specifically at penetrating crimes, and excluding contact offenses, in FY14, 

63% (73) of penetrating cases proceeded to court-martial and approximately 68% (50) 

of those resulted in convictions. For non-penetrating crimes, 72% (38) of cases 

proceeded to trial and 79% (30) of those resulted in convictions. Figure 3 shows 

command action for alleged military offenders under DoD legal authority from FY09 to 

FY14.

Figure 3: Command Action for Alleged Military Offenders under DoD Legal Authority

Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

As recorded by DSAID, the Marine Corps documented four Unrestricted Reports of 

sexual assault in Afghanistan. Three investigations were initiated and two were 

completed during FY14. One investigation was not recorded in Marine Corps CAI 

matrices. Additional reconciliation is required between HQMC SAPR and DoD SAPR 

Office. 

2.3. Reporting Data Discussion and Analysis. This section should include an 

overview of such information as:

• Trends in descriptive information about Unrestricted Reports (e.g., Did 

more reported incidents occur on/off installation?)

• Investigations

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

Incident Location 

Of the 504 Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault in FY14, 56.2% (283) occurred on 

base, 36.7% (185) occurred off base, and for 7.1% (36) of the reports victims did not 

record a location. In FY13, 56% of the assaults occurred on base and 39% off base. 

For FY12, 55% occurred on base, and 40% off-base.

Location Type 

Of the 504 Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault in FY14, the top three location types 

recorded in DSAID were as follows:

− 56.3% (284) in residence/home [includes apartment, condominium, and nursing 

home, Quarters, Barracks, Bachelor Officer Quarters (BOQ)/Bachelor Enlisted 

Quarters (BEQ)]

− 7.5% (38) in hotel/motel/etc. (includes other temporary military lodging)

− 6.7% (34) in government/public building

For location type, FY14 data is similar to FY13 data, which showed that 57% occurred 

in private residences, BOQs, or BEQs. In FY12, 62% of assaults occurred in private 

residences, BOQs, or BEQs. 

Day and Time of Assault

For the 504 Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault, incidents occurred each day of the 

week; however, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays were the most reported days, 

accounting for 48.6% (245). For FY13 and FY12, 51% of incidents and 44% of 

incidents occurred on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, respectively. For time of 

incident in FY14, the 1800 to 2400 and the 2400 to 0600 timeframes accounted for 

31.2% (157) and 34.1% (172) of the reports, respectively. In FY13, these same two 

timeframes, 1800 to 2400 and 2400 to 0600, accounted for 26% and 27% of the 

reports, respectively.

Victim Reporting Latency

Victim reporting latency is defined as the period of time from when a sexual assault 

occurred to the incident being reported. Figure 4 shows FY14 with the highest 

percentage of reports recorded within three days of the incident.

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

Figure 4: Sexual Assault Victim Reporting Latency for Unrestricted Reports 

From FY12 to FY14

Alcohol and Drug Use 

In regards to alcohol use for all Unrestricted Reports filed in FY14, 54% (272) involved 

use by either the victim, subject, or both. For FY13 and FY12, 48% and 46% of the 

Unrestricted Reports involved alcohol, respectively. For illicit or prescriptive drug use in 

FY14, only 4.6% (23) of assaults reported involved use by the victim, subject, or both. 

In FY13, illicit or prescriptive drug use was reported as a possible contributing factor for 

only two Unrestricted Reports. It is important to acknowledge that alcohol and drug use, 

as reported here, is not derived through empirical evidence such as toxicology reports 

but rather through self-reporting and therefore may reflect a reporting bias on behalf of 

the victim, subject, and collateral witnesses. 

Investigations

As recorded in DSAID for FY14, 428 investigations were initiated by an MCIO or a 

civilian or foreign law enforcement agency based on the Service affiliation of the SARC 

who currently manages the victim case associated with the investigation and subject. 

The majority of these subjects were investigated by NCIS; however, a small number 

were investigated by another MCIO or a civilian or foreign law enforcement agency. An 

additional 498 investigations came to completion in FY14, including investigations 

begun in previous years. In FY13, 501 investigations were initiated and 531 

investigations were completed. In FY12, 333 investigations were initiated and 334 were 

completed. Please note that although the trends for investigations in FY13 and FY12 

seem comparable to FY14, FY14 used a new data management system (DSAID) that 

makes direct comparisons difficult.

3. Restricted Reporting

3.1. Victim Data Discussion. This section should include such information as: 

• Demographics trends

• Service referrals

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

Restricted reports are not reported to law enforcement or to a Service member’s chain 

of command. SARCs do not indicate the types of offenses for Restricted Reports, as 

they are self-reported and may or may not meet the definition and criteria of the UCMJ 

offenses. For all Restricted Reports, the SARC’s focus is on support services (e.g., 

crisis intervention; referrals to advocacy, medical, counseling services; etc.) and case

management.

For FY14, the Marine Corps reported 364 victims via Restricted Reports. This is a 19% 

increase from the 307 Restricted Reports filed in FY13. The greatest contributor to this 

increase is the number of prior-to-Service Restricted Reports made. In FY14, there 

were 227 prior-to-Service reports compared to 158 in FY13, a 44% increase. For FY14, 

a large percentage of the prior-to-Service reports were made by female recruits to 

SARCs or UVAs at the recruit training depot. The Marine Corps has made a concerted 

effort to train recruits on what constitutes a sexual assault, reporting options, and 

services available. 

Victim Gender and Age for All Victims

In FY14 for gender, the 364 victims were categorized as follows:

− 83% (303) female

− 17% (61) male

As with FY14, FY13 and FY12 also recorded a large percentage of female victims. Of 

the 364 victims, 90% (327) of the victims were 24 years old or younger. Male and 

female victims aged 18 through 24 comprised 44.2% (161) of all Restricted Reports. 

For FY13, due to the large percentage of victims reporting unknown for their age at the 

time of the incident, FY14 age comparison is not possible. For FY12, 78% (85) of the 

victims were 24 years old or younger. 

Victim Type For All Victims

Of the 364 Restricted Reports, 98% (357) were military and 2% (7) were non-Service 

members victims. Of the 357 military victims, 83% (296) were females and 17% (61) 

males. As in FY12 and FY13, military members comprised the largest percentages of 

victims in FY14. 

Military Victim Age, Rank, and Duty Status

Of the 357 Service member victims, 43% (154) were between the ages of 18 and 24. 

Of the 296 female Service member victims, 60% (178) were in pay grade E-1, while 

33.7% (100) were in grades E2 through E4 at the time of their report. For the 61 male 

victims, 41% (25) were in pay grade E1, while 51% (31) were in pay grades E2 through
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

17

E4. Of the Service member victims, 99% (352) were active duty.

Prior to Service 

Of the 364 Restricted Reports, 53% (193) reports were made by female Marines for 

prior-to-Service sexual assaults and 8.5% (31) were made by male Marines for prior-toService sexual assaults.

Subject-Victim Categorization for All Victims

Of the 364 total victims, DSAID breaks down the subject/victim classification in one of 

four ways: Service member on Service member; Service member on non-Service 

member; non-Service member on Service member; unidentified subject on Service 

member. FY14 data is classified as follows:

− 53.3% (194) involved non-Service member on Service member

− 24.2% (88) Service member on Service member

− 15.7% (57) unidentified subject on a Service member

− 1.9% (7) Service member on non-Service member

− 4.9% (18) were not categorized by DSAID

FY13 and FY14 both recorded more sexual assaults occurring between non-Service 

member and Service member. This is attributed to the large percentage of prior-toService Restricted Reports for each year; therefore, more assaults were committed by 

non-Service members. FY12 recorded more assaults that involved Service member on 

Service member.

Combat Areas of Interest (CAI)

DSAID recorded one Marine Corps Restricted Report of sexual assault in the defined 

CAI during FY14, compared to four in FY13 and zero in FY12. FY14’s sole Restricted 

Report occurred in Iraq in 2008 but was not reported until September 2014. The victim 

was a female Marine who at the time of the incident was an E4 age 27.

3.2. Reporting Data Discussion. This section should include such information as: 

• Trends in descriptive information about Restricted Reports (e.g., Did more 

reported incidents occur on/off installation)

• Trends in Restricted Reporting conversions

• Experiences in CAI

• Other (Please explain)

Incident Location 

Of the 364 Restricted Reports of sexual assault in FY14, approximately 60.7% (221) of 

the incidents occurred off base, 14.8% (54) occurred on base, 22% (80) of the victims 

did not identify the assault location, and 2.5% (9) could not be classified in DSAID. In 

FY13, approximately 46% occurred off base, 16% on base, and 38% in an unidentified 

location. In FY12, 41% occurred off base, 55% on base, and 4% in an unidentified 

location.

Location Type 

Of the 364 Restricted Reports of sexual assault in FY14, the top three location types 

recorded in DSAID were as follows:
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

18

− 68.4% (249) in residence/home includes apartment, condominium, nursing 

home, Quarters, Barracks, BOQ/BEQ

− 13.5% (49) recorded as unknown

− 4.4% (16) in hotel/motel/etc. (includes other temporary military lodging)

Day and Time of Assault

For the 364 Restricted Reports, assaults were recorded each day of the week; however, 

52% (189) of the victims could not or did not provide a day the assault occurred. 

Additionally, 31.5% (115) of the victims could not or did not provide a time of the sexual 

assault incident. Due to the large percentage of unknown days of week and times of 

day for incidents, a comparison is not feasible with FY13 or FY12 data.

Alcohol and Drug Use 

Of the 364 Restricted Reports filed in FY14, 32% (117) involved the use of alcohol by 

the victim, subject, or both. For illicit or prescriptive drug use, only 5.8% (21) of 

reported incidents involved use by the victim, subject, or both. It is important to 

acknowledge that alcohol and drug use, as reported here, is not derived through 

empirical evidence such as toxicology reports but rather through self-reporting and 

therefore may reflect a reporting bias on behalf of the victim, subject, or collateral 

witnesses. 

Trends in Restricted Reporting Conversions

In FY14, 426 victims initially filed a Restricted Report; however, 62 victims chose to 

convert to an Unrestricted Report, a 68% increase from FY13 (37).

4. Service Referrals for Victims of Sexual Assault 

4.1. Unrestricted Report Referral Data Discussion. This section should include 

such information as: 

• Summary of referral data 

• CAI referral data

• Discussion of any trends of interest identified in referral data

• Other (Please explain)

Summary of Referral Data for Military Victims Filing Unrestricted Reports

Of the 406 military members who filed an Unrestricted Report, a total of 1,389 support 

service referrals were made, a ratio of approximately 1 to 3.4, compared to the FY13

ratio of 1 to 8.23 and the FY12 ratio of 1 to 10.5. The decrease from previous FYs is 

attributed to the transition of data entry processes into DSAID. Referrals were provided 

by SARCs when the victim requested or conveyed a need for service, including military 

and/or civilian medical, military and/or civilian victim advocacy, mental health, legal, or 

chaplain services. Of the total 1,389 support service referrals in FY14, 1,274 (91.7%) 

were made to military support services, with 115 (8.3%) referrals made to civilian 

resources. Figure 5 delineates the types of military referrals provided from the 

SARCs/UVAs/VAs to military victims who made an Unrestricted Report in FY14:

Figure 5: Type of Military Referrals for Unrestricted Report Victims in FY14

CAI for Military Victim Filing an Unrestricted Report

For the four female military victims who made Unrestricted Reports for assaults that 

occurred in Afghanistan, their respective SARCs collectively recommended two referrals 

for mental health, one to legal, two for chaplains, and three for VA/UVA support.

Sexual Assault Forensics Exam (SAFE) Kits for Military Victims Filing 

Unrestricted Reports

In FY14, there were 66 Unrestricted Reports made to SARCs where a SAFE kit was 

conducted, compared to 46 in FY13 and 84 in FY12. In all three FYs, SAFE kits were 

readily available at the time each victim requested an exam.

4.2. Restricted Report Referral Data Discussion. This section should include 

such information as: 

• Summary of referral data 

• CAI referral data

• Discussion of any trends of interest identified in referral data

• Other (Please explain)

Summary of Referral Data for Military Victims filing Restricted Reports

In FY14, of the 357 military members who filed a Restricted Report, a total of 852 

support service referrals were made, a ratio of 1 to 2.4, compared to the FY13 ratio of 1 

to 4.8 and the FY12 ratio of 1 to 3.8. The differences between the FYs can again be 

attributed to the transition of data entry processes into DSAID. Of the total 852 support 

service referrals in this category for FY14, 815 (95.7%) were made to military support 

services with 37 (4.3%) receiving referrals to civilian resources. Figure 6 below 

delineates the type of military referrals given by the SARCs/UVAs/VAs to military victims 

who made a Restricted Report in FY14.

Figure 6: Type of Military Referrals for Restricted Report Victims in FY14

Combat Areas of Interest for Military Victims Filing Restricted Reports

One Marine victim, a female in the grade of E4, made a Restricted Report in FY14 for 

an assault that occurred in Iraq in 2008. The SARC referred this victim to military 

medical, mental health, legal, chaplain support, and the DoD Safe Helpline.

SAFE Kits for Military Victims Filing Restricted Reports

In FY14, medical personnel administered 16 SAFE kits for military victims filing a 

Restricted Report compared to 22 in FY13 and 11 in FY12. In all three FYs, SAFE kits 

were readily available at the time each victim requested an exam.

4.3. Service Referrals for Non-Military Victims Data Discussion. This section 

should include such information as: 

• Summary of referral data

• CAI referral data

• Discussion of any trends of interest identified in referral data

• Other (Please explain)

Summary of Referral Data for Non-Military Victims and Unrestricted Reports

In FY14, of the 43 non-military victims who filed Unrestricted Reports, a total of 97

support service referrals were made, a ratio of 1 to 2.3 compared to the FY13 ratio of 1 

to 7.34 and the FY12 ratio of 1 to 9.6. Of the 97 support service referrals in this category 

for FY14, 75 (77%) were made to military support services (i.e., for those victims who 

were military dependents) and 22 (23%) were made to civilian resources. Figure 7

below breaks out the type of military referral given by the SARCs/UVAs/VAs to nonmilitary victims who made an Unrestricted Report in F14.

21

Figure 7: Type of Military Referrals for Non-Military Victims Filing an Unrestricted Report 

in FY14

SAFE Kits for Non-Military Victims and Unrestricted Reports

In FY14, medical personnel administered 8 SAFE kits for non-military victims filing an 

Unrestricted Report, compared to 8 in FY13 and 18 in FY12. In all three FYs, SAFE kits 

were readily available at the time each victim requested an exam.

Summary of Referral Data for Non-Military Victims and Restricted Reports

In FY14, of the 12 non-military victims who filed Restricted Reports, a total of 51 support 

service referrals were made, a ratio of 1 to 4.3, compared to the FY13 ratio of 1 to 5.21. 

Of the 51 support service referrals in this category, 46 (90.2%) were made to military 

support services, with 5 (9.8%) referrals made to civilian resources. Figure 8 breaks out 

the type of military referrals given by the SARCs/UVAs/VAs to non-military victims who 

made a Restricted Report in F14.

SAFE Kits for Non-Military Victims and Restricted Reports

In FY14, medical personnel administered 3 SAFE kits for non-military victims filing a 

Restricted Report, compared to 2 in FY13 and 0 in FY12. In all three FYs, SAFE kits 

were readily available at the time each victim requested an exam.

5. Additional Items

5.1. Military Justice Process/Investigative Process Discussion. This section 

should include such information as: 

• Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD 2910 to the date that a 

sentence is imposed or accused is acquitted (Non-Metric #3)

• Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD 2910 to the date that the 

NJP process is concluded (e.g., punishment imposed or NJP not rendered) 

(Non-Metric #4)

Non-Metric #3: Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD 2910 to the date 

that a sentence is imposed or accused is acquitted

For the Marine Corps, the time interval from report to court outcome averaged 343 days 

with a median of 323 days. Several processes occur between the time a victim signs a 

DD 2910 and the date a sentence is imposed:

− NCIS is notified of the victim’s report;

− The report is investigated by NCIS in consultation with trial counsel;

− The Sexual Assault Initial Disposition Authority evaluates the investigation and, 

in consultation with an SJA, decides whether to request legal services for a 

court-martial or other disposition;

− If legal services are requested, a defense and trial counsel are formally detailed 

to the case;

− Charges are preferred;

− An Article 32 investigation is held;

− The Article 32 investigating officer provides a recommendation;

− The Commander and SJA review the report to decide whether to refer charges; 

and
Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Sexual Assault Statistical Report Data Call for Sexual 

Assault in the Military: United States Marine Corps

23

− If charges are referred, an arraignment is held, motions hearings and discovery 

are conducted, and the case proceeds to a court-martial.

Various factors may lengthen an investigation or military justice actions, such as the 

number of witnesses, the location of witnesses (one base or multiple locations around 

the world), forensic analysis of the evidence, the need for expert assistance, defense 

continuance requests, the need for subpoenas or judicial orders to obtain evidence, the 

number and type of motions litigated, and the availability of the witnesses. A wellexecuted investigation could take weeks or, in most cases, months to develop. While 

the UCMJ and Rule for Court-Martial 707 impose limits on the days until a case must 

proceed to trial, the numerous factors discussed above differ greatly among cases.

Non-Metric #4: Length of time from the date a victim signs a DD 2910 to the date 

that NJP process is concluded (e.g., punishment imposed or NJP not rendered) 

The time interval from report to NJP outcome in the Marine Corps in FY14 was on 

average 158 days with a median of 134 days. The process for offering, accepting, and 

imposing NJP is faster than the court-martial process due to the numerous procedural 

safeguards and due process rights provided to an accused at a court-martial, as 

described in Non-Metric #3. While a court-martial is a slower process, Commanders 

generally refer allegations of sexual assault to court-martial because of the serious 

nature of the allegations. When the evidence does not support referral of the sexual 

assault allegations to court-martial, Commanders often address collateral misconduct 

and lesser offenses uncovered during the investigation at NJP when appropriate.

Notes: Victim reported being sexually assaulted in 2011 by an

not defining the assault followed by forceful kissing and

that he processed it as an attack he was barely able to escape 

from and related he had forgotten about the incident until he 

was preparing his April 2014 SAPR Training presentation. 

Victim refused to give any additional identifiers of the subject, 

where the assault took place or of any potential witnesses and 

signed a Victim Preference Statement. Due to Victim'' desire to

note in to the command. During a command investigation into 

possible fraternization issues, Victim reported to investigating 

officer that Subject, a Physical Therapist, nudged Victim''s 

buttocks during a balancing exercise in a therapy session. 

Victim reported that she initially did not consider this to be an 

issue; however, after mentioning the encounter to another 

service member who was receiving the same type of treatmet 

for a similar injury, and the other service member was not 

nudged on the buttocks during the same balancing exercise, 

Victim reported the conduct. Victim also reported that on one 

occasion, Subject attempted to kiss her while alone in his 

office. Victim later declined to participate further in the military 

justice process, and as such, RLSO recommended nonjudicial

over on her back. Subject forced Victim''s legs apart and 

inserted his fingers then his penis into her vagina. Subject was

United States Air Force Fiscal Year 2014 Report on Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response: Narrative 

Executive Summary

The Air Force has a long legacy of facing challenges head-on. The fight to eliminate 

sexual assault from our ranks is one such challenge that we will be engaged in until the 

Air Force is free from sexual assault. This challenge will take bold and persistent 

leadership, persistent focus, and persistent action to realize our vision of an Air Force free 

from sexual assault. We have no doubt that our Airmen will achieve this vision because 

there is not a challenge that Airmen have accepted and failed to achieve. 

A key element in successfully addressing sexual assault is to ensure every Airman has 

the opportunity to live and work in a healthy environment where he or she is treated with 

dignity and respect. There is no place in that environment for the degradation of 

individuals through acts of sexual harassment or sexual assault. First and foremost, it is 

inconsistent with our Core Values: “Integrity First,” “Service Before Self,” and “Excellence 

in All We Do.” And secondly, it goes against everything our mission espouses when 

protecting and defending freedom at home or abroad. 

To encourage victims to report sexual assault, the Air Force has diligently worked to 

educate commanders on removing barriers to reporting and has provided enhanced 

protection for victims and their peers from retaliation after making a report. The Air Force 

places great trust in commanders and their ability to lead the force as the center of gravity 

in solving this complex and sensitive issue. 

In 2014, the Air Force continued educating officer, enlisted, and civilian Airmen on the

continuum of harm so they can better identify and eliminate behaviors that may lead to 

sexual assault. Starting from their first contact with a recruiter and continuing throughout

an Airman’s career, the Air Force builds upon established sexual assault prevention and 

response core competencies and learning objectives in all professional military education 

and training. Air Force recruiters initiate this process by briefing new recruits on the 

definitions of sexual assault, sexual harassment, unprofessional relationships, and the 

requirement to report misconduct in the recruitment phase. The sexual assault prevention 

and response education continues at Basic Military Training, where 11.5-hours of core

training focus on gender diversity, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. The building 

block approach strengthens our Airmen’s understanding of our Core Values and how to 

live by them at Basic Military Training and is due in large part to the implementation of 43 

recommendations from a 2012 review. 

For future officers, the Air Force Academy now trains leaders using a sexual assault 

prevention and response philosophy where throughout the first year, the cadet is a 

follower; second year a role model; third year a worker/coach; and fourth year a leader. 

In addition, the Reserve Officer Training Corps and the Officer Training School curriculum 

includes three-hours of sexual assault prevention and response instruction covering the 

effects of sexual assault on a unit’s trust and cohesion, the importance of victim empathy, 

and how gender relations and sexism can impact trust.
2

The impact of the Air Force’s sexual assault prevention and response campaign is 

reflected in the reporting and estimated prevalence data trends. Since fiscal year 2013, 

sexual assault reporting increased 17% with a shift to unrestricted reports, which went 

from 64% of the total reports to 70%. Similarly, the percentage of Airmen who indicated 

experiencing unwanted sexual contact in the preceding year dropped to its lowest level 

since 2006, when sexual assault prevalence was first measured. In fiscal year 2012, the 

prevalence rate among female Airmen was 3.1% and in fiscal year 2014 that rate dropped 

to 2.28%. A similar trend is shared among male Airmen. In fiscal year 2012, the 

unwanted sexual contact prevalence rate was 0.5%. In fiscal year 2014 the rate dropped 

to 0.43%. The decrease in prevalence and increase in reporting resulted in cutting the 

gap between incidence and reporting in half. In fiscal year 2012, approximately 1 in every 

6 Airmen who experienced unwanted sexual contact reported it; in fiscal year 2014 

approximately 1 in every 3 Airmen who experienced unwanted sexual contact reported it. 

As we look to the future, the Air Force will continue its focus on providing a world-class 

response capability and will also take a deeper look at prevention and how to accelerate 

our progress towards an Air Force free from sexual assault. In January 2015, the Air 

Force will host a Sexual Assault Prevention Summit targeting the development of future 

prevention measures and programs. The 2015 Sexual Assault Prevention Summit will be 

the first event since 2007 dedicated directly to sexual assault prevention. In 2007, the Air 

Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Risk Reduction Symposium developed bystander 

intervention, which is still an active prevention measure instilled in Airman today. Unlike 

the 2007 event, our Sexual Assault Prevention Summit will pair 150 Airmen with 

industries’ leading prevention experts. The Air Force is hopeful this Summit will 

operationalize the latest research from the academic community on sexual violence 

prevention into enduring prevention measures. 

Over the last year, we have solidified the foundation for executing the Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to 

eliminating sexual assault among our ranks. Despite many competing challenges, Air 

Force leadership remains personally and wholeheartedly engaged in exploring new 

frontiers and breaking down barriers to solve this complex and sensitive issue. Our 

Airmen will embrace this challenge and their vision will shape the Air Force’s sexual 

assault prevention and response future. Today’s Airmen represent the best of America, 

and they will succeed in creating a future Air Force free of sexual assault.

Introduction

This report documents the work the United States Air Force has accomplished during 

fiscal year 2014 to eliminate sexual assault from our force. Our strategy to create a force 

free from sexual assault centers around two primary themes, prevention and response. 

Prevention stands on its own and reflects policies and programs in place focused on the 

Airmen who commit this crime and how to preempt the crime before it occurs. Response 

programs can be further broken down into three categories: Investigating sexual assault 

report allegations, prosecuting these cases, and taking care of the victims who report this 

crime. Underpinning both our prevention and response efforts is critical assessment of 

our success towards eliminating this crime. This report contains 2 sections; the first 

section is narrative with eight sections detailing our prevention, investigation, 

accountability, advocacy, assessment efforts, communication tenets, Secretary of 

Defense Initiatives and a Secretary of the Air Force Oversight item in that order. The 

second section is a statistical analysis on quantitative data analysis collected over the last 

fiscal year.

1. Line of Effort 1—Prevention—The objective of prevention is to “deliver

consistent and effective prevention methods and programs.”

1.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Prevention Endstate: “cultural

imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional values, and team

commitment are reinforced to create an environment where sexual assault or

sexual harassment is not tolerated, condoned, or ignored.”

Overview: Since its inception, the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program has committed to delivering consistent and effective prevention methods and 

programs. It is critical the entire Air Force community work together to preclude criminal 

behavior from occurring and respond appropriately to incidents when they occur to 

prevent future incidents. Sustained emphasis by commanders and first line supervisors is 

critical to this effort. Continuous engagement is essential to establishing a climate of 

dignity and respect, as well as instituting environmental indicators to reduce and 

ultimately eliminate this crime. The United States Air Force builds upon established 

sexual assault prevention and response core competencies and learning objectives for all 

training, starting with accessions and continuing through an Airman’s professional military 

education to ensure consistent learning and standardization throughout the force. The Air 

Force also collaborates with a variety of sexual assault prevention practitioners and 

researchers to discover the most effective prevention policies and programs. The Air 

Force desires an environment across the force that reinforces our imperatives of mutual 

respect and trust, professional values, and team commitment. 

Leadership Engagement: The role of effective leadership cannot be overstated. An 

effective prevention strategy requires Air Force leaders to deliver a persistent and 

consistent message that sexual assault and related behaviors will not be tolerated. To 

this end, the Air Force directs commanders to foster climates emphasizing the Air Force 

Core Values of “Integrity First,” “Service Before Self,” and “Excellence in All We Do.” 

Airmen who embody Air Force Core Values cultivate an environment of dignity and 

respect. To achieve this goal, Secretary of the Air Force, Deborah Lee James, Air Force 

Chief of Staff, General Mark A. Welsh III, Vice Chief of Staff, General Larry O. Spencer,

and the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, James Cody, play an important and 

active leadership role in preventing sexual assault.

 Secretary of the Air Force: Since taking office in late 2013, Secretary James has 

focused on improvements to the Air Force’s prevention programs. In observation 

of Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April 2014, Secretary James released a 

video charging all Airmen to join senior leaders and take action against sexual 

assault. An excerpt follows: “General Welsh, Chief Cody, and I are committed to 

an Air Force where everyone is valued and treated with dignity and respect. We 

will continue to work hard on sexual assault prevention and our efforts to eliminate 

this problem, this terrible crime. Taking care of our people - uniformed and civilian 

Airmen - is my top priority, and I charge you in doing the same by taking care of 

each other. Be good wingmen!”

Secretary James travels frequently to bases throughout the world, always meeting 

with the local sexual assault response coordinator and Airmen to understand their 
5

perceptions of sexual assault and their assessment of the Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program. While speaking to a class at the Squadron 

Officer School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama in May 2014, she emphasized 

individual responsibility to prevent sexual assault by explaining, "Being a good 

wingman is so important to our culture, but being a good wingman never means 

standing by and allowing people to (blame victims), so I say to you, please take it 

personally."

The Secretary takes advantage of opportunities to reach out to Airmen on their 

responsibilities to create an environment free from sexual assault. For example in 

her speech to a broad audience of Airmen and the public at the Air Force 

Association Conference in September 2014, the Secretary stated: "Bold leadership 

from our Airmen means that we must bind ourselves to the common threads of 

dignity and respect. So let us build toward that future of a more inclusive 

environment, an environment free from sexual assault, an environment enriched by 

diversity of thought. Let us stand firm in the face of injustice for today’s lieutenants 

and Airmen are tomorrow’s generals and chiefs, and if we get it right now, if we 

properly develop and cultivate a respectful, diverse, and inclusive work force, one 

that stands firmly on the shoulders of our bedrock values of integrity, service and 

excellence, then tomorrow’s Air Force will be even better than it is today. Better 

than it ever has been before.”

 Chief of Staff of the Air Force: In April 2014, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, 

General Mark A. Welsh III, hosted a Three Star Summit. Secretary James 

conducted a special session during the summit and devoted an entire day to 

sexual assault prevention and response. The Secretary spoke about her effort to 

speak to local sexual assault response coordinators, special victims’ counsel and 

victim advocates during her travels. Experts from several fields, including law 

enforcement, legal, and behavioral science, gave their insight, and entertained 

questions. A male and a female survivor each provided moving accounts of their 

trauma and answered questions about their experiences. Open and candid 

discussion was the cornerstone of the day. Top Air Force leaders shared with 

each other the work they have done so far, and their continuing plans to make 

sexual assault prevention a top priority.

In May 2014, General Welsh thanked the broad spectrum of individuals involved in 

the special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability. The Air Force 

worldwide special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability is primarily 

comprised of 24 sexual assault investigators, 28 special victims’ counsel, and nine

special victims’ unit senior trial counsel. In a video message to all Airmen: “You 

are working so hard to do the right things to help us eliminate this scourge (of 

sexual assault), the results are showing,” he said, listing a number of efforts and 

programs implemented over the last year. General Welsh cautioned Airmen about 

celebrating success too early. “There is no victory dance until we have victory," he 

said. "So when we hit zero sexual assaults for a year, we’ll celebrate. Until then, 

keep taking care of each other.”

 Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force: In July 2013, Vice Chief of Staff of the Air 

Force, General Larry O. Spencer, launched an “Every Airman Counts” Campaign 

seeking innovative ideas on how best to tackle the issue of sexual assault through 

an Airman-focused blog. The blog initiative kicked off on July 16, 2013, receiving 

more than 76,891 visits and roughly 300 comments by the end of Fiscal Year 2014. 

The Vice Chief of Staff initiated Senior Leader Web Chats making senior leaders 

and experts in the field of sexual assault prevention and response available to 

discuss sexual assault issues. The leaders and experts allowed Airmen of all 

ranks and their sexual assault response coordinators to ask questions and share 

concerns on sexual assault with one of the Air Force's top leaders. During fiscal 

year 2014, web chats were conducted with Little Rock Air Force Base, Sheppard 

Air Force Base and Barksdale Air Force Base.

 Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force: The Chief Master Sergeant of the Air 

Force travels frequently to bases throughout the world, always meeting with the 

local sexual assault response coordinator and Airmen to understand their 

perceptions of sexual assault and their assessment of the Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program. In August 2014, Chief Master Sergeant of the 

Air Force, James Cody, spoke on the topic of sexual assault at Tinker Air Force 

Base. He said, “although the Air Force has taken steps to educate and bring 

awareness to the issue, no one should be satisfied until the crime is eliminated 

completely. We have made significant strides when you think about our special 

victims’ counsel, the fidelity that we are putting behind the training and how we 

continue to adapt it in meaningful and purposeful ways. We are not going to allow 

ourselves to lose sight of the importance of creating an environment built on dignity 

and respect. We want it to be impossible for this crime to be perpetrated amongst 

the men and women who serve." 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Council: During fall 2013, 

Headquarters Air Force established a monthly Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Council to address key sensitive topics highlighted by Presidential and Congressional 

Inquiries, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Air Force, and/or the Chief and Vice 

Chiefs of Staff of the Air Force. The council is chaired by the Under Secretary of the Air 

Force, the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff and the Director, Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program. Other stakeholders in attendance of this council 

include the major commands’ vice commanders, command chiefs and their sexual assault 

prevention and response program managers. The intent of the council is to discuss 

sexual assault prevention and response issues while engaging senior leaders in strategic 

problem solving and prevention efforts to combat sexual assault crimes. 

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Council is a critical venue for achieving the

prevention end state where “cultural imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional

values, and team commitment are reinforced to create an environment where sexual

assault or sexual harassment is not tolerated, condoned, or ignored.” In 2014, the Air 

Force Vice Chief of Staff and the Undersecretary of the Air Force hosted 12 sessions in 

support of the prevention end state and requested major commands vice commanders 
7

address various sexual assault prevention issues unique to their command structure and 

areas of expertise. Normally, the council is 30 to 60 minutes in length and issues 

discussed include (but are not limited to) the following: civilian volunteer victim 

advocates, states not recognizing restricted reporting for our Airmen and state licensure 

for medical professionals, assessment of military training instructors and screening 

processes, evaluation of potential “best practices” for Air Force implementation and 

understanding, and effective prevention initiatives Air Force-wide.

 

Commanders’ Prevention Role: On May 8, 2014, the Air Force published Air Force 

Instruction 1-2, Commander’s Responsibilities, establishing broad responsibilities and 

expectations for commanders. This instruction supports prevention efforts as it provides 

guidance to commanders to be morally and ethically above reproach and to exemplify Air 

Force Core Values and standards in their professional and personal lives. It directs 

commanders to establish and maintain a healthy command climate, which fosters good 

order and discipline, teamwork, cohesion and trust that ensures members are treated with 

dignity, respect and inclusion and does not tolerate harassment, assault or unlawful 

discrimination of any kind.

Air Force Guidance Memorandum Two to Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and 

Enlisted Evaluation Systems, published January 1, 2014, defines commanders’ and noncommissioned officers’ explicit responsibilities for creating climates of dignity and respect 

in support of sexual assault prevention. The guidance memorandum also sets forth 

expectations of fair and equal treatment to include an environment free of sexual 

harassment, unlawful discrimination, and sexual assault. The guidance memorandum 

charges commanders with the responsibility to create a healthy climate and adhere to the 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program principles. Additionally, every 

commander is responsible for, and will be held accountable for, ensuring their unit has a 

healthy climate. These new requirements are critical to the prevention line of effort and 

assist Airmen in understanding their role in creating a healthy culture and environment. 

Airmen: The Air Force expects every Airman to take on a key role in preventing sexual 

assault and provides education and training on bystander intervention and the role of all 

Airmen in affecting culture change. The Air Force recognizes that it takes all Airmen 

engaged in a continual collaborative effort to eliminate sexual assault from its ranks.

Harmonizing Equal Opportunity and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Efforts: All Airmen deserve to serve our Nation in an environment free from sexual 

harassment and sexual assault. While there are distinct legal differences between sexual 

harassment and sexual assault, the prevention efforts are complementary and reinforce a 

culture of dignity and respect. Research shows environments conducive to sexual 

harassment often correlate to higher sexual assault rates; this is referred to as the 

continuum of harm. A unit that permits inappropriate comments, crude jokes, and sexist 

behavior is at a higher risk for a sexual assault to occur. In an effort to foster better 

synergy and provide better service to our Airmen reporting sexual assault and sexual

harassment, the Secretary of the Air Force directed new initiatives to harmonize our equal 

opportunity and sexual assault care for commanders and victims. 
8

In August 2014, the Secretary of the Air Force directed the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response and Equal Opportunity Offices to develop a timeline and 

policies to establish more effective collaborative efforts between these two programs. To 

foster better synergy and to provide better service to Airmen reporting sexual harassment 

or sexual assault, commanders were directed to ensure that the Equal Opportunity and 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Offices are located in close proximity to one 

another, while maintaining the facilities required to provide private victim support.

Second, the equal opportunity and sexual assault prevention and response teams were 

directed to create and implement plans to begin building a cadre of professionals who 

have the core competencies required to provide responses in both critical areas. To that 

end, the equal opportunity and sexual assault prevention and response teams are 

currently developing a plan to send equal opportunity advisors to the eight-day Sexual 

Assault Response Coordinator Course taught at Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, 

Alabama. The teams are also developing a plan to send some of the sexual assault 

prevention and response professionals to equal opportunity training at the Department of 

Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, Patrick Air Force Base, Florida.

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention Expert: In August 2014, the Air Force wrote a 

performance work statement to hire a highly qualified prevention expert to provide 

direction for the entire Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. The 

prevention expert will establish strategies, plans, and policies for continued improvement 

of the program and maintain oversight of field prevention activities aimed at establishing 

the prevention end state. The office anticipates the position will be filled in fiscal year 

2015.

Sexual Assault Prevention Innovation Award: During June 2014, the Department of 

Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office announced the first Sexual 

Assault Prevention Innovation Award. This award recognizes a group or an individual 

(military or civilian) from each military service/component who contributed or developed 

an innovative idea, concept, methodology, or approach to positively impact the Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Program either at an installation, deployed 

environment, or in a Reserve Component. 

In July 2014, the Air Force presented the inaugural Sexual Assault Prevention Innovation 

Award to Major Daniel Giannavola and First Lieutenant Poonsak Kajonpong from the 8th 

Fighter Wing, Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea. This duo’s innovative yearlong 

prevention campaign involved the Kunsan Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 

collaborating with the Wing’s Public Affairs Office, American Armed Forces Network Pacific, 

and the Defense Media Activity. The collaboration created a massive media blitz aimed at 

preventing sexual assault, helping survivors, and promoting reporting within the Department 

of Defense. At the partnership’s conclusion over a dozen commercials were produced and 

aired throughout the Pacific Rim reaching more than 1.8 million viewers. The fact that 

Kunsan’s Airmen were inspired to undertake a proactive and innovative prevention 

campaign is positive proof that the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program influences cultural change.
9

To achieve our prevention end state, it is paramount that Air Force leadership at every 

level to include senior leaders, commanders, first-line supervisors, and Airmen continue 

their persistent and consistent message that sexual assault and related behaviors will not 

be tolerated. The Air Force’s message is clear to all Air Force members that the Air Force 

is no place for an environment that allows for the degradation of individuals through acts 

of sexual harassment or sexual assault. Our message about sexual assault and 

harassment is that they are inconsistent with our Core Values: “Integrity First,” “Service 

Before Self,” and “Excellence in All We Do.” 

1.2 Describe your progress in enhancing and integrating Sexual Assault

Prevention and Response Professional Military Education in accordance with 

National Defense Authorization Act fiscal year 2012 requirements.

Professional Military Education: Professional military education courses reinforce the 

competencies taught in accessions training while building leadership traits. Three levels 

of professional military education for officers and enlisted Airmen build upon each other 

and prepare them for the next level of leadership in their career. Enlisted professional 

military education includes Airman Leadership School, Non-commissioned Officer 

Academy, and Senior Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Officer professional military 

education includes Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College, and Air 

War College. Today’s professional military education curriculum includes rank 

appropriate sexual assault prevention and response education for both commissioned 

officers and enlisted Airmen. Civilians also have the option to complete officer 

professional military education. 

 Airman Leadership School: The Airman Leadership School is the first level of the 

enlisted professional military education continuum and prepares senior Airmen to 

be professional, war‐fighting Airmen who can supervise and lead Air Force work 

teams to support the employment of air, space, and cyberspace power. Currently, 

there are 68 Airman Leadership School Programs worldwide. Airman Leadership 

School provides students with 60 minutes of sexual assault prevention and 

response content focusing on addressing definitions, roles, policies, gender issues, 

safety measures, and bystander intervention to new supervisors at the senior 

Airman level.

 Non-commissioned Officer Academy: The Non-commissioned Officer Academy is 

the second level of enlisted professional military education and prepares technical 

sergeants to be professional, warfighting Airmen who can manage and lead Air 

Force units in the employment of air, space, and cyberspace power. Currently, 

there are 11 Non-commissioned Officer Academies worldwide. The Noncommissioned Officer Academy provides 50 minutes of sexual assault prevention 

and response content focusing on professional relationships, a professional 

environment free of sexual assault, offender accountability, and victim empathy to 

junior enlisted leaders at the technical sergeant level.

 Senior Non-commissioned Officer Academy: The Senior Non-commissioned 

Officer Academy is the third level of enlisted professional military education. The 
10

Senior Non-commissioned Officer Academy prepares senior non-commissioned 

officers to lead the enlisted force in the employment of air, space, and cyberspace 

power in support of the United States national security objectives. The Senior 

Non-commissioned Officer Academy is located at the Maxwell‐Gunter Annex, 

Alabama. Senior Non-commissioned Officer Academy provides 60 minutes of 

sexual assault prevention and response content focusing on fostering an 

environment of dignity and respect, victim psychology, and the impact of sexual 

assault on readiness to senior enlisted leaders at the master sergeant level and 

above.

 Squadron Officer School: Squadron Officer School builds upon knowledge and 

skills imparted through pre‐commissioning and professional experience to provide 

the Air Force with captains who comprehend and internalize the service’s core 

values and the ethics and principles of officership that are so distinct to the 

profession of arms and service in the Air Force. The Squadron Officer School 

produces graduates who are able to: 1) lead at the tactical level employing the full 

range of leadership behaviors necessary to achieve success; 2) exercise 

leadership that reflects the Air Force Core Values and employ concepts of 

accountability, diversity, and coaching/mentoring to facilitate effective mission 

execution; 3) employ problem‐solving, decision‐making, and process improvement 

tools to meet mission challenges at the tactical level; 4) explain the broad 

capabilities and roles airpower plays in joint and coalition operations to achieve 

national objectives; and 5) forge professional relationships to facilitate teamwork at 

the tactical level.

The Squadron Officer School Program incorporates sexual assault prevention and 

response content into two “Profession of Arms” lessons that discuss the 

dimensions of wellness and commanding well. Both lessons are integrated within 

the broader leadership context that is central to the Squadron Officer School 

mission. The “Wellness” lesson covers the impact of sexual assault on the 

individual, the unit, and the Air Force and includes General Welsh’s August 2012 

video in which he discusses his priorities and focuses specifically on ending sexual 

assaults. Also discussed in the context of leadership, wellness, and helping 

victims are the restricted and unrestricted reporting options, and supporting victims 

of sexual assault as a leader charged with executing the Air Force mission. The 

“Commanding Well” lesson includes graduated wing/group commanders who 

provide students a snapshot of how they commanded successfully and then allows 

students an extended question and answer period. The topic of sexual assault 

arises in nearly every discussion and panel member responses reflect their 

command experience with combatting sexual assault. Four more “Profession of 

Arms” lessons (Officer and the Law, Core Values and Airmanship, Ethical Warrior, 

and Professional Relations) reinforce the accomplishment of the above objectives 

by emphasizing the officer's responsibility to protect Airmen and provide freedom 

from all forms of abuse.

 Air Command And Staff College: Air Command and Staff College is the Air Force’s 

intermediate officer professional military education institution and prepares field‐
11

grade officers of all services (primarily majors), international officers, and United 

States government civilians for positions of higher responsibility within the military 

and other government arenas. The Air Command and Staff College Program 

produces graduates who are able to: 1) lead and command in complex, dynamic, 

and ambiguous operational environments; 2) apply military theory in general and 

airpower theory in particular to the development of operational‐level strategies; 3) 

plan for the integration and employment of joint forces at the operational level in 

whole‐of‐government operations across the spectrum of war and conflict; 4) 

articulate capabilities and limitations of service and joint organizations in the 

conduct of war at the operational level; 5) apply research methodologies and 

critical thinking skills to analyze issues of concern to the war fighter and/or broader 

defense community; and 6) forge professional relationships that facilitate efficient, 

effective, and collaborative accomplishment of assigned tasks.

The Air Command and Staff College Program explores the ethical, moral and legal 

implications of sexual assault prevention and response in its capstone leadership 

course, the practice of command. For example, mid‐career professionals play the 

role of a squadron commander addressing their squadrons on a variety of real 

world scenarios including cases of possible sexual harassment in the workplace 

and alleged rape in the dormitory. In another lesson, seminars explore the effects 

of sexual assault prevention and response on good order and discipline and 

morale in discussions with serving first sergeants from Maxwell Air Force Base and 

Gunter Annex, Alabama.

 Air War College: Air War College, the Air Force’s senior officer professional 

military education institution, prepares officers from each United States military 

service (lieutenant colonels and colonels), senior civilian employees of federal 

government agencies, and officers from the international community. The Air War 

College Program produces graduates who are able to: 1) lead successfully at the 

strategic level in a joint and coalition environment, exhibiting the traits essential to 

the profession of arms and promoting the proper strategic employment of airpower; 

2) develop military strategies that, in concert with other instruments of national 

power, achieve the goals of national security strategy; 3) analyze complex political‐

military situations and clearly articulate strategic thought, orally and in writing, from 

a joint perspective; and 4) capitalize, as senior leaders, upon diverse personal and 

professional relationships forged from the broader education.

In Air War College, students learn about the latest data regarding sexual assault 

prevalence, reporting, and convictions. The Air Force has placed an emphasis on 

the critical need for leaders to understand and take the lead on this problem. In 

addition, these future senior leaders are guided through learning materials on the 

neurobiology of trauma to increase their understanding of victim response and 

behaviors that may seem to contradict normal expectations of victims (e.g. not 

fighting back, continuing to date offender, reporting months later, laughing, joking, 

etc.). The course addresses offender dynamics and cultural indicators of higher 

risks for sexual assault. The training includes interactive exercises, discussions, 

and thought provoking videos.

1.3 Describe your progress in implementing core competencies and learning

objectives for all sexual assault prevention and response training to ensure

consistency throughout the military. If already implemented, describe how you

are monitoring and assessing outcomes.

The Air Force educates officer, enlisted, and civilian Airmen on the continuum of harm so 

they can identify and eliminate behaviors that may lead to sexual assault. Starting from 

first contact with a recruiter and continuing through an Airman’s professional military 

education, the Air Force builds upon established sexual assault prevention and response

core competencies and learning objectives for all training. 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office Training Reviews: The Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office continually evaluates sexual assault 

prevention and response learning objectives and training materials. During 2014, the 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office completed a review of Air Force enlisted 

professional military education and found that all core competencies are addressed and 

learning objectives are met (reference question 1.2 for specific details on enlisted 

professional military education). Additionally, the office is in the process of conducting 

similar reviews on accessions training and officer professional military education 

(reference question 1.2 for specific details on officer professional military education). 

During 2015, all training and education materials will be reviewed with plans to 

synchronize content to ensure the materials build upon each other and reduce content 

repetitiveness. Content will also be evaluated to ensure that it is appropriate for the 

Airman’s rank. Finally, assessments are incorporated in every course to evaluate 

students’ learning and skills development.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Course Revision: In March 2013, to ensure 

consistent learning and standardization throughout the force, the Air Force began an 

extensive review to monitor and assess outcomes for all sexual assault prevention and 

response training. This effort began with a major overhaul of the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator Course, taught at Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base,

Alabama. The revised course incorporated Department of Defense core competencies 

and learning objectives and expanded from five to eight training days. The course is 

currently offered to both sexual assault response coordinators and full-time sexual assault 

prevention and response victim advocates.

The updated course employs adult learning theory with an emphasis on andragogy, 

independent, self-directed, experiential learning, which shifted the focus of instruction to 

process-based learning, through scenarios, role-plays, and group interaction. The entire 

course includes new learning objectives developed in partnership with the Air University 

Course Director. The new objectives increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of 

sexual assault response coordinators to effectively advocate for victims, serve as a key 

advisor to leadership, and strengthen collaboration. This revised course uses a 

pedagogical approach in modules such as budgeting, self-care, offender dynamics, 

ethics, facilitating dynamic presentations, and effective communication with leaders. 

Breakout sessions are conducted to emphasize key learning objectives. 
13

Assessments are used in the Air Force Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course to 

evaluate both content knowledge and process skills. A pre-test and post-test are 

conducted via computer and allow students and faculty to assess content knowledge as a 

result of attending the course. All courses in 2014 resulted in a positive shift in the class 

average as well as an improvement in every student’s score. Throughout the course,

small group sessions allow faculty members to appraise students’ skills by practicing 

scenarios and presentations. Additionally, peer and faculty feedback allow students to 

improve their victim response repertoire. 

In April 2014, representatives from the Office of the Secretary of Defense evaluated the 

Air Force Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course and determined it met all 

Department of Defense core competencies. More importantly, the representatives noted 

numerous elements of the course as best practices in training sexual assault response 

coordinators and recommended other Services use the Air Force’s course as a model in 

developing their own Service specific courses. 

Pre-Command Course Revision: In 2014, the Air Force also evaluated and revamped 

the Pre-Command Course taught at Air University. Prior to taking command, wing and 

group commanders attend this course and receive three hours of sexual assault 

prevention and response training. The training consists of presentations about sexual 

assault prevalence and reporting data, the neurobiology of trauma, sexual assault 

prevention, and offender dynamics. The course also provides commanders with 

recommendations of what they can implement at their base to lead sexual assault 

prevention efforts. Additionally, a pre-test is administered to prospective students to 

determine a commanders’ baseline sexual assault prevention knowledge. The pre-test 

results are used to customize and individualize course content to meet the course’s 

knowledge and training objectives. At the conclusion of the course, post-assessments 

are administered to determine how effectively commanders grasp the material. In 2014, 

the results showed an improvement in overall class score and correct answers given for 

each question, and an increase in leaders’ self-assessment of their confidence to address 

sexual assault prevention and response in their units.

1.4 Describe your progress in ensuring commanders receive training on sexual

assault prevention and response during pre-command courses.

Command positions come with great authority and responsibility. Therefore, Air Force

wing and group commanders selected to command attend a dedicated course with 

specialized training focused on a wide variety of areas in which commanders bear 

responsibility, to include sexual assault prevention and response. Commanders are 

charged and held accountable for creating and fostering a culture of dignity and respect 

along with a climate free of sexual assault. 

Commanders’ specialized training focuses on sexual assault prevention, supporting 

victims, and setting the standard for dignity and respect for all. To achieve this goal, 

commanders traditionally receive three hours of sexual assault prevention and response 

training. In fiscal year 2014, Airmen assigned to the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention 
14

and Response Office conducted the training to 375 participants. 

During the course, future commanders are guided through learning materials on the 

neurobiology of trauma to increase their understanding of victim response and behaviors 

that may seem to contradict normal expectations of victims (e.g. not fighting back, 

continuing to date offender, reporting months later, laughing, joking, etc.). The course 

addresses offender dynamics and cultural indicators of higher risks to sexual assault. 

The training includes interactive exercises, discussions, and thought provoking videos. 

Beginning in April 2014, the course incorporated a pre- and post-assessment of learning 

objectives. The pre-test was scored prior to the class and allowed facilitators to 

emphasize areas where students scored poorly. Additionally, the pre-assessment results 

enabled facilitators to customize and personalize the content for each class. Since their 

inception, the assessment of post-test scores has shown an improvement in knowledge 

for each class and students have indicated an increase in confidence in their ability to 

lead on sexual assault prevention and response issues. 

In fiscal year 2015, the Air Force Sexual Assault and Prevention Office will incorporate the 

following updates into the curriculum for the commanders’ course: primary prevention 

measures, specific roles of squadron commanders in case management groups, and 

professional and social retaliation.

1.5 Describe your progress in incorporating specific sexual assault prevention 

and response monitoring, measures, and education into readiness and safety

forums (e.g., quarterly training guidance, unit status reports, safety briefings).

Every sexual assault prevention and response training course addresses prevention and 

response as essential to mission readiness. Unit training managers use the Advanced 

Distributed Learning System to track completion of annual and pre-deployment training for 

Airmen. In addition to annual training, many Airmen attend sexual assault prevention and 

response seminars during the first term Airmen training, Right Start for Newcomer’s

Orientation Program, key spouses events, post deployment training, and commander’s 

calls as part of readiness and safety measures. 

Deployed Training: During 2014, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Stand Down 

Days were introduced in the combat area of interest. All six deployed Air Expeditionary 

Wings completed a temporary stoppage of combat operations to ensure deployed Airmen 

continued to receive sexual assault training. Deployed Airmen outside the standard Air 

Force structure received the training through a video, produced by and featuring the 

Commander, United States Air Forces Central Command. The video is fifteen minutes in 

length and spoke solely about the responsibility of Airman to uphold the climate of 

fairness, dignity, and respect while deployed in a combat environment. 

Monitoring Measures: The sexual assault prevention and response submission was 

introduced into the Senior Leader Dashboard metrics in fiscal year 2014. The purpose of 

the sexual assault prevention and response submission was to inform Air Force senior 

leaders on major sexual assault issues and concerns during the reporting and legal 
15

process along with program process improvements. Major initiatives of the Senior Leader

Dashboard include creating Air Force sexual assault prevention and response strategy;

producing the President of the United States Report; creating accession screening tools;

reviewing and synchronizing sexual assault prevention and response training; and 

creating better synergy and collaboration with equal opportunity.

1.6 Describe your progress in exploring expansion of sexual assault prevention 

and response training to include Recruit Sustainment Programs, Student Flight 

Programs, and for National Guard prior to arrival at Basic Training.

Recruit Sustainment Programs: In April 2013, the Air Force instituted improved 

protections that begin as soon as an Air Force applicant meets with a recruiter. 

Recruiters brief new recruits on the definitions of sexual assault, sexual harassment, 

unprofessional relationships, maltreatment, poor training, and the requirement to report 

misconduct in the recruitment phase. The recruiter’s goal is to ensure applicants 

understand that the Air Force does not and will not tolerate these negative behaviors. 

The recruiters also ensure new recruits understand the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program reporting procedures should they happen to be 

subjected to or witness anyone carrying out these offenses. To guarantee the message is 

received, the Air Force gives the same briefing again after the recruits arrive at Basic 

Military Training.

As a means to enhance recruiter quality, the Air Force screens applicants for duty. As 

approved by Secretary of Defense in June 2014, with actions on track for implementation 

no later than January 5, 2015, mandated evaluations for recruiters will also include three 

screening measures for criminal history information, military records checks, and wholeperson assessments by someone in the members' chain of command. Initial screening 

will be run on all recruiters at time of application/selection for recruiting duty. Additional 

screens will be accomplished when a recruiter changes duty station or every three years, 

whichever is less. Maintaining only professional relationships is "The Cardinal Rule" of 

recruiting and remains the most briefed and trained topic to Air Force recruiters; briefed 5 

times in initial recruiting schoolhouse training and approximately 14 times prior to 

certification.

Student Flight Programs: At Air Education and Training Command installations, 

nineteen sexual assault response coordinators provide an array of expanded sexual 

assault prevention and response training, in addition to the basics provided in Newcomer’s 

Orientation Programs, annual training, and stand down days. The trainings include 

monthly student briefings and discussions beginning on the first day of official training, 

monthly sexual assault case mock trials, quarterly transition student briefings for students 

awaiting training for an extended period of time, and a panel discussion with senior 

officers on response to sexual assault victims. 

National Guard: The National Guard plans to discuss their progress in expanding their 

sexual assault prevention and response training in their annual report submission to 

include the following: 
16

 Recruiters are included in all education and awareness programs and allowed to 

participate in victim advocate or recruiting specific trainings. 

 Every month sexual assault response coordinators hold training at their

Newcomer’s Orientation and Student Flight focusing on available reporting options, 

the role of sexual assault coordinators, and the zero tolerance policy for sexual 

assault within the military. 

 New recruits meet with a sexual assault response coordinator or alternate sexual 

assault response coordinator as part of their Basic Military Training Course’s outprocessing requirement reiterating sexual assault prevention and response

training. 

1.7 Describe your efforts to establish and implement policies that prevent

individuals convicted of a Federal or State offense of rape, sexual abuse, sexual

assault, incest, or other sexual offenses, from being provided a waiver for

commissioning or enlistment in the Armed Forces.

In 2014, Air Force Instruction 36-2002, Regular Air Force and Special Category 

Accessions, was updated along with Air Force Recruiting Service Instruction Guidance 

stating that members convicted of an offense or an attempt to commit an offense as 

described above are not authorized a waiver for commissioning or enlistment in any 

branch of the Armed Forces. Measures have been in place to screen for these offenses 

for over 18 years.

1.8 Describe your progress in establishing a transition policy that ensures

Service member sponsorship, unit integration, and immediate assignment into a

chain of command. If already established, describe findings and

recommendations.

The Airman and Family Readiness Center Relocation Assistance Program's goal is to 

ease the personal and family stressors associated with a permanent change of station by 

providing assistance, counseling, sponsorship training and education. Services provided 

are in accordance with Public Laws, Department of Defense Instructions, and Air Force 

Instructions. 

Air Force Instruction 36-3009, Airman and Family Readiness Centers, requires predeparture and post-arrival services to members’ families on a variety of topics. Special 

emphasis will be provided for personnel with less than four years of service or overseas 

assignments. 

The Air Force is the only service that mandates the use of a virtual sponsorship program 

called eSponsorship Training. Unit leaders are appointed by unit commanders and 

trained by the Airman and Family Readiness Center relocation expert. Unit leaders 

assign and train sponsors to assist inbound personnel. 

Air Force Instructions 36-2102, Base Level Relocation Procedures, and 36-2103, 
17

Individualized Newcomer Treatment and Orientation Program, address the eSponsorship 

Program as a tool used to ensure service members obtain personal assistance through 

sponsorship. The purpose of sponsorship includes welcoming and assisting newly 

arrived Airmen and their families and helps to reduce stress and anxiety as they integrate 

into the organization. Our initial military training curriculums have incorporated an 

understanding of sexual assault and resources available to our Airmen during the 

vulnerable transition from a training environment to a permanent location. 

The base Individualized Newcomer Treatment and Orientation Program partners with the 

Airman and Family Readiness Center to design and run a base newcomer orientation 

program for civilians, military, and their family members. The program covers an 

introduction to the wing, unit missions, base resources, safety, health, substance abuse, 

equal opportunity and sexual harassment policy, security, and safeguarding of military 

information. 

1.9 Describe your progress in ensuring commanders conduct an organizational

climate assessment within 120 days of assuming command and annually

thereafter. Include policy for providing results to the next level in the chain of

command.

In December 2013, the Headquarters Air Force Manpower, Personnel and Services 

published a memorandum directing Equal Opportunity Offices to ensure each commander 

or director at the major commands, numbered Air Forces, wings, groups, and units 

receive or initiate an organizational climate assessment within 120 days after assumption 

of command and every 12 months thereafter. Once the survey is complete, the 

Department of Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute generates a report and 

forwards the results to the local Equal Opportunity Office and the requesting commander 

or director, or the next higher superior in the chain of command. In the memorandum

dated December 2013, the requesting commander or director is responsible for briefing 

the survey results to the higher superior in her or his chain of command within 30 days 

and to unit members within 60 days. In fiscal year 2014, the Air Force administered 

78,817 surveys to Airmen across the force.

1.10 Describe your progress in establishing a clear policy to reduce the impact of

high-risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities to sexual assaults and other

crimes against persons (e.g., alcohol consumption, barracks visitation, transition

policy). Include efforts to collaborate with law enforcement, alcohol and

substance abuse officers, and etc.

In May 2014, the Secretary of Defense published a memorandum directing the

Secretaries of the Military Departments, in conjunction with the Chiefs of the Military 

Services and the National Guard Bureau, to update, integrate and expand genderresponsive and culturally competent programs for leaders and service members. The 

memorandum’s aim was to address healthy relationships, active bystander intervention,

and social courage, with the emphasis that the Core Values should anchor all actions in 

order to support the establishment of a culture of mutual respect. This produced a 

number of summary products relating to the current request associated with sexual 
18

assault and other related behaviors.

An extensive review was conducted on Air Force policies relating to cultural factors 

contributing to sexual assault prevention and response. A comprehensive look at other 

critical areas were also reviewed: training, education and development, Basic Military 

Training, surveys and assessments, and many support programs to gain insight on the 

complex nature of this issue of cultural elements and how to reduce impact of high-risk 

behaviors and personal vulnerabilities. Efforts across the Air Force are designed to 

enhance and sustain a healthy culture of respect and dignity for all Airmen. 

Simultaneously, Headquarters Air Force Manpower, Personnel and Services led a 

working group consisting of members from the following agencies: Army and Air Force 

Exchange Service, security forces, public affairs, sexual assault prevention and response, 

judge advocate, community action integration board and the surgeon general. The 

working group reviewed the existing Air Force Alcohol Beverage Policy and developed a 

communications plan with key messages for commanders to interact with squadron 

commanders, base populace, and local community leaders. 

Air Force Instruction 34-219, Alcoholic Beverage Policy, was revised to deglamorize 

behavior associated with excessive drinking, foster a culture of professionalism and avoid 

inappropriate conduct to ensure Airmen are not vulnerable to an unprofessional work 

environment. Additionally, it also included bystander intervention training for alcohol 

servers and highlighted responsible sales practices to include the following:

1. Bystander intervention training for all alcohol servers

2. Establishing standard hours for alcohol sales on every Air Force installation

3. Requiring the installation commander to work with community partners on 

responsible alcohol sales practices and bystander invention training for alcohol 

servers

Additionally, the cross-functional Total Force Professionalism Working Group is working

to infuse content across the Air Force in a number of key formal and informal 

developmental "touchpoints" to enhance professionalism, ethical decision-making and the 

development of trust-based leadership competencies. This content is designed to 

promote respect, professional behaviors, and promote healthy environments of trust and 

commitment for all service members with the intent to reducing undesirable behaviors. 

1.11 Describe your progress in implementing the 2014 Department of Defense

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy.

During fiscal year 2014, the Air Force began to synchronize its prevention strategy and 

tasks in accordance with the Department of Defense 2014-2016 Sexual Assault 

Prevention Strategy released in May 2014. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention 

Summit is planned for January 2015 to generate updates to the Air Force’s 2010 Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Roadmap and to provide prevention tools for 

commanders and supervisors. 
19

The letter distributed to the Department of Defense, titled 2014-2016 Sexual Assault 

Prevention Strategy, contained three immediate tasks for the Air Force. During August 

and September 2014, cross-functional teams accomplished two of the three immediate 

tasks that were delivered with the strategy. Those teams identified measures to further 

strengthen our approach to advancing and sustaining appropriate culture and conducted 

a review of Air Force alcohol policies. The teams identified opportunities in the areas of 

education, training, force development, assessment and support programs where 

enhancements are being made to advance and sustain the Air Force culture. The review 

of alcohol related policies identified the need for five new policy updates that are in 

staffing. In response to the third immediate task, which is due in January 2015, another 

team is currently investigating options for improving reporting for male victims. 

The Department of Defense 2014-2016 Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy contained 14 

tasks of varying length that applied to the Air Force. Of the applicable tasks, five of the 

tasks are continual tasks, five are expected to be complete within one year, two are 

expected to be complete within two years and two are expected to be complete within 

three years. The Air Force has programs consistent with each of the continual tasks 

already in place and is on track to complete all of the remaining tasks.

At the end of fiscal year 2014 the Air Force status for the five applicable continuous tasks 

was as follows:

 Assess, implement core competencies, and continue to update all sexual 

assault prevention-related training and programs based on latest evidenced 

based research, practices, and lessons learned. Air Force sexual assault 

prevention and response training programs are under constant review. During 

fiscal year 2014 updates were completed for the Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinator, Wing and Group Commander Courses. In addition, the material used 

for force-wide annual training took advantage of the latest learning methods and 

sexual assault prevention information available. Updates are underway on training 

for squadron commanders and volunteer victim advocates.

 Establish collaboration forums with external experts, federal partners, 

Military Services, advocacy organizations, and educational institutions to 

capture and share prevention best practices and lessons learned in 

accordance with Federal law and Department regulations: During August 

2014, the Air Force conducted its annual sexual assault response coordinator 

training in conjunction with the National Sexual Assault Conference in Pittsburgh, 

Pennsylvania. This venue allowed Air Force sexual assault response coordinators 

to interact with leaders in the sexual assault prevention and response field. In 

addition, Air Force sexual assault prevention and response leadership, at the 

invitation of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office, met with leaders from the Centers for Disease Control Prevention 

Office to discuss how the Air Force can adapt their prevention model. A leading 

expert from that office has been hired to assist with the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention Summit planned for January 2015. 
20

 Develop sexual assault prevention strategies and programs which employ 

peers, near-peers (i.e., Service member one rank higher or somewhat senior 

in position of authority), and social influencers: The Air Force-wide Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Stand Down Day that was conducted during the 

summer of fiscal year 2014 included a 2-hour small group session led by peer 

leaders. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office developed 

training materials used by installation sexual assault response coordinators to train 

the peer leaders prior to the stand down. In addition, the peer leaders were 

provided with training materials to standardize the information delivered. The 

success of this effort has led the Air Force to include peer-led discussion modules 

as part of its training to be delivered in fiscal year 2015.

 

 Incorporate specific sexual assault monitoring, measures, and education into 

normal command training, readiness assessments, and safety forums (e.g., 

sexual assault prevention and response stand downs): During fiscal years 

2013 and 2014 the Air Force conducted sexual assault prevention and response 

stand downs. In addition, sexual assault prevention and response has been 

incorporated into every level of command training. The Wing and Group 

Commander Course was updated in fiscal year 2014. The Air Force Squadron 

Commander Course was under update as the year closed.

 Assess transition policies that ensure Service member sponsorship, unit 

integration, and immediate assignment into a chain of command: Air Force 

Instruction 36-2102, Base Level Relocation Procedures and Air Force Instruction 

36-2103, Individualized Newcomer Treatment and Orientation Program address 

the eSponsorship Program as a tool used to ensure service members obtain 

personal assistance through sponsorship. The purpose of sponsorship includes 

welcoming and assisting newly arrived Airmen and their families and helps to 

reduce stress and anxiety as they integrate into the organization. Our initial military 

training curriculums have incorporated an understanding of sexual assault and 

resources available (24/7 Safe Helpline) to our Airmen during this vulnerable 

transition time from a training environment to permanent installation.

At the end of fiscal year 2014 the Air Force status for the five applicable tasks due for 

completion by May 2015 are as follows:

 Implement the 2014-2016 Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention 

Strategy: This work is ongoing as described above and below and is expected to 

be complete in the timelines specified.

 Conduct specialized leader sexual assault prevention training: All Air Force 

leadership courses have sexual assault prevention and response specific training. 

During fiscal year 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Office began a review of all sexual assault prevention and response training 

curriculum. By the end of the year both the Wing and Group Commander Courses 

were updated and work had begun on the Squadron Commander Course. During

fiscal year 2015, the Squadron Commander Course will be updated along with first 
21

line supervisor training.

 Develop and expand gender-responsive and culturally competent programs 

(e.g., mentorship, initial entry) to address healthy relationships and active 

bystander intervention —with the emphasis that the Core Values should 

anchor all actions— in order to support the establishment of a culture of 

mutual respect: In August and September 2014, an informal working group 

developed a plan for creating and implementing these programs. The working 

group reviewed Air Force policies and made adjustments as appropriate in areas 

that can advance the development of healthy cultures. In addition, the team 

identified a number of methods and approaches for training, education and 

development, assessment, and support programs specifically designed to 

strengthen processes and competencies consistent with social courage, adherence 

to standards, ethical decision-making, empathy, and healthy relationships, all 

grounded in our Core Values. 

 Review and if necessary expand Department of Defense and Service alcohol 

policies to address factors beyond individual use (e.g., pricing, outlet 

density, Arizona Safer Bars Alliance): During late summer 2014, a crossfunctional working group reviewed existing Air Force alcoholic beverage related 

policies to determine if there were updates required. The group found that 

although the Air Force has had a long-standing alcohol de-glamorization program 

in place, there were areas for improvement. The working group identified and 

began work on five areas where the existing program policies required revision. 

First, the latest research-based findings on reducing alcohol-related violence will be 

provided to commanders to better inform local policy development. Bystander 

intervention training will be required for alcohol servers on every Air Force 

installation. Standard hours will be established for the sale of alcohol on every Air 

Force installation. Installation commanders will be required to work with 

community partners on responsible alcohol sales practices and bystander 

intervention training for alcohol servers off installation. Finally, the authority for 

lowering drinking age on installations where the host nation has a lower drinking 

age than the United States will be elevated to the Major Command Commander (4-

star General Officer).

 Develop a process for command review of information on sex-related 

offenses in personnel service records of members of the Armed Forces (for 

purpose of reducing likelihood that repeat offenses will escape notice) in 

accordance with section 1745 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

fiscal year 2014: On September 17, 2014, an update to Air Force Instruction 36-

2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, was published. This update 

mandated that commanders will ensure complaints of sex-related offenses against 

the Airman assigned to their command, regardless of grade, resulting in conviction 

by court-martial, non-judicial punishment or punitive administrative action (for 

purposes of this guidance memorandum a punitive administrative action is defined 

as a letter of reprimand) are annotated in the Airman’s evaluation, specifically, on 

the enlisted performance report, officer performance report or permanent training 
22

report which will be filed in the Airman’s personnel service record. It also 

mandated that the commander of a unit will review the personnel record of every 

Airman, regardless of grade, assigned and/or transferred into his or her command 

to ensure knowledge of and familiarization with the Airman’s history of sex-related 

offenses in order to reduce the likelihood that repeat offenses will escape the 

notice of subsequent and higher level commanders. This responsibility will be 

conducted by the immediate commander of the Airman at the lowest unit level. 

These responsibilities may not be delegated.

At the end of fiscal year 2014 the Air Force status for the two applicable tasks due for 

completion by May 2016 was as follows:

 Explore the development of (enhancement of existing) sexual assault 

deterrence measures and messaging (e.g., publishing court-martial results): 

Air Force significant sexual assault trial results from 2010 through November 2014

have been posted on the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s website. The Air 

Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office also provides the link to the 

sexual assault prosecutions on their website. For fiscal year 2015, the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office intends to deliver this information 

to Airmen through other venues such as training. 

 Institute recurring senior leadership meetings (e.g., quarterly field 

officer/general officer drumbeat, leader summits) to review sexual assault 

prevention programs (not case management group meeting): The Under 

Secretary of the Air Force and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force host a 

monthly Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Council attended by 

representatives from every Air Force major command that addresses current 

topics, shares best practices, and addresses issues from the field. 

At the end of fiscal year 2014 the Air Force status for the two applicable tasks due for 

completion in May 2017 was as follows:

 Implement policies that appropriately address high-risk situations targeted 

by potential offenders: Late in fiscal year 2014, planning began for an Air Force

Sexual Assault Prevention Summit to be held during fiscal year 2015. Airmen from 

across the Air Force will come together with experts in sexual assault prevention to 

develop tools to address prevention and offender dynamics. As appropriate, 

policies will be updated based upon that dialogue to address high-risk situations 

targeted by potential offenders.

 Identify and implement incentives for the prevention of sexual assault and 

other related behaviors (e.g., alcohol abuse, sexual harassment, hazing): 

Upon completion of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention Summit in January

2015 the Air Force will update and then execute an improved sexual assault 

prevention strategy. As noted, alcohol policies will be updated to limit availability 

and make sure that servers have been trained on bystander intervention. To 

improve the way leaders approach the spectrum of harm the Air Force will begin 
23

cross-training equal opportunity and sexual assault prevention and response

professionals to improve the commander’s ability to identify emerging climate 

issues earlier. Finally, during fiscal year 2015, the Air Force annual training will 

include blocks on victim empathy and interaction to improve the way Airmen treat 

each other.

The Air Force is on track to complete the tasks laid out in the Department of Defense 

2014-2016 Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy within the timelines provided.

1.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to

improve interoperability.

In August 2014, the Director, Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 

and members of her staff attended an Office of the Secretary Defense hosted visit to the 

Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the visit was to meet 

with members of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention Division to discuss sexual 

assault prevention measures. 

During this visit, the Centers for Disease Control provided the sexual assault prevention 

and response leaders an overview of sexual violence prevention. The overview included 

a discussion of alcohol policies and an overview of the military portion of the Prevalence 

of Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Violence Among Active Duty Women 

and Wives of Active Duty Men study. The Centers for Disease Control educated the team 

on prevention and delivered presentations on bystander intervention strategies and an 

overview of the Center for Disease Control’s Rape Prevention and Education Program. 

These briefings included a discussion on shifting efforts to a more robust focus on 

prevention, recommending qualities of a prevention expert, and how to apply a prevention 

strategy. The trip concluded with an informative discussion on a way ahead and future 

collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control. The trip afforded valuable insight on 

required qualities for a highly qualified expert and advice on developing our own 

prevention roadmap.

The information and lessons learned from this visit are instrumental in furthering the Air 

Force’s development of its own prevention strategy and in conducting our first Air Force

Sexual Assault Prevention Summit in January 2015.

In August 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course was held in 

conjunction with the National Sexual Assault Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

During the first two days of the combined course and conference Air Force personnel 

instructed candidates on ethics and Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database training. 

The final three days were spent at the National Sexual Assault Conference. This 

conference is one of the finest learning opportunities for our sexual assault response 

coordinators to gain the continuing education credits that are necessary to maintain 

credentials and learn from some of the leading presenters regarding sexual assault in the 

country.

1.13 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective prevention

methods and programs, including how these efforts will help your Service plan,

resource and make progress in your Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Program.

In January 2015, the Director, Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 

will host a Sexual Assault Prevention Summit targeting the development of future 

prevention measures and programs. The 2015 Sexual Assault Prevention Summit will be 

the first event since 2007 dedicated directly to sexual assault prevention. In 2007, the Air 

Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Risk Reduction Symposium developed bystander 

intervention training, which is still an active prevention measure instilled in Airman today. 

Unlike the 2007 event, our Sexual Assault Prevention Summit will pair 150 Airmen with 

industries’ leading prevention experts. The Air Force is hopeful that this Summit will 

operationalize the latest research from the academic community on sexual violence 

prevention into enduring prevention measures. 

Upon completion of the summit, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Office will translate the information and education into an updated 2015 Air Force Sexual 

Assault Prevention Strategy. The 2015 Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy will 

become the foundational guidance in developing consistent and effective prevention 

training for implementation throughout the Air Force.

2. Line of Effort 2—Investigation—The objective of investigation is to

“achieve high competence in the investigation of sexual assault.”

2.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Investigation Endstate: “investigative

resources yield timely and accurate results.”

Overview: The Air Force is committed to achieving high competence in every 

investigation of sexual assault, which begins with an unrestricted report and an 

independent and professional investigation by the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations. The Air Force’s investigative resources are structured to yield timely and 

accurate results based on scientifically informed techniques to maximize the recovery of 

physical and testimonial evidence while minimizing the potential for victim retraumatization. The Air Force has developed and implemented specialized investigative 

capabilities that enable professional, responsive, and accurate investigations that are 

independent from the chain of command. Reference questions 2.2 and 2.4 for an outline 

of this new capability. Understanding the complexity of sex crime cases, the Air Force 

established a worldwide special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability, primarily 

comprised of 24 sexual assault investigators. The special victim’s investigation and 

prosecution capability is comprised of a distinct, recognizable group of professionals who 

collaborate to ensure effective, timely, responsive worldwide victim support, and a 

capability to investigate and address sexual assault offenses in order to hold perpetrators 

appropriately accountable.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations bears sole responsibility for investigating all 

allegations of rape, sexual assault, non-consensual sodomy, aggravated sexual contact, 

and abusive sexual contact allegations over which the Air Force has investigative 

jurisdiction. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is committed to achieving high 

competence in every investigation of sexual assault and conducts these investigations 

free of command influence. In accordance with federal law, the Commander Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations is given the authority to independently open and conduct 

criminal investigations. Only the Secretary of the Air Force may direct the Air Force Office 

of Special Investigations to terminate an investigation not being conducted at the request 

of the Department of Defense Inspector General, and only the Department of Defense 

Inspector General may direct the Air Force Office of Special Investigations to terminate an 

investigation conducted at the direction of the Department of Defense Inspector General.

Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents use a Sexual Assault Investigative Plan 

Worksheet and Sufficiency Assessment Tool to draft written investigative plans. The tool 

was designed to focus collaboration between agents and military justice judge advocates. 

It allows them to integrate legal sufficiency (Manual for Courts-Martial Articles 120 and 80 

elements of proof) with investigative sufficiency (i.e., investigative activities apt to reveal 

information probative to the elements of the crimes). Forensic science consultants, 

agents with a master’s degree in forensic science, assist on all rape and sexual assault 

investigations. Agents leveraged the Department of Defense Inspector General’s ability 

to provide administrative subpoenas to obtain evidence in support of multiple sexual 

assault investigations in fiscal year 2014.

Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations has armed its field units with 
26

cutting-edge investigative tools. These new resources include state-of-the-art alternate 

lighting source equipment to greatly enhance field agents’ capabilities to detect the 

presence of forensic evidence at sexual assault crime scenes, new video cameras and 

digital single-lens reflex cameras, and crime scene sketching software in support of crime 

scene processing at 236 units worldwide. Agents assigned to Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ field units also now employ cyber tools to conduct limited field processing 

of digital and multimedia evidence. This capability enables agents to image both hard 

drives and cell phones in order to quickly collect probative information and identify 

additional investigative leads. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations purchased

evidence drying chambers in 2014 for 60 field units to facilitate the timely and thorough 

processing of forensic evidence to support sexual assault investigations. Drying 

chambers are used to dry and preserve bloodstained or wet biological evidence. 

The Department of Defense Inspector General reviewed a random sample of sexual 

assault cases closed in 2010 and published a report titled, Evaluation of the Military 

Criminal Investigative Organizations Sexual Assault Investigations. The published report 

concluded 89% of the investigations reviewed had met or exceeded its investigative 

standards. During 2014, the Department of Defense Inspector General reported on a new 

random review of sexual assault cases closed by the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations conducted in 2013, which found 100% of the investigations met or 

exceeded its investigative standards; no cases were returned for additional investigation 

activity. A direct comparison of the two Department of Defense Inspector General 

assessments clearly demonstrates an improvement in the quality of the Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ sexual assault investigations.

assault cases. It is imperative to note sexual assault investigations are independent and 

unique from one another, and ensuring agents conduct high quality investigations remains 

paramount. The chart above portrays the average and median length of adult sexual 

offense investigations closed by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in fiscal 

years 2013 and 2014. The commander’s new expectations and targets had driven the 

median length of adult sex offense investigations down to 88 days and the average length 

down to 128 days for cases closed during the last two months of fiscal year 2014. This 

bodes well for fiscal year 2015 and is a positive indication that future investigations will be 

both high quality and more timely than in past years. 

2.2 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim’s Investigation and 

Prosecution Capability for Military Criminal Investigation Offices.

Understanding the complexity of sexual crime cases, the Air Force established a 

worldwide special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability, comprised of a 

distinct, recognizable group of professionals who collaborate to ensure effective, timely, 

responsive worldwide victim support, and a capability to investigate and address sexual 

assault offenses in order to hold perpetrators appropriately accountable. This Air Force 

worldwide special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability is primarily comprised 

of 24 sexual assault investigators and nine special victims’ unit senior trial counsel. The 

24 sexual assault investigators have been stationed at locations with the highest sexual 

offense caseloads, where they serve as the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ 

primary special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability investigators and sexual 

assault investigation subject-matter experts. To the greatest extent possible, these 

investigators are the lead agents on sexual assault investigations within their units. All 

specially designated sexual assault investigators are required to complete the Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations’ Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program within 180 

days of assuming their duties. 

One of the 24 sexual assault investigator billets has been designated as the Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations’ Sexual Assault Investigations and Operations Consultant

and is located at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. The individual assigned to this billet is 

available to provide all Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ units with guidance on 

sexual assault investigation tools, techniques, and best practices. This agent also serves 

as the command’s focal point for special victim’s investigation and prosecution capabilities 

and works closely with the Air Force Judge Advocate’s Special Victims’ Unit Chief of 

Policy and Coordination. This agent may review recently opened, high-interest sexual 

assault cases to determine whether the owning unit’s investigative plan is sufficiently 

scoped to address all pertinent aspects of the allegation. The agent may also provide 

detailed advice and on-scene assistance for particularly complicated cases (e.g., those 

with serial offenders, complex evidentiary issues, etc.). The Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations has other investigations and operations consultants who assist field agents 

in conducting violent crime investigations, to include sexual assault cases. However, the 

sexual assault investigations and operations consultant serves as the primary Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations’ subject-matter expert for sexual offenses and focuses his 

or her field assistance on those investigative activities most likely to result in probative 

information or evidence for sexual assault cases. 
28

Another sexual assault investigator was assigned to the United States Air Force Special 

Investigations Academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and provides 

both basic and advanced sexual assault investigations training to Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations and Air Force judge advocate personnel. The remaining 22 sexual 

assault investigators are assigned to units based on the rate of annual sexual assault 

case openings over the preceding five years, agent manning levels at the supported 

installations, and investigative timeliness trends at the respective Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ unit. The installations with assigned sexual assault investigators 

currently include Joint Base San Antonio, Texas (3 agents); Tinker Air Force Base, 

Oklahoma (2 agents); Ramstein Air Base, Germany (2 agents); Peterson Air Force 

Base/United States Air Force Academy, Colorado (2 agents); Eglin Air Force 

Base/Hurlburt Field, Florida (2 agents); Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas (1 agent); 

Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi (1 agent); Lakenheath Air Base, United Kingdom (1 

agent); Kadena Air Base, Japan (1 agent); Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming 

(1 agent); Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (1 agent); Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana 

(1 agent); Joint Base Andrews, MD (1 agent); Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona (1 

agent); Travis Air Force Base, California (1 agent) and Minot Air Force Base, North 

Dakota (1 agent). The locations are adjusted as needed, based upon recent sexual 

assault case trends. Sexual assault investigators are supported by specialists 

(psychologists, forensic science consultants, polygraph examiners, criminal analysts, 

technical services, etc.) assigned to various Air Force Office of Special Investigations’

specialty centers around the world.

2.3 Describe your progress in implementing special victim’s investigation 

and prosecution capability case assessment protocol for open and closed

sexual assault, child abuse, and serious domestic violence cases.

All open investigations are regularly reviewed by experienced Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ agents both within the owning unit and at the intermediate headquarters 

level. Lead investigators are provided feedback throughout the investigation based on 

these reviews. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ Sexual Assault 

Investigations and Operations Consultant randomly reviews open sexual assault 

investigations and provides suggestions to investigators as appropriate. Finally, 

experienced agents assigned to the Investigations, Operations and Collections Nexus, a 

direct reporting unit to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and a Center of 

Excellence providing operational support to units, selectively review cases based on their 

complexity, potential for generating interest outside Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ channels or upon request. The Investigations, Operations and Collections 

Nexus has the authority to direct field units to take actions based on their review. 

In addition, in 2012, Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations began 

randomly selecting and reviewing between 10 and 15 percent of all criminal investigations 

closed each month. In 2014, the rate of randomly selected cases was increased to 25 

percent. These comprehensive reviews, which include sexual offenses, child abuse and 

serious domestic violence investigations, focus on ensuring cases are of high quality. 

Cases with deficiencies are returned to the appropriate field unit for additional 
29

investigative work. Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ random case 

review results are briefed monthly to senior Air Force Office of Special Investigations’

leaders, including the region commanders responsible for field investigations. Agency 

senior leaders also receive regular data pertaining to the timeliness of investigations. 

Case assessment information, together with timeliness data, helps Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ commanders maintain the oversight needed to ensure 

investigations are both high quality and timely.

The Department of Defense Inspector General reviewed a random sample of sexual 

assault cases closed in 2010 and published a report titled, Evaluation of the Military 

Criminal Investigative Organizations Sexual Assault Investigations. The published report 

concluded 89% of the investigations reviewed had met or exceeded in efforts to achieve 

the investigation endstate: “investigative resources yield timely and accurate results.” 

The Department of Defense Inspector General recently completed a random review of 

sexual assault cases closed by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in 2013 and 

100% met or exceeded its investigative standards; no cases were returned for additional 

investigation activity. A direct comparison of the two Department of Defense Inspector 

General assessments clearly demonstrates an improvement in the quality of the Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations’ sexual assault investigations.

2.4 Describe your progress in enhancing training for investigators of sexual

violence. Include efforts to establish common criteria, core competencies, and

measures of effectiveness, and to leverage training resources and expertise.

Criminal Investigator Training Program/Basic Special Investigations Course: Air 

Force Office of Special Investigations’ recruits receive their entry-level investigative 

training at the United States Air Force Special Investigations Academy at the Federal Law 

Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia. The United States Air Force Special 

Investigations Academy is charged with converting Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ training requirements into fielded capabilities. The Academy’s reach 

encompasses basic agent training and credentialing, as well as advanced investigation 

and wartime mission training. New Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ special 

agent recruits begin training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center with an 

11.5-week course called the Criminal Investigator Training Program. Trainees from 

almost all federal investigative agencies attend this course. The Criminal Investigator 

Training Program provides basic investigative training in law, interviewing, handling 

informants, evidence processing, search and seizure, arrest techniques, report writing, 

testifying, and surveillance. These skills are all applicable to conducting sexual assault 

investigations. 

Following the completion of the Criminal Investigator Training Program, Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ special agent recruits enter seven and half weeks of training in the 

Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ specific Basic Special Investigations Course. 

Topics of instruction taught in the Basic Special Investigations Course include: Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations’ organization and mission; ethics; investigative 

responsibility and jurisdiction; cognitive interviewing technique; interrogations; military law; 

crimes against persons (physical and sexual); liaison with other law enforcement 
30

agencies; the role of investigative experts; computer crimes; forensic sciences and 

cognitive biases. Like the Criminal Investigator Training Program, the curriculum taught in

the Basic Special Investigations Course is the foundation for running all sexual assault 

investigations. The Basic Special Investigations Course has received accreditation from 

both the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and the Community College of the Air 

Force. During fiscal year 2014, there were 158 graduates of the Criminal Investigator 

Training Program and Basic Special Investigations Course. 

Most Air Force Office of Special Investigations sex offense investigations training 

techniques are taught in five blocks of instruction in the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations Basic Special Investigations Course. More than 30 hours of classroom 

training are provided in these five blocks of instruction that specifically relate to 

conducting sex offense investigations. Below is a summary of each of the five blocks of 

instruction as well as the course’s mock sexual assault case (practical exercise).

 Characteristics of Evidence (Eight hours: Four-hour lecture and four-hour lab): 

This block of instruction provides an overview of the types of evidence and 

familiarization with class and individual characteristics identifiable in various types 

of physical and biological evidences. This information is the basis for developing 

deductive reasoning skills, as well as a greater appreciation of the probative and 

perishable nature of physical and biological evidence. It introduces requisite 

concepts (e.g., Locard’s Theory of Evidence Transfer) that are later built upon in 

the crime scene processing block of instruction.

 Crime Scene Processing (Six hours: Two-hour lecture and four-hour lab): This 

course builds upon the basic crime scene skills the students learned during the 

Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Criminal Investigator Training Program 

and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations Basic Special Investigations 

Course, Characteristics of Evidence block of instruction (above). The instruction 

familiarizes students with the contents and use of Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ crime scene handbook. It also introduces students to the basics of 

crime scene management and organization.

 Sexual Assault Investigations (Four and a half hours: Four-hour lecture and 30-

minute lab): This block of instruction identifies various issues encountered when 

investigating sexual assault in the Air Force. Article 120 of the Uniform Code of 

Military Justice, which includes the offenses of rape, sexual assault, aggravated 

sexual contact, and abusive sexual contact, is explained. The Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ policies pertaining to other offenses of a sexual nature are 

covered in detail. Department of Defense definitions and policy for sexual assaults 

are explained as is the Department of Defense restricted reporting policy and its 

impact on investigative activity. Students are exposed to the components of a 

sexual assault forensic examination and are taught the procedures used when 

collecting evidence from this examination.

 Difficult Sexual Assault Cases (One-hour lecture): This training topic addresses 

the various issues encountered during difficult sexual assault investigations, such 
31

as alcohol impairment, drug-facilitated sex offenses, and the special challenges 

posed by cases involving multiple suspects.

 Interviews and Interrogations (12 hours: Four-hour lecture and eight-hour lab): 

This block of instruction introduces students to the proper methods for preparing 

for interviews and interrogations. The training teaches students the proper way to 

provide rights advisements to suspects under Article 31, Uniform Code of Military 

Justice, and how to develop “themes” in suspect interrogations. It also emphasizes 

the need to carefully listen to information provided by victims, witnesses and 

suspects, and presents the procedures for documenting the results of interviews in 

written statements and investigative reports.

 Practical Exercise (30 hours): This is a mock sexual assault investigation that is 

conducted for the duration of the course. All aspects of an investigation are 

incorporated to include: victim interview(s), crime scene processing, medical staff 

interviews, consultations with forensic science consultants, consultations with staff 

judge advocates, consultation with other members of the special victim’s 

investigation and prosecution capability, working with sexual assault response 

coordinators, records checks, request for assistance from other agencies, witness 

interview(s), subject interview(s), briefing military leadership (commanders and first 

sergeants). 

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations established a Basic Extension 

Program in March 2012 to provide newly credentialed agents with enhanced 

knowledge and capabilities in core mission areas at the start of their careers by 

systematically building upon basic skills provided at the Criminal Investigator 

Training Program and Basic Special Investigations Course using fully interactive 

distance learning courses. The Basic Extension Program is formal on-the-job 

training that provides recently-credentialed agents with supervised training during 

their first fifteen months as a new special agent. The curriculum includes 70 hours 

of training directly related to sexual assault investigations. The Basic Extension 

Program covers areas related to sexual assault investigations including: 

interviews, interrogations, evidence, liaison, investigative writing, testifying, and 

operational planning. The Basic Extension Program has received Federal Law 

Enforcement Training Center accreditation.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations provides sexual assault response 

refresher training to all agents annually through its computer-based training 

system. This is an on-line web-based refresher-training course developed by 

Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations specifically for its agents. 

The course is designed to fulfill the Department of Defense requirement for 

periodic refresher training related to sexual assaults. Topics covered in the selfpaced course include: sexual assault response policies, victimology, 

understanding sex offenders, crime scene management, interview techniques, 

investigating difficult cases, recantation and false information, and working with 

victim advocates and sexual assault response coordinators. All Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ agents are required to complete this course annually. 
32

All Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents receive more than 225 hours 

of training directly related to conducting sexual assault investigations through the 

courses outlined above and are in compliance with the training requirements 

outlined in Section 585 of Public Law 112-81, Department of Defense Instruction 

6495.02, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Procedures, and 

Department of Defense Instruction 5505.18, Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault 

in the Department of Defense. 

Experienced agents routinely attend advanced courses. The courses pertain to, or 

contain information specifically related to sex offense investigations and include the 

following:

Air Force Office of Special Investigations Forensic Science Consultants Training 

Program: The Forensic Science Consultants Program is a one-year Air Force Institute of 

Technology Training Program for competitively selected special agents. FGraduates 

receive a Master of Forensic Sciences Degree from The George Mason University or the 

University of Florida. Students also complete a concurrent one-year fellowship in forensic 

medicine at the US Army Criminal Investigations Laboratory. Course work includes 

extensive training in the recognition and assessment of physical, biological, and medical 

evidence to resolve complex violent crimes, including sex offenses. Graduates from this 

program frequently assist field investigators with the forensic science aspects of major 

crimes of violence, including all rape and serious sexual assault cases. Additionally, they 

frequently provide training to field investigators on varied topics related to investigating 

violent crime, including sexual assaults. During fiscal year 2014, 16 agents graduated 

from the training program.

Air Force Office of Special Investigations Advanced General Criminal Investigations 

Course: The Advanced General Criminal Investigations Course is an in-residence twoweek course held at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center that is conducted by 

Air Force Office of Special Investigation’s Academy faculty. It encompasses a wide 

variety of topics relating to criminal investigations, including interviewing, photographing, 

processing crime scenes and sexual assault investigations (victim sensitivity, handling 

reports with inconsistencies, etc.). The target audience for this course is agents in 

supervisory positions. Students are provided 49 hours of instruction specifically related to 

sexual assault investigations. The course had 36 graduates in fiscal year 2014.

Special Agent Laboratory Training Course: This is a one-week in-residence course 

taught at the United States Army Criminal Investigations Laboratory located within the 

Defense Forensic Science Center at the Gillem Enclave in Forest Park, Georgia. The 

course is taught by laboratory experts assigned to United States Army Criminal 

Investigations Laboratory. The course consists of both lecture and hands-on training to 

acquaint experienced investigators with more advanced topics related to evidence 

recognition, evidence handling and preservation, as well as state-of-the-art forensic 

science protocols used to analyze physical and biological evidence. Several blocks of 

instruction pertain specifically to biological and physical evidence encountered in sexual 

offense investigations, including hair and fibers, blood, semen, sexual assault 
33

examinations, etc. The course is normally held two times each year and is open to all 

experienced criminal investigators in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. 

However, Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents who supervise major criminal 

investigations are most frequently selected to attend. The course size is limited to18 

agents. Two Air Force agents graduated from the course during fiscal year 2014.

Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program: In August 2012, the Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations established a new Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program to 

train both the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ special agents and Air Force 

prosecutors in advanced sexual assault investigation topics and techniques. The Sexual 

Crime Investigations Training Program serves as a robust platform to develop the crossdisciplinary skills necessary to establish the Air Force special victim’s investigation and 

prosecution capability required by the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 

2013, Section 573. The program is an eight-day, 64-hour course designed to provide 

advanced specialized training for criminal investigators and prosecutors. The advanced

topics taught at the program include cognitive bias, cognitive interviewing, topics on better 

understanding and treatment of victims of sexual assault, advanced topics on predatory 

behaviors of sexual assault perpetrators, advanced crime scene processing, special 

investigative techniques, domestic violence, and other topics. Investigators who have 

successfully completed the Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program will be 

identified through the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ Learning Management 

System. This will enable Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations to 

identify investigators who may serve within the special victim’s investigation and 

prosecution capability.

Each Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program class is comprised of 30 students (18

special agents, six Security Forces Joint Sexual Assault Team members and six judge 

advocates). The intermixing of agents, security forces and judge advocates fosters 

collaboration, enables students to discuss Air Force-specific policies, procedures and 

challenges throughout the course, and has proven critical to building the special victim’s 

investigation and prosecution capability across the Air Force. In fiscal year 2014, 83 

people graduated from the Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program. The Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations plans to conduct five iterations of Sexual Crime 

Investigations Training Program in fiscal year 2015 to provide advanced sexual assault 

training to an additional 30 Air Force judge advocates and 120 Air Force investigators. 

The Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program regularly receives some of the best 

student critiques of any of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ training courses. 

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation Board granted initial accreditation 

status to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations' Sexual Crime Investigations 

Training Program at a November 18-21, 2014 meeting in Glynco, Georgia. The board is 

the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To 

achieve accreditation, agencies submit to an independent review of their academy and 

program to ensure compliance with the Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation 

standards and procedures in the areas of: program administration, training staff, training 

development, and training delivery, with an additional 20 standards for academies. 

Accreditation is a cyclical process occurring every five years. Each year, agencies must 

submit annual reports in preparation for reaccreditation, which is a new and independent 
34

review of the academy and its program.

An Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ Operational Psychologist and experienced 

Sexual Crimes Investigator provide both classroom instruction and practical training to 

each Sexual Crime Investigations Training Program class on the cognitive interview 

technique. This technique is a more open, less direct style of eliciting information, 

designed to empower victims and improve their ability to provide detailed information. 

This technique was developed by Dr. Ronald Fisher, a Professor of Psychology at Florida 

International University, and has proven through years of peer-reviewed scientific 

research to significantly increase both the quantity and quality of information received 

from victims and witnesses. Beginning in July 2014, the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations has also incorporated cognitive interviewing into the Basic Special 

Investigations Course entry-level instruction provided to Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ agent trainees at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, 

Georgia. 

Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course: The Air Force Judge Advocate General’s 

School established the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course in 2013, incorporating 

course material focused on sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. In order 

to foster a collaborative approach to special victim’s investigation and prosecution

capability investigations and prosecutions, agents and judge advocates jointly attend the 

Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course at The Air Force Judge Advocate General’s 

School. Since the course’s inception in 2013, 12 Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ agents have attended the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course. 

2.5 Describe your progress in developing joint doctrine for investigations to

incorporate Service interoperability and command independence consistent with

authorities of Military Criminal Investigation Officers in the

operational/institutional environment.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and 

Army Criminal Investigation Command meet regularly in the Russell Knox Building in 

Quantico, Virginia to discuss ways for our organizations to share expertise and 

collaborate on issues of mutual concern, including sexual assault.

2.6 Describe your progress in sustaining the Defense Enterprise Working Group

of Military Criminal Investigation Organizations and Defense Criminal

Investigative Service to assess and validate joint investigative technology, best

practices, and resource efficiencies benched against external law enforcement

agencies.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ Forensics Program Manager is the chair of 

the requirements working group for several technology initiatives under development at 

the Department of Defense level, as well as an active member of the Defense Forensic 

Enterprise Research, Development, Test and Evaluation working groups. In fiscal year 

2014, the Military Criminal Investigation Organizations collaborated on the development of 

a Department of Defense Evidence Management System, Major Case Response Teams 
35

and a Joint School House training program. Air Force Office of Special Investigations has 

also partnered with the Federal Bureau of Investigations to look at possible solutions to 

technology requirements within the Department of Defense.

2.7 Describe your progress in assessing and coordinating with the United States

Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory to improve investigative support and

facilitate evidence processing.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations established a Forensic Science Consultant 

position at the United States Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory in 2013 to help 

facilitate the processing of forensic evidence collected in support of Air Force 

investigations. The Air Force also continues to fund nine DNA/trace-evidence analysts to 

focus solely on Air Force cases. This investment has driven the time required for DNA 

analysis down from 180 days in 2004 to 46 days in 2014. 

2.8 Describe your progress in ensuring that all sexual assault crimes are

immediately reported to Military Criminal Investigation Offices to

establish investigative oversight and coordination.

Air Force commanders are required by Air Force Instruction 36-6001, Sexual Assault, 

Prevention and Response Program, paragraph 6.1.1, to take immediate steps to notify Air 

Force Office of Special Investigations or the appropriate criminal investigative agency 

when they are notified of an alleged rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, 

abusive sexual contact, forcible sodomy, or attempts to commit any of these offenses. 

Paragraph 2.12 of the Air Force Instruction states that “any Air Force military member or 

civilian employee (other than those authorized to receive confidential communications) 

who receives a report of a sexual assault incident about a subordinate in the individual’s 

supervisory chain, shall, as soon as possible, report the matter to the Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations.” A violation of this provision may be punishable under the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice (Article 92, failure to obey a lawful order) for military members or 

by administrative disciplinary action for civilian members.

Per Air Force Instruction 71-101, Special Investigations, Volume 1, paragraph 1.5, 

“Commanders/Directors at all levels shall ensure that criminal allegations or suspected 

criminal allegations involving persons affiliated with the Department of Defense or any 

property or programs under their control or authority are referred to the appropriate 

Military Criminal Investigative Organization or law enforcement organization. Action 

authorities, or designees, will not order or permit any type of commander directed 

investigation or inquiry when there is an ongoing investigation without coordinating with 

Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the servicing Staff Judge Advocate.”

The Defense Equal Opportunity Management Organizational Climate Survey is designed 

to measure command climate and the confidence of Airmen in the appropriate execution 

of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. Beginning in January 2014, 

the Air Force mandated the use of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute 

Organizational Climate Survey. Prior to the use of the Defense Equal Opportunity 

Management Organizational Climate Survey, the Air Force used a Unit Climate 
36

Assessment tool to survey and focus on potential equal opportunity and harassment 

issues within Air Force organizations. In 2012, the Air Force updated policy to combat 

sexual assault and began fielding the survey to unit members within 120 days of a 

commander assuming command of a new unit and annually thereafter. The results from 

these surveys are not only provided to the commander, but also to members under the 

commander’s command and to the commander’s leadership. Since the surveys are 

completed annually, commanders are able to identify areas for improvement and issues 

that need to be addressed during their tenure. Airmen are asked through the survey 

whether they believe their chain of command would report a sexual assault allegation to 

criminal investigators.

Chart 2.2 – Responses to Chain of Command Would Forward a Sexual Assault 

Report to Criminal Investigators

The responses to this question on the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute 

Organizational Climate Survey suggest that approximately 92% of Airmen trust that their 

chain of command would forward sexual assault reports to criminal investigators. 8% of 

Airmen believed their chain of command would make either a “slight” or “no effort at all” in 

forwarding reports to criminal investigators. Maintaining a high level of confidence is 

important to ensuring Airmen who wish to make an unrestricted report have confidence in 

the investigation and accountability process.

2.9 Describe your progress in ensuring prompt military criminal investigation 

office investigative notification to commanders and sexual assault response 

coordinators concurrent with initiating an investigation of a sexual assault 

crime.

investigation. Agents are also required by policy to notify the sexual assault response 

coordinator as soon as possible once they have initiated a sexual assault investigation. 

Tri-letter Agreement: One of the historical assessment challenges was the lack of 

consistent communication between the various organizations involved in sexual assault 

prevention and response. The available information was inconsistent and disjointed, 

making assessment difficult. In July 2014, The Judge Advocate General of the Air Force, 

the Commander of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, and the Director of the 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office co-signed a memorandum to 

the field encouraging collaboration and information sharing between their respective 

offices at the installation level. This initiative will help to ensure accurate accounting of 

sexual assault cases, which will increase the fidelity and amount of information on sexual 

assaults occurring in the Air Force. Based on this memorandum, the Air Force Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office now provides a listing of unrestricted reports that 

are missing relevant information relative to subject, investigation, and disposition to the 

installation sexual assault response coordinators. The sexual assault response 

coordinators are then asked to coordinate with the installation Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations and Judge Advocate Offices to obtain the missing information.

2.10 Describe your continuing efforts to foster early coordination between

investigators and judge advocates when initiating a sexual assault investigation.

The Inspector General, The Judge Advocate General, and the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations Commander signed a memorandum of agreement in 2009 mandating 

investigators and trial counsel at every installation work closely on violent crime cases 

from inception to investigative completion. The requirement to collaborate early and often 

on all major criminal cases, including sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse, 

has since been codified in both Air Force Office of Special Investigations and Judge 

Advocate policy instructions. 

At the installation level, Air Force Office of Special Investigations investigators and trial 

counsel work together from the start of a case through completion. Although general 

requirements for judge advocate and investigator coordination are found in Air Force 

Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military Justice, staff judge advocates at the 

installation level develop local procedures with their servicing Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ detachment commander to coordinate with agents as early as possible in 

the investigative stages of a case. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations notifies 

the legal office when criminal investigations are initiated. As soon as practicable after 

being notified of an open investigation, the Staff Judge Advocate designates an 

investigative support team, composed of an attorney and paralegal, when appropriate, to 

provide initial counsel to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case agent on the 

new investigation. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations briefs the designated 

judge advocate on initial investigative steps. 

The collaborative process continues during the development of an investigative plan and 

the investigative support team works with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’

case agent in identifying potential criminal offenses for investigation and comparing 
38

evidence in the case with the elements of proof for a given offense. The judge advocate 

also coordinates with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case agent on subject 

interviews.

As appropriate, investigative support team members or judge advocate staff members 

attend the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case review meetings and the 

investigators attend relevant judge advocate military justice meetings. The investigative 

support team reviews and updates the initial proof analysis crafted by trial counsel to 

address the elements of suspected offenses, evidence, anticipated objections, and 

potential defenses for each specification. The judge advocate assigned to the team will 

discuss the results of the analysis with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case 

agents.

The Judge Advocate General’s Corps Chief Senior Trial Counsel and Special Victims’ 

Unit Chief of Policy and Coordination both teach at the introductory sexual assault 

investigation course for Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ investigators held five 

times each year at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia. 

These lessons always include an emphasis on early and continuous coordination 

between base prosecutors and investigators.

Within 30 days of the conclusion of trial, the Staff Judge Advocate and members of the 

trial team conduct case reviews with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case 

agents to review lessons learned. This local process is facilitated by the Air Force special 

victim reach-back capability located at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. This team consists 

of Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ Sexual Assault Investigation and Operations 

Consultant and The Judge Advocate General’s Corps Special Victims’ Unit Chief of Policy 

and Coordination. These two positions collaborate to ensure productive integration 

between the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and judge advocate personnel 

working at the base level. The Special Victims’ Unit Chief of Policy and Coordination 

regularly discusses investigative policies and potential reforms with the Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ Sexual Assault Investigation and Operations Consultant. The Air 

Force Office of Special Investigations and judge advocates use the reach-back capability 

as needed to access specific expertise. This interaction has extended to include 

collaboration in revising investigative approaches informed by the most recent trends and 

concerns in Air Force sexual assault investigations, but also fosters early engagement 

between investigators and judge advocates at all levels. Finally, the Sexual Assault 

Investigations and Operations Consultant and Special Victims’ Unit Chief of Policy and 

Coordination collaborate to help ensure productive integration between the Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations and Judge Advocate personnel across the Air Force.

2.11 For Unrestricted and Restricted Reports, describe your efforts to ensure

sexual assault documentation (Department of Defense Forms 2910 and 2911) is

retained for 50 years in accordance with Section 1723 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014.

Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations has published policy requiring 

retention of Department of Defense Forms 2911, Sexual Assault Forensic Examination 
39

Report, in investigative case files and the retention of those files for 50 years for all sexual 

crimes investigated by Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents. Specifically, Air 

Force Office of Special Investigations Manual 71-122, Criminal Investigations, Volume 1, 

paragraph 4.3.3.9. mandates agents “file hardcopies of the Department of Defense Form 

2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement, and Department of Defense Form 2911 in 

the Air Force Form 3986, Case File Documents Outer Envelope, of the case file, and 

attach electronic copies of the Department of Defense Forms 2910, Victim Reporting 

Preference Statement, and 2911 in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ 

electronic investigative information management system.” In addition, Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations Manual 71-121, Processing and Reporting Investigative Matters, 

paragraph 3.1.9.7 directs “all adult sexual assault investigative reports will be retained for 

a period of 50 years.” Air Force Office of Special Investigations is in full compliance with 

Section 1723 of the National Defense Authorization Act. 

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office is revising Air Force 

Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. The revised 

instruction will direct sexual assault response coordinators to enter Department of 

Defense Forms 2910 into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database for all 

unrestricted reports of sexual assault, where they will be retained 50 years. Sexual 

assault response coordinators will also be directed to retain hard copies of all Department 

of Defense Forms 2910 associated with restricted reports of sexual assault for 50 years, 

consistent with Department of Defense guidance for the storage of personally identifiable 

information. The 50 year time frame for retention of Department of Defense Forms 2910 

will start from the date the victim signs the form.

2.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to

improve interoperability.

Agents assigned to Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ units worldwide liaison 

regularly with federal, state, local and military law enforcement agencies in their local 

vicinity. These meetings are conducted for the purpose of sharing criminal intelligence, 

requesting assistance in open investigations and providing updates on investigations run 

jointly with other law enforcement agencies. 

2.13 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in the

investigation of sexual assault.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations will continue to use random quality case 

reviews and increase the number of investigators with advanced sexual assault 

investigations training. Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations now 

randomly selects and thoroughly reviews 25 percent of all criminal investigations closed 

each month. The case review results are reported to senior headquarters and field 

leaders on a monthly basis. 

Air Force Office of Special Investigations will continue to provide advanced sexual assault 

training through its Sexual Crimes Investigations Training Program discussed above in 

section 2.4. Five additional courses will be conducted in fiscal year 2015 to train 120 
40

more investigators and 30 additional military prosecutors. The course has continually 

received excellent end-of-course reviews and is one of Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ most sought-after in-residence training courses. 

Finally, the Air Force developed and then became the first service to officially implement 

the Joint Sexual Assault Team concept in 2014. Joint sexual assault teams are a 

cooperative law enforcement initiative in which special agents and security forces 

investigators serve jointly on adult victim sexual assault investigation teams, working 

under direct supervision of Air Force Office of Special Investigations agents. These 

teams are force multipliers when combating sexual assault worldwide. The concept has 

been approved for implementation at 55 installations throughout the Air Force. Security 

forces investigators assigned to joint sexual assault teams will attend the Sexual Crime 

Investigations Training Program. This concept has been approved by the Department of 

Defense Inspector General for adoption by all military services.
41

3. Line of Effort 3—Accountability—The objective of accountability is to

“achieve high competence in holding offenders appropriately accountable.”

3.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Accountability Endstate: “perpetrators

are held appropriately accountable.”

The Air Force provides a fair and equitable system of accountability. The system 

promotes justice, assists in maintaining good order and discipline, and promotes 

efficiency and effectiveness in the military establishment, thereby strengthening national 

security. Commanders are a critical part of this justice system. The Air Force innovated 

enhancements to our justice system within the special victim’s investigation and 

prosecution capability, providing specially trained attorneys, victim witness assistance 

personnel, domestic abuse and sexual assault victim advocates, and paralegals. The 

special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability is comprised of a distinct, 

recognizable group of professionals who collaborate to ensure effective, timely, 

responsive worldwide victim support, and a capability to investigate and address sexual 

assault offenses in order to hold perpetrators appropriately accountable.

In addition, within its cadre of seasoned senior trial counsel, the Air Force stood up a 

special victim’s unit consisting of several senior prosecutors who have in-depth training 

and experience in the prosecution of sexual assault crimes. These special victim’s unit

prosecutors participate in approximately 80% of sexual assault trials Air Force-wide. In 

addition to prosecuting sexual assault cases, these prosecutors are also heavily involved 

in the training of local trial counsel in the nuances of sexual assault litigation. 

The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2013 requires administrative 

discharge processing for those convicted of, but who did not receive a punitive discharge 

for, rape, sexual assault, and forcible sodomy under Article 120 of the Uniform Code of 

Military Justice, and attempts to commit these offenses, under Article 80 of the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice. In response, in July 2013, the Air Force adopted a substantially 

broader and more stringent policy by publishing Interim Change 7 to both Air Force 

Instruction 36-3206, Administrative Discharge Procedures for Commissioned Officers, 

and Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. Implemented 

throughout fiscal year 2014, these instructions now require mandatory discharge 

processing for any Airman who commits a sexual assault-type offense, regardless of 

whether that person was tried by court-martial. Since implementation, this process has 

proven to be an effective tool in holding perpetrators of sexual assault appropriately 

accountable. The fiscal year 2014 National Defense Authorization, section 1705, 

amended the Uniform Code of Military Justice to require a dismissal or dishonorable 

discharge for a court-martial conviction involving rape, sexual assault, rape or sexual 

assault of a child, forcible sodomy, or attempts of these offenses. Although a courtmartial discharge is now required, administrative separations will still be processed for 

those Airmen with substantiated allegations that are disposed of outside a courts-martial

or in cases that did not proceed to trial.

3.2 Describe your progress in implementing a special victims’ advocacy/counsel

for victims.
42

On January 28, 2013, the Air Force established the federal government’s first, large-scale 

Special Victims’ Counsel Program as a pilot program for the Department of Defense to 

provide independent judge advocates to represent sexual assault victims eligible for legal 

assistance under Title 10 United States Code sections 1044, Legal Assistance, and 

1565b, Victims of Sexual Assault: Access to Legal Assistance and Services of Sexual 

Assault Response Coordinators and Sexual Assault Victim Advocates. The Air Force 

Judge Advocate General directed the creation of the Special Victims’ Counsel Program to 

provide legal assistance to victims of sexual assault, help them better understand the 

investigation and legal process, ensure their rights are protected, and their voices heard. 

On June 1, 2013, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program transitioned from 60 judge 

advocates serving as part-time special victims’ counsel, to 24 judge advocates serving as 

full-time special victims’ counsel under an independent chain of command in the Air Force 

Legal Operations Agency, Special Victims’ Counsel Division. 

On August 14, 2013, the Secretary of Defense directed the Secretaries of the Military 

Departments to “establish a Special Victim’s Advocacy Program best suited for that 

Service that provides legal advice and representation to the victim throughout the justice 

process.” The Air Force’s Special Victims’ Counsel Program was already in full 

compliance with that directive and had been since its inception in January 2013.

Representation of all sexual assault victims by special victims’ counsel was codified by 

the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 under Title 10 United States 

Code Section 1044e, Special Victims’ Counsel for Victims of Sex-Related Offenses. 

Under these provisions, beginning June 24, 2014, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program 

began representing child victims of sexual assault and stalking victims who are eligible to 

receive military legal assistance. 

As of September 2014, the Division now includes a headquarters staff with a colonel 

division chief, a general schedule-14 associate chief, a master sergeant special victims’ 

paralegal manager; and 28 special victims’ counsel and 10 special victims’ paralegals at 

19 locations worldwide. The number of special victims’ counsel will continue to expand 

throughout fiscal year 2015. By January 2015, the total number of special victims’ 

counsel will reach 33, and by summer of 2015 will expand to 40. As the number of 

special victims’ counsel grows, the need for mid-level senior special victims’ counsel to 

handle complex cases, assist in program administration and provide first-level supervision 

has become clear. Consequently, in January 2015, three senior special victims’ counsel 

in the rank of major will join the program and they will be located at Joint Base San 

Antonio, Texas; Joint Base Andrews, Maryland; and Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. 

Since the program’s inception, special victims’ counsel have represented more than 1,100

eligible victims of sexual assault, to include 18 child victims.

3.3 Describe your progress in ensuring those who are affiliated with the special

victim’s investigation and prosecution capability program (paralegals, Judge 

Advocates, Judges, special victims’ counsel/victim legal counsel, and victimwitness assistance personnel) receive specialized sexual assault prevention 

and response training for responding to allegations of sexual assault.
43

Since the inception of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, The Judge 

Advocate General’s Corps began incorporating sexual assault based training into The 

Judge Advocate General’s School curriculum. The training has evolved both in scope 

and target audience. The school has included sexual assault case scenarios at the initial 

training for all new Air Force judge advocates to ensure they are exposed to sexualassault litigation issues from the very outset of their military careers. The Judge Advocate 

General’s School has also introduced the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course, 

which - in conjunction with the Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course - provides 

judge advocates with opportunities to sharpen their skills in this complex field of practice. 

The school has also expanded the population it serves by training special victims’ counsel 

- both from the Air Force and sister services - and Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ investigators. Additionally, fiscal year 2014 saw the introduction of 

specialized training for Victim Witness Assistance Program personnel and the introduction

of specialized, targeted training for special victims’ counsel on topics related to 

representing child victims of sexual assault. 

In addition to the increasing number of in-residence courses, a number of distance 

education courses and webinars were added in 2014, which were designed to quickly 

provide information on sexual assault topics and changes in the law to attorneys and 

paralegals in the field.

Attorney and/or Paralegal Training: For attorneys, the Air Force litigation training 

roadmap begins with foundational courses offered by The Judge Advocate General’s 

School and continues with advanced litigation and military justice courses for judge 

advocates responsible for courtroom litigation. These courses include the ones described 

below.

Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course: As they begin their careers in the Air Force, all 

judge advocates must attend this initial nine-week training course, taught at The Judge 

Advocate General’s School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. Last year, 152 judge 

advocates took this course upon their entry into The Judge Advocate General’s Corps. 

The Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course provides 130 hours of military justice instruction, 

including a court-martial case scenario based on a sexual assault case. A judge

advocate must graduate from the Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course, serve effectively 

as a trial counsel, and be recommended by his or her staff judge advocate and a military 

judge in order to become certified as trial and defense counsel. Judge advocates cannot 

sit alone or as lead counsel on a general court-martial or serve as defense counsel or 

special victims’ counsel until they are certified. The Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course

provides new judge advocates trial advocacy experience in realistic courtroom-based 

exercises.

Trial and Defense Advocacy Course: This is a two-week course, offered twice per 

fiscal year, taught at The Judge Advocate General’s School that allows judge advocates 

to develop their trial advocacy skills through practical demonstrations and moot court 

exercises. Experts from both within and outside the Department of Defense teach 

students how to overcome the challenges of litigating sexual assault cases, to include 
44

addressing a case with an intoxicated victim, working with expert witnesses, and crossexamining an accused. In fiscal year 2014, 61 judge advocates received this vital 

training.

Training by Reservists in Advocacy and Litigation Skills: The Judge Advocate 

General’s School also provides continuing litigation training through its Training by 

Reservists in Advocacy and Litigation Skills Course, which visits multiple Air Force legal 

offices each year providing on-site advocacy training. In fiscal year 2014, training was 

held at 12 bases world-wide, honing the skills of 149 judge advocates. The Training by 

Reservists in Advocacy and Litigation Skills team is comprised of experienced Reserve

Component judge advocates, The Judge Advocate General’s School faculty members, 

and a sitting military judge. The team offers a two and one half-day intensive advocacy 

training program using a fact pattern involving a sexual assault case.

Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course: This course is always paired with the 

Training by Reservists in Advocacy and Litigation Skills Course and is taught five times 

each year at The Judge Advocate General’s School and at various base locations 

throughout the world. In fiscal year 2014, 150 judge advocates attended this training. 

This course provides trial and defense counsel and special victims’ counsel updates on: 

Evolving aspects of military trial practice; practical lessons on securing and using 

evidence and experts; litigating Military Rule of Evidence 412 “rape shield” provisions and 

exceptions, Military Rule of Evidence 513, psychotherapist-patient privilege, and Military 

Rule of Evidence 514, victim advocate-victim privilege; and instruction on litigating sexual 

assault cases. Pairing this course with the Training by Reservists in Advocacy and 

Litigation Skills Course enables immediate application of this classroom instruction with 

courtroom skills practice. A forensic psychologist teaches a block of instruction to 

prosecutors and defense counsel. Students hear from senior leaders, receive instruction 

from experienced litigators, and network with other counsel.

Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course: This one-week course, initially introduced 

in fiscal year 2013, is offered to special victims’ unit senior trial counsel and senior 

defense counsel and includes Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents who have 

been designated to investigate sexual assault cases. This course fosters a collaborative 

approach to sexual assault investigations and prosecutions with its joint approach to 

training. Training focuses on use of expert witnesses at trial, the victim interview process 

and victim testimony at trial, and overarching concepts related to sexual assault 

investigations. The Judge Advocate General’s School brings in two forensic 

psychologists for this course and a full day of instruction is dedicated to this topic with 

students conducting mock direct and cross-examinations of the experts. Similarly, one 

day of instruction is dedicated to sexual assault nurse examiners, and two forensic sexual 

assault nurse examiners provide instruction, with students conducting mock direct and 

cross-examinations of the experts. In fiscal year 2014, 6 special victims’ unit senior trial 

counsel and 6 senior defense counsel attended this training.

Sex Crimes Investigation Training Program: Judge advocates attend the eight-day 

Sex Crimes Investigation Training Program jointly with Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations’ agents at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, 
45

Georgia. This course was originally developed by the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations in fiscal year 2012, but has evolved through fiscal years 2013 and 2014 to 

now include both Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ investigators and judge 

advocates. This course provides Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents and 

judge advocates training on cognitive biases in sexual assault cases, the psychology of 

victims and offenders, advanced victim and suspect interviewing techniques, advanced 

crime scene processing, information related to drug and alcohol facilitated sexual 

assaults, working with sexual assault nurse examiners, working with sexual assault 

response coordinators, and working with special victims’ counsel.

In fiscal year 2014, approximately18 judge advocates attended three Sexual Crimes 

Investigations Training Program courses. Joint Judge Advocate/Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations’ attendance at this course has led to better communication 

between investigators and judge advocates.

Advanced Trial Advocacy Course: This course provides education in advanced trial

techniques to experienced trial and defense counsel to prepare them to try major,

complex courts-martial, including sexual assault trials. In fiscal year 2014, 24 

attorneys graduated from this advanced litigation training course.

The Military Justice Administration Course: This one-week course provides training in 

the management of base legal offices’ military justice sections to judge advocates and 

paralegals who are currently or soon will be the Chief of Military Justice (attorney) or the 

Non-commissioned Officer in Charge of Military Justice (paralegal). In fiscal year 2014, 

148 students learned to manage a base level military justice section, including how to 

administratively process a case from initial stages of investigation through post-trial. 

Since at least 2010, the course has included components of sexual assault education 

including understanding the role of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, Special 

Victims’ Counsel roles, Article 120 updates and Air Force Office of Special Investigations 

and Judge Advocate coordination. 

The Staff Judge Advocate Course: This two-week course provides a refresher in 

military law and a study of Air Force leadership principles for judge advocates who are 

newly assigned to staff judge advocate positions. This course is designed to facilitate the 

transition of judge advocates to the position of staff judge advocate, the senior legal 

advisor to Air Force commanders, most of who serve as either special or general courtmartial convening authorities. In fiscal year 2014, there were 60 students.

Other Courses: The Judge Advocate General’s School periodically offers webcasts and 

distance education modules on sexual assault topics available to all judge advocates and 

paralegals. This technology allows The Judge Advocate General’s School to train the 

entire Judge Advocate General’s Corps on changes in the law and updates on relevant 

legal issues almost immediately after the changes are put into effect. Recent training 

topics offered in 2014 include a special victims’ counsel update on child representation, 

annual first responder training, prosecuting sexual assault cases, expert witnesses, a 

webcast on navigating Article 120, Uniform Code of Military Justice, and an appellate 

update.
46

In addition to the courses discussed above, a number of trial counsel and senior trial 

counsel take advantage of the advanced training courses offered by the other military 

departments. Examples include the Navy’s Prosecuting Alcohol-Facilitated Sexual 

Assault Course, and the Army’s Special Victims’ Unit Investigations Course. Additionally, 

trial counsel at all levels endeavor to take advantage of training offered by non-federal 

entities such as the National District Attorney's Association Prosecution of Sexual Assault 

Course. In addition, a few each year attend in-residence and distance learning courses 

offered by AEQuitas, which is an organization receiving funding from the U.S. Department 

of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women. Special victims unit senior trial counsel 

maximize training costs by cross-pollinating their expertise and providing on-site sexual 

assault litigation training to junior trial counsel while assisting with prosecution of sexual 

assault cases at the base level. Special victims’ unit senior trial counsel are also 

available for reach-back support to base level trial counsel. 

The Special Victims’ Counsel Course: This one-week Judge Advocate General’s 

School Course, first offered in fiscal year 2013, provides training to special victims’ 

counsel and special victims’ paralegals, who are required to successfully complete the 

course in order to serve in those positions. The course focuses on unique aspects of 

being a victim’s attorney and specialty areas involved in representation of sexual assault 

victims specifically. Students receive instruction on: the Special Victims’ Counsel Rules 

of Practice and Procedure; professional responsibility; the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program; the Victim and Witness Assistance Program; Military Rule of 

Evidence 412 “rape shield” provisions and exceptions, Military Rule of Evidence 513,

psychotherapist-patient privilege, and Military Rule of Evidence 514, victim advocatevictim privilege; access to information; and representing victims facing ancillary 

disciplinary matters. Two key parts of the curriculum are the advocacy exercises that

require special victims’ counsel to conduct an intake interview with a mock client and to 

argue Military Rules of Evidence 412, 513, and 615 motions on behalf of a mock client. 

Training is provided by The Judge Advocate General’s School personnel, as well as 

outside experts on victim’s rights. The latest iteration of the course also included a panel 

of survivors who had been represented by a special victims’ Counsel. This training at The 

Judge Advocate General’s School is provided to special victims’ counsel from all military 

services. 

The Special Victims’ Counsel Program expanded to represent eligible dependent child 

victims of sexual assault on June 24, 2014. Training for child certified special victims’ 

counsel included a separate two day in-depth training course at The Judge Advocate 

General’s School taught by experts affiliated with the National Children’s Advocacy 

Center, focusing on child forensic interviewing, using age appropriate communication, an 

overview of state dependency and neglect processes, and resolving ethical conflicts. The 

Judge Advocate General’s School incorporated the child training into the Special Victims’ 

Counsel Course in order to ensure all special victims’ counsel are appropriately trained to 

meet the expanded eligibility requirements.

In addition to the formal courses discussed above, special victims’ counsel training is 

continuously supplemented through internal training, other formal courses within the Air 
47

Force, and with external training opportunities such as the International Conference on 

Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Trafficking; the Crime Victim Law Conference; 

the National Sexual Assault Conference; and the National Symposium on Child Abuse.

Victim and Witness Assistance Program Training: Judge advocates and paralegals 

have traditionally received Victim and Witness Assistance Program training through their 

respective military justice courses. However, in fiscal year 2014, The Judge Advocate 

General’s School began offering a Victim and Witness Assistance Program distance 

education course. This five-week course focuses on the following: teaching Victim and 

Witness Assistance Program representatives how to discuss the military justice process 

with victims; enhancing students’ understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and 

counterintuitive behavior; understanding the Victim and Witness Assistance Program’s

role in the special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability; and ensuring every 

victim liaison is familiar with Air Force and civilian resources available to crime victims. 

The training will supplement first responder training, as required by the National Defense 

Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012. The Victim and Witness Assistance Program 

distance education course will be offered twice per year, enhancing the installation level 

training and reach back support for judge advocates and paralegals who serve as victim 

liaisons in base legal offices so that they will be prepared to support victims throughout 

the military justice process. 

First Responder Training: The Judge Advocate General’s School provides annual 

training for judge advocates, Victim and Witness Assistance Program personnel, legal 

assistance attorneys, and trial counsel. This training is mandatory for all Active Duty and 

Reserve judge advocates who provide military justice advice, legal assistance, or who 

serve as trial counsel; Active Duty and Reserve paralegals that provide legal assistance 

support or directly contribute to a Victim and Witness Assistance Program; and civilian 

employees who work in military justice, legal assistance, or contribute to a Victim and 

Witness Assistance Program. 

To effectively accomplish this training, The Judge Advocate General’s School created a 

two-part distance learning course. The first part of this course covers reporting options, 

the roles of the sexual assault response coordinator, victim advocate, special victims’ 

counsel, Case Management Group, Military Rule of Evidence 514, deployment issues, the 

Victim and Witness Assistance Program, investigations, sex offender registration, and 

commander actions. The second part covers the prosecution of sexual assault cases and 

discusses topics such as drug and alcohol facilitated sexual assault, rules of evidence 

and evolving case law, victim privacy matters, and working with special victims’ counsel. 

The second portion of the training – the prosecution of sexual assault cases was 

presented by two of our most experienced Air Force special victims’ unit prosecutors.

Military Judges’ Training: The Army conducts the Military Judge Course. Once 

selected, military judges from all military services attend the three-week Military Judge 

Course at The United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School, 

Charlottesville, Virginia. All military judges must complete this course before they can be 

certified as military judges. Moreover, all Air Force judges returning to the bench from 

another assignment must take the entire course again. This course covers judicial 
48

philosophy, case management, specific case scenarios, and relevant updates to ensure 

rapid implementation of National Defense Authorization Act and Executive Order 

requirements. The course includes substantive criminal law and procedure, practical 

exercises, and scenarios focused on factors to consider in reaching an appropriate 

sentence. The course emphasizes that sexual assault issues and scenarios are designed 

around a sexual assault case.

Joint Military Judge’s Annual Training: This one week course brings together military 

trial judges from all military services to review recent developments in military criminal law 

and discuss the most effective techniques of judicial management. Seminar topics 

include discussion and analysis of the judge’s responsibilities at trial, courtroom 

procedures, Military Rules of Evidence, recent court decisions and changes in the law 

impacting military justice practice.

Other Training of Judge Advocate General Corps Personnel: The Judge Advocate 

General conducted a two-day Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Summit in 

December 2013 at Maxwell-Gunter Annex, Alabama. The training included every staff 

judge advocate and senior Judge Advocate General’s Corps leader in the Air Force, to 

include the acting Air Force General Counsel and members of his staff. At this summit, 

experts from the civilian and military sexual assault prevention and response communities 

educated Judge Advocate General’s Corps leaders on victim care, victim legal issues, the 

neurobiology of trauma, cognitive interviewing biases, the current status of the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, civilian victim care laws, and policy 

changes impacting military justice practice and the processing of sexual assault cases.

3.4 Describe your progress in ensuring that if a service member is convicted by

court-martial or receives a non-judicial punishment or punitive administrative

action for a sex-related offense, a notation to that effect shall be placed in the

service personnel record.

Section 572 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2013 requires 

administrative discharge processing for anyone convicted, but who did not receive a 

punitive discharge at trial, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice of rape (Article 

120(a)), sexual assault (Article 120(b)), forcible sodomy (Article 125), or attempts to 

commit these offenses (Article 80). On July 2, 2013, the Air Force adopted a more 

aggressive discharge policy than that required by the National Defense Authorization Act. 

Air Force Instruction 36-3206, Administrative Discharge Procedures for Commissioned 

Officers, and Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, now 

both require mandatory discharge processing for any Airman who commits a sexual 

assault offense, regardless of whether that person was tried by court-martial. Under this 

change, administrative action or non-judicial punishment for these offenses will trigger 

automatic discharge processing, and this change will also account for cases prosecuted 

in civilian courts. Previous policy permitted, but did not require, initiation of administrative 

separation proceedings for civilian convictions. Additionally, by Air Force policy, the 

range of offenses that will trigger the automatic discharge processing is broader than the 

four provisions listed in the National Defense Authorization Act, and will include “touching” 

offenses of aggravated sexual contact and abusive sexual contact.
49

The Air Force published Air Force Guidance Memorandum Four to Air Force Instruction 

36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, on September 17, 2014. This 

memorandum amended Air Force Instruction 36-2406 and requires sexual related 

offenses to be annotated in officer and enlisted performance reports as required by the 

National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014. The National Defense 

Authorization Act and memorandum also require a complete commander’s review of 

personnel service records for all members of the unit, regardless of grade. These actions 

ensure offenses are properly documented in officer and enlisted evaluations and given 

proper consideration during promotion boards and other career opportunities. 

The Administrative Law Directorate provides explication and guidance to the field on 

implementation of the new requirement to ensure accurate implementation.

3.5 Describe your progress to expand the availability, sequencing, and scope of

commanders’ legal courses (e.g., range of command legal authorities and

options). Include how you are assessing course outcomes.

Commanders receive legal training at a variety of courses to include the Wing 

Commanders Course, Group Commanders Course, and Squadron Commanders Course. 

They also receive informal training and briefings from their staff judge advocate and 

servicing legal office throughout their time as a commander. Professional military 

education, to include Squadron Officer School as a junior officer, Staff College as a midgrade officer and War College as a senior officer, provides training and discussions on 

personnel and command issues.

Commanders receive a briefing from a Judge Advocate General’s Corps representative 

during their major command initial orientation course. Commanders also attend quarterly 

status of discipline and other meetings with training. Issues discussed at status of 

discipline meetings, in accordance with Air Force Instruction 51- 201, Administration of 

Military Justice, include courts-martial and non-judicial punishment processing times, 

types of offenses, and demographic data for closed cases. The status of discipline 

meetings provide an opportunity for commanders to hear how their fellow commanders 

handled cases, and it is an opportunity for the staff judge advocate to provide lessons 

learned and training as necessary.

The Judge Advocate General’s School, pursuant to the recommendation of the response 

system panel, is developing curriculum and assessment tools for a new Senior Officer 

Legal Orientation Course designed for new wing and group commanders. This will 

ensure commanders at the wing and group level throughout the Air Force receive 

consistent legal training prior to taking command.

3.6 Describe your effort to ensure the withholding of initial disposition authority in 

certain sexual assault cases from all commanders who do not possess at least

Special Court Martial Convening Authority and who are not in the grade of O-6 or

higher.
50

In accordance with Secretary of Defense Memorandum, “Withholding Initial Disposition 

Authority Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in Certain Sexual Assault Cases,”

April 20, 2012, initial disposition authority is withheld from all commanders who do not 

possess at least special court-martial convening authority for certain Article 120 and 

Article 125, Uniform Code of Military Justice, offenses.

On April 12, 2012, the acting Secretary of the Air Force directed that, in all cases involving 

rape under Article 120(a) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assault (Article 

120(b)), forcible sodomy (Article 125) and attempts to commit those offenses (Article 80), 

the special court-martial convening authority is required to provide the general courtmartial convening authority (in the grade of brigadier general or higher) written notice of 

the initial disposition action taken within 30 days of taking such action. This notification 

increases the visibility of actions taken on sexual assault offenses by ensuring the general 

court-martial convening authorities are notified of the initial disposition of these cases by 

their subordinate commanders. 

On June 28, 2012, the Air Force implemented the requirement to elevate initial disposition 

authority for the most serious sexual assault offenses (rape, sexual assault, forcible 

sodomy, and attempts to commit these offenses) to a special court martial convening 

authority who is a commander serving at the colonel level or higher. That implementation 

is now memorialized in Air Force Guidance Memorandum to Air Force Instruction 51-201, 

Administration of Military Justice, dated September 25, 2014, paragraph 4.13. This 

action, in addition to the notification requirement above, greatly increases the visibility of 

actions taken on sexual assault offenses by ensuring a review of the disposition in sexual 

assault cases is made at the appropriate level. This additional level of oversight 

contributes to holding perpetrators appropriately accountable.

Additionally, the acting Secretary of the Air Force also directed on June 17, 2013, that the 

Air Force Office of Special Investigations will not close out investigative files in cases of 

sexual assault until the general court-martial convening authority has signed a written 

memorandum of command action for the cases. This ensures that every sexual assault 

investigation is appropriately reviewed at all levels. As an enhancement to command 

oversight policies already in place at the direction of the Secretary of Defense and 

Secretary of the Air Force for sexual assault cases, section 1744 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 required additional high level review by the superior 

general court-martial convening authority (usually an Air Force Major Command 

Commander) or Secretary of the Air Force in certain sexual assault cases not referred to 

a court-martial. The Air Force has implemented this change through an Air Force 

Guidance Memorandum to Air Force Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military Justice,

dated September, 25 2014, adding webcast training availability for all judge advocates 

and paralegals and new training to be included in the military justice courses taught at 

The Judge Advocate General’s School.

Additionally, some major commands have adopted a policy wherein initial disposition 

authority is withheld for all Article 120, Uniform Code of Military Justice offenses, beyond 

those identified in the Secretary of Defense memorandum. 
51

3.7 Describe your efforts to ensure sexual assault prevention and response first 

responder knowledge of Military Rule of Evidence 514 (Victim Advocate-Victim

Privilege).

The Judge Advocate General’s School created a two part distance learning course for first 

responders. The first part of this course covers reporting options, the roles of the sexual 

assault response coordinator, victim advocate, special victims’ counsel, and Military Rule 

of Evidence 514, among other topics. Additionally, The Judge Advocate General’s School 

expanded its instruction at the Judge Advocate Staff Officer Course ensuring all new 

judge advocates receive first responder training.

Additionally, the Air Force teaches a block of instruction on Military Rule of Evidence 514 

at the Air Force Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course, which is required for all 

new sexual assault response coordinators, deputy/assistant sexual assault response 

coordinators, and full-time victim advocates. Military Rule of Evidence 514 issues are 

also taught at judge advocate training courses, such as the Sexual Assault Litigation 

Course and Special Victims’ Advocate Course. The implementation of Military Rule of 

Evidence 514 facilitated more open discussion between sexual assault victims and their 

victim advocates. 

3.8 Describe any treatment or rehabilitation programs implemented by your

Service for those members who have been convicted of a sexual assault.

Include any pertinent referrals such as drug and alcohol counseling, or other

types of counseling or intervention.

All Department of Defense confinement facilities offer treatment and rehabilitation 

programs. A majority of Air Force inmates convicted of sexual assault are confined at the 

Disciplinary Barracks, operated by the United States Army, or one of the three Navy 

facilities. As part of an inter-service memorandum of understanding, the Air Force 

provides clinical psychologists to operate the various rehabilitation treatment programs at 

the Naval Consolidated Brig at Miramar and the Disciplinary Barracks. Every inmate has 

access to the programs, regardless of service. 

All convicted sex offenders must attend the Sex Offender Education Course, which is a 

ten week program. During these sessions, inmates are provided information at 

educational seminars about the dynamics of sexual perpetration and preparation for 

treatment. Inmates are informed of programs available at the facility, and may be 

screened for participation in future programs. 

The Sex Offender Treatment Program is provided to individuals who accept responsibility 

for their confining offenses, and have a sentence of at least 36 months so they can 

complete the entire program, which is 24 months. Treatment includes cognitive 

restructuring, victim awareness, sexuality, cognitive and behavioral arousal reduction 

techniques, relationship skills and relapse prevention training. Psychiatric consultation is 

also available. Sex Offender Treatment Program seminars are also available, and they 

consist of psycho-educational seminars on relapse prevention, victim awareness, 

sexuality, relationship skills, and cognitive restructuring. These seminars are 16 weeks. 
52

Throughout the Sex Offender Treatment Program, inmates participate in conferences with 

the providers where they receive feedback about their participation and progress, as well 

as problem-solving techniques and goal setting. Once their program is complete, inmates 

are entered into the maintenance group which meets until the end of their sentence. The 

purpose of this group is to maintain program progress and to continue to develop and 

modify relapse prevention plans until released from confinement.

As part of the initial screening process, inmates are provided referrals to substance abuse 

programs and treatment as well as anger management classes. General mental health 

services are also offered to inmates and dialectical behavioral therapy is provided by 

referral. Dialectical behavioral therapy focuses on maintenance of emotional regulation, 

interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance and mindfulness skills. Before inmates are 

released, they consult with the Community Transition Program personnel. This program 

is designed to assist prisoners’ transition from confinement to the civilian community by 

identifying resources that would enhance Clinical Services treatment programs and their 

overall well-being. This program assists prisoners who need resources to treatment 

facilities for mental health, sex offender, substance abuse and domestic violence.

3.9 National Guard Bureau, describe how you are ensuring that all investigations 

are being referred to the National Guard Bureau-Judge Advocate/Office of 

Complex Investigations.

The National Guard Bureau published a revision to their Chief National Guard Bureau 

Instruction in April 2014 implementing Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response policy and procedures for National Guard members on duty pursuant to 

Title 32, United States Code. This interim revision directs commanders to refer all 

unrestricted reports of sexual assault to the appropriate Military Criminal Investigative 

Organization, civilian law enforcement, or to the National Guard Bureau Office of Complex 

Administrative Investigation.

3.10 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to

improve interoperability.

The Military Justice Division has an ongoing working relationship with the Department of 

Justice, Office of Victims of Crime. The Military Justice Division executes an Interagency 

Agreement between the Air Force and Office of Victims of Crime to provide training and 

technical assistance to the Air Force Victim and Witness Assistance Program. The Chief, 

Policy for Victims and Witnesses participates in a Federal Partners Meeting, held twice a 

year with representatives from all federal agencies that work with the Office of Victims of 

Crime. This forum provides an opportunity for the Air Force to collaborate with victim 

service coordinators in other federal agencies. The Chief, Policy for Victims and 

Witnesses has also participated for the last two years in a collaboration between the 

Department of Defense and the Office of Victims of Crime, the "Strengthening MilitaryCivilian Community Partnerships to Respond to Sexual Assault" Program, serving as an 

instructor for training provided through this program at the 2013 and 2014 National Sexual 

Assault Conferences. The Military Justice Division also has ongoing informal 

collaborative relationships with organizations such as the National Crime Victim Law 
53

Institute and the Victim Rights Law Center in order to facilitate referrals to civilian support 

organizations, participate in training opportunities, and learn from best practices to 

support victims that have been implemented in civilian criminal justice systems.

Air Force special victims’ counsel continually reach out to civilian organizations, such as 

the National Crime Victim Law Institute, the Maryland Crime Victims’ Resource Center, 

and the American Bar Association for training and program development assistance. In 

the past, the National Crime Victim Law Institute provided speakers for the Air Force 

Special Victims’ Counsel Course to assist in training new counsel on developments in the 

law relating to crime victims. Additionally, special victims’ counsel have presented 

briefings at several conferences, such as the Crime Victim Law Conference, the American 

Bar Association Annual Meeting, the National Sexual Assault Conference, and the 

International Conference on Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence and Stalking, to name a 

few. Finally, special victims’ counsel coordinate regularly with local, state and federal 

organizations and agencies when assisting clients. For instance, a special victims’ 

counsel recently reached out to several state and local child victim support organizations 

to gain funding to move a child victim from an abusive home. 

Finally, the Government Trial and Appellate Counsel Division recently visited the Sexual 

Assault/Domestic Violence unit of the Boulder, Colorado, District Attorney’s Office. The 

purpose of the visit was to determine whether the Air Force could incorporate any of the 

Boulder District Attorney’s practices and procedures into our military justice system to 

better prosecute sexual assault cases. After this visit, the Government Trial and 

Appellate Counsel Division brought the Boulder District Attorney’s Chief of Sexual 

Assault/Domestic Violence to the Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course where 

she presented to Air Force judge advocates on various sexual assault prosecution topics.

3.11 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in

holding offenders appropriately accountable.

In addition to the training efforts discussed in question 3.3, which will assist in holding 

offenders appropriately accountable, the Government Trial and Appellate Counsel 

Division provides reach back assistance to local trial counsel before the preferral of 

charges. This assistance includes comprehensive evidence review, and assistance from 

the Special Victims’ Unit Chief of Policy and Coordination with drafting appropriate 

charges. All bases are encouraged to request senior trial counsel support as soon as a 

sexual assault investigation begins. Once those requests are received, a senior trial 

counsel is detailed to support pretrial preparations; this support includes early 

engagement with investigators to help develop the evidence with an understanding of the 

latest case developments and investigative policies, as well as extensive work with the 

base prosecutor to prepare the case for trial.

Additionally, as discussed in question 3.6, effective June 28, 2012, the Secretary of 

Defense withheld initial disposition authority from all commanders within the Department 

of Defense who do not possess at least special court-martial convening authority and who 

are not in the grade of colonel or higher, with respect to rape, sexual assault, forcible 

sodomy, or attempts to commit these offenses. 
54

Furthermore, effective June 17, 2013, the Secretary of the Air Force directed that the 

special court-martial convening authority is required to provide the general court-martial 

convening authority in the grade of brigadier general or above written notice of the initial 

disposition action under Rule for Courts-Martial 306 within 30 days following the date of 

the initial disposition decision, with respect to the aforementioned crimes. 

In addition, after charges and specifications which include those listed above have been 

preferred and the general court-martial convening authority’s Staff Judge Advocate offers 

a recommendation to the general court-martial convening authority under Article 34, 

Uniform Code of Military Justice, on whether the case should be referred to trial, review of 

certain specifications subsequently not referred to court-martial are subject to further 

review. If the Staff Judge Advocate recommends specifications be referred and the 

general court-martial convening authority decides against referral, the case must be 

reviewed by the Secretary of the Air Force. If the Staff Judge Advocate recommends not 

referring specifications to trial and the general court-martial convening authority agrees, 

the case must be forwarded to the next superior general court-martial convening authority 

for review. The Air Force has implemented these changes through an Air Force 

Guidance Memorandum to Air Force Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military Justice,

dated September 25, 2014, adding webcast training availability for all judge advocates 

and paralegals, and new training to be included in the military justice courses taught at 

The Judge Advocate General’s School. These requirements and efforts effect greater 

responsibility and accountability in sexual assault cases and have inspired greater 

confidence in the military justice system.

The Air Force Judiciary plans to consolidate trial practitioners from 17 separate locations 

throughout the continental United States to a smaller number of trial circuits. While the 

plan is not yet final, the end result of co-locating military judges, senior trial counsel, 

senior defense counsel, and senior special victims’ counsel will be a greater collaboration 

within each community of practitioners. With regard to senior trial counsel, this colocation will improve peer-to-peer as well as supervisor-to-peer mentorship, cross-flow of 

information thereby enhancing training, and add leadership opportunities for the most 

seasoned counsel to continue providing their expertise in a litigation role.

Finally, the Air Force intends to continue publishing synopses of sexual assault 

convictions both on publicly available websites, as well as in Air Force Times, on a 

monthly basis.

3.12 Percentage of special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability cases 

preferred, compared to overall number of courts martial preferred in fiscal year

2014. 

Charges were preferred in 636 cases under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in fiscal 

year 2014. Of these 636 cases, charges were preferred in 125 special victim’s 

investigation and prosecution capability cases. The percentage of special victim’s 

investigation and prosecution capability cases preferred compared to the overall number 

of courts-martial preferred is 20%. The special investigations and prosecution capability 
55

handles a variety of cases to include cases involving children and spouse/intimate partner 

sexual assault. For purposes of this report, those cases were not counted. The 125 

preferrals refers to cases that would be included in the sexual assault prevention and 

response data.

3.13 Percentage of special victim offense courts-martial tried by, or with the direct 

advice and assistance of a specially trained prosecutor.

Approximately 85% of special victim offense courts-martial were tried by or with the direct 

advice and assistance of a special prosecutor, known in the Air Force as senior trial 

counsel, during calendar year 2014. The Judge Advocate General tracks senior trial 

counsel participation in sexual assault cases involving child and adult victims. The 

number also includes spouse and intimate partner cases which are counted as part of the 

Family Advocacy Program. During calendar year 2013, senior trial counsel prosecuted a 

total of 203 cases of which 122 were sexual assault cases. For calendar year 2014, 

senior trial counsel prosecuted 200 total cases of which 128 were sexual assault cases. 

Additionally, senior trial counsel also provide advice, guidance, and assistance on the 

vast majority of Air Force sexual assault cases through reach-back capability. A dedicated 

senior trial counsel stationed at Joint Base Andrews (the Special Victims Unit Chief of 

Policy & Coordination) is responsible for providing an initial review of all sexual assault 

cases and consultation with base legal offices on all sexual assault cases submitted for 

action, even if these cases are not prosecuted with the direct on-the-ground assistance of 

a senior trial counsel. Judge Advocate General Corps leadership encourages every base 

legal office to forward every allegation of sexual assault for review through this reach back 

capability. 
56

4. Line of Effort 4—Advocacy/Victim Assistance--The objective of 

advocacy/victim assistance is to “deliver consistent and effective victim

support, response, and reporting options.”

4.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Advocacy/Victim Assistance Endstate:

“high quality services and support to instill confidence and trust, strengthen

resilience, and inspire victims to report.”

Overview: Since the inception of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program 

in 2005, the Air Force has focused on providing unrivaled victim care and follow-on 

support. In fiscal year 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program delivered effective support, response, and reporting options to Air Force victims. 

During this period, victim confidence and trust were strengthened, inspiring Airmen to 

report sexual assaults through either restricted or unrestricted avenues. When victims 

report sexual assault, the Air Force provides a safe environment, offers medical care, 

mental health counseling, specialized legal counsel for victims and victim witness 

assistance. The Department of Justice and civilian experts believe that sexual assault is 

one of the most underreported crimes. Reasons often provided for not reporting include; 

self-blame or guilt, shame, or desire to keep the assault a private matter, fear of not being 

believed or of being accused of playing a role in the crime, and lack of trust in the criminal 

justice system. Therefore, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program aims to cultivate a culture which instills victim’s confidence and trust in the 

response process, creating a necessary bridge to greater victim care and offender 

accountability. The Air Force sexual assault response coordinators and victim advocates 

are one of the critical capabilities employed to achieve these objectives. The Department 

of Defense has established and the Air Force has implemented a certification program to 

align their training and qualifications with the National Victim Advocate Certification 

Program. This ensures a higher level of competence and improves the delivery of victim 

advocacy and assistance. The key victim service providers are sexual assault response 

coordinators, sexual assault victim advocates, volunteer victim advocates and other first 

responders.

 Sexual Assault Response Coordinators: Sexual assault response coordinators are 

the focal point for victim care and a single point of contact at an installation, major 

command, or within a geographic area. Additionally, sexual assault response 

coordinators oversee sexual assault awareness, prevention, and response training. 

They provide commanders with a 24/7 response capability and coordinate medical 

treatment and track services provided to a sexual assault victim from the initial 

report through final disposition. While the primary duty of a sexual assault 

response coordinator is to serve as a program manager, they assist as a 

commander’s voice for installation level response to sexual assault. Sexual 

assault response coordinators ensure victims receive appropriate care, understand 

reporting options, and available sexual assault prevention and response services. 

Furthermore, sexual assault response coordinators establish and maintain a 

proactive network in the surrounding community to increase awareness of trends, 

upcoming events, and potential changes in levels of safety. The sexual assault 

response coordinator communicates these findings with the installation population 
57

through leadership channels and public awareness campaigns. Annually in April, 

coordinators lead planning efforts to support the nationally recognized Sexual 

Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.

Sexual assault response coordinators educate their team and installation 

community on sexual assault trends, local and national initiatives, and ways to 

improve support to victims. This information is shared with commanders and key 

leaders at appropriate venues such as staff meetings, conferences, and 

commander’s calls. This information is further integrated with the installation’s 

Community Action Information Board or similar coordinating programs. The 

Community Action Information Board is a commander’s tool, which allows the 

commander to assess the health of the community and to enact positive programs 

and services to foster resiliency.

Sexual assault response coordinators are responsible for entering important data 

regarding a victims’ traumatic experience into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident 

Database. 

 Victim Advocates: Victim advocates provide direct victim care and support, 

advocacy, liaison, education, and referral services. The full-time victim advocate 

provides crisis intervention, safety planning, referral, and ongoing non-clinical 

support for victims of sexual assault. They also manage and train volunteer victim 

advocates. Full-time victim advocates provide direct victim care during 

administrative, medical, investigative, and legal procedures, ensuring that a victim 

understands the processes involved. Victim advocates educate victims so they are 

able to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being. Victim 

advocates also establish a link between the local community and victim support 

agencies. This helps to gain cooperation in achieving support for victims of sexual 

assault and enhances the capabilities of the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program. 

 Volunteer Victim Advocates: Volunteer victim advocates provide initial and ongoing support to victims of sexual assault. This support includes engaging with 

victims at the crisis intervention level, accompanying them to medical 

appointments, escorting them to military investigations (when they elect to make an 

unrestricted report) linking them to other community resources, and providing 

advocacy for specific individual needs. Volunteer victim advocates serve as the 

link between the victim, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office and the 

chain of command. They may also assist with Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office training, awareness, and prevention initiatives. 

 Other First Responders: In addition to sexual assault response coordinators and 

victim advocates, first responders encompass personnel in the following disciplines 

or positions; healthcare providers, security forces, special investigators, legal 

professionals, chaplains, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, commanders 

and Victim Witness Assistance Program personnel. Of these other responders, 

medical personnel and chaplains maintain confidential privileges; the rest are 

mandated reporters of sexual assault. They are a vital first point of contact for 
58

victims and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. First 

responders must understand victims’ needs and protect their privileges. Question 

4.13 further explains the roles of the first responders. 

Leadership Summit: In December 2013, the Air Force conducted a senior leader’s 

summit for wing commanders and command chiefs with a full day dedicated to sexual 

assault training and discussion. For that event, major command and installation sexual 

assault response coordinators were invited to participate. Leading subject matter experts 

in the field of sexual assault prevention spoke directly to every Air Force wing 

commander. The summit provided blocks of instruction that covered topics, such as, 

victim trauma and recovery, offender behaviors, and offered the victim perspective of this 

crime. Dr. Leslie Lebowitz, a clinical psychologist who has worked for decades with 

sexual assault survivors, presented facts about the neurobiology of trauma and how 

commanders can provide a more informed response to sexual assault victims. 

Commanders were also taught by Mr. David Markel, United States Army Military Police 

School expert, about societal myths that allow potential sex offenders to maneuver 

effectively among us without suspicion and detection. Ms. Anne Munch, a twenty-seven 

year criminal prosecutor, shared information about grooming behaviors of offenders and 

discussed how they capitalize on victim vulnerabilities. Attendees also received legal and 

policy updates from a panel of Air Force attorneys. The summit culminated with two 

survivors, one male and one female, sharing their sexual assault stories. They also 

highlighted the supportive services provided by the sexual assault prevention and

response office and the benefits of effective leadership engagement. These powerful 

presentations raised awareness and emphasized the importance of command 

involvement, empathy, and their ability to recognize the dynamics of offender behaviors. 

This summit provided clarity and a greater appreciation of this very complex issue and 

laid the groundwork for future policies and practices that reinforce core values and mutual 

respect. 

Commanders’ Role in Victim Advocacy: Commanders are required to cultivate a 

command climate that encourages sexual assault victims to seek care. To codify that 

requirement, on May 8, 2014, the Air Force published Air Force Instruction 1-2, 

Commander’s Responsibilities, establishing broad responsibilities and expectations for 

commanders. This instruction includes guidance to commanders to be morally and 

ethically above reproach and to exemplify Air Force Core Values and standards in their 

professional and personal lives. It directs commanders to establish and maintain a 

healthy command climate that fosters good order and discipline, teamwork, cohesion and 

trust that ensures members are treated with dignity, respect and inclusion and does not 

tolerate harassment, assault or unlawful discrimination of any kind.

Air Force Guidance Memorandum Two to Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and 

Enlisted Evaluation Systems, January 1, 2014, defines commanders and noncommissioned officers’ explicit responsibilities for creating climates of dignity and respect. 

The guidance memorandum sets forth expectations of fair and equal treatment to include 

an environment free of sexual harassment, unlawful discrimination, and sexual assault. 

The guidance memorandum charges commanders with the responsibility to create a 

healthy climate and adhere to Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program 
59

principles. Raters are also required to evaluate their subordinates on what the member 

did to ensure a healthy organizational climate.

Air Force Guidance Memorandum Three to the same Air Force Instruction dated July 1, 

2014, further mandated raters to ensure Airmen up to the grade of senior Airman know 

they are expected to contribute to a healthy organizational climate while all noncommissioned officers and officers are accountable for creating healthy organizational 

climates. This memorandum further documented a commander’s responsibility for 

ensuring their unit has a healthy climate. Raters at every level are required to discuss 

these areas with Airmen through the new Airman Comprehensive Assessment. This 

assessment is a formal conversation, accompanied by a form, between the rater and 

Airman discussing all aspects of duty performance, career development, and personal 

accountability. These new requirements are critical to ensuring that Airmen understand 

their role in creating a healthy culture and environment. 

Victims/Survivor: A critical aspect of advocacy is to provide education and support to 

sexual assault victims. Advocates provide information and referrals for resources to 

provide the victim the services necessary to transition from a victim to a survivor. Each 

person will transition through this process on his or her own timeline, healing physically, 

emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The healing process can be a life-changing event of 

empowerment, choice, and self-determination.

Expedited Transfer: In December 2011, the Air Force established policies and 

procedures to allow victims to request a temporary or permanent change of assignment or 

a permanent change of station referred to as an expedited transfer. This move to another 

unit or location is intended to provide victims another opportunity for additional support

and to protect the victim from any potential retaliation for reporting the assault. Air Force 

sexual assault response coordinators will advise victims of the option to request an 

expedited transfer as part of the initial reporting process. In February 2014, the Air Force 

further established expedited transfer policies and procedures as directed by the 

Secretary of Defense to allow the administrative reassignment or transfer of a member 

who is accused of committing a sexual assault or related offense, balancing interests of 

the victim and accused. This policy change has been implemented through an Air Force 

Guidance Memorandum to Air Force Instruction 36-2110, Assignments, to enhance the 

protections afforded to victims. Previously commanders had the authority to 

administratively reassign an accused, but it was not an express requirement that vice 

commanders consider this option when acting on a victim’s expedited transfer request. 

The number of expedited transfers requested during fiscal year 2014 was 125 and 117

were approved. Unfortunately, one victim was denied her expedited transfer request 

because the Family Advocacy Program (FAP) took control of the case under the unofficial 

Air Force FAP expanded definition of “intimate partner.” The case would not have been 

considered a FAP case under the published Air Force Instruction criteria. The Air Force is 

working to establish clear and consistent policy regarding the cases that will be managed 

under FAP and the availability of Expedited Transfer for victims. 

Airmen: All Airmen are responsible for eliminating sexual assault and supporting 

survivors. The Air Force recognizes that it takes all Airmen engaged in a continual 
60

collaborative effort to eliminate sexual assault from its ranks. 

Reports of Sexual Assault Over Time: A key gauge to understanding victim confidence 

in program is reports of sexual assault over time. Reporting data displayed in chart 4.1

suggests that victim confidence and trust has continued to strengthen in fiscal year 2014

inspiring Airmen to report sexual assaults through either restricted or unrestricted 

avenues. The Air Force delivered focused, competent, and compassionate care for its 

victims from the initiation of a sexual assault report through case disposition. 

Chart 4.1 – Annual Reports of Sexual Assault

The trend of increased reporting continued in fiscal year 2014. The percentage increases 

from fiscal year 2012 to 2014 is 46%. Of further note is the decreased proportion of 

restricted reporting. The percentage of total reports that are restricted for fiscal year 2014 

is 30%. Although the Air Force fully supports the restricted reporting option, this 

proportional decrease in restricted reporting may indicate increased confidence in the 

military justice system and the overall Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. 

The Air Force believes the increase in reporting is an indication that a larger percentage 

of victims are coming forward to receive victim care and are reporting this crime so an 

investigation can take place and commanders can hold assailants appropriately 

accountable. 

Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey: 

This survey is designed to measure command climate and Airmen’s confidence in the

appropriate execution of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. 
61

Beginning in January 2014, the Air Force mandated the use of the Defense Equal 

Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey. Prior to the use of the 

Defense Equal Opportunity Management Organizational Climate Survey, the Air Force 

used a Unit Climate Assessment tool to survey and focus on potential equal opportunity 

and harassment issues within Air Force organizations. In February 2012, the Air Force 

added six sexual assault questions to the Air Force Unit Climate Assessment. These 

questions were added because a work environment and/or a commander that permits 

sexual harassment creates an environment tolerant of sexual assault. Historically, this 

survey was administered 180 days or more into command and then every two years 

thereafter. In 2013, the Air Force updated policy to combat sexual assault and began 

fielding the survey to unit members within 120 days of a commander assuming command 

of a new unit and annually thereafter (reference question 1.9 for more information).

The results from these surveys are not only provided to the commander, but also to the 

members of the units and the commander’s leadership. Since the surveys are completed 

on an annual basis, it allows commanders to identify improvement areas and issues that 

need to be addressed during their tenure. Results suggest that Air Force commanders 

are actively supporting the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program and victim 

reporting as shown in the following charts.

in ensuring a victim of sexual assault is provided the opportunity to remove themselves 

from any situation that may present potential concern and/or danger. Leadership uses 

tools such as local permanent change of assignments, assigning victims to new dorms 

and/or expedited transfers to ensure the safety of any person reporting an allegation of 

sexual assault.

33% believe that to a “slight,” “moderate,” and/or “very likely” extent unit members would 

label the person making the report a trouble maker. The Air Force has provided extensive 

training and education on the effects of victim blaming and how this issue can create 

barriers to reporting. The Air Force is committed to providing the necessary support to 

any person coming forward to report a sexual assault and to continue to educate and train 

the force that this is unacceptable behavior.

The responses suggest that 93% of Airmen trust their unit peers and would support 

victims making a report. While there is approximately 7% of the population that believes 

unit members would not significantly support individuals who come forward, the Air Force 

continues to improve training to increase victim empathy and each Airman’s responsibility 

to ensure they are creating a culture of “dignity and respect.”

Special Victims’ Counsel Program Victim Impact Survey: The Air Force, as the first 

service to implement the Special Victims’ Counsel Program, proactively initiated a victim 

impact survey. The anonymous survey was developed in consultation with several 

civilian subject matter experts and fielded in March 2013 in order to measure program 

effectiveness as a whole. The survey measured whether special victims’ counsel were 

effectively assisting their clients with various military justice matters, including assisting 

victims with understanding the investigative and courts-martial processes, their rights as 

crime victims, and whether they felt they were able to exercise their rights as crime 

victims. The survey also measured victims’ subjective feelings on whether they felt 

supported throughout the military justice process. The survey is now provided to all 

sexual assault victims involved in the military justice process.

Results of the survey for fiscal year 2014 include:

 91% "extremely satisfied" with the advice and support the special victims’ counsel 

provided during the Article 32 hearing and court-martial (8% "satisfied"; 1% 

"dissatisfied");

 98% would recommend other victims request special victims’ counsel;

 94% indicated their special victims’ counsel advocated effectively on their behalf;

 96% indicated their special victims’ counsel helped them understand the

Survey results are used to shape special victims’ counsel policy and training. 

Additionally, the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Program regularly shares the 

responses with Air Force leadership to enable them to assess victims’ perception of the 

support they received throughout the military justice process. Victims have the option of 

providing their name when they fill out the survey. When victims include their name, their 

feedback is shared with their special victims’ counsel, providing them with a great sense 

of accomplishment and renewed motivation. 

The data collected in fiscal year 2014 suggests that the Air Force is on track toward 

achieving the Advocacy/Victim Assistance Endstate: “high quality services and support 

to instill confidence and trust, strengthen resilience, and inspire victims to report”. 

Nevertheless, we must remain vigilant to ensure that every victim who comes forward 

receives the very best care available.

4.2 Describe your progress in allowing Reserve Component Service members

who are victims of sexual assault while on active duty to remain on active duty

status to obtain the treatment and support afforded active duty members.

In August 2012, the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard collaborated to issue the 

Reserve Component medical continuation policy, which extended entitlements to all

Reserve Component sexual assault victims serving in Title 10 status. Prior to this policy, 

Reserve Component sexual assault victims were allowed to remain on active duty on a 

case by case basis to obtain treatment and support. To determine a Reserve Component 

member’s eligibility, commanders used a variety of factors to include: line of duty 

determination, orders, and commander’s discretion at the time the sexual assault report is 

made. 

In addition to extending services and entitlements, the policy also created the Reserve 

Component Case Management Division located at the Total Force Service Center, Joint 

Base San Antonio, Texas. The Case Management Division was established in April 2013 

to serve ill and injured Reserve Component Airmen. The division handles a variety of 

issues and is the focal point for coordinating the extension of services for Reserve 

Component sexual assault victims. In fiscal year 2014, a total of 14 Reserve Component 

sexual assault victims were assisted by the Case Management Division. 

On the policy front, the soon to be released Air Force Instruction 36-2910, Line of Duty 

Determination, will codify the aforementioned medical continuation policy. Furthermore, 

the revamped Air Force Instruction will have specific sections and chapters devoted to 

Reserve Component line of duty determination, medical continuation responsibilities, and 

incapacitation pay processing and entitlements for sexual assault victims.

4.3 Describe your progress in ensuring that a member of the Reserve

Components who is a victim of sexual assault by another member of the Reserve
69

Components has timely access to a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator.

To facilitate a timely response to sexual assault victims, Reserve Component units 

provide 24/7 access to a sexual assault response coordinator and use the Department of 

Defense Safe Helpline. The Safe Helpline serves as central communication mode in 

linking victims with not only a sexual assault response coordinator, but also a range of 

healthcare and emergency response services worldwide should they be required. Air 

National Guard and reserve wings also promote and distribute a contact card that Airmen

may use to directly contact a sexual assault response coordinator or healthcare provider.

Additional measures to support victim response include the Reserve Component’s

support and participation in the Department of Defense Safe Helpline and SharePoint 

sites. These communication mediums direct sexual assault victims to healthcare 

providers and sexual assault response coordinators to expedite care. Finally, the 

Reserve Component provides pre- and post- deployment training and annual sexual 

assault prevention and response training to all its’ Airmen as a continuous education 

process. These critical training seminars stress the vital services provided by sexual 

assault response coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response victim 

advocates should a Reserve Component Airman need their respective assistance at 

home or abroad. 

The Reserve Component typically handles sexual assault cases based on the victim’s 

home station of assignment. In cases where the victim is deployed or in a temporary duty 

assignment, the installation sexual assault response coordinator at the deployed or 

temporary duty assignment location will assume responsibility of the victim until either the 

member is transferred back to their home unit (if required) or their tour of duty is 

complete. The Air National Guard and reserve units aim to create a seamless transition 

in victim services throughout the entire process for a sexual assault victim. The intent

behind this initiative is to ensure Reserve Component Airmen understand they are never 

out of sight or out of mind while serving regardless of their status at the time of an assault.

Chart 4.12 – Certified Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Personnel

The Air Force has more capability to respond than is required by law and as of September 

30, 2014, the Air Force has 8 unfilled uniformed sexual assault response coordinator 

positions. Four of the eight slots will be filled in fiscal year 2015 and the remaining 

vacancies are awaiting matches. Additionally, there are 3 uniformed sexual assault 

response coordinators who are trained in positions and awaiting certification. 

Furthermore, there are five unfilled sexual assault prevention and response victim 

advocate civil service positions. Currently, four of the five positions have selected an 

applicant; however, the Air Force is awaiting certification training to complete the 

necessary hiring requirements. In addition, the Air Force has one sexual assault 

response coordinator civil service position that is unfilled due to a retirement and is 

actively advertising the position to fill it early in fiscal year 2015.

4.5 Describe what measures have been taken by your Service to ensure that

Service members are informed in a timely manner of the member’s option to

request a Military Protective Order from the command of assignment. Include

documentation that requires law enforcement agents to document military 

protective orders in their investigative case files, to include documentation for

Reserve Component personnel in title 10 status.

Sexual Assault Response Coordinators: Since the inception of the Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program in 2005, the Air Force has trained sexual assault 

response coordinators to inform victims that they may request a military protective order. 

This was codified in Air Force Instruction 36-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program, dated September 2008. Sexual assault victims are informed about 

military protective orders when first making a sexual assault report. Sexual assault 
71

response coordinators, using block 1.b (3) on the Department of Defense Form 2910, 

Victim Reporting Preference Statement, must inform every victim that they may request a 

military protective order. Commanders are also educated in key personnel briefings and 

when faced with an incident in their unit to consider if a military protective order is 

required for each sexual assault report. 

Office of Special Investigations: The Air Force Office of Special Investigations 

investigates all allegations of rape, sexual assault, non-consensual sodomy, aggravated 

sexual contact, and abusive sexual contact over which the Air Force has investigative 

jurisdiction. The Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations requires that 

agents document information regarding civilian and military protective orders in their

electronic investigative information management system. This requirement also applies

to protective orders associated with reserve component personnel in Title 10 status when 

the person is a subject or victim of an Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case.

Security Forces: Air Force Security Forces provides first-response military policing and 

law enforcement capability on Air Force installations worldwide. Military protective order 

violations that require a police response on an Air Force installation will normally be 

handled by security forces personnel. When commanders provide a copy of the order, 

security forces personnel have the ability to document a military protective order in a 

National Crime Information Center Protective Order File if the order has been issued 

against a member of the armed forces and an individual involved in the order does not 

reside on a military installation throughout the duration of the order. The inclusion of 

military protective orders in the National Crime Information Center helps ensure violations 

committed off the installation are reported to security forces by local law enforcement 

officials. Security forces personnel will, in turn, report the violation to the subject’s 

commander. 

4.6 Describe your efforts to establish processes for reviewing credentials,

qualifications, and refresher training for victim-sensitive personnel positions. 

Describe your Service’s process to address inappropriate behavior demonstrated

by those in victim-sensitive personnel positions. Include process for revocation

of certification if appropriate.

Standards for victim assistance personnel are set forth in Department of Defense 

Instruction 6400.07, Standards for Victim Assistance Services in the Military Community,

November 25, 2013. The standards include ethical benchmarks designed to ensure 

proper interaction between victim assistance personnel and those they assist. Victim 

assistance personnel will immediately lose their position to undergo an investigation on 

their merits if they engage in misconduct proscribed by these ethical benchmarks. Such 

considerations are focused primarily on continual, professional, and competent provision 

of services to victims and upon the best interests of the Air Force.

Describe your efforts to establish processes for reviewing credentials,

qualifications, and refresher training for victim-sensitive personnel positions

Sexual Assault Response Coordinators Credentialing: Air Force sexual assault 
72

response coordinators and sexual assault victim advocates are screened prior to being 

hired into the position. Sexual assault response coordinator positions are filled by either a 

military officer or general schedule civilian. Civilians undergo a background and 

qualification screening prior to starting work for the Air Force. The initial screening is 

conducted by the Air Force Personnel Center through the civilian hiring process as 

outlined by the Office of Personnel Management. Military sexual assault response 

coordinators must be in the grade of first lieutenant or higher. Interested military officers 

must apply and interview with either an installation or major command sexual assault 

response coordinator in order to be selected as a sexual assault response coordinator.

Once selected for a full-time sexual assault response coordinator or victim advocate

position, the individual must complete the 64-hour Air Force Sexual Assault Response 

Course taught at Air University. Volunteer victim advocates complete a 40-hour course 

taught by the installation sexual assault response coordinator at their assigned location. 

Sexual assault prevention and response personnel apply for Defense Sexual Assault 

Advocate Certification by completing the Department of Defense Form 2950, Defense 

Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Application Packet. As outlined in the application 

packet, an applicant’s commander must review and sign the application stating that all 

criteria established within Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program have 

been met.

Judge Advocate General Corps Credentialing: As of August 2014, The Judge 

Advocate General Corps implemented a formalized screening process for nominating the 

“best qualified” judge advocates for special victims’ counsel and senior special victims’ 

counsel. This screening process was used to nominate the latest cadre of special victims’ 

counsel and senior special victims’ counsel for projected January 2015 assignments and 

July 2015 assignments. 

The Judge Advocate General approves all judge advocate assignments, including special 

victims’ counsel and senior special victims’ counsel. The Air Force Judge Advocate 

General Corps assignments officer recommends to The Judge Advocate General who 

should be assigned as special victims’ counsel and senior special victims’ counsel, as 

well as their assignment location. From the outset, the assignments officer has access to 

every judge advocate's accession file and complete duty history, to include officer 

performance reports, awards and decorations, assignment history, and any 

instances/allegations of misconduct. Special victims’ counsel and senior special victims’ 

counsel candidates are then vetted through the following process.

The Director of the Professional Development Branch sends a call for nominations to 

every major command staff judge advocate and director to solicit input for “best qualified” 

personnel using the following criteria:

 Trial Experience: Candidates are analyzed on their courts-martial experience to 

include, the number of courts-martial tried, a breakdown of litigated, partially 

litigated, and guilty plea trials, an examination of the types of offenses tried, and 

the extent of the candidate’s participation in the trial (ex. opening statement, voir 
73

dire, etc.). A candidate must also be certified by The Judge Advocate General as a 

trial and defense counsel through the rigorous field certification program. In that 

program, judge advocates must have served effectively as a trial or assistant trial 

counsel on a number of courts-martial, demonstrated comprehension of 

fundamental principles of military criminal law, procedure, and evidence, and 

demonstrated competence in fundamental litigation skills including case 

preparation, motions practice, voir dire, opening statement, direct and cross 

examination, making objections, and closing and sentencing arguments. Finally, 

candidates must be recommended by both their supervisory Staff Judge Advocate

and by a military judge to be trial certified. Judge advocates are not trial and 

defense certified directly out of the basic judge advocate training course. 

 Witness/Victim Interactions: Based on inputs from a candidate's direct supervisor 

(e.g., staff judge advocate) and other sources, to include inputs from senior trial 

counsel, the candidate's interactions with witnesses and victims are analyzed to 

ensure each candidate possesses the proper disposition to handle the sensitive 

nature of these duties.

 Officership/Leadership/Work Ethic: In addition to the workload and subject matter, 

special victims’ counsel and senior special victims’ counsel must run their own 

office with minimal supervision. Candidates are analyzed for their officership, 

ability to work autonomously, organization and time-management skills, specialized 

training, maturity, and responsibility, to ensure they have the skills and work ethic 

needed for such a position.

 Supervisor/Major Command Recommendation: The candidate's supervisor (e.g., 

staff judge advocate) completes an assessment regarding the candidate’s fitness 

for the position, which is then coordinated through the chain of command to the 

major command staff judge advocate for final concurrence/non-concurrence.

 Special Victims’ Counsel Chief Coordination: Once a candidate goes through the 

above vetting process, the assignments officer coordinates all nominations with the 

Chief, Special Victims’ Counsel Division, to ensure each candidate meets the 

demands and expectations of the Special Victims’ Counsel Program’s leadership. 

The Judge Advocate General does not select a candidate to become a special victims’ 

counsel or senior special victims’ counsel until after the vetting process above is complete 

and the candidate's supervisor and chain of command, the Special Victims’ Counsel

Chief, and the Professional Development Directorate all concur that a candidate is a 

viable special victims’ counsel. 

In addition to the increasing number of formal, in-residence courses, a number of distance 

education courses and webinars were added in 2014 to enhance refresher training 

options, designed to quickly provide information on changes in the law to attorneys and 

paralegals in the field. Finally, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program has facilitated 

collaboration within the special victims’ counsel community by utilizing resources available 

through the Air Force Judge Advocate Corps e-learning system. The Special Victims’ 
74

Counsel Deskbook (restricted to special victims’ counsel and special victims’ paralegals) 

includes resources such as templates for basic practice, recordings of webcasts from

programs by other Federal agencies (Department of Justice, Office of Victims of Crime) 

and universities, templates for motion practice, and Department of Defense, and civilian 

resources. The Special Victims’ Counsel Cohort (also restricted to special victims’ 

counsel and special victims’ paralegals) allows for special victims’ counsel to share 

current experiences, strategies, responses and resources in a collaborative manner that 

supports one another’s practice, even while special victims’ counsel are geographically 

separated. 

Medical Personnel Credentialing: The processes for reviewing credentials, 

qualifications and training for medical providers in victim-sensitive personnel positions is 

codified in Air Force Instruction 44-119, Medical Quality Operations, August 16, 2011. 

These processes implement the requirements of the Department of Defense 

Memorandum 6025.13, Medical Quality Assurance and Clinical Quality Management in 

the Military Health System and civilian accrediting agencies. 

The processes ensure providers meet established criteria of professional competence, 

moral character, ethical conduct and screens for potential mental health and substance 

abuse that could impact the provision of safe patient care. Information on the required 

credentials, to include primary source verification of the credentials, is maintained in the 

Department of Defense Centralized Credential Quality Assurance System. 

Once granted permission to practice, providers within a facility undergo an initial and ongoing comprehensive peer review process in accordance with Air Force Instruction 44-

119, Medical Quality Operations. This instruction outlines actions in response to a threat 

or potential threat to patient safety/staff or to the integrity of the Air Force Medical Service 

related to clinical incompetence, professional misconduct, or impairment. In addition, 

providers are held accountable to the Air Force Clinical Code of Conduct for 

unprofessional and disruptive behaviors that threaten the provision of safe, high quality 

care. 

Describe your Service’s process to address inappropriate behavior demonstrated

by those in victim-sensitive personnel positions. Include process for revocation

of certification if appropriate.

Sexual Assault Response Coordinators Revocation: There may be a time when an 

individual comes under investigation for a violation of the professional code of ethics 

established within the Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program. Under 

these circumstances, the commander conducts a command directed investigation (if the 

allegation is a sexual assault, Air Force Office of Special Investigations conducts the 

investigation). The individual is informed that they are under investigation and that during 

the investigation their certification is suspended. During the suspension, this individual is 

not permitted to provide any victim services. Once the investigation is complete and a 

determination has been provided, the commander can elect to either reinstate or revoke 

the individual’s certification. The process is the same for our sexual assault prevention 

and response victim advocates as well.
75

Upon determining that a certification must be revoked, the commander has three duty 

days to provide the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office with a 

written description of the misconduct and the determination from the investigation. The 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office retains the written revocation 

notification and the contacts Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program

office along with Office of the Secretary of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office to revoke the individual’s certification.

Judge Advocate General Corps Revocation: Any allegation of misconduct committed 

by an attorney or paralegal in a victim-sensitive personnel position is immediately reported 

to the Commander, Air Force Legal Operations Agency, for investigation by appropriate 

authorities. Based on the nature of the allegation, the commander will make an initial 

determination as to the attorney’s or paralegal’s fitness for duty in the victim-sensitive 

position. Upon completion of the investigation, a determination will be made by the 

commander to determine whether personnel, administrative or military justice action 

should be taken against the attorney or paralegal. If good cause exists to revoke a judge 

advocate’s certification, the revocation process outlined in Air Force Instruction 51-103, 

Judge Advocate Professional Development, will be followed. Reasons for revocation of 

certification include, when an officer fails to maintain professional licensing standards, an 

officer fails to maintain ethical or professional responsibility standards, an officer violates 

the Uniform Code of Military Justice, an officer violates a state or federal criminal 

statute(s), or The Judge Advocate General determines that withdrawal is in the best 

interest of the Air Force.

Medical Personnel Revocation: In accordance with the Air Force Instruction, the Air 

Force Surgeon General may direct reporting to the National Practitioner Data Bank, 

state(s) of licensure, and other certifying bodies when a provider's practice has been 

adversely impacted due to clinical incompetence, professional misconduct, or impairment. 

Non-privileged providers are also expected to maintain high levels of professionalism, 

integrity, and standards of conduct when assisting victims of domestic abuse or assault. 

Breaches in professional behavior are initially addressed by the supervisor, commander, 

and contract representative in the case of contractors. Initial efforts focus on correcting 

the inappropriate behavior. If education and re-training efforts fail, or if individual actions 

are of such nature to discredit the individual’s ability to effectively perform the designated 

duties, removal or termination from the position remains an option. Active duty or 

government civilians may be reassigned, while contract staff members are more

commonly terminated. 

4.7 Describe your progress in ensuring all sexual assault response 

coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates

are Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certified prior to

performing the duties of a sexual assault response coordinator and sexual 

assault prevention and response victim advocate.

As of January 2014, sexual assault response coordinators and full-time victim advocates 

must complete 64 hours of initial training by attending the Air Force Sexual Assault 
76

Response Course taught at Air University for initial certification. Volunteer victim 

advocates must complete a 40-hour course taught by the installation sexual assault 

response coordinator or sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate at their

assigned installation for initial certification. The Department of Defense Sexual Assault 

Advocate Certification Program certifies sexual assault response coordinators and 

volunteer victim advocates upon completion of the course by completing the Department 

of Defense Form 2950, Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification 

Program Application Packet. The application packet includes a memorandum outlining 

experience, signed Code of Professional Ethics, and two signed letters of 

recommendation. 

Air Force sexual assault response coordinators and victim advocates cannot work directly 

with victims until they have received this national certification. This is documented in their 

training record and reviewed in the certification agency’s bi-weekly reports. Once certified

they can be assigned, as appropriate, to work with victims, train installation personnel, 

and support outreach efforts. In addition, they must receive annual responder training,

earn thirty-two hours of continuing education units every two years and undergo an initial

National Agency Background Check.

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office tracks sexual assault 

response coordinators and victim advocates personnel data on a monthly basis. Major 

command sexual assault response coordinators provide monthly updates on the identities 

and credentials of their sexual assault response coordinators and victim advocates. In 

addition, they report the number of sexual assault response coordinators and victim 

advocates billets authorized and occupied at the installation level. For information 

regarding Air Force staffing levels for full time sexual assault response coordinators and 

sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates reference question 4.4.

4.8 Describe your continued efforts to ensure that the 24/7 Department of 

Defense Safe Helpline has accurate contact information for on-base sexual 

assault prevention and response resources (i.e., Chaplains, sexual assault 

response coordinators, Military Police, Medical Personnel).

Safe Helpline: Air Force procedures for supporting the Department of Defense Safe

Helpline contain specific guidelines via a memorandum of understanding with each 

Service Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. Each installation is required to 

provide the Safe Helpline with current information for the following first responders: 

sexual assault response coordinators, legal representatives, medical support, chaplains, 

and law enforcement personnel. This contact information allows Safe Helpline agents to 

efficiently and effectively provide timely referrals and response to victim care, feedback, 

and to publicize referral resources to service members, civilians, and their families. In 

order to maintain accurate information in the website’s database, the Department of 

Defense’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office executes a semi-annual audit 

to verify contact numbers listed in the Safe Helpline database are correct and properly 

aligned with the listed base, installation, unit, and organization. The Rape, Abuse and

Incest National Network Organization conducts this audit semi-annually through a 

contractual agreement with the Department of Defense. 
77

Prior to the audit conducted by the Department of Defense, the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office tasked the major command program managers to 

conduct their own self-inspection audit with their installation sexual assault prevention and 

response teams. Updates and/or deletions are required to be reported back to 

Headquarters Air Force for reconciliation. All personnel inputs are then updated via the 

Responder Administration Website. Upon completion of the audit, a report is generated 

on the “success rate” based on positive and/or confirmed contact with an organization. 

Discrepancies from the Audit are reconciled by the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response Office and the Safe Helpline is updated accordingly. The final audit report 

reflects phone verifications and reconciliation results.

The final verification results from the September 2014 audit are shown below:

 Sexual assault response coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response 

victim advocates -114 contacts/114 attempts = 100% success rate 

 First Responders (Chaplains, legal assistance, medical resources, and military 

police) - 389 contacts/437 attempts = 89% success rate

 Air Force Overall - 503 contacts/551 attempts = 91% success rate

Headquarters Air Force recognizes the importance of accurate and up-to-date information 

as part of the response capability of its program and has identified the need for significant 

improvement in keeping the website properly updated. In its effort to provide the most 

reliable information possible, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Office conducts quarterly Safe Helpline audits to ensure continued and appropriate victim 

response and support capabilities are available. They have solicited the assistance of the 

medical advisor for a solution to standardize contact information for the medical 

responders listed on the Safe Helpline. The pro-active initiative will increase should 

increase our “success rate” during the bi-annual audits.

4.9 Describe your efforts to publicize various sexual assault prevention and 

response resources, such as Department of Defense Safe Helpline, to all Service

Members.

Sexual assault prevention and response continues to be a top priority for Air Force 

leaders. In early fiscal year 2014, Air Force leaders recognized the need for a more 

robust headquarters structure for the mission of sexual assault prevention and response 

in order to synchronize efforts across the service and effect change on this critical issue. 

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office remains steadfast in its 

efforts to provide the community with effective tools to help address sexual assault 

concerns. In November 2013, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Office directed each installation via public affairs guidance to establish and maintain an 

installation public website displaying and promoting sexual assault prevention and 

response features that are visibly accessible on every installation public webpage. 

This guidance established Headquarters Air Force would be responsible for maintaining 

an Air Force-level sexual assault prevention and response website containing up-to-date 

training and tools for installations to use and reference. Installations were mandated to 
78

use push down tabs to link their installation websites to the Headquarters Air Force 

website. In addition, the guidance established that Headquarters Air Force would create 

a link on their website to connect to the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corps

website where individuals could view a list of sexual assault convictions across the Air 

Force.

For each installation, the public affairs guidance required sexual assault prevention and 

response websites to be linked from the installations homepage and “easy to find.” 

Information maintained on the webpage includes, but is not limited to, definitions, 

education material, special victims’ counsel information, and links to the Judge Advocate’s 

webpage, the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 

webpage and the Department of Defense Safe Helpline response webpage.

In addition, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office mailed banners 

for the Safe Helpline to all major command program managers for distribution to their 

installations. The banners are used as part of the sexual assault response coordinator’s 

awareness campaigns to promote knowledge and awareness of this resource to all 

installation service members, civilians, and family members.

4.10 Describe your progress in ensuring victims are afforded their legal rights,

protections, and services.

Department of Defense and Air Force policy, implemented through the Victim and 

Witness Assistance Program under Air Force Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military 

Justice, previously outlined the rights given to victims of crime. Section 1701 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 made many rights previously 

afforded by policy statutory and provided additional rights to victims through Article 6b of 

the Uniform Code of Military Justice in cases arising under the Uniform Code of Military 

Justice. The eight substantive rights that victims have under Article 6b are: 

 The right to be reasonably protected from the accused

 The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of preliminary hearings, courtsmartial, clemency and parole hearings, and release or escape of the accused from 

confinement

 The right not to be excluded from a public hearing or proceeding

 The right to be reasonably heard at a pretrial confinement, sentencing, or clemency 

and parole board hearing

 The right to confer with trial counsel

 The right to restitution as provided in law

 The right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay
79

 The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy 

Victims are informed of these rights through the Victim and Witness Assistance Program, 

by trial counsel, and by special victims’ counsel.

Additionally, on June 6, 2013, Air Force Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military 

Justice, was updated to require that the convening authority’s staff judge advocate 

provide a letter to the victim inviting them to provide input as to whether the convening 

authority should approve or disapprove court-martial findings and sentence or grant 

clemency. This requirement has greatly increased the convening authority’s visibility on 

the victim desires on matters of clemency giving the victim a voice in this determination. 

Congress legislated this requirement as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for 

fiscal year 2014 through an amendment to Article 60, Uniform Code of Military Justice. 

On June 13, 2014 the President signed Executive Order 13669 adding a new Rule for 

Court-Martial 1105A to implement the amendment to Article 60 pertaining to victim impact 

statements at clemency. Air Force Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military Justice, 

was then further updated on September 25, 2014 to incorporate this change and the slight 

changes the National Defense Authorization Act and Rule for Court-Martial 1105A made 

to the year old Air Force policy.

The Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Program filed the first appeal of a military judge’s 

ruling that denied a special victims’ counsel standing to argue in court and obtained a 

seminal ruling from the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces that recognizes a 

“reasonable opportunity to be heard at a hearing [under Military Rule of Evidences 412 

and 513] includes the right to present facts and legal argument, and that a victim or 

patient who is represented by counsel can be heard through counsel.” LRM v. 

Kastenberg, 72 M.J. 364 (C.A.A.F. July 18, 2013). Over the life of the program, special 

victims’ counsel have ensured victims are afforded their rights by attending approximately 

1,800 interviews with them, representing them in over 200 Article 32 hearings and in 175 

courts-martial. In the Victim Impact Survey responses, 82% indicated that their special 

victims’ counsel advocated a privacy right on their behalf. Furthermore, special victims’ 

counsel provide holistic representation and work daily to ensure protections, such as 

expedited transfers, and services, such as obtaining transitional compensation.

In June 2014, Air Force sexual assault response coordinators and sexual assault

prevention and response victim advocates began using the revised Department of 

Defense Form 2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement. The revised form 

incorporated additional legal rights, protections, and services not covered in the previous 

edition. Now, prior to electing a reporting option, eligible victims are additionally informed 

about the opportunity to be assigned special victims’ counsel, to request an expedited 

transfer, military or civilian protective order, and representation by defense counsel 

regarding collateral misconduct. Victims are also informed they must provide consent to 

transfer case documents to another sexual assault response coordinator and if they 

experience coercion, retaliation, reprisal, or ostracism from supervisors or peers, they can 

report it to their sexual assault response coordinator, special victims’ counsel, 

commander, Victim Witness Assistance Program personnel or their Service Inspector 

General. Additionally, in Uniform Code of Military Justice cases, the victim is provided a 
80

Department of Defense Form 2701, Initial Information for Victims and Witnesses of Crime, 

which contains important information about their rights as a victim, from law enforcement 

or a Military Criminal Investigation Organization. 

In accordance with Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02, Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program Procedures, the Air Force conducts monthly Case 

Management Group meetings to review unrestricted and restricted cases of sexual 

assault. These meetings provide cohesive emotional, physical, and spiritual care of a 

victim in a collaborative environment with the collective goal of facilitating the survivor’s 

well-being and recovery. For restricted reports, the group membership is limited to the 

sexual assault response coordinator, victim advocate, and healthcare provider in order to 

maintain the protections of a restricted report. 

The Air Force appointed a representative from the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office to serve on the Department of Defense Victim Assistance Leadership 

Council. This Council advises the Secretary of Defense on policies and practices related 

to the provision of victim assistance across the Department of Defense. These victim 

assistance services focus on response, protection, and care for victims starting with the 

initial report and continuing through offense disposition or until the victim no longer 

requires services. We meet the competency, ethical, and foundational levels as 

prescribed in the Department of Defense Instruction 6400.07, Standards for Victim 

Assistance Services in the Military Community.

4.11 Describe your progress to improve the victim care services at Joint Bases, in

Joint Environments, and for the Reserve Components.

The Air Force provides victim care at Joint Bases, in Joint Environments, and at Reserve 

Component installations using a multi-faceted approach employing sexual assault 

response coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates. 

The sexual assault prevention and response staff, regardless of Service affiliation, 

collaborate on prevention, outreach, and training efforts at their installations. For a 

detailed description of their roles and the progress made to improve victim care, please 

reference question 4.1.

Active Component: Currently, there are twelve Joint Bases across the Department of 

Defense: Six are Air Force led: (Joint Base Charleston, Joint Base McGuire – Dix –

Lakehurst, Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Joint Base San 

Antonio, Joint Base Langley-Eustis); four are Navy led (Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, 

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Joint Base Guam, Joint Base Norfolk); and two are 

Army led: (Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall).

Joint Bases are similar to Air Force installations in the sense that at Airmen at Joint Bases

are trained to receive sexual assault prevention and response services and annual sexual 

assault prevention and response training from their Service. However, in accordance with 

Department of Defense policy, regardless of affiliation a service member can access 

sexual assault prevention and response services from any branch of service.
81

During the most recent Base Closure and Realignment Commission, medical 

supplements were required at each Joint Base location. A medical supplement directs in 

detail the coordination and provision of services and care to medical beneficiaries at each 

Base Closure and Realignment Commission location. Additionally, the Assistant 

Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs has oversight of the services and, therefore, the

military treatment facilities on each installation. Medical support and response to victims 

of sexual assault include: emergency services, primary care services, mental health 

services, the alcohol/drug abuse prevention and treatment services, and family advocacy 

program services. Over 55 Air Force military treatment facilities have memorandums of 

understanding with civilian centers of excellence for emergency services to ensure sexual 

assault victims are provided the highest quality care.

Reserve Component: To facilitate victim care the Air Force has a full-time civilian sexual 

assault response coordinator and a dedicated reserve officer victim advocate assigned to 

each of its 11 host installations (Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Grissom Air Reserve Base, 

Homestead Air Reserve Base, March Air Reserve Base, Minneapolis-St. Paul 

International Air Port Air Reserve Station, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort 

Worth (formally known as Carswell), Niagara Falls International Air Port Air Reserve 

Station, Pittsburgh International Air Port Air Reserve Station, Pope Army Airfield, 

Westover Air Reserve Base, and Youngstown Air Reserve Station). At each of these 

locations, Air Force Reserve Command assigns a traditional reserve officer in the rank of 

major to the installation sexual assault prevention and response office with the job title of 

sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate.

The Reserve Component facilitates care for its Airmen by referring sexual assault victims 

to medical and mental health treatment centers. To expedite care and meet a victim’s 

needs, reserve victims are generally referred to the nearest medical treatment facility or 

Veterans Administration facility. Coordinating care with Veteran’s Affairs enables the 

Reserve Component to meet a victim’s needs when they are geographically separated 

from a military treatment center.

The Air National Guard discusses their progress in improving victim care services at Joint 

Bases, and in Joint Environments in their annual report. Please reference question 4.11 

within the National Guard Bureau Submission for more detailed information. 

4.12 Describe your progress in strengthening participation in an integrated victim

services network of care.

Policy Updates: Several policy documents regarding victim care underwent revisions in 

fiscal year 2014, which required dedicated collaboration from various organizations. Air 

Force Instruction 44-102, Medical Care Management, Chapter 11 (Medical Response to 

Sexual Assault Victims) underwent a major revision and integrated inputs from the Air 

Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office, the Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations and the Judge Advocate General’s Corps. In addition, the Air Force 

Surgeon General collaborated with the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office to draft the forthcoming Air Force Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program. 
82

Family Advocacy: Headquarters Air Force Family Advocacy Program and the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office collaborated on multiple fronts in fiscal 

year 2014. First, both organizations led efforts to review Triage Guidelines for Domestic 

Abuse/Sexual Assault Cases and clarify instructions to minimize the potential risk for

violence in unmarried intimate partner sexual assault cases. Additionally, the Family 

Advocacy Program and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office worked together

to support various awareness campaigns (Dating Violence Awareness in February, Child 

Abuse/Sexual Assault Prevention (April) and Domestic Violence Awareness (October) to

educate the populace about where to go for help and support. 

Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course Audit: In addition, the Air Force 

Surgeon General’s office partnered with the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office in an audit/evaluation of the current Air Force Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinator Course. The intended goal of the audit is to ensure medical and mental 

health training content regarding victim care and support is accurate. The Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office is currently evaluating the results of the 

audit and will incorporate any necessary updates regarding medical and mental health 

content to the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course in fiscal year 2015.

Sexual Assault Case Management Group: The Sexual Assault Case Management 

Group is the primary forum for facilitating and strengthening integrated victim services. 

The installation commander or host commander has program oversight for the Case 

Management Group and chairs this multi-disciplinary team on a monthly basis. The Case 

Management Group accomplishes monthly reviews on individual cases for unrestricted 

reports and provides commanders with victim updates. Additionally, the group ensures 

victims have access to and are encouraged to seek out quality services. Commanders 

are required to attend the case management meeting and update the victim on the status 

of their case. 

Safe Helpline: The Department of Defense Safe Helpline also offers a number of 

opportunities to strengthen participation in victim services network of care. The Safe 

Helpline provides an integrated victim crisis support service for members of the 

Department of Defense community who may be affected by sexual assault. Safe Helpline 

delivers live, one-on-one support and information to the worldwide Department of Defense 

community. The service is confidential, anonymous, secure, and available worldwide, 

24/7 by click, call or text — providing victims with the help they need anytime, anywhere. 

This provision is especially vital for service members who serve out of country, or in 

remote locations.

4.13 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian victim response

organizations to improve interoperability.

Many members of the sexual assault prevention and response team interact with civilian 

victim response organizations. The following is a synopsis of each of those interactions:

 Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Collaboration: Major command sexual 
83

assault response coordinators are responsible for administering the Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program within their respective commands and 

providing functional oversight and guidance for installation sexual assault response 

coordinators to ensure compliance. During July 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office hosted the first major command Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator Orientation. This training was designed to enhance 

knowledge, skills and the ability to assist installation-level sexual assault response 

coordinators with the execution of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program.

As part of the training, attendees conducted a site visit to the Rape, Abuse and 

Incest National Network to discuss response measures, share ideas, and 

collaborate on future initiatives. Additionally, the orientation group was provided a 

detailed overview on the Department of Defense Safe Helpline. The Safe Helpline 

provides live, one-on-one advice, support, and information to the worldwide 

Department of Defense community. 

 Healthcare Personnel: The Air Force focuses on ensuring compassionate, quality 

care that is gender-responsive, culturally competent and recovery oriented for 

victims of sexual assault. Comprehensive medical care to victims may begin with 

initial emergency response and involve completion of a sexual assault forensic 

examination and mental health services. At many Air Force installations, local 

community resources may be readily available. When military resources are not 

available, the Air Force collaborates with civilian agencies to establish 

memorandums of understanding. The goal of the Air Force Medical Service is to 

support the victim while ensuring evidence collection credibility by using the most 

highly trained healthcare personnel.

 Chaplain Corps: The Air Force Chaplain Corps plays a significant role in 

supporting all Airmen. They are a spiritual and counseling resource for all Airmen. 

Air Force chaplains are trusted counselors, teachers, and confidants. Chaplains 

educate victims on their privileges and referral resources, to include the services 

offered by a sexual assault response coordinator. All Chaplain Corps teams worldwide are encouraged to coordinate with local organizations to ensure that the 

members have increased awareness of civilian victim response organizations for 

referral purposes. The Chaplain Corps uses local organizations in consultation with 

sexual assault response coordinators to collaborate on victim care and support. 

Victims are referred to institutions such as religious organizations, safe houses, and 

other non-government organizations. Local sexual assault victim resources vary at 

each military installation. 

Additionally, the Chaplain Corps is developing a plan to utilize $230,000 to fund

localized sexual assault prevention and response training. The focus of the 

training will include sexual assault response, victim care, and developing 

collaboration with civilian victim response organizations. Civilian sexual assault 

victim response organizations will develop and conduct the training for the local 

chapel teams. The Headquarters Air Force Chief of Chaplains Office believes this 
84

training will increase Chaplain Corps member’s skill sets and interoperability with 

civilian victim response organizations. 

Finally, the Chaplain Corps has partnered with the Military Family Learning 

Network to leverage their “webinars” to provide training resources to Chaplain 

Corps members on a variety of caregiver subjects. These webinars are developed 

and hosted by local universities. The Chaplain Corps can view regularly scheduled 

webinars or request specific webinars be developed to provide more specific 

training, such as dealing with sexual assault as a caregiver, victim care post 

trauma, and collaborating with local civilian institutions in victim care. The regularly 

scheduled webinars are posted on the Chaplain Corps secure website and there 

are no costs to the Chaplain Corps for development or production of the additional 

webinars.

 Security Forces, Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical: Air Force Security Forces, 

Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical personnel provide a vital first point of contact 

for victims and the sexual assault prevention and response program. As first 

responders, they work jointly with Department of the Air Force and Department of 

Defense civilian police, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians as well as 

non-Department of Defense affiliated civilian counterparts. Collaboration and 

partnership with these agencies is strengthened through mutual-aid agreements, 

joint training and integrated exercises. These first responders also rely on the 

relationships cultivated by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, the Air 

Force lead agency for investigating sexual assault cases, and the installation 

sexual assault response coordinator with civilian response organizations to 

enhance their skills and knowledge in assisting victims. As mandated reporters, 

these first responders collect critical information and notify Air Force Office of 

Special Investigations.

To further law enforcement collaboration and interoperability, in fiscal year 2014, 

Air Force Office of Special Investigations and Air Force Security Forces developed 

the capability to field base-level joint sexual assault investigative teams. In 

addition to their role as first responders and mandated reporters, Security Forces 

Airmen partner with Air Force Office of Special Investigations as members of local 

joint sexual assault investigative teams. In this cooperative initiative, they work 

alongside Air Force Office of Special Investigations and civilian law enforcement 

organizations to investigate sexual assaults, gather evidence, and support base 

level staff judge advocates in prosecuting sexual assault perpetrators. Joint sexual 

assault investigative teams can also work proactively to educate Airmen about 

sexual assault impacts and prevention strategies. 

Finally, it is common for installation level sexual assault response coordinators to 

collaborate with their local rape crisis centers, sexual assault prevention coalitions, 

colleges and universities, victim advocacy organizations, and health organizations.

4.14 Provide an assessment of the implementation of your expedited victim

transfer request policy. Include measures taken to ensure victims are informed in
85

a timely manner of their right to request an expedited transfer, and challenges to

the implementation of the policy. 

This year the Air Force initiated a rapid improvement event for expedited transfers, 

providing an in-depth assessment of the entire process. The event started in June 2014 

and reviewed the timeliness of the process, obstacles for the victim, process 

improvements, and program efficiencies. The group consisted of Air Force sexual assault 

prevention and response staff in policy and operations, a wing vice commander, several 

sexual assault response coordinators, a victim, Air Force Personnel Center staff in

humanitarian and assignments, Headquarters Air Force Pentagon Personnel staff, and 

both guard and reserve headquarters sexual assault response coordinators. The event 

lasted several months and reviewed the initial education of the victim through the final 

step of a permanent change of station from the installation. During this event, the review 

team discovered several process improvements that should be implemented. These

improvements included a standard education and training campaign explaining the entire 

process for sexual assault response coordinators, commanders, and special victims’

counsel to ensure that consistent messaging and information is provided to the victim. 

Data collection and review is also part of the improvements to ensure that target timelines 

for approval requests and victim moves are met. 

The review team identified and submitted a requirement to update the automated 

application system for expedited transfer requests. This change will create a separate 

and easily identifiable expedited transfer designator for victims to select. Currently, the 

Air Force uses the humanitarian process which has caused confusion for victims applying 

for an expedited transfer and as a result, delayed the process. 

The team addressed the timeframes associated with the expedited transfer process and 

modified the weekly major command expedited transfer tracker submitted to the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. The tracker enables the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office to maintain oversight over expedited 

transfer process and track the timelines for approved requests. The team also worked 

with the Air Force Personnel Center to address the medical evaluation board assignment 

waiver. Now, Air Force Personnel Center will process an expedited transfer for a victim 

within 30 days of a medical evaluation board decision to avoid delaying an application 

awaiting this decision which can take several months to complete. 

The rapid improvement event identified a challenge associated with extending expedited 

transfers to sexual assaults involving intimate partners. These cases may involve 

separating children from one parent without their consent or moving dependents without 

the entitled active duty member. These challenging cases have the option to request a 

move under the Humanitarian or Threatened Persons Programs, but involve more 

coordination with additional agencies. This extra coordination extends the processing

time for these moves and is not conducive to an expedited transfer. 

4.14.1 Pertaining to temporary and/or permanent unit/duty expedited transfers

(does NOT involve a permanent change of station), provide:

- The number requested
86

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

- The number requested: 3

- The number denied as the victim requested: 0

- The number approved as the victim requested: 3

- The number approved different than the victim requested: No

- A summary of the reasons for denied requests.

- The number moved within 30 days of approval and the number moved after 

30 days of approval: There is no requirement for conducting expedited 

transfer within 30 days. There are many factors that impact the ability of a 

victim to move expeditiously, most of which are controlled by the member 

themselves. 

4.14.2 Pertaining to permanent requested installation expedited transfers (does

involve a permanent change of station move), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

- The number requested: 122

- The number denied as the victim requested: 8

- The number approved as the victim requested: 114

- The number approved different than the victim requested: Yes

- A summary of the reasons for denied requests: 8

In three cases, it was determined that the health services available at the 

local installation were best suited to care for the victim. In four cases, the 

victim was facing a medical evaluation board with the potential for 

separation. In one case, the victim was also a subject in a separate sexual 

assault case.

- The number moved within 30 days of approval and the number moved after 

30 days of approval: Data not available. There is no requirement for 

conducting expedited transfer within 30 days. There are many factors that 

impact the ability of a victim to move expeditiously, most of which are 

controlled by the member themselves.

4.15 Describe your efforts to implement and enhance first responder training (e.g.

sexual assault healthcare providers).

Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Training: In March 2013, the Air Force began 

an extensive review of all sexual assault prevention and response training, which began 
87

with a major overhaul of the Air Force Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course, 

taught at Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The revised course 

incorporated Department of Defense core competencies and learning objectives. The 

revamped training course expanded from five to eight days and is currently offered to all 

sexual assault response coordinators and full-time sexual assault prevention and 

response victim advocates.

The updated course employs adult learning theory with an emphasis on andragogy, 

independent, self-directed, experiential learning, which shifted the focus of instruction to 

process-based learning, through scenarios, role-plays, and group interaction. The entire 

course includes new learning objectives developed in partnership with the Air University 

Course Director. The new objectives increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of 

sexual assault response coordinators to effectively advocate for victims, serve as a key 

advisor to leadership, and strengthen collaboration. This revised course uses a 

pedagogical approach in modules such as budgeting, self-care, offender dynamics, 

ethics, facilitating dynamic presentations, and effective communication with leaders. 

Breakout sessions are conducted to emphasize the key learning objectives. The course 

incorporates a pre- and post-assessment to evaluate student knowledge and enable 

feedback to faculty for course content. A formal Instructional Systems Design model is 

used to analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate instruction for the course, 

which allows for continued feedback and improvement. In April 2014, representatives 

from the Office of the Secretary of Defense evaluated the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Response Course and their findings indicate it met all Department of Defense core 

competencies. More importantly, the representatives noted numerous elements of the 

course as best practices in training sexual assault response coordinators. Completion of 

the Sexual Assault Response Coordinators Course provides participants with the required 

initial training needed for certification. The nationally recognized and required certification 

allows sexual assault prevention and response personnel to work with victims. 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate Training: Full-time sexual 

assault prevention and response victim advocates attend the Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinators Course at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, with separate blocks designed 

specifically for them. In August 2013, the Air Force established a victim advocate 

curriculum, outlining education and training to provide students with information 

specifically related to their responsibilities as advocates. Installation sexual assault 

response coordinators from across the Air Force and Headquarters Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response personnel facilitate the course. Students learn to process new 

information and apply concepts and skills based upon adult learning theory. The 

curriculum provides opportunities to practice completing forms, conducting initial victim 

meetings, completing Defense Sexual Assault Incidence Database entries, and 

conducting training. 

The training focuses on developing interpersonal communication and facilitation skills. 

The curriculum requires students to create and deliver a presentation for critique by 

course faculty and fellow students. Similar to the sexual assault response coordinator 

course, maximum student participation is key to successful completion of the course. 

Adding a full-time sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate has 
88

strengthened the prevention, response, and advocacy of the Air Force program. Full-time 

sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates help to coordinate a 24/7 victim 

response and maintain a ready list of volunteer victim advocates. They also share the 

responsibility of raising sexual assault awareness across their installation and assure 

volunteer victim advocates screening, training, and assignment to victims who choose 

those services. 

In fiscal year 2014, the Air Force has trained and certified 65 sexual assault response 

coordinators, and 49 victim advocates including those in deployed locations.

Volunteer Victim Advocate Training: Air Force installation sexual assault prevention 

and response offices vigorously pursue recruitment of volunteer victim advocates to 

support the on-going advocacy needs of victims. Volunteer victim advocates must 

complete 40 hours of training. This training is based on the sexual assault response 

coordinator course and includes details about the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program, victimology, offender dynamics, response services, and best 

practices in victim advocacy. 

In October 2014, the Air Force launched a revised volunteer victim advocate course using 

the Instructional Systems Design model. The Department of Defense Sexual Assault 

Advocate Certification Program certifies volunteer victim advocates upon completion of 

the course. An advocate will not work directly with victims until they receive this national 

certification. Once certified they can be assigned, as appropriate, to work with victims, 

train installation personnel or support outreach efforts. In addition, they must earn 32 

continuing education units every two years and are further required to have undergone a 

National Agency background check. 

Training for Healthcare Personnel: Since fiscal year 2010, the Air Force has provided 

annual sexual assault training for healthcare personnel. In July 2013, revisions to the 

Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02 Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program Procedures, prompted modifications to the existing training which included 

heightened emphasis on restricted reports, the role of sexual assault response 

coordinators, and penalties for violation of patient confidentiality and privacy. Since that 

time Air Force Instruction 44-102, Medical Care Management, expanded training to all 

Healthcare Personnel to meet the most current requirements of Department of Defense 

Instruction 6495.02, which defines Healthcare Personnel as “persons assisting or 

otherwise supporting healthcare providers in providing health services” (e.g. 

administrative personnel assigned to a military treatment facility) and healthcare 

providers. Expanding this requirement ensures all healthcare personnel are prepared to 

provide initial assistance to a victim who walks into a Military Treatment Facility.

The Air Force Medical Service partnered with the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response Office and civilian experts to develop an enhanced computer-based 

training, complete with small group discussion for mental health staff (providers, 

technicians, and front desk staff) on the effects of sexual assault, understanding revictimization, sexual assault biases, and providing compassionate care. Training 

dissemination across 75 military medical treatment facilities began on October 1, 2014, 
89

and became an annual training requirement.

Chaplain Corps Training: Air Force Chaplain Corps First Responder Training was first 

launched in 2008 at the Chaplain Service Institute. In 2009, a training presentation was 

circulated and its viewing was tracked for Chaplain Corps compliance. Since 2012, both 

initial and refresher training has been delivered through a computer based training 

module located online. Air Force Chaplain Corps first responder training is accomplished 

on an annual basis in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02, 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Procedures. 

Air Force Security Forces and Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ Training: 

The Air Force has law enforcement personnel assigned to both Air Force Security Forces 

and to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. The Headquarters Air Force Office 

Special Investigations and the Security Forces Center both provide annual training to 

satisfy sexual assault prevention and response training requirements for all Special 

Agents and Security Forces’ members in accordance with Department of Defense 

Directive 6495.02, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program procedures. 

Security Forces and Special Agents alike receive annual and refresher training at the unit 

level. The sexual assault prevention and response training was initially developed in 

2008 and last updated 2013. The training emphasizes the vital role in communication 

between the sexual assault response coordinator and instructs the law enforcement team 

to assure victim awareness and safety.

Sexual Assault Forensic Examination kits or timely access to appropriate

laboratory testing resources and describe the measure you took to remedy the

situation.

There were no known victims whose care was hindered due to lack of Sexual Assault 

Forensic Examination kits or timely access to appropriate laboratory testing resources.

How many sexual assault forensic examination kits were processed and results

used to inform command action:

The Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database tracks the number of victims offered a 

sexual assault forensic examination and the number of victims who elect to complete the 

examination. 415 victims were offered a forensic examination and 141 chose to complete 

the examination in fiscal year 2014. According to the Defense Sexual Assault Incident 

Database, 1,350 adult men and women reported they were victims of a sexual offense 

during this same timeframe. The database does not track either the number of kits

processed by a laboratory or whether the laboratory results were used to inform 

command action. 

Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents log all sexual assault forensic 

examination kits associated with their investigations into the electronic investigative 

information management system as evidence. This system does not provide the 

capability to track the total number of adult sexual assault forensic examination kits 

processed by the laboratory. Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ agents always 

report laboratory results to commanders in the final report of investigation. However, the 

Air Force does not track which evidence is utilized by the commander to inform his or her 

disposition decision.

4.18 Provide information about any problems or challenges that have been

encountered with military treatment facilities during the previous year and

the actions taken to improve the program or services.

Availability of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner: The National Defense Authorization 

Act for fiscal year 2014, Section 1725 mandated Secretaries of the Military Departments

ensure at least one full-time sexual assault nurse examiner at each military treatment 

facility with a 24-hour emergency department. In the event a military treatment facility 

does not have a 24-hour emergency treatment center, a sexual assault nurse examiner 

will “be made available” to a victim. The deadline for compliance with the National 

Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 is December 2014.

Currently, all 75 military treatment facilities have at least one trained sexual assault nurse 
92

examiner serving as a central point of contact and coordination point for sexual assault 

response. These sexual assault nurse examiners are supplemented by sexual assault 

forensic examiners and backed up by a comprehensive network of memorandums of 

understanding and/or memorandums of agreement with civilian medical facilities. By

coordinating with civilian facilities and having these memorandums in place, the victim is 

more likely to have a seamless and quality experience with improved linkage to base 

resources.

Training: Healthcare personnel training was updated based on changes to Department 

of Defense guidance. Implementation of that training reached the majority of healthcare 

personnel, but some facilities were confused by the definition of "healthcare personnel." 

This update requires all personnel working in a military treatment facility to receive the 

training. This change in training requirements will accomplish two goals: 1) simplify the 

identification and tracking process of those trained, and 2) it will insure that all individuals 

in the military treatment facility have the same basic knowledge regarding sexual assault

response in the event they provide the initial response. By the end of fiscal year 2014, 

39,552 of 42,032 healthcare personnel had completed required training.

4.19 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective victim

support, response, and reporting options.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Outreach: In fiscal year 2014, sexual 

assault response coordinators, victim advocates, leaders, and community agencies have 

launched a number of activities to educate Air Force personnel about sexual assault 

prevention and available services. Sexual assault response coordinators, victim 

advocates, and commanders use these outreach and awareness activities as an 

opportunity to build relationships and couple them with sexual assault prevention and 

response training. Outreach venues used for raising awareness include manned 

informational booths, static displays, and on-base health fairs. In fiscal year 2015, wing 

level sexual assault prevention and response programs will partner with other events to 

raise awareness (i.e. Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Armed Forces Day, holiday runs), 

which target junior enlisted and single airman, civilians and dependents. These 

partnerships will increase knowledge and awareness and provide leaders with a deeper 

understanding of the impact of sexual assault on the mission and their critical role in 

establishing a climate which will not tolerate this crime. Some installations establish a

memorandum of understanding with local rape crisis centers (when available in their 

communities) to establish links between the Air Force and local agencies. This allows 

victim advocates to attend local rape crisis center training where they gain the opportunity 

to volunteer and obtain additional experience and further develop skillsets. 

Advanced Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course: At the end of fiscal year 

2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office began the planning 

process for an Advanced Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course. This course will 

be offered in fiscal year 2015 to sexual assault response coordinators who graduated 

from the course prior to the March 2013 course update. The Advanced Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator Course will serve as a refresher course, incorporating recent 

updates and changes to the program. Please see question 4.15 for further information 
93

about the sexual assault response coordinator training course.

Annual Refresher Training: All sexual assault response coordinators and sexual 

assault prevention and response victim advocates will attend annual refresher training in 

2015. This will be the first time that the annual refresher training is provided to sexual 

assault prevention and response victim advocates. The training will be conducted by the 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office and will include updates to new 

policies and procedures. 

Training will be adult learning centered and research based. The training will focus on job

specific information and victim quality care. Attendance at refresher training allows sexual 

assault prevention and response personnel to maintain consistent and effective victim 

support and response. Remaining current in best practices ensures delivery of quality 

services for victims. Currently, one refresher class is planned for fiscal year 2015.

Expedited Transfer Rapid Improvement Event: Based on victim and special victims’

counsel inputs regarding recent experience with the entire expedited transfer process, the 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office hosted an Air Force Smart 

Operations rapid improvement event to streamline the victim transfer process. Particular 

attention was focused on the process and time period leading up to the commander’s 

decision on an expedited transfer request, and the process and time period after the Air 

Force Personnel Center receives an approved expedited transfer request. Additionally, 

challenges associated with expedited transfers were addressed, as discussed in question 

4.14. The team also identified a requirement to develop a standardized out-processing 

checklist that can be executed at the installation level to ensure continuity and 

predictability in planning, while protecting the privacy and confidentiality aspects of the 

assignment request. In addition, the team initiated discussions to consider allowing 

sexual assault victims who make a restricted report the opportunity to request an 

expedited transfer similar to the process currently available to sexual assault victims who 

make an unrestricted report. 

4.20 Compliance with Department of Defense Victim/Witness Assistance Program 

reporting requirements to ensure victims are consulted with and regularly updated 

by SVIP legal personnel.

In accordance with Air Force Instruction 51-201, Administration of Military Justice, 

Sections 7E, Notifications, Forms Processing, and Miscellaneous Information, and 7G, 

Reporting Requirements, The Judge Advocate General shall submit an annual report 

using the Department of Defense Form 2706, Annual Report on Victim and Witness 

Assistance, to the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, Attention 

Legal Policy Office. The report must be submitted by March 15 for the preceding 

calendar year quantifying the assistance provided to victims and witnesses of crime. In 

fiscal year 2013, 11,751 victims and 8,108 witnesses were notified of their right to 

assistance under the Victim Witness Assistance Program.

4.21 Percentage of specially trained prosecutors and other legal support personnel 

having received additional and advanced training in special victim’s investigation 
94

and prosecution capability topical areas.

There are currently 18 Senior Trial Counsel postured around the world to provide expert 

litigation support. Of those 18 senior trial counsel, a team of 9 is part of the special 

victims’ unit senior trial counsel, specializing in the prosecution of particularly complex 

cases such as sexual assault, crimes against children, and homicides. This team has the 

highest level of advanced training specializing in prosecuting sexual assault and other 

complex cases.

4.22 Provide status of developing and implementation of regulation that prohibits 

retaliation against a victim or other member of the Armed Forces who reports a 

criminal offense in accordance with Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense 

Authorization Act. Include measures to ensure Service members receive 

education and training pertaining to reprisal prevention and detections; policies 

and procedures for filing a complaint of retaliation.

The Air Force has three instructions that address retaliation or reprisal complaints that 

result from an Airman reporting a sexual assault: Air Force Instruction 90-301, Inspector 

General Complaints Resolution, Air Force Instruction 36-2909, Professional and 

Unprofessional Relationship, and Air Force Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program. AFI 90-301 identifies specific rights, protections and 

complaint processing when an Airman communicates violations of law, regulation or 

policy. Allegations of sexual assault would typically constitute a protected 

communication. In those instances where the Airman is then subjected to an unfavorable 

personnel action(s), the Inspector General is charged with investigating the allegation(s). 

AFI 90-301 is a mature document that has been in existence for quite some time. It is 

updated on a recurring cycle in accordance with Air Force guidance.

Furthermore, command is responsible for complying with additional guidance as 

contained in Air Force Instruction 36-2009 which codifies the prohibition on retaliation 

stating that, “Military members shall not retaliate against an alleged victim or other military 

member who reports a criminal offense,” and members that violate this prohibition can be 

prosecuted under either Article 92 or Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or 

both. 

Additionally, the rewrite of Air Force Instruction 36-6001 will place a duty on commanders 

to protect sexual assault victims, witnesses, bystanders, responders or other parties to 

the incident from coercion, ostracism, maltreatment, discrimination, reprisal, and 

retaliation. This instruction will further require, any complaints received from a victim 

concerning coercion, retaliation, ostracism, maltreatment, or reprisal will be included on 

the monthly Case Management Review meeting agenda until the concern has been 

resolved. 
95

5. Line of Effort 5—Assessment—The objective of assessment is to

“effectively standardize, measure, analyze, assess, and report

program progress.”

5.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Assessment Endstate:

“Responsive, meaningful, and accurate systems of measurement and

evaluation into every aspect of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Program.”

Overview: Over the past year, the Air Force has made substantial changes in its efforts 

to standardize assessment methodologies and to effectively measure, analyze, assess, 

and report the progress of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. 

Assessment is an enduring process of data collection and analytics designed to improve 

program effectiveness and is embedded within each of the other lines of effort. This effort 

includes surveys and verbal feedback from commanders, victims, victim advocates, and 

Airmen across all echelons within the Air Force. The Air Force incorporates a responsive, 

meaningful, and accurate measurement and evaluation system to determine impact on 

eliminating sexual assault. The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office serves 

as the single point of authority, accountability, and oversight for Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program policy. As the program lead, this office uses a variety 

of tools such as the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database, focus groups and other 

survey instruments to assess the efforts to eliminate sexual assault.

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office remains steadfast in its 

efforts to provide senior leaders and commanders with effective tools to help manage 

their climates and personnel. The following initiatives assist the Air Force in managing 

climates and establishing the assessment endstate: commander’s kneeboards, surveys, 

focus groups, inspection checklists, and training assessments.

Commander Kneeboards: The intent of kneeboards is to provide commanders critical 

information about sexual assault incidents in a snapshot view. Kneeboards provide 

metrics on various factors that include (but are not limited to): the total number of reports, 

type of report made (restricted or unrestricted), gender, status of victim and subject, type 

of offense being investigated, use of alcohol, and length of time until report was made. 

These factors help leaders identify and evaluate areas of concern to aid in local policy 

changes, awareness and/or prevention and response adjustments that may be necessary 

to support their efforts in maintaining dignity and respect of all Airmen within their units.

Surveys: Surveys are one of the most effective tools used to provide leaders specific 

statistical information to tell a story about the health and welfare of a large population or 

environment. The Air Force uses several surveys to provide commanders and leaders 

with relevant and necessary information. The following surveys were fielded to expand 

the understanding of sexual assault prevention and response related issues. 

 Prevalence Survey: The Department of Defense conducts Workplace and Gender 

Relations Surveys every other year on Active Duty, Reserve and Guard personnel 

to provide sexual assault prevalence estimates on the level of “unwanted sexual 

contact” occurring within these populations for Department of Defense leadership. 
96

The activity of “unwanted sexual contact” that was measured, approximated, but 

did not equate to the criminal elements of the sexual assault spectrum as defined 

by law. As a result, in fiscal year 2014, the Department of Defense contracted 

RAND Corporation to conduct an updated Military Workplace Study to sample 

Active Duty, Reserve and Guard personnel. The survey instrument differs from 

previous Workplace and Gender Relations Surveys in the respect that previous 

models were built on the “public health” premise of crime, while this year’s survey 

instrument was modeled after the “crime victimization” model as used by the 

Department of Justice. The questions used in the RAND Military Workplace Study 

provide more detail on the type of crime occurring within the services. This survey 

platform will be used every other year to measure the prevalence within the 

services as it relates to sexual assault reports.

 Defense Equal Opportunity Management Organizational Climate Survey: This 

survey identifies the climate of organizations related to several different aspects. 

Beginning in January 2014, six questions pertaining to four dimensions of the 

sexual assault prevention and response climate factors were included in this 

survey to provide additional insight into the various aspects of culture and climate. 

The climate factors included confidence in the chain of command, willingness to 

intervene, and work environment safety. Prior to the inclusion of the sexual assault 

questions, the climate survey focused on potential equal opportunity and 

harassment issues. Inclusion of the sexual assault questions support the notion 

that a work environment and/or a commander that permits sexual harassment 

creates an environment tolerant of sexual assault. This survey is fielded to unit 

members within 120 days of a commander assuming command of a new unit and 

then annually thereafter. In fiscal year 2014, the Air Force established a policy that 

requires results of the climate survey to be briefed up the chain to the 

commander’s leadership as well as to the members of the unit. This provides 

leadership and Airmen at every level to be engaged in ensuring issues and/or 

areas for improvement are addressed during their commander’s tenure. In 

addition, it ensures that commanders are held accountable for maintaining good 

order and discipline within their unit. 

The following charts provide the results from the 2014 Defense Equal Opportunity 

Management Organizational Climate Survey on sexual assault prevention and 

response factors. The factors provide the overall Airmen’s perspective on how

commanders are positively or negatively impacting the unit culture and climate.
97

Chart 5.1: Commander’s Climate; Sexual Assault at Home

Based upon responses to this question posed on the Defense Equal Opportunity 

Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey, the vast majority of Airmen 

(98%) indicate that they feel safe from sexual assault at home. The Air Force has 

established support systems for the small subset of the force (approximately 2%) 

that feels they are either “unsafe” or “very unsafe” at home or those who may be 

the target of any type of domestic violence (to include sexual assault). The Air 

Force remains committed to ensuring that every Airman feels safe and/or knows 

where to receive support if necessary.

 

Chart 5.2: Commander’s Climate; Sexual Assault at Work

According to responses on the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute 

Organizational Climate Survey, approximately 99% of Airmen are confident that 

they are safe from any type of sexual assault in their professional work 

environment. Reportedly, approximately 84% feel they are “very safe,” while an 

average of 15% feel “safe” from being sexually assaulted while at work. While no 

Airmen have reported they feel “unsafe” from experiencing sexual assault in the 

work place, approximately 1% (or less) of Airmen have reported that they feel “very

Chart 5.3: Responses to Command Climate

The results of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational 

Climate Survey presented in Chart 5.3 indicate that the majority of Airmen believe 

their chain of command promotes a climate consistent with “respect and trust.” 

Over half (53%) of Airmen feel this is accomplished to a “great extent,” while 32% 

believe it is accomplished at a “moderate extent.” From these results, it can be 

concluded that approximately 85% of the Airmen population believe “respect and 

trust” are prominent factors in their command climate. 11% of Airmen population 

believe their command promotes a climate of “respect and trust” to a “slight extent”. 

Chart 5.4: Chain of Command Refrains from Sexist Comments & Behaviors

The above chart reflects that, based upon responses to the Defense Equal 

Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey, approximately 

95% of the Airmen believe that their chain of command refrains from sexist 

comments and behaviors. Another 5% of Airmen believe their chain of command 

to a “slight extent” or “not at all” refrain from sexist comments and behaviors. 

Focus group findings have revealed that small pockets of “crude cultures” still do 

exist. The Air Force is tailoring future communications and training to deliver

This chart of Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Organizational 

Climate Survey response rates indicates that while a majority of Airmen are 

confident that their leaders will actively discourage sexist comments and behaviors, 

the numbers are slightly weaker than those provided in Chart 5.3. 93% believe 

that the chain of command either to a “great” or “moderate” extent will actively 

discourage such comments and behaviors. An overall 7% of the Airmen 

population believes that their chain of command will either “slightly” or “not at all” 

actively discourage sexist comments and behaviors.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Inspection Checklist: In fiscal 

year 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office developed a 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program inspection checklist for incorporation 

into the newly created Air Force Inspection System. The inspection checklist provides 

commanders a comprehensive assessment tool to measure installation compliance with 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program policies and procedures. 

Focus Groups: Prior to the re-organization of the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office, focus groups were not a primary tool for assessment purposes, due to 

manpower challenges and limited technical expertise. The headquarters sexual assault 

prevention and response staff was composed of four personnel, 1 civilian and 3 military 

members, to support the entire Air Force. Since the re-organization, the headquarters 

staff has grown exponentially from 4 to 34 personnel ranging in array of different skills and 

expertise to better evaluate and assess sexual assault crime in a more holistic approach. 

Following the re-organization in fiscal year 2013, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response Office recognized the need and importance of gaining an understanding 

through the “eyes of Airmen” in order to shape policy and procedures that would have a 

viable impact to eradicating this crime from the military. As a result, a team of Air Force

subject-matter experts conducted focus groups to obtain a better sense of how Airmen felt 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Programs were impacting the community 

around them. In fiscal year 2014, the focus group process was improved by developing a 

standard set of questions with assessment criteria. Facilitators used five questions to 

target focus group discussion among participants and gather data.

 Do you feel commanders/leaders pressure (or create an environment that 

pressures) victims to file unrestricted reports? Are you getting the message from 

Commanders/leaders that victims who file restricted reports are weak/cowardly?

 At this time, who can take a restricted report? What are your thoughts on 

expanding who can take a restricted report? What are the pros and cons of 

allowing individuals in one’s chain of command to take restricted reports?

 What are your perceptions of sexual assault and sexual harassment? Do you 

think there is fear of retaliation? Do you think there is a fear of retaliation if you 

were to seek mental health due to sexual assault?

 What are your perceptions of culture change in the Air Force? Have you seen 

any change in your unit? In the Air Force as a whole? What are your perceptions 

of Air Force prevention training? Do you think it’s working?

 Do you have any recommendations for the Headquarters Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office? For the Air Force? Is there anything else you 

would like to discuss?
101

During the past fiscal year, the Air Force visited a total of 10 installations and spoke to 

more than 1,000 Airmen about their views and experiences as they relate to sexual 

assault prevention and response at their locations. The findings of these sessions 

revealed 2 main strengths:

1) Generally, climate and culture are perceived to be changing in a positive direction.

2) Bystander intervention training from the past and this year’s annual training was 

very well received. Small group discussions and facilitation help promote more 

engagement and a better understanding of this complex and sensitive issue.

In addition to the strengths identified, there are 3 areas of concern that the Air Force is 

continuing to monitor and evaluate:

1) Training: While most Airmen believe training is making a difference, they are 

becoming overwhelmed with the training requirements and deadlines, thus, starting 

to experience training fatigue. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office continues to focus on a variety of current, realistic, relatable and 

balanced training options to alleviate “oversaturation.” The goal is for every 

Airman to migrate from the concept or idea of a Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response “Stand Down Day” into the mindset that Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response is “every day.” Training is currently being refined to provide leaders and 

supervisors with “modules” that can be used within their everyday mission to train 

and talk with Airmen in order to build and maintain a culture of dignity and respect. 

By doing this, Airmen will understand their role and responsibility in what it means 

to uphold the integrity of the Air Force’s Core Values by being a responsible, 

supportive, and committed wingman.

2) Reporting: For the most part, Airmen are satisfied with their reporting options; 

however, the focus groups did reveal mixed reviews among Airmen on expanding 

restricted reporting to someone in the chain of command. Junior Airmen and 

officers seem to be more in favor of expanding restricted reporting to someone in 

the chain of command because it is someone they know and trust already. Seniorlevel Airmen and officers believe this option is “too risky” for the Air Force because 

it inhibits their ability to lead and could jeopardize their authority and position to 

maintain good order and discipline. The pros and cons of expanding restricted 

reporting are under review for potential policy changes that might have a positive 

impact on reporting. Bottom line, while Airmen are satisfied with their reporting 

options, there are still stigmas and/or fears associated with reporting. The most 

prevalent highlighted by the focus groups was the fear of peer isolation and/or 

retaliation.

3) Air Force Climate and Culture: Most Airmen expressed that they believe the Air 

Force climate and culture has changed in a positive manner. During the focus 

groups, it was highlighted that there are still a few pockets of resistance that are 

difficult to break through. These “pockets” create environments where there is no 
102

perceived balance and people seem to be either “too sensitive” or “not sensitive 

enough.” As a result, some Airmen believe they are experiencing “hypersensitive” 

and/or “desensitized” environments which make it hard to address concerns or 

issues as it relates to sexual assault. The thought is that Airmen believe they have 

to “go along to get along” to prevent creating any situation that may “label” them as 

“black sheep.” 

Focus groups will continue to be a part of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office efforts to evaluate processes, procedures and policies. Overall, the 

focus group campaigns have proven to be a successful and effective assessment tool and 

Airmen express appreciation for the opportunity to provide invaluable feedback. 

Training Assessments: Starting with the April 2014 Pre-Command Course, the Air

Force implemented the pre- and post- course assessment process. The pre- course 

assessments are completed by participants the day prior to the sexual assault prevention 

and response training and inform facilitators on portions of the curriculum to emphasize. 

The post- course assessments completed in 2014 indicate the intended training and 

messages were well articulated and show increases in retained knowledge.

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program administered an online 

pre- and post- training test for its stand down training. 25,446 members took the preassessment and 10,732 took the post-assessment. This was the first attempt across the 

force to assess advocacy information delivered during sexual assault prevention and 

response stand down events. Unfortunately, this assessment was not scientifically 

developed and lacked checks for reliability and validity. 

Most of the questions tested specific factual knowledge related to the focus of the training,

offenders and perpetrator behavior. The knowledge element showed the most significant 

increase in comprehension was the fact that most offenders premeditate their crime; 

before the test only 78.31% of respondents answered correctly while after the down day 

91.59% of respondents answered this fact correctly. Another area of increased 

knowledge where test scores rose from 83.62% to 92.72% was the fact that most 

offenders will victimize again. An opinion question asked about the effectiveness of 

sexual assault prevention and response training. Before the stand down day, 49.99% of 

respondents stated that sexual assault training was either effective or highly effective. 

After the stand down day, 65.34% indicated that the training was effective or highly 

effective. The aforementioned changes in training are now creating “buy-in” from the field 

and clearly demonstrate a positive trend that the Air Force is creating an understanding 

among Airmen about victim advocacy and the need to embrace a future free of sexual 

assault. 

Providing assessment tools to determine if Air Force training programs deliver the course 

content effectively is critical to program development. In January 2014, assessments

were improved in each course update to monitor the training program progress as part of

an ongoing training review. The Air Force is expanding the use of these pre- and postassessments to other sexual assault prevention and response training courses, such as 

the Squadron Commander Course.
103

The Air Force has committed to effectively analyzing and assessing our Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program’s processes and procedures to ensure leaders are 

provided with tools that create an environment that cultivates a culture of dignity and 

respect. Since the conception of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, 

the Air Force has grown significantly in understanding the complexity of this issue. 

Recent assessment initiatives have helped commanders and senior leaders better 

understand the continuum of harm and how behaviors and/or actions can escalate into 

events of harassment and assault. The Air Force has generally taken a “responsecentric” approach to understanding and solving this issue; however, within recent years, 

the focus has shifted to improve our understanding of prevention related approaches that 

eliminate predator and predatory behaviors. Specifically, over the past year, the Air Force 

has placed more emphasis on understanding and educating all Airmen on the 

characteristics and dynamics of predators in an effort to help Airmen at every level 

become active bystanders, while helping leaders establish boundaries and standards by 

which Airmen can be held accountable. 

5.2 Describe your oversight activities that assess the Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response Program effectiveness. Include frequency, methods used,

findings and recommendations, corrective action taken (e.g., program

management review and Inspector General inspections), and other activities.

Air Force Audit of Sexual Assault Response Coordinators: During the period of 

August 2013 through 30 September 2013, the Air Force Audit Agency completed an audit 

for the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response community and provided a 

summary of findings and recommendations in an April 2014 report. The total number of 

sexual assault prevention and response personnel records reviewed in this audit were 

306 sexual assault response coordinators/alternates; 2,132 victim advocates and 2,056 

recruiters.

The primary objective of the audit was to determine whether Air Force sexual assault 

prevention and response personnel met qualification and training requirements. The audit

assessed compliance in four ways.

 Background Investigations and Security Clearances

 Training

 Statements of Understanding

 Personnel progress towards Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate 

Certification

The report findings indicated that the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Program was not in full compliance with personnel requirements. To perform the audit, 

the Air Force Audit Agency performed a review of training documentation, commander 

statements of understanding, victim advocate statements of understanding, volunteer 

victim advocate application and background investigation documentation. However, the 

methodology used to evaluate these four areas was flawed, because at the time of the 

audit, both a background check and security clearance were not mandated in policy for 
104

sexual assault response personnel. The Air Force Audit Agency conducts this audit on an 

annual basis and the next scheduled report should be released in spring 2015.

What Caused the Discrepancies: The review requested was overly broad; the Air 

Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program only has 121 active sexual 

assault response coordinator billets and 91 sexual assault prevention and response victim 

advocate billets. Although the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate

Certification Program shows the Air Force carrying more “certified” sexual assault 

response coordinators, those personnel are not in assigned billets and are not supporting 

victims. Some are personnel that were in sexual assault response coordinator billets that 

have moved on to other assignments, but may be available to support deployed locations 

if needed.

The review also represented a snapshot in time; certification of sexual assault response 

coordinators and victim advocates are contingent on a complete package being submitted 

and during the audit many of the submissions noted were in various stages of completion. 

In some cases, the absence of a current statement of understanding may be due to the 

permanent change of station or permanent change of assignment of a sexual assault 

response coordinator, sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate, or 

volunteer victim advocate from one unit to another. 

Due to fiscal constraints and furloughs, some refresher training scheduled to be 

completed by October 1, 2013 did not occur until January 2014. 

Finally, there was no guidance directing these items to be audited and at the time of the 

review there was no formal guidance requiring sexual assault response coordinators to 

secure a security clearance and/or a background check. Furthermore, it’s imperative to 

note, the certification board (contracted by Department of Defense) that certifies sexual 

assault response coordinators and victim advocates only convenes four times a year, so 

many of the packages were in various stages of completion.

What Has Been Done to Correct Discrepancies: The Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office tracks sexual assault response coordinator and sexual 

assault prevention and response victim advocate manning on a monthly basis. Each 

month the major command sexual assault response coordinators are required to provide 

an update on the identities and credentials of the sexual assault response coordinator and 

sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate personnel manning the billets 

assigned at the installation level. Volunteer victim advocate credentials are also tracked 

on a monthly basis at the installation level. 

 Credentialing: Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification 

Program credentialing was completed on time by the October 1, 2013 deadline. 

The Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course is synchronized to coincide with 

boards that convene to review the certification packages to minimize time between 

training and certification.

 Security Clearances and Background Investigations: As indicated previously, there 
105

is no formal guidance directing security clearances for sexual assault response 

coordinators. Since the audit, the Air Force sexual assault prevention and 

response community has determined that both security clearances and 

background checks will be required for sexual assault response coordinators. 

Additionally, once Department of Defense policy is released, sexual assault 

prevention and response victim advocates will also require both a security 

clearance (per update of the position description) and a current Access National 

Agency Check with Inquiries or a National Agency Check with Local Agency Check 

and Credit as a condition of employment. Furthermore, the National Agency 

Background Check will be re-accomplished every five years. While security 

clearances are not required for volunteer victim advocates, they are required to 

submit to a background check. Many volunteer victim advocates, however, do 

have security clearances as a large number of them are military and it is required 

for their primary jobs. 

The last page of the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification 

Program application also requires the commander/ supervisor to verify with law 

enforcement officials that this person is not currently under investigation, that 

requisite background checks have been, and that they do not have a conviction for 

a sexual offense or a requirement to register as a sex offender. 

 Air Force Implemented Initial and Refresher Training: Training addresses 

documentation and continuing education units for Department of Defense Sexual 

Assault Advocate Certification Program. Department of Defense Sexual Assault 

Advocate Certification Program applications require completion of initial training 

before submission. Annual training is conducted throughout the year in 

conjunction with the minimum 32 continuing education units’ hours. This is 

required every two years for Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate 

Certification Program re-certification. This year, Air Force sexual assault 

prevention and response personnel are on target for completion of refresher 

training. The refresher requirement uses the calendar year for tracking purposes 

so in some cases the sexual assault response coordinator/sexual assault 

prevention and response victim advocates/volunteer victim advocates will schedule 

the training for later in the year. Even though only 2 sexual assault response 

coordinators and 145 sexual assault prevention and response victim 

advocates/volunteer victim advocates were not able to complete the annual 

refresher training, this requirement does not put them in an inactive status. 

 Statement of Understanding: Department of Defense 2909, Victim Advocate and 

Supervisor Statement of Understanding, requires a signature by the most current 

commander/supervisor who provides permission for the alternate sexual assault 

response coordinator and volunteer victim advocate to perform the duty. Major 

command sexual assault response coordinators work with their respective wing 

sexual assault response coordinators to correct discrepancies. All sexual assault 

response coordinators and active victim advocates have a current statement of 

understanding on file.

Table 5.1 – Updated Deficiencies September 2014

What Remains to be Done: Table 5.1 displays the audit after cleanup of many of the 

deficiencies noted earlier in this section. After cleanup, only one in 10 of the total sexual 

assault prevention and response positions are deficient, due to refresher training and 

security clearances. To facilitate further resolution, the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office SharePoint created an online sharing community for all 

major command sexual assault response coordinators, installation sexual assault 

response coordinators, and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates to 

update rosters used to monitor training, certification and other personnel requirements on 

a monthly basis. These rosters range from current sexual assault response coordinators 

and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocate contact information to 

numbers of active volunteer victim advocates. This ensures that Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office monitors and has broad awareness of program activities. 

Management Internal Control Toolset: In fiscal year 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office developed a Management Internal Control Toolset 

checklist to assess Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program compliance within 

the Air Force Inspection System. The sexual assault prevention and response selfassessment checklist is used at the installation and major command level in support of

the commander’s inspection program. The commander’s inspection program is designed 

around continuous compliance aimed at improving readiness, effectiveness, and reducing 

risk of undetected non –compliance. The inspection checklist provides commanders a 

comprehensive assessment tool to measure installation compliance with Air Force Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Program policies and procedures.

To meet the continuous compliance requirement set forth in Air Force Instruction 90-201, 

The Air Force Inspection System, the sexual assault prevention and response checklist is 

available 24/7 within the management internal control toolset. Headquarters level policy 

makers influence change in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program by 
107

reviewing discrepancies and resolution plans uploaded into the checklist. Finally, Air 

Force Installations normally receive a base level inspection every two years to include 

compliance with the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program directives.

5.3 Describe your efforts to ensure integrity of data collected in the Defense

Sexual Assault Incident Database.

Sexual assault response coordinators are required to enter all adult sexual assault cases 

(other than those cases tracked by Family Advocacy Program) into the Defense Sexual 

Assault Incident Database within 48 hours of a report in non-deployed locations and 96 

hours in deployed settings. Only those sexual assault response coordinators who are 

nationally credentialed, with a cleared background check, and have completed an online 

Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database training are authorized access to the system. 

The Air Force has also taken additional steps to ensure the quality of the data entered 

into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database. The Department of Defense Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office conducted a 2 hour block of training with all of 

the Air Force sexual assault response coordinators at the Air Force Leadership Summit in 

December 2012. The concentration of the briefing was on collecting and ensuring data

completeness. The Air Force Sexual Assault and Prevention Office also conducted a 

second 2 hour block of Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database training during Air 

Force Annual Training held in August 2012. 

The Air Force Sexual Assault and Prevention Office made the Defense Sexual Assault

Incident Database a permanent agenda item during its monthly major command 

teleconference meeting. This 60-90 minute meeting allows the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office to conduct training, relay information, and ensure the Air 

Force sexual assault prevention and response community is informed. 

The Air Force solicited a new position from the Air Force Reserve in May 2014 and 

contracted for two new Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database customer service 

representatives in August 2014 to create a help desk to assist with data collection and 

data integrity. Our reservist and contractors completed the Navy New Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator Training and the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database 

Training online courses to gain access to the system. This team is responsible for 

providing matrices on the status of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program 

and conducting advanced queries to identify areas that require data cleansing. They also 

work to verify the data integrity and ensure the investigative information in the Defense 

Sexual Assault Incident Database matches the data available in the Investigative 

Information Management System. The database manager suggests improvements to the 

system at a monthly Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database Change Control Board 

meeting.

Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database Integrity Scrubs: In an effort to capitalize 

on collaborative synergy, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 

has identified the need to initiate quarterly data scrubs with the major command program 

managers in coordination with their installation sexual assault response coordinators. At 
108

the close of each quarter, a quarterly report is published for each program manager to 

reconcile any discrepancies. This quarterly data scrub aids in data integrity and ensures 

input into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database stays current and accurate. This 

new process provides senior leadership and commanders with a true “sight picture” of 

sexual assault incidents within their command and Air Force.

Tri-letter Agreement: One of the historical assessment challenges was the lack of 

consistent communication between the various organizations involved in sexual assault 

prevention and response. The available information was inconsistent and disjointed, 

making assessment difficult. In July 2014, The Judge Advocate General of the Air Force, 

the Commander of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, and the Director of the 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office co-signed a memo to the field 

encouraging collaboration and information sharing between their respective offices at the 

installation level. This initiative helps to ensure accurate accounting of sexual assault 

cases, which will increase the fidelity and amount of information on sexual assaults 

occurring in the Air Force. Based on this memorandum, the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office now provides a listing of unrestricted reports that are 

missing relevant information relative to subject, investigation, and disposition to the 

installation sexual assault response coordinators. The sexual assault response 

coordinators are then asked to coordinate with the installation Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations and Judge Advocate Offices to obtain the missing information.

5.4 Provide a summary of your research and data collection activities conducted

in fiscal year 2014.

Research is a pivotal facet in the sexual assault prevention and response operational 

framework. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office has 

revamped its focus in fiscal year 2014 to gather additional data to support a broader 

range of concerns as it relates to sexual assault. These concerns include (but are 

not limited to): reporting stigmas, training deficiencies, offender dynamics and 

characteristics, command support, peer isolation and culture and climate. Several 

research initiatives are planned in fiscal years 2014 through 2015. 

 Focus Groups: The Air Force conducted focus groups during fiscal years 

2013 and 2014 to gain feedback on the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program. Over the two-year period, twenty-two installations 

(including overseas locations) were visited to assess attitudes and 

experiences regarding sexual assault in the Air Force. The focus group teams 

met with more than 2,000 Airmen from a broad range of demographics, to 

include survivors. Focus group members included Active Duty, Reserve 

Component, and civilian Airmen. Sessions were held in gender specific 

groups (male and female) among junior Airmen, non-commissioned officers 

and company grade officers. Mix gender sessions were held for all senior 

non-commissioned officer and field grade officer ranks. The process used to 

select participants was a combination of volunteers or random selection. 

Survivors had the option to meet in a group, or individually with a focus group 

facilitator. Meeting with Airmen face-to-face demonstrated the Air Force’s 
109

high-level of focus and commitment to eliminating the crime of sexual assault. 

These small group discussions provided a forum to capture attitudes and 

beliefs surrounding the crime of sexual assault as well as helping to inform 

Airmen on specific initiatives that strengthen personal resilience and 

encourage victims’ to report. In addition, the small group discussions and 

facilitation proved to promote more engagement and better understanding on 

this complex topic and the effectiveness of policies and programs in place.

Defense Equal Opportunity Climate Survey: Reference question 5.1 for a full 

description and further information and results of this survey.

Science Advisory Board: The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Office partnered with the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board to study sexual assault in the 

Air Force. The Air Force Scientific Advisory Board conducts studies assigned by the 

Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force providing independent 

technical advice to Air Force leadership. In January 2014, the Air Force Scientific 

Advisory Board launched the Combatting Sexual Assault Study. The nine scientists from 

the Combatting Sexual Assault Study team evaluated the problem of sexual assault within 

the Air Force from four perspectives: prevention, detection, reporting, and treatment. The 

Combatting Sexual Assault Study team made 27 recommendations to the Secretary of 

the Air Force, and these recommendations will be reviewed for action once the final report 

is completed and released by the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board. 

5.5 Describe your efforts to explore the feasibility of a sexual assault response 

coordinator military occupational specialty or restructuring of military table of 

organization; addition of skill identifiers.

The Air Force explored the feasibility of creating a sexual assault response coordinator Air 

Force specialty code and settled on a special experience identifier code assignable to any 

career field. Since the inception of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Program, the Air Force used a combination of full-time military officers and full-time 

civilian employees as sexual assault response coordinators. Military sexual assault 

response coordinators responsibilities are part of the 38P (Force Support) core 

competencies.

Both Active Duty military and civilian sexual assault response coordinators receive a 

training code of ―QBX upon completion of formal training. Additionally, special 

experience identifiers are assigned to all trained military sexual assault response 

coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates. Military 

sexual assault response coordinators have their personnel record updated to reflect 

proper special experience identifier code of Y0Y. Following successful completion of 

training, military sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates have their 

personnel record updated to reflect the proper special experience identifiers, 0V for 

officers or 003 for enlisted. Due to the by-law requirement for sexual assault response 

coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response victim advocates to be trained 

and credentialed prior to providing advocacy services, special experience identifiers for 

military members provide tracking after training is completed and credentials are received.
110

5.6 Describe your efforts to assess the feasibility of incorporating sexual assault

prevention training in Family Readiness, Family Advocacy Program, and

Substance Abuse Programs to enhance the Family Advocacy Program and

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response collaboration and training.

The feasibility of incorporating sexual assault prevention training was assessed in three 

meetings held with Air Force Family Readiness, Air Force Family Advocacy Program, and

Air Force Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Program leaders. Current training 

requirements from these programs vary in degree and scope, but none currently 

incorporate bystander intervention training or sexual assault prevention and response 

specific messaging. 

5.7 Describe your plans for fiscal year 2015 that pertain to synchronizing and

standardizing the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program across the 

Joint Force (from Joint/Service basing to forward stationed and deployed units 

worldwide).

To further synchronize and alleviate confusion at joint bases, the Air Force is drafting 

policy language into the draft Air Force Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response Program. A chapter in the instruction will be dedicated to joint basing to 

ensure that our Airmen receive training, appropriate sexual assault prevention and 

response coverage and reporting requirements. Additionally, the instruction will provide 

guidance on how the joint base programs interface with our sister service programs in 

executing their responsibilities. The Air Force expects to publish the new Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program Instruction in summer 2015.

5.8 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to

improve interoperability.

United States Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Program: In 2014, 

the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office teamed up with the United 

States Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Program regarding a 

collaborative effort to identify and develop an empirically-based intervention program 

designed to reduce re-victimization of sexual assault victims. The request for applicants 

interested in conducting this research is ongoing and should be complete in 2015. This is 

a continuous effort to stay abreast of research trends and ensures the Air Force remains

engaged with current prevention strategies. Air Force senior leaders encouraged 

subordinate commanders to reach out to non-military experts in the sexual assault arena

in order to obtain fresh perspectives and a deeper understanding of this issue. 

Air Force Awareness and Prevention Assessment Survey: This assessment tool was 

designed to randomly survey 100,000 Airmen on victim care, programs, tools, policies, 

education, and training throughout the Air Force. The Air Force Awareness and 

Prevention Assessment Survey was cancelled due to the Workplace Gender Relations 

Survey – Active Duty being given to Airmen during fiscal year 2014. 

5.9 Describe your future plans for effectively standardizing, measuring, analyzing,
111

assessing, and reporting program progress.

The Air Force is working hard to standardize assessment methodologies and to effectively 

measure, analyze, assess, and report the progress of the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program. The future of Air Force assessments will include research efforts on 

understanding and defining useful prevention tactics, identifying high risk population 

areas, identifying the types of assaults that are more prevalent as well as identifying 

common characteristics of perpetrators. The Air Force believes that understanding these 

facets of sexual assault will aid in creating a more robust and effective program to combat 

this crime.

Leadership Kneeboard: Following the standup of the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office, kneeboard presentations of the information from the 

various data sources were created to inform leadership decisions. These kneeboards 

provide leaders a snapshot of sexual assault prevention and response metrics and trends 

which include information such as the number of reports, alcohol involvement, victim and 

subject demographics and the type of offense being investigated. This information helps 

commanders maintain and/or manage a culture of dignity and respect by helping them 

make informed decisions regarding local guidance and/or policies. Furthermore, this 

kneeboard provides the Director with near real-time statistics and talking points when 

interacting with Air Force and Department of Defense senior leaders. We will continue to 

improve this tool to make it available and useful for a wider set of Air Force leadership.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Inspection Checklist: In fiscal 

year 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office developed a 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program inspection checklist for incorporation 

into the newly created Air Force Inspection System. The inspection checklist provides 

commanders a comprehensive assessment tool to measure installation compliance with 

Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program policies and procedures. 

With incorporation in fiscal year 2015, Headquarters Air Force is planning to execute base 

level inspections starting in fiscal year 2016 to provide installations and/or Major 

Command program managers an opportunity to conduct their own self-inspection. 

Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database Integrity Scrubs: On October 1, 2013, the 

Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database became the centralized database for all 

sexual assaults within the Department of Defense with the exception of Family Advocacy 

Program cases. It is vital the information in the database maintains a high level of 

accuracy. Therefore, sexual assault response coordinators are required to input victim 

data while the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ inputs the subject information. In 

July 2014, The Judge Advocate General of the Air Force, the Commander of the Office of 

Special Investigations, and the Director of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office co-signed a memorandum encouraging the collaboration and sharing of

information between their offices in the field to maintain accurate data.

In an effort to continue to capitalize on this collaborative synergy, the Air Force Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office has identified the need to initiate monthly 

reviews in addition to quarterly data scrubs with the major command program managers. 
112

As a continuing monitoring process, we plan to distribute monthly reports to each program 

manager to reconcile any discrepancies. This monthly data scrub will aid in ensuring the 

information input into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database stays current and 

accurate, and in turn, provide senior leadership and commanders with a true “sight 

picture” of sexual assault incidents within their command and Air Force.

5.10 Victim feedback received on the effectiveness of SVIP prosecution and legal 

support services and recommendations for possible improvements; participation 

by victims will be voluntary and provide for confidentiality, feedback mechanisms 

will be coordinated and standardized within each Military Service so victims do not 

have to unnecessarily complete multiple questionnaires, and these mechanisms

will be used to gain a greater understanding of the reasons a victim elected or 

declined to participate at trial and whether SVIP prosecution and legal support 

services had any positive impact on this decision.

The Air Force Victim Impact Survey is provided to all victims who make a sexual assault 

allegation, regardless of whether an Article 120, 125, or 80, Uniform Code of Military 

Justice, offense is charged. Participation in the survey is voluntary. The survey is 

provided to the victim when the victim’s involvement in the investigation and/or 

prosecution is winding down meaning: victim declines to participate in the investigation 

and/or prosecution; commander makes decision to take no action, administrative action, 

or non-judicial punishment; commander dismisses charges following an Article 32 

hearing; or court-martial results in conviction or acquittal. The victim may fill out the form 

anonymously or they can provide their name and contact information. The information 

provided is encrypted so that it is secure and the victim’s internet protocol address is not 

stored in the survey results. The survey gives the victim the opportunity to make 

comments regarding their experience, which often includes why they elected or declined 

to participate at trial and whether special victim’s investigation and prosecution capability 

and legal support services had a positive impact on this decision. Victims are asked 

specific questions regarding their satisfaction with investigators, trial counsel, defense 

counsel, judge, sexual assault response coordinator, victim advocate, Victim and Witness 

Assistance Program, and special victims’ counsel. In fiscal year 2014, 111 victims 

completed the Air Force Victim Impact Survey. The results of the survey are summarized

6. Overarching Tenet: Communication and Policy

6.1 Describe your efforts to post and widely disseminate sexual assault

information (e.g., Safe Helpline, hotline phone numbers and internet websites) to

Service members, eligible dependents, and civilian personnel of the Department 

of Defense.

In fiscal year 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office through 

collaboration with Air Force Public Affairs, took the lead on many communications fronts 

to include national media engagements, social media, and internal information. 

The Air Force Public Affairs team developed its external media campaign to promote new

initiatives laid out by the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. Air 

Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office subject matter experts conducted 

interviews with the Air Force Times, Air Force Public Affairs Agency, Air Force Magazine, 

Stars and Stripes, Christian Science Monitor, and the office’s internal public affairs teams. 

Those articles were posted on the Air Force website and in each of the articles there was 

a “for more information” contact line so readers had a place to find additional information. 

Additionally, stories were published in the Air Force Times and on the Air Force’s website 

outlining Air Force efforts on tackling this complex and sensitive issue for the Service. 

The Christian Science Monitor published a lengthy story on our efforts to understand the 

perpetrator and how eliminating the perpetrator is the first goal in stopping sexual assault. 

There have been smaller, subsequent stories that continue to highlight the great success 

of that program.

In November 2013, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 

directed each installation via Public Affairs Guidance to establish and maintain an 

installation public website displaying and promoting sexual assault prevention and 

response features that must be visibly accessible on every installation public webpage. 

This guidance established that Headquarters Air Force would be responsible for 

maintaining an Air Force-level sexual assault prevention and response website containing 

up-to-date training and tools for installations to use and reference. Installations were 

mandated to use push down tabs to link its installation websites to the Headquarters Air 

Force website. In addition, the guidance established that Headquarters Air Force would 

create a link on its website to connect to the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s Corps 

website where individuals could view a list of sexual assault convictions across the Air 

Force.

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program first published the Air 

Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response website in April 2014. The website 

features sexual assault prevention and response news stories from around the Air Force 

highlighting innovative ideas and programs at the base level. The website also provides a 

forum for senior leaders to post sexual assault prevention and response related videos as 

well as share survivor stories. The website also includes a link to the special victims’ 

counsel and a running log of all sexual assault cases completed by the Air Force Judge 

Advocate General’s Corps. On the website viewers can find links to resources to include,

but not limited to, the Safe Helpline, definitions, education material, reporting options, and 

contact information for local sexual assault response coordinators. Air Force Public 
115

Affairs team also directed all Air Force maintained websites to build a sexual assault 

prevention and response webpage on each of its more than 150 sites. This effort 

provides local information on the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Programs at

respective units and easy access to resources all of which link directly to the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response website. Since April 2014, the Air Force Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response website has had 64,326 visits and more than 373,052 

pages viewed.

Sexual assault response coordinators and sexual assault prevention and response victim 

advocates routinely use various briefings as opportunities to educate Airmen on sexual 

assault prevention and response contact numbers, reporting options, and eligibility 

information. Fliers, pamphlets and posters are distributed across installations with contact 

information and eligibility information. Briefings include annual training, commander’s 

calls, base newcomers orientations and other venues as requested by installation leaders. 

Additionally, sexual assault prevention and response programs at the base level routinely 

distribute promotional items that have contact information.

6.2 Provide updates on your development and implementation of specialized

medical and mental healthcare policy for sexual assault victims. If applicable,

provide a copy of your updated implementation plan in the appendix.

Policies were updated during fiscal year 2014 pertaining to the specialized medical and 

mental healthcare for sexual assault victims. First, the Air Force Instruction 44-102, 

Medical Care Management, was updated to include a memorandum of understanding 

with registered nurses and healthcare providers detailing the need to meet the standards 

outlined by the Department of Justice in "A National Protocol for Sexual Assault Medical 

Forensic Examinations, Adults/Adolescents.” The credentials for registered nurses and 

healthcare providers delivering services are reviewed every two years. The Air Force 

Instruction discusses the requirement for military treatment facilities to provide gender 

responsive, culturally sensitive, and recovery oriented services to victims of sexual 

assault when addressing provision, documentation, and follow-up medical and mental 

health services. In addition, military treatment facilities undergo inspection by the Air 

Force Surgeon General’s policy team and now require designated executive level 

oversight for programs and services for sexual assault survivors. 

Second, the Air Force Medical Operations Agency, in partnership with the Air Force 

Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office, revised the patient informed consent 

document within Air Force Instruction 44-172, Mental Health, to clearly inform patients 

about the option to obtain a second opinion regarding diagnosis or treatment 

recommendations. A second update notifies sexual assault survivors choosing to be 

seen by a mental health provider that in some rare instance, a healthcare provider may 

disclose a mental health record in response to a court order, or other lawful demand, if an 

exception to the rule of confidentiality applies. 

Third, another initiative that directly supports sexual assault victims is a required higher 

level review when the conditions are met for an administrative discharge. Policy guidance 

is scheduled for a February 2015 release.
116

6.3 Describe your ongoing efforts to review, revise, update, and issue policy

pertaining to:

- The record of dispositions of unrestricted reports.

- General education for correction of military records when victims

experience retaliation.

Unrestricted Reports Disposition: Unrestricted reports of sexual assault include a 

signed Defense Department Form 2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement, and in 

some instance, a Defense Department Form 2911, Sexual Assault Forensic Examination 

Report. The Air Force retains the signed Defense Department Form 2910, Victim 

Reporting Preference Statement, in the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database and 

retains the Defense Department Form 2911, Sexual Assault Forensic Examination 

Report, with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations’ case file for 50 years. 

Currently, the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office and Air Force 

Office of Special Investigations’ regulations reflect this disposition schedule. The Air 

Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office is working to update the Air Force 

Records Disposition Schedule on all forms. 

Air Force Records Correction and Retaliation: The Air Force procedure for correcting 

military records is established in Air Force Instruction 36-2603, Air Force Board For 

Correction of Military Records, and Air Force Instruction 90-301, Inspector General 

Complaints Resolution. A revision to Air Force Instruction 90-301, Inspector General 

Complaints Resolution, is being coordinated and will incorporate language for Title 10 

United States Code 1034, Military Whistleblower Protection Act, from the National 

Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 regarding protected communications 

pertaining to sexual assaults and victims experiencing retaliation. To educate the force 

on records correction and retaliation, the Air Force provided a recommendation for the 

updated Defense Department 2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement, to the Office 

of Secretary of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. This included 

an additional line item ensuring victims are briefed on the ability to engage with the 

Inspector General if they believe they are also a victim of retaliation. 

6.4 Provide an update on your progress in modifying policy provisions for 

general education campaign for correction.

This question has been deleted, reference amendment data call memorandum

January 2, 2015.

6.5 Describe your efforts to sustain policy for General or Flag officer review of

and concurrence in adverse administrative actions and separation of victims

making an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault in fiscal year 2014.

Air Force Instruction 36-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, 

paragraph 6.5.2, states that a commander who is aware, or is made aware by the Airman 

or others, that the Airman is alleged to have been the victim of a sexual assault must notify 

the separation authority that the discharge proceeding involves the victim of a sexual 

assault. Pursuant to this guidance, Air Force Instruction 36-3206, Administrative 
117

Separation of Airmen, was updated on July 2, 2013 to add a paragraph on the special

processing procedures for Airmen who have made an unrestricted report of a sexual 

assault. 

In the recommendation for discharge memorandum, the commander recommending 

discharge must provide sufficient information to the separation authority concerning the 

alleged assault and the respondent’s status to ensure a full and fair consideration of the 

member’s military service and particular situation. As necessary, include information by 

reference with corresponding attachments. The Air Force instructs commanders to consult 

with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the servicing staff judge advocate 

for guidance on the level of information that may be applicable. Additionally, Airmen who 

have made an unrestricted report of sexual assault within the last year have the right to 

request review and approval by the general court-martial convening authority of their 

proposed discharge where the Airman asserts the discharge is in retaliation for a sexual 

assault report.
118

7. Secretary of Defense Initiatives

7.1 Enhancing Commander Accountability—Describe your progress in developing

methods of assessing commander effectiveness in establishing command

climates of dignity and respect. Include efforts made by your Service to

incorporate Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program and victim care

principles in their commands, and efforts made to hold them accountable.

Commanders’ Accountability for Unit Culture: On May 8, 2014, the Air Force 

published Air Force Instruction 1-2, Commander’s Responsibilities, establishing broad 

responsibilities and expectations for commanders. This instruction includes guidance to 

commanders to be morally and ethically above reproach and to exemplify Air Force Core 

Values and standards in their professional and personal lives. It directs commanders to 

establish and maintain a healthy command climate which fosters good order and 

discipline, teamwork, cohesion and trust that ensures members are treated with dignity, 

respect and inclusion and does not tolerate harassment, assault or unlawful discrimination 

of any kind.

Air Force Guidance Memorandum Two to Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and 

Enlisted Evaluation Systems, January 1, 2014, defines commanders and noncommissioned officers’ explicit responsibilities for creating climates of dignity and respect. 

The guidance memorandum sets forth expectations of fair and equal treatment to include 

an environment free of sexual harassment, unlawful discrimination, and sexual assault. 

The guidance memorandum charges commanders with the responsibility to create a 

healthy climate and adhere to Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program 

principles. Raters are also required to evaluate their subordinates on what the member 

did to ensure a healthy organizational climate. Air Force Guidance Memorandum Three 

to the same Air Force Instruction dated July 1, 2014, further mandates raters ensure 

Airmen up to the grade of senior airman know they are expected to contribute to a healthy 

organizational climate while all non-commissioned officers and officers are accountable 

for creating healthy organizational climates. Additionally, every commander is 

responsible for, and will be held accountable for, ensuring their unit has a healthy climate. 

Raters at every level are required to discuss these areas with Airmen through the new 

Airman Comprehensive Assessment. This assessment is a conversation, accompanied 

by a form, between the rater and Airman discussing all aspects of duty performance, 

career development and personal accountability. These new requirements are critical to 

ensuring that Airmen understand their role in creating a healthy culture and environment. 

Additionally, the Air Force published Air Force Guidance Memorandum Four to Air Force 

Instruction 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, on September 17, 2014. 

This memorandum requires sexual related offenses to be annotated in officer and enlisted 

performance reports as required by the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 

2014. The National Defense Authorization Act and memorandum also require a complete 

commander’s review of personnel service records for all members of the unit, regardless 

of grade. Additionally, a complete records review is required within 30 days of arrival for 

Airmen reassigned to the unit. These actions ensure offenses are properly documented 

in officer and enlisted evaluations and given proper consideration during promotion 

boards and other career opportunities. 
119

Finally, in May 2014, the Air Force completed a thorough review of Air Force Instruction 

36-2909, Professional and Unprofessional Relationships (May 1, 1999), and its Air 

Education and Training Command supplement Instruction 36-2909, Recruiting, Education 

and Training Standards of Conduct (December 2, 2013). These instructions define 

unprofessional relationships, fraternization and are punishable under Uniformed Code of 

Military Justice. Air Education and Training Instruction 36-2909 further prescribes 

negative actions, reporting and consequences of hazing, standards of recruiting and 

enumerates dozens of specific prohibited acts between faculty, staff, and recruiters and 

applicants, recruits, trainees, cadets, students, entry-level status airman, and their 

immediate family members. The Department of Defense’s Report on Protections for 

Prospective and New Members of the Armed Forces During Entry-Level Processing and 

Training determined that Air Force policy and the Uniform Code of Military Justice have 

adequate legal tools to address this type of misconduct. 

7.2 Ensuring Safety—Describe your efforts, policies, and/or programmatic

changes undertaken to improve sexual assault prevention and response 

training for members of the military serving in recruiting organizations, Military

Entrance Processing Stations, and the Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Include measures taken by your Service to select, train, and oversee 

recruiters, disseminate Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program

information to potential and actual recruits, and how your Service has 

incorporated Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program information in 

Reserved Officer training Corps environments and curricula.

Air Force Recruiting Service: To improve sexual assault prevention and response 

training for members of the military serving in recruiting organizations and military

entrance processing stations, Air Force Recruiting Service trained two to three members 

in every squadron throughout the command using Air Force guidance to facilitate 

mandated training. Air Force Recruiting Service conducted additional Defense Connect 

Online training sessions to facilitate and ensure completion. The command managed and 

tracked the progress of their squadrons along with the military entrance processing 

stations and reported when they were 100% complete. 

Applicant Training: The continued use of the Professional Airman's Development Guide 

trains and prepares applicants on professional relationships. Air Force Recruiting Service 

is working to further the development of applicants at delayed entrance processing 

commander's calls, where topics such as leadership and the Core Values are discussed.

Additionally, applicants receive extensive inspire, deter, detect, dissuade and 

accountability training, which is one of the very first types of training the applicant is given 

after they begin working with their recruiter. The training goes over how an applicant 

should expect to be treated, and explains that any type of unprofessional relationship 

between applicants and recruiters is not allowed. It also covers how an applicant may 

report an unprofessional relationship, attempted unprofessional relationship, or sexual 

misconduct by an applicant. The Air Force Recruiting Service provides guidance to units 

on how Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program information or training should 
120

be provided to potential and actual recruits.

Recruiter Screening: All candidates’ records are pre-screened and reviewed before 

assignment to recruiter duties. The in-depth review addresses quality and risk factors 

related to performance evaluations, physical fitness, mental health, and substance abuse

related incidents. An outline of the entire screening process is described below.

 Candidates are nominated by their current squadron commander for 

developmental special duties in accordance with the personnel services delivery 

memorandum.

 Candidate names are submitted through wings to major commands and forwarded 

to Air Force Personnel Center.

 The Air Force Personnel Center runs a screen on quality indicators in military 

personnel data system (e.g., unfavorable information files codes and assignment 

availability codes).

 Air Force Personnel Center provides a list to Air Education and Training Command 

Manpower, Personnel and Services of tentatively qualified candidates.

 Air Education and Training Command pulls single unit retrieval formats and 

physical fitness test history and eliminates any disqualified candidates on these 

indicators.

 Air Education and Training Command provides a pre-screened candidate list and 

action is initiated on anything found in the Air Force Recruiting Service screening 

process.

 Any unqualified candidate is returned to Air Education and Training Command for 

disposition.

 The Department of Defense requirements to conduct additional civilian background 

checks will be implemented in fiscal year 2015.

School House Training: New recruiters receive considerable instruction on professional 

conduct and the Inspire, Deter, Detect, Dissuade and Accountability Program, in hopes of 

dissuading, deterring, and detecting any type of sexual misconduct between a recruiter 

and an applicant. New recruiters are trained on what a professional relationship with an 

applicant is at least 14 times before they are certified as a recruiter, to include a 2-hour 

legal briefing. 

Enlisted Recruiting: In April 2013, the Air Force instituted improved protections that 

begin as soon as an Air Force applicant meets with a recruiter. Continuing in 2014, 

recruiters brief new recruits on the definitions of sexual assault, sexual harassment, 

unprofessional relationships, maltreatment, poor training, and the requirement to report 

misconduct in the recruitment phase. The recruiter’s goal is to ensure applicants 
121

understand that the Air Force does not and will not tolerate these negative behaviors. 

The recruiters also ensure new recruits understand the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Program reporting procedures should they happen to be 

subjected to or witness anyone carrying out these offenses. To guarantee the message is 

received, the Air Force gives the same briefing again after the recruits arrive at Basic 

Military Training.

Enlisted Accessions Training: In September 2012, the Secretary of Defense directed 

the military services to implement training on preventing sexual assault and other 

misconduct in initial military training. The Air Force improved and continues to improve 

training throughout the development of an Airman. In 2013, Air Education and Training 

Command enacted the “Rights and Duties of an Air Force Trainee” (Attachment One). In 

fiscal year 2014, the Air Force continued to emphasize the “Rights and Duties” starting 

with the recruiter, continuing at the military entrance processing station, Basic Military 

Training, and technical training. All new enlisted recruits must acknowledge the principles 

highlighted in the “Rights and Duties” which include: a community free of unlawful 

discrimination, harassment, intimidation and threats; professional conduct by leaders at all 

levels; equal opportunity, professional relationships with all leaders with prohibited activity 

described in great detail; and a duty to report inappropriate behavior. The enactment of 

the “Rights and Duties of an Air Force Trainee” was a significant training enhancement as 

it ensures Airmen within the accessions pipeline understand the Air Force’s commitment 

to sexual assault prevention and response. 

United States Air Force Academy: The Air Force Academy is committed to the 

advancement of values and behaviors required of military officers. The Air Force 

Academy is also dedicated to increasing sexual assault prevention and response 

education, victim confidence associated with reporting and victim support. The Air Force 

Academy makes specific efforts to heighten cadets’ social sensitivity and respect for 

human dignity as part of a holistic approach to officer preparation. These efforts deliver 

training and education experiences to the right audience at the right time to develop a 

sense of personal responsibility as leaders, followers, and peers. 

During the 2012-2013 timeframe, the Superintendent of the Air Force Academy created 

the position of Director for Culture, Climate, and Diversity. The academy developed the 

position to chart a strategy that leverages resources and expertise to shape a climate of 

dignity and respect. The director works directly for the Superintendent and serves as the 

institutional focal point for today’s climate, culture, diversity, and inclusion challenges. 

The new director assumed responsibility of the Air Force Academy Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. The 

Air Force Academy remains committed to eliminating sexual assault and harassment 

through an inclusive climate that respects human dignity within a diverse fighting force.

To ensure a continuum of sexual assault training throughout the four-year degree 

program at the academy, the curriculum was enhanced in 2013 with a philosophy that 

within the first year, the cadet is a follower; second year a role model; third year a 

worker/coach; and fourth year a leader. 
122

 As a follower, three and a half-hours are dedicated to content focusing on 

addressing definitions, roles, policies, gender issues, safety measures and 

bystander intervention.

 As a role model, two and a half-hours are dedicated to address content covering 

consequences along with verbal and nonverbal communication sexual cues.

 As a worker/coach, four-hours are dedicated to address prevention behaviors, 

victim psychology, holding peers appropriately accountable, victim empathy, and 

helping behaviors. 

 Finally, as a leader, two and a half-hours are dedicated to focusing on legal 

implications and leadership roles in preventing sexual assaults.

The academy conducts sexual assault prevention and response training via large group 

briefings, small group facilitation, and leadership panels along with peer facilitated 

scenario discussions. 

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps: This officer accession source is a college 

program offered at more than 1,100 colleges and universities across the United States. 

The program recruits, educates, and commissions officer candidates through college 

campuses based on Air Force requirements. It prepares young men and women to 

become Air Force officers while earning a college degree. 

Freshman and sophomore college students may enroll in the Air Force Reserve Officer 

Training Corps General Military Course. This initial course focuses on Air Force history 

and Air Force Core Values. College students who choose to continue in the general 

military course may compete as officer candidates during their sophomore year to attend 

a five-week field training encampment. Upon successful field training completion and at 

the start of their junior year, students enroll in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training 

Corps Professional Officer Course and commit to a four-year post-graduation service 

commitment with the Air Force. To ensure a continuum of sexual assault prevention

training throughout the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Program, the curriculum 

was enhanced in 2014 to include the following content in a three-hour block of instruction 

each semester. 

 An explanation of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program to 

include: definitions of sexual assault, consent, and confidentiality; risks associated 

with alcohol use; the roles of a perpetrator, facilitator, bystander and victim; the 

wingman concept; the effects sexual assault can have on a unit’s trust and 

cohesion; the importance of empathy to a victim; and how gender relations and 

sexism can impact trust and mission accomplishment.

 A case study addressing how to handle a sexual assault from both the victim and 

leadership standpoints as well as inappropriate relationships among military 

members.
123

During a cadet’s field training encampment, which occurs between their sophomore and 

junior year, cadets receive a visit from the Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama Sexual 

Assault Response Coordinator. The sexual assault response coordinator discusses his or 

her role and responsibilities during the encampment, and a victim advocate’s role in 

supporting a sexual assault victim. The sexual assault response coordinator is available 

during the encampment to discuss sexual assault reporting options and to answer cadet 

questions about the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. In the summer 

of 2014, the field training encampment sexual assault prevention and response curriculum 

incorporated “Sex Signals”, a traveling sexual assault awareness production. The 

inclusion of this production into field training enables the Air Force to educate future 

officers on dating, sex, and the core issue of understanding consent, which is vital to Air 

Force prevention efforts. 

7.3 Evaluate Commander Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Training—

Describe your progress in developing core competencies and learning objectives

for Pre-Command and Senior Enlisted Leader sexual assault prevention training. 

If your Service has completed an assessment of newly established core

competencies and learning objectives, explain findings and recommendations.

Pre-Command Course: In 2014, the Air Force evaluated and revamped the PreCommand Course taught at Air University. Prior to taking command, wing and group 

commanders attend this course and receive sexual assault prevention and response 

training. Airmen assigned to the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

Office conducted the training for 375 participants in fiscal year 2014.

In 2014, the sexual assault prevention and response training portion of the Pre-Command 

Course was extended from two to three hours based on past participants’ feedback. The 

training consists of presentations about sexual assault prevalence and reporting data, the 

neurobiology of trauma, sexual assault prevention, and offender dynamics. The course 

also provides commanders with recommendations of what they can implement at their 

base to lead sexual assault prevention efforts. 

Additionally, a pre-test is administered to prospective students to determine a 

commanders’ baseline sexual assault prevention knowledge. The pre-test results are 

used to customize and individualize course content to meet the course’s knowledge and 

training objectives. At the conclusion of the course, post-assessments are administered 

to determine how effectively commanders grasp the material. In 2014, the results showed 

an improvement in overall class score and correct answers given for each question, and 

an increase in leaders’ self-assessment of their confidence to address sexual assault 

prevention and response in their units.

In fiscal year 2015, the Air Force Sexual Assault and Prevention Office will incorporate the 

following updates into the curriculum for the Squadron Commanders’ Course: primary 

prevention measures, specific roles of squadron commanders in case management 

groups, and professional and social retaliation.
124

Senior Non-commissioned Officer Academy: The Senior Non-commissioned Officer 

Academy is the third level of enlisted professional military education. The academy 

prepares senior non-commissioned officers to lead the enlisted force in the employment 

of air, space, and cyberspace power in support of the United States national security 

objectives. It is located at Maxwell‐Gunter Annex, Alabama. The academy provides 60 

minutes of sexual assault prevention and response content focusing on fostering an 

environment of dignity and respect, victim psychology, and the impact of sexual assault 

on readiness to senior enlisted leaders at the master sergeant level and above. During 

fiscal year 2014, a course material review assessed and validated that the Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy was meeting all of the Department of Defense core 

competencies and learning objectives.

7.4 Develop Collaborative Forum for Sexual Assault Prevention Methods—

Describe your implementation plan and methods for establishing a community of

practice and collaboration forum to share best and promising practices and

lessons learned with external experts, federal partners, Military Services, National 

Guard Bureau advocacy organizations, and educational institutions.

National Sexual Assault Conference: In August 2014, the Air Force Sexual Assault 

Response Coordinator Course was held in conjunction with the National Sexual Assault 

Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During the first two days of the conference Air 

Force personnel instructed attendees on the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program, professional ethics, and performed Defense Sexual Assault Incident 

Database training. The final three days were dedicated to attending the National Sexual 

Assault Conference, which was a valuable opportunity for Air Force experts to collaborate 

and share information with Sister Service representatives, clinical experts, and industry 

leaders. This conference was one of the finest learning opportunities for our sexual 

assault response coordinators to gain continuing education credits, to maintain 

credentials, and learn from nationally accredited experts regarding sexual assault.

Sexual Assault Prevention Summit: In January 2015, the Director, Air Force Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office will host a Sexual Assault Prevention Summit.

External experts, partners, and educators will present proven prevention methods to a 

cross-section of the Air Force population. This collaborative forum will allow the Air Force 

to gain the information and education necessary to update its Sexual Assault Prevention 

Strategy and develop new prevention measures to be launched force wide. 

The Air Force invited sexual assault prevention experts, federal partners, members of 

academia, and Air National Guard members to both the National Sexual Assault 

Conference and the Sexual Assault Prevention Summit. These events strengthen

collaboration and interoperability among the total force and support our efforts to create 

an enduring prevention community of practice. In fiscal year 2015, the Air Force plans to 

use the prevention community to discuss prevention measures and lessons learned 

among Services to further refine future sexual assault prevention and response initiatives.

7.5 Improving Response & Victim Treatment—Describe your efforts to improve

overall victim care and trust in the chain of command. Include updates or
125

initiatives undertaken by your Service to reduce the possibility of ostracizing

victims, to increase reporting, and measures your Service has taken to account

for victim input in these efforts.

Commanders’ Role in Victim Advocacy: Commanders must not condone sexual 

assault and they are required to cultivate a command climate that encourages victims of 

these traumatic crimes to seek care. To codify that requirement, on May 8, 2014, the Air 

Force published Air Force Instruction 1-2, Commander’s Responsibilities, establishing 

broad responsibilities and expectations for commanders. This instruction includes 

guidance to commanders to be morally and ethically above reproach and to exemplify Air 

Force Core Values and standards in their professional and personal lives. It directs 

commanders to establish and maintain a healthy command climate that fosters good 

order and discipline, teamwork, cohesion and trust that ensures members are treated with 

dignity, respect and inclusion and does not tolerate harassment, assault or unlawful 

discrimination of any kind. Please reference question 7.1 for more information regarding 

a commander’s role in fostering a healthy climate, unit accountability, and victim 

advocacy.

Policy on Preventing Retaliation: Section 1709 of the National Defense Authorization 

Act for fiscal year 2014 required the services to prescribe regulations prohibiting 

retaliation against any victim or other member of the armed forces who reports a criminal 

offense and to state that any such retaliation is punishable under Article 92 of the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice. The regulation must define retaliation to include “taking or 

threatening to take an adverse personnel action, or withholding or threatening to withhold 

a favorable personnel action” as well as “ostracism and such acts of maltreatment” 

committed because the member reported a criminal offense. The Air Force has 

implemented this provision through an Air Force Guidance Memorandum to Air Force 

Instruction 36-2909, Professional and Unprofessional Relationships. This policy is 

intended to remove one of the barriers to reporting sexual assault by providing enhanced 

protection for victims and their peers from retaliation after making a report.

2014 Focus Groups: The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office provides

every opportunity to hear from victims and survivors on their stories and experiences. 

This special opportunity is used to receive feedback and input on how we can better help 

or support victims who decide to come forward. During the 2014 focus groups, sessions 

were reserved for one-on-one communication with any victim or survivor who desired to 

personally share any input from their perspective with headquarters personnel. Based on 

the feedback or input received, it helps shape future policies and/or guidance as we are 

wholeheartedly committed to constantly evolve and improve the sexual assault prevention 

and response capability to better suit those in need. 

During the 2014 focus group tour, each group was asked – Do you think victims are afraid 

of retaliation or other negative treatment if they file a report? In general, Airmen across 

the force felt retaliation was not an accurate word; however they did feel social stigma and 

isolation, whether real or imagined. To address this concern, the Air Force will conduct a 

training module dedicated entirely to educating the force on professional and social 

retaliation in fiscal year 2015. Additionally, the training module will educate Airmen on Air 
126

Force Inspector General reporting channels. 

7.6 Enhancing Protections—Describe your efforts to update policies allowing for

the administrative reassignment or expedited transfer of a member who is

accused of committing a sexual assault or related offense. Include your Service’s

efforts to account for both the interests of the victim and the accused.

In February 2014, the Air Force made changes to the Air Force's December 2011

expedited transfer policies and procedures by implementing an Air Force Guidance 

Memorandum to Air Force Instruction 36-2110, Assignments, allowing reassignment or

expedited transfer of a member who is accused of committing a sexual assault or related

offense. Previously commanders had the authority to administratively reassign an 

accused, but it was not an express requirement that commanders consider this option 

when acting on a victim’s expedited transfer request. 

Per policy, to enhance protection for the sexual assault victim, potential reassignment of 

the alleged offender/accused may also be considered by the vice wing commander or

equivalent, balancing the interests of the victim and the alleged offender. The vice wing 

commander or equivalent must consult with the servicing staff judge advocate and military 

criminal investigation organization in making this decision when there is an open 

investigation. Reassignment options include a temporary or permanent change of 

assignment or permanent change of station to a location determined by Air Force needs.

The Air Force attempts to account for the interests of the victim and the accused by

offering both the same opportunities to submit location preferences. Additionally, they 

may submit documentation of family member’s enrollment in the Exceptional Family 

Member Program, as well as any other circumstances relating to the reassignment that

he or she desires to bring for the vice wing commander’s (or equivalent) consideration. 

Assignment availability codes, assignment limitation codes and medical limitation codes 

must also be addressed prior to reassignment. Both the victim and the accused have 

access to legal representation if desired throughout the expedited transfer process. For 

the victim, the permanent change of assignment or permanent change of station will 

assist with the immediate and future welfare of the victim, while also allowing victims to 

move to a location that will offer additional support to assist with healing, recovery, and 

the rehabilitation process. If the best location for the victim is the current location and 

having the accused and the victim at the same location is not feasible for various 

reasons, the commander may consider moving the accused. The goal when transferring 

the victim and the accused is a timely reassignment with minimal disruption to an 

Airman’s career and family.

7.7 Improving Victim Legal Support—Describe your efforts to establish a special

victim’s advocacy program that provides legal advice and representation for

victims of sexual assault. Include your Service’s measures of effectiveness for

this program, as well as efforts made to collaborate and share best practices with

other services.

Special Victims’ Counsel - Program Development: On January 28, 2013, the Air 
127

Force established the federal government’s first, large-scale Special Victims’ Counsel 

Program as a pilot program for the Department of Defense to provide independent judge 

advocates to represent sexual assault victims eligible for legal assistance under Title 10 

United States Code sections 1044, Legal Assistance, and 1565b, Victims of Sexual 

Assault: Access to Legal Assistance and Services of Sexual Assault Response 

Coordinators and Sexual Assault Victim Advocates, since statutorily required by the 

National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 under Title 10 United States Code

section 1044e, Special Victims’ Counsel for Victims of Sex-Related Offenses. The Air 

Force Judge Advocate General directed the creation of the Special Victims’ Counsel 

Program to provide legal assistance to victims of sexual assault, help them better 

understand the investigation and legal process, ensure their rights are protected, and their 

voices heard. 

On June 1, 2013, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program transitioned from 60 judge 

advocates serving as part-time special victims’ counsel, to 24 judge advocates serving 

as full-time special victims’ counsel under an independent chain of command in the Air 

Force Legal Operations Agency, Special Victims’ Counsel Division. 

On August 14, 2013, the Secretary of Defense directed the Secretaries of the Military 

Departments to “establish a special victim’s advocacy program best suited for that Service 

that provides legal advice and representation to the victim throughout the justice process.” 

The Air Force’s Special Victims’ Counsel Program was already in full compliance with that 

directive and had been since its inception in January 2013.

Under the provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014, 

beginning June 24, 2014, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program began representing child 

victims of sexual assault who are eligible to receive military legal assistance. 

As of September 2014, the Division now includes a headquarters staff with a colonel 

division chief, a General Schedule-14 associate chief, a Master Sergeant Special Victims’ 

Paralegal Manager; and 28 special victims’ counsel and 10 special victims’ paralegals at 

19 locations worldwide. The number of special victims’ counsel will continue to expand in 

2015, reaching 40 by summer 2015. Additionally, three senior special victims’ counsel in 

the rank of major will be added to the program to provide supervisory assistance. Since 

the program’s inception, special victims’ counsels have represented more than 1,100 

eligible victims of sexual assault.

Measure of Effectiveness: To measure the effectiveness of the Special Victims’ 

Counsel Program, in March 2013 the Air Force began offering clients whose case had 

concluded an anonymous Victim Impact Survey. During fiscal year 2014, the results 

show that an overwhelming majority (91% of those responding) are “extremely satisfied” 

with the advice and support of the special victims’ counsel during the Article 32 hearing 

and court-martial process. Of the remainder, eight percent were “satisfied” and one 

percent was “dissatisfied.” Ninety-eight percent of those surveyed would recommend 

other victims request a special victims’ counsel. These survey results perform several 

functions: The results are reviewed by Special Victims’ Counsel Program leadership to 

determine trends or address concerns raised, results are shared throughout Department 
128

of Defense and Air Force leadership on a weekly basis and provided to the special 

victims’ counsel, when the special victims’ counsel is identified, in order to facilitate the 

communication of appreciation a victim has for the special victims’ counsel.

Guidance Documents: The Special Victims’ Counsel Rules of Practice and Procedure, 

Charter, and Air Force Guidance Memorandum to Air Force Instruction 51-504, Legal 

Assistance, Notary, and Preventive Law Program, support and guide Special Victims’ 

Counsel Program implementation. Last year, these documents were updated to reflect 

National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014 changes covering representation 

of child victims of sexual assault. 

Notifying Victims of the Availability of Special Victims’ Counsel Services: The first 

individual to make contact with the victim, such as a sexual assault response coordinator, 

victim advocate, family advocacy representative, investigator, Victim Witness Assistance 

Program liaison or trial counsel, is required to inform the victim of the availability of special 

victims’ counsel services using a modified version of the Department of Defense Form 

2701, Initial Information for Victims/Witnesses of Crime. Victims may contact a special 

victims’ counsel directly or may request special victims’ counsel representation from any 

of the agencies noted above.

Scope of Special Victims’ Counsel Services: Special victims’ counsel provide holistic 

legal representation to victims, ranging from advising victims on all aspects of the military 

justice process to traditional legal assistance. The special victims’ counsel’s roles include: 

Advocacy to participants in the military justice process, including commanders and 

convening authorities; attending interviews with investigators, trial counsel, and defense 

counsel; providing in-court representation; representing victims on collateral misconduct 

issues; advocacy to other Air Force and Department of Defense agencies as appropriate; 

and advocacy to civilian prosecutors and agencies. Special victims’ counsel may not 

formally appear civilian court proceedings because although they are licensed attorneys, 

they are frequently not licensed in the jurisdiction in which they are stationed with the Air 

Force. However, they may advocate to civilian prosecutors and law enforcement 

agencies on their clients’ behalf.

Eligibility for Special Victims’ Counsel Representation: Victims of sexual assault, 

stalking, and other sexual misconduct are eligible for special victims’ counsel 

representation based on authorization to provide legal assistance under Title 10 United 

States Code sections 1044, Legal Assistance, 1044e, Special Victims’ Counsel for Victims 

of Sex-Related Offenses, and 1565b, Victims of Sexual Assault: Access to Legal 

Assistance and Services of Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Sexual Assault 

Victim Advocates.

 Air Force members (Active Duty and Reserve/Guard in Title 10 status at 

time of offense) (note: Additional eligibility for Reserve component members 

is being developed).

 Dependents of Air Force members if the perpetrator is a military member 

subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
129

 Other service members and their dependents if the perpetrator is a military 

member subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (individuals will be 

referred to their respective service’s special victims’ counsel or Victims 

Legal Counsel Programs).

 Other categories eligible for legal assistance from the Air Force (e.g., 

retirees and others listed in Title 10 United States Code section 1044, Legal 

Assistance) if the perpetrator is a military member subject to the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice.

Coordination between the Services: The Special Victims’ Counsel Program 

chiefs/managers of all the Military Services regularly communicate/coordinate with one 

another via email, telephone, and face-to-face meetings to discuss special victims’ 

counsel issues, exchange lessons learned, and share best practices. The Air Force 

provided the other services with lessons learned, subject matter expertise, its rules of 

practice and procedure, and standard document templates, as they stood up their 

respective programs. The services' special victims’ counsel and victims’ legal counsel 

chiefs/program managers collaborate on potential appellate issues and extend 

opportunities for each program to file amicus briefs in support of a particular issue. On a 

more formal basis, the chiefs/program managers meet monthly to address Special 

Victims’ Counsel Program issues of common applicability, to include forming a working

group to develop the framework for child representation. Individual special victims’ 

counsel at the installation level routinely collaborate with special victims’ counsel/victims’ 

legal counsel from the other services who also serve within their geographic region. The 

Air Force hosted two Joint Service Special Victims’ Counsel/Victims’ Legal Counsel 

Training Courses to train personnel from the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air National 

Guard, and Coast Guard. Air Force special victims’ counsels have also provided training 

at the Army's Special Victims’ Counsel Course and shared lessons learned. 

Program Recognition and Outreach: In April 2014, the Department of Justice awarded 

the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Program the Federal Service Award for providing 

victims with free legal representation and guiding them through the military justice 

process. In a press release announcing the award, Attorney General Eric Holder stated, 

“Through their courage and critical contributions to assist and empower victims, these 

individuals and organizations have given hope to countless Americans victimized by 

crime—even under the most difficult circumstances.” Additionally, the Special Victims’ 

Counsel Program was the only section to receive a “superior team” award during the Air 

Force Legal Operations Agency Unit Effectiveness Inspection. The former Special 

Victims’ Counsel Division Chief was the first Air Force recipient in the 15-year history of 

the Burton Award, which is presented to the individual demonstrating the highest degree 

of professionalism and integrity employed in the executive branch of government. 

In 2014, members of the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Program and Military Justice 

Division provided presentations at the American Bar Association Mid-Year and Annual 

Conferences and the National Sexual Assault Conference. Additionally, they provided the 

opening address at the 2014 National Crime Victims’ Law Conference.
130

In fiscal year 2014, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program contributed to the knowledge 

base regarding advocacy on behalf of sexual assault victims throughout the civilian and 

military legal communities. Special victims’ counsel program Chiefs have testified at the 

Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel, the Military Justice Review 

Group, and, soon, the Judicial Proceedings Panel. Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel 

Program leaders, possessing some of the most current, broadest and successful 

experience in representing sexual assault victims, have informed military policy at the 

highest levels, paving the way for the development of similar Federal and state crime 

victims’ policy and representation. 

7.8 Develop Standardized and Voluntary Survey for Victims and Survivors—

Describe your progress in developing and participating in a standardized victim

survey. List efforts made jointly with other Services and Departments to regularly

administer the standardized victim survey in such a way that protects victim

privacy and does not adversely impact victim legal and health status.

Surveys are one of the most effective tools used to provide leaders specific statistical 

information to tell a story about the health and welfare of a large population or 

environment. The Air Force uses several surveys to provide commanders and leaders 

with relevant and necessary information. The following surveys were developed or fielded 

to expand the understanding of sexual assault prevention and response related issues.

Special Victims’ Counsel Program Victim Impact Survey: The Air Force, as the first 

service to implement the Special Victims’ Counsel Program, proactively initiated a Special 

Victims’ Counsel Program Victim Impact Survey. The anonymous survey was developed 

in consultation with several civilian subject matter experts and fielded in March 2013 in 

order to measure program effectiveness as a whole. 

The survey measures whether special victims’ counsel are effectively assisting their 

clients with various military justice matters, including assisting victims with understanding 

the investigative and courts-martial processes, their rights as crime victims, and whether 

they feel they are able to exercise their rights as crime victims. The survey also measures

victims’ subjective feelings on whether they feel supported throughout the military justice 

process. The survey is now provided to all sexual assault victims involved in the military 

justice process.

During fiscal year 2014, the results showed that an overwhelming majority (91% of those 

responding) are “extremely satisfied” with the advice and support of the special victims’ 

counsel during the Article 32 hearing and court-martial process. Of the remainder, eight

percent were “satisfied” and one percent was “dissatisfied.” 98% of those surveyed would 

recommend other victims request a special victims’ counsel. 

Survey results are used to shape special victims’ counsel policy and training. Additionally, 

the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Program regularly shares the responses with Air 

Force leadership to enable them to assess victims’ perception of the support they 

received throughout the military justice process. Victims have the option of providing their 
131

name when they fill out the survey. When victims include their name, their feedback is 

shared with their special victims’ counsel, providing them with a great sense of 

accomplishment and renewed motivation. 

Victim Experiences Survey: Based on the success of the Special Victims’ Counsel 

Victim Impact Survey, in fiscal year 2014, the Air Force constructed a Victim Experiences 

Survey, for survivors to comment about their interaction with any advocacy services they 

received. The survey included a variety of questions on service from the sexual assault 

response coordinator, victim advocate, medical services, special victims’ counsel, Air 

Force Office of Special Investigations, and/or Judge Advocate. The Air Force intended to 

ask volunteers to provide feedback regarding both the service quality and desired 

services. However, prior to Air Force implementation, the Department of Defense Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office decided to use a smaller subset of questions as 

the Survivor Experience Survey in fiscal year 2014. To avoid excessive surveying of 

survivors, the Air Force agreed to delay the implementation of its survey until fiscal year 

2015.

Survivor Experience Survey: The 2014 Survivor Experience Survey is an anonymous 

survey that was created by the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Office and the Services to assess satisfaction with the services and resources 

survivors of sexual assault have recently received or used. The survey was distributed 

between June 4, 2014 and August 3, 2014 to victims of sexual assault. It was designed 

by the Defense Manpower Data Center and the Department of Defense Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office in response to the Secretary of Defense’s tasking to the 

Department to improve the services provided to survivors of sexual assault. The 

Secretary of Defense’s Directive requires that a standardized and voluntary survey for 

survivors be developed and regularly administered to “provide the sexual assault 

victim/survivor the opportunity to assess and provide feedback on their experiences with 

sexual assault prevention and response victim assistance, the military health system, the 

military justice process, and other areas of support.” This survey was divided into the 

following topic areas for evaluation; background knowledge/information, awareness of 

resources, the reporting process, the reporting experience and overall general 

experience.
132

8 Amendment Item 

8.1 In September 2014, the Government Accountability Office published its report, 

“Department of Defense needs to Take Further Action to Prevent Sexual Assault 

during Initial Military Training.” This report examined the extent to which the Air 

Force implemented the 46 recommendations in the Commander’s report to better 

prevent, investigate, and respond to sexual assault during basic training and 

evaluated the effectiveness of actions taken. 

In the report, Government Accountability Office recommended that the Secretary of 

the Air Force establish an oversight framework to evaluate the effectiveness of 

actions taken in response to the recommendations in the Commander’s report. 

This oversight framework would include identifying time frames for completion of 

its efforts to develop and implement performance goals and measures for 

evaluating the progress made as a result of implementing its actions. 

Provide the results, or preliminary results, of this evaluation as item 8 at the end of 

your fiscal year 2014 Annual Report.

As a result of the Basic Military Training misconduct investigated through a commander 

directed investigation in 2012, a series of corrective actions were identified and 

implemented to improve the Basic Military Training environment. The Director, The Chief 

of Air Force Safety, Major General Margaret H. Woodward, was commissioned by the Air 

Education and Training Command Commander to complete an evaluation of that 

environment. This formal commander directed investigation resulted in 46 specific action 

items for change, which in turn created the need for a vehicle to ensure sustained 

institutional efforts at implementation and continuing oversight. After countless hours of 

informal oversight, the Air Education and Training Command Commander directed the 

establishment of a formal oversight council to review the progress and effectiveness of 

previously implemented actions, provide an expanded perspective on future actions, and 

advise the commander on strategic issues affecting Airman safety, good order, and 

discipline within the recruiting, education, and training environments. This resulted in the 

January 5, 2013 establishment of the Recruiting, Education and Training Oversight 

Council, chaired by the Air Education and Training Command Commander with 

membership from across the command. This oversight body does not replace the role of 

commanders and leaders at all levels that bear first-line responsibility for oversight and 

action to ensure a safe environment for recruits, trainees and students within their 

organizations. However, this oversight council ensures command-wide awareness of 

issues, broad collaboration to support commanders, and long-term continuity to safeguard 

actions to ensure the security of the recruiting, education and training environments. 

The Recruiting, Education and Training Oversight Council’s strategic goals are linked to 

the Command’s Strategic Plan, the Air Force Strategy, the Department of Defense Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan and the Quadrennial Defense Review.

Air Education and Training Command developed a battle rhythm comprised of weekly online interactive web-based meetings with representatives from all key stakeholders in all 

the command’s mission areas. Monthly, the Air Education and Training Command 

Commander conducts an in-person meeting that deliberately assesses progress toward 

implementation of the commander directed inspection recommendations and focuses on 

the effectiveness of actions taken. Structured in accordance with the Government 

Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2011, which provides guidance to 

implement results oriented government performance management systems, the 

Recruiting, Education and Training Oversight Council ensures the continuous monitoring 

and reporting of accomplishments toward its goals and objectives. Measures include 

process, output, and outcome measures to meet the goals of the Recruiting, Education 

and Training Oversight Council charter. The oversight framework identified focus areas 

and clear goals, and measured and analyzed performance in order to deliver world class 

professionalism with frequent, data-driven reviews. 

The Air Force made four commitments as a result of the misconduct discovered in 2012 

and the subsequent review. They are as follows:

 Thoroughly investigate all allegations of misconduct.

 Care for the victims of the misconduct, regardless of their consent to the activity.
135

 Hold perpetrators of misconduct accountable for their actions while protecting due 

process.

 Identify and correct the underlying problems that permitted the misconduct to occur.

Major General Woodward’s commander directed investigation produced 46 

recommendations categorized into five major areas: 

 Leadership, where deterrence was found to be hindered by insufficient leadership 

oversight.

 Military training instructor selection and manning, where members of the Military 

Training Instructor Corps had minimal leadership experience and too much power 

resided in a single instructor.

 Military training instructor training and development, where the military training 

instructor culture and training did not adequately emphasize non-commissioned 

officer responsibilities.

 Reporting and detection, addressing barriers that exist for reporting by military 

training instructors, trainees and students.

 Policy and guidance, where enduring institutional safeguards are necessary.

KEY ACTIONS TAKEN:

 Fully implemented 43/46 commander directed investigation’s recommendations; 

2/46 implemented, but require additional time to achieve full completion; and one 

recommendation not implemented as written, but being fully addressed through a 

Capstone Week initiative.

Fourteen actions strengthened Basic Military Training Leadership.

 Bolstered Basic Military Training squadron commander quality across all career 

fields.

 Upgraded rank structure from major to lieutenant colonel in October 2012.

 Revised Air Force policy with deliberate focus on vectoring top quality officers from 

developmental teams and ensuring that Air Education and Training Command is

the first hiring authority. Summer 2015 completes third cycle of this process.

 Added seven operations officers and 26 flight commanders to squadron staffs to 

improve leadership oversight.

 Developed formal training using scientifically developed sexual assault, sexual 
136

harassment, unprofessional relationship, maltreatment, and mal-training indicators 

and lessons learned from training environment veterans. Implemented this training 

for leadership, faculty, and staff prior to their arrival at Basic Military Training.

 Developed a clear policy requiring that wing commanders be informed immediately 

of all allegations of sexual assault, sexual harassment, unprofessional 

relationships, maltreatment, and mal-training.

 Required wing commander notification of all allegations of sexual assault, sexual 

harassment, unprofessional relationships, maltreatment, and mal-training reported 

in the end-of-course surveys and anonymous critique boxes.

 Required squadron commander consultation with the local legal office, prior to 

taking administrative or disciplinary action, upon discovering allegations of sexual 

assault, sexual harassment, unprofessional relationships, maltreatment, and maltraining.

 Implemented a quarterly trend report on implementation of leadership 

recommendations to the chain of command.

 Overhauled policy on trainee abuse.

 Ensure that every Basic Military Training squadron has a chief master sergeant 

superintendent and a diamond-wearing first sergeant with at least one year of 

experience as a first sergeant.

 Elevated grade of superintendents from senior master sergeant to chief master 

sergeant. 

 Elevated grade of squadron first sergeants from master sergeant to senior master 

sergeant. 

 If the allegation against a military training instructor involves maltreatment or maltraining, military training instructors are immediately removed from the training 

environment. 

 Overhauled military training instructors retraining for maltreatment.

 Decertified and mandated remedial training prior to recertification and 

reinstatement for all instructors found to have been engaged in maltreatment or 

mal-training.

 Required squadron commanders to review and sign documentation ensuring that 

remedial training was accomplished.

 Mandated documentation of the incident and remedial training in both the 

member’s training records and personnel information file to ensure proper tracking 

of personnel with disciplinary issues.
137

 Expanded Air Education and Training Command Instruction 36-2909, 

Unprofessional Relationships, to Recruiting, Education and Training Standards of 

Conduct, to clarify expectations across all Air Education and Training Command

environments.

 Ensured commander awareness of misconduct and provided consistent standards 

and accountability relating to sexual assault, unprofessional relationships, and 

related issues.

 Specified a duty for recruiters, faculty and staff to report alleged violations of Air

Education and Training Command Instruction 36-2909 to appropriate authorities.

 Added specifications on annual training requirements, definitions, prohibitions, 

initial disposition authorities, as well as new procedures for gathering, reporting, 

and storing derogatory personnel information.

 Codified trainee abuse, hazing and misconduct related to maltreatment and maltraining.

 2d AF/CC implemented a guidance memorandum withholding disposition authority 

to higher levels and directed reporting timelines be within 24 hours

 Mandated duty for recruiters, faculty, and staff members with knowledge of an 

alleged violation, or attempted violation to immediately report allegations to 

squadron commander.

 Withheld initial disposition authority.

 Initial disposition authority for all alleged violations of Articles 120, 120a, 120b, 

120c, and 125, Uniformed Code of Military Justice, not otherwise withheld under 

the Secretary of Defense Withholding Memorandum, including any attempts to 

commit such offenses, is withheld to wing commanders (or equivalent) and group 

commanders (or equivalent) who report directly to a general court martial 

convening authority (direct-report group commanders), or higher.

 Commanders now immediately remove a military training instructor from the 

training environment when an allegation of sexual assault, sexual harassment, or 

an unprofessional relationship involving a trainee or student is received

 Established decertification/remedial training process for military training instructors

when such allegations are substantiated.

 Mandated 24/7 leadership presence that is monitored and tracked by 37th Training 

Wing and 737th Training Group senior leadership.

Twelve actions strengthened effectiveness, experience and professionalism of the 

Military Training Instructor Corps.
138

 Upgraded military training instructor selection process ensuring only the highest 

qualified non-commission officers are selected.

 Instituted Air Force-wide developmental special duty nominative process for military 

training instructors.

 Eligibility for military training instructor duty now restricted to experienced 

noncommissioned officers in grade of technical sergeant who are nominated by 

commanders with a sustained record of performance, and no record of misconduct 

or derogatory information.

 Additionally, Air Education and Training Command has eliminated approximately 

30% of the nominated candidates due to the stringent nature of ensuring the right 

selection.

 Interview required with waiver approval by the Basic Military Training group 

commander.

 Extensive pre-screening required for selection.

 Conducted thorough manning assessment leading to fills of all authorized positions, 

96% (535/559) will be filled as of January 15, 2015 (Estimated completion date: 

June 2015).

 Ensured appropriate military training instructor/training/gender ratio by assigning 

two military training instructors per flight and ensured one in four military training

KEY SUSTAINMENT MEASURES

Air Education and Training Command utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data 

collection and analysis methods, including the Department of Defense’s only anonymous 

end of course survey on the network, randomized surveys throughout the period of 

instruction, and initiatives implemented from the commander directed investigation in 

order to evaluate the effectiveness of the command’s initiatives. Air Education and 

Training Command assesses its metrics quarterly via a quarterly presentation to the 

commander and provides comments in the Department of Defense’s Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Office’s Annual Report on Sexual Assault. The council 

identified several key near term, intermediary and long term measures of effectiveness to 

assess the Recruiting, Education and Training Oversight Council’s efforts. These metrics 

emerge from a variety of physical and electronic data sources including surveys, focus 

groups, alleged misconduct reports and inspections.

Most notably, Air Education and Training Command’s partnership with the RAND 

Corporation developed an integrated survey system to address abuse and misconduct 

toward trainees in the Basic Military Training environment. The trainee survey provides

data to help leaders understand what actions to take to reduce abuse and misconduct and 

to improve its response when incidents do happen. The Basic Military Training trainee 

survey provides a framework for assessing the prevalence and reporting of abuse and 

misconduct associated with trainee bullying, maltreatment and mal-training by military 

training instructors, unprofessional relationships with military training instructors, and 

sexual harassment and unwanted sexual experiences perpetrated by anyone at Basic 

Military Training.

Air Education and Training Command has made great strides toward increasing its 

monitoring of the Basic Military Training environment and implementing reforms to 

improve its ability to inspire, dissuade, deter, detect, and hold accountable those 

responsible for abuse and misconduct. The survey system developed by RAND provides 

a way for trainees and military training instructors to report abuse and misconduct toward 

trainees confidentially and without the fear of embarrassment or reprisal. It makes a 

unique contribution to the leadership feedback system that grows as data are

accumulated. By institutionalizing this survey, the command has ensured that leaders will 

be alerted in a timely manner to abuse and misconduct long after the subject has 

disappeared from the headlines. 

Engagement and involvement by leaders at each echelon of the command remains critical 

to avoid the development of divergent communities conducive to systemic issues of 

trainee abuse. While Air Education and Training Command has no intention to declare 

victory, we believe the foundation for our long-term campaign to provide safe, secure, and 

effective training has been well-established.

United States Air Force Fiscal Year 2014 Report on Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response: Statistical Analysis

1. Analytic Discussion

All fiscal year 2014 data provided in this analytic discussion tabulation are based upon 

data available in the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database as of 1 February 2015. 

The numbers of restricted and unrestricted reports made to the Air Force for fiscal years 

2008 through 2014 are shown in Chart 1.1. NOTE: There were 932 unrestricted 

reports made in fiscal year 2014. Additionally, there were 12 conversions from 

restricted to unrestricted for reports made prior to fiscal year 2014.

Chart 1.1 – Annual Reports of Sexual Assault

The number of reports made (both restricted and unrestricted) started increasing 

noticeably in fiscal year 2012. The percentage increase from fiscal year 2012 to 2014 is 

64%. Of further note is the decreased proportion of restricted reporting. The 

percentage of total reports that are restricted for fiscal year 2014 is 30%. Although the 

Air Force fully supports the restricted reporting option, this proportional decrease in 

restricted reporting may indicate increased confidence in the military justice system and 

the overall Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program.

The Air Force believes that the increase in reporting is an indication that a larger 

percentage of victims are coming forward to receive victim care and to report the crime

so that an investigation can take place and commanders can hold assailants 

appropriately accountable. 

The most effective way to understand the actual prevalence of this crime is through 

surveys because it is so underreported. The past Workplace and Gender Relations 

Surveys and the fiscal year 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study provides a basis for 

making an estimate of the number of unwanted sexual contact incidents experienced by 

active duty Airmen in the year prior to the survey. Chart 1.2 shows the total number of 

reports represented as a bar graph under the estimated prevalence of the crime based 

on reporting rates for unwanted sexual contact made on the surveys taken in the same 

year as the reports for active duty Air Force personnel (Air National Guard and Reserve 

data were not yet available for fiscal year 2014). The figure below reflects a gap in the 

estimated crime prevalence and victim reporting practices.

Chart 1.2 – Prevalence vs. Reporting of Sexual Assault

On the 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey 3.1% of Active Duty Air Force 

women and 0.5% of Active Duty Air Force men reported experiencing unwanted sexual 

contact. In the 2014 RAND Workplace Study, 2.28% of Active Duty Air Force women 

and 0.43% of Active Duty Air Force men reported experiencing unwanted sexual 

contact. Therefore, based on those reporting rates, the estimated total number of 

Airmen reporting that they experienced unwanted sexual contact decreased from

approximately 3,200 based upon the fiscal year 2012 Workplace Gender Relations 

Survey to 2,400 based upon the fiscal year 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study

Survey. This decrease may indicate positive progress for the prevention of sexual 

assault within the Air Force. The Air Force will monitor follow-on data to confirm the

trend and will continue to stress all aspects of the sexual assault prevention campaign.

On the fiscal year 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study Survey some respondents 

were asked questions that more closely relate to the criminal elements of sexual assault

as defined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Based upon those questions first 

presented in fiscal year 2014, 2.9% of Active Duty Air Force women and 0.29% of 

Active Duty Air Force men reported experiencing sexual assault in the past year. 

Detailed analysis regarding data on various parts of the Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program are presented in the following sections.

2. Unrestricted Reporting 

2.1 Victim Data Discussion and Analysis

This section summarizes statistical data specific to sexual assault victims associated 

with investigations that completed in the given fiscal year. For example, the number of 

fiscal year 2014 victims are those associated with fiscal year 2014 reports whose 

investigations concluded before the end of the year combined with those associated 

with investigations from previous fiscal years which concluded during fiscal year 2014. 

The number of investigations completed and the break out by type of offense are shown 

in Table 2.1.1. 

Table 2.1.1 – Type of Sexual Assault Offenses for Unrestricted Reports

From fiscal year 2012 to 2014, the percentage of reports associated with penetrating 

offenses decreased from 63.3% to 49.8%, while the percentage of reports associated 

with non-penetrating offenses increased. This shift in reporting may indicate that 

victims are coming forward to report sexual assaults earlier in the continuum of harm. 

A demographic breakout of victims in completed investigations is provided in Table 

2.1.2.

Table 2.1.2 – Victim Demographics for Unrestricted Reports

Women consistently represent a disproportionate majority of victims making unrestricted 

reports of sexual assault. While male victims are still the minority, there may be a slow 

increase occurring in the proportion of reports coming from male victims since fiscal 

year 2012. If this trend continues and becomes more pronounced it may suggest that 

the social barriers for reporting among male victims are beginning to come down. It is a 

trend that will be monitored. The increase in overall unrestricted reporting among 

military members is primarily from the active duty component, which grew from 83.9% to 

95.7%. The majority of Air Force victims are disproportionately enlisted members, 

making up roughly 87% - 93%, while the enlisted corps represented approximately 80%

of the total force during fiscal years 2012 through 2014. 

Victim data for completed investigations occurring in combat areas of interest are 

summarized in Table 2.1.3.

During fiscal year 2013, in the combat areas of interest there was a spike in male victim 

reporting, accounting for 30% of unrestricted reports. However, there are too few 

unrestricted reports in this population to make any statistically relevant observations.

A summary of military protective orders is provided in Table 2.1.4.

Table 2.1.4 - Military Protective Orders for Unrestricted Reports

Prior to fiscal year 2014 there was not a consistent mechanism for capturing the number 

of military protective orders issued and/or violated. Therefore, the values in Table 2.1.4 

represent the best data available at the time; however it may not reflect the actual 

numbers of military protective orders issued and/or violated in those years.

A summary of expedited transfers is provided in Table 2.1.5.

Table 2.1.5 - Expedited Transfers for Unrestricted Reports

The number of expedited transfer requests grew 195% from fiscal year 2012 to 2013 

and remained stable through 2014. In fiscal year 2014 there were a total of 8 requests 

that were denied. The reasons for these denials are summarized below:

 In three cases, it was determined that the health services available at the local

installation were best suited to care for the victim.

 In four cases, the victim was facing a medical evaluation board with the potential 

for separation.

 In one case, the victim was also a subject in a separate sexual assault case.

10.7%.

2.2. Subject Data Discussion and Analysis 

This section summarized statistical data specific to the subjects (i.e. assailants) of 

sexual assault for those cases where investigations occurred. NOTE: The number of 

subjects is based on the number associated with investigations that completed in the 

given fiscal year. For example, the number of fiscal year 2013 subjects are those 

associated with fiscal year 2013 reports whose investigations concluded before the end 

of the year combined with those associated with investigations from previous fiscal 

years which concluded during fiscal year 2013. Therefore, the number of subjects will 

not necessarily match the number of cases reported during a given year. The 

demographic breakout of subjects in completed investigations is summarized in Table 

2.2.1. 

Table 2.2.1 – Subject Demographics for Unrestricted Reports

The majority of subjects were male. During the reporting period, the percentage of 

military subjects coming from the active duty component grew from 89.4% to 93.2%.

Subjects of cases investigated based upon unrestricted reports of sexual assault 

disproportionately come from the enlisted ranks during the reporting period. Enlisted 

representation rose from 87.6% in fiscal year 2012 to 88.6% in fiscal year 2014 while 

enlisted personnel represented roughly 80% of the total force between fiscal years 2012 

and 2014.

Subject dispositions for unrestricted reports made in combat areas of interest show that 

a smaller percentage of subjects faced courts-martial. However, the small number of

2.3. Reporting Data Discussion and Analysis

This section summarizes descriptive information surrounding the incidents involved in

ALL unrestricted reports made within each given fiscal year. NOTE: In some cases 

where investigations have not yet occurred the incident details are based upon the 

report provided by the victim. Descriptive information about all unrestricted reports is 

summarized in Table 2.3.1. 

Table 2.3.1 – Incident Details for Unrestricted Reports

The majority of reported incidents occur between 6PM-6AM. The proportion of assaults 

reported to have occurred on a weekday increased from 29.8% in fiscal year 2012 to 

53.6% in fiscal year 2014. This may coincide with the shift in the types of assaults 

being reported from penetrating to non-penetrating types of crime.

Descriptive information about unrestricted reports in combat areas of interest is 

summarized in Table 2.3.2.

Table 2.3.2 – Incident Details for Unrestricted Reports in Combat Areas of Interest

Of the unrestricted reports made in combat areas of interest a notable difference from 

the larger population is in incident location. In combat areas of interest, a larger 

proportion of sexual assaults occur on-base (between 70%-100% in the combat areas 

of interest vs. 46%-50% for the full population of unrestricted reports). This is not 

surprising since the amount of time spent off the military installation is limited.

3. Restricted Reporting 

3.1. Victim Data Discussion

This section summarizes statistical data specific to the victims of sexual assault who 

made restricted reports. NOTE: Since there are no investigations with restricted 

reports, the numbers of victims associated with a given fiscal year are based on the 

number of reports made in that year. The demographic breakout of victims in restricted 

reports is summarized in Table 3.1.1. 

Table 3.1.1 – Victim Demographics for Restricted Reports

As with unrestricted reports, women disproportionately compose the majority of victims 

making restricted reports. Of military victims making restricted reports, the active duty 

component make up the majority, accounting for a rising 81.6% - 90.4% of reports. 

A summary of victims in restricted reports occurring in combat areas of interest is 

provided in Table 3.1.2.

Due to the small number of victims, statistically relevant conclusions cannot be made.

3.2. Reporting Data Discussion 

This section summarizes descriptive information surrounding the incidents involved in 

restricted reports. NOTE: The numbers associated with incident details are based on 

the report given by the victim. Therefore, the totals match the number of restricted 

reports made for each fiscal year. Descriptive information about restricted reports is 

summarized in Table 3.2.1. 

Table 3.2.1 – Incident Details for Restricted Reports

The incident details show that a larger percentage of victims make restricted reports 

compared to unrestricted reports when the incident occurred prior to military service

(between 16.5%-25% for restricted reports vs. 0.8%-2.4% for unrestricted reports from 

table 2.3.1). This may also explain the increased percentage of reports being made 

more than one year after the incident (22.3%-30.3% for restricted reports vs. 11.8%-

20.6% for unrestricted reports from table 2.3.1). NOTE: the large number of “unknown” 

values for reporting delay associated with restricted reports may accentuate this 

difference.

summarized in Table 3.2.2.

Table 3.2.2 – Incident Details for Restricted Reports in Combat Areas of Interest

As with unrestricted reports, experiences in combat areas of interest show that the 

majority of incidents occurred on-base, which is a notable difference from the larger 

population. However, the population of victims is too small to draw conclusive statistical 

inferences.

The number of restricted reports that were converted to unrestricted reports are 

summarized in Table 3.2.3.

Table 3.2.3 – Conversions of Restricted Reports

From fiscal year 2012 to 2014 the percentage of reports that are initiated as restricted 

reports out of the total number of reports decreased from 48.4% to 37.7%. In addition, 

the percentage of converted cases out of initially restricted has increased slightly from

14.5% to 19.6%. This results in the ratio of restricted to unrestricted reports decreasing 

over the reporting period as seen in Chart 1.1. These results may be indicative of

4. Service Referrals for Victims of Sexual Assault 

This section summarizes data specific to the number and type of referrals given by the 

Sexual Assault Response Coordinator to the victims of sexual assault. It gives data for: 

1) victims in unrestricted reports; 2) victims in restricted reports; and 3) non-military 

victims. NOTE: A change in counting methods occurred in fiscal year 2014. Prior to 

this year, every time a victim received a referral for services, the tally for that particular 

service type was increased. However, starting in fiscal year 2014, the tally was based 

simply on whether or not a victim received a certain type of referral. For example, if a 

victim received 5 referrals to see a mental health provider, it would have counted as 5 

referrals in fiscal year 2013 but only as 1 referral in fiscal year 2014. For this reason, the 

percentages may be somewhat skewed in the following analysis. 

Table 4.1 – Service Referrals for Unrestricted Reports

The most prevalent service referrals for unrestricted reports during fiscal years 2012 –

2014 were mental health (22%-48%), medical (9% - 22%), victim advocate (4% - 25%), 

and legal (17% - 21%). The number of service referrals for unrestricted reports are 

summarized in Table 4.1. 

Table 4.2 Service Referrals for Unrestricted Reports in Combat Areas of Interest

The most prevalent service referrals for unrestricted reports in combat areas of interest 

during fiscal year 2012 - 2014 were mental health (18% - 57%), medical (3% - 36%),

This section summarizes data associated with the timeline involved in the military justice 

process. Chart 5.1 shows the time from when a victim makes an unrestricted report (i.e. 

signs the DD 2910) to the completion of the courts-martial process, sentence or 

acquittal. NOTE: This measure was first developed in fiscal year 2014 so there is no 

trend data available to assess. Of the cases that went to courts-martial, the average 

was 221 days and the median was 247 days from report to court outcome.

Attachment One: Dispositions of Sexual Assault Cases in the Air Force

Pursuant to Section 551 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, 

the following additional information is provided regarding the disposition of sexual 

assault cases in the Air Force.

45 sexual assault cases resulted in conviction. The following table sets forth the most 

serious charge preferred and the most serious charge for which the perpetrator was 

convicted. In 60% of the cases the subject was convicted of the most serious charge 

preferred. In 19% of cases the subject was convicted of a different sexual assault 

offense or attempt of a sexual offense. In 21% the subject was convicted of a 

nonsexual offense. 35 subjects were acquitted of all charges. In 45 cases charges 

were dismissed or a request to resign in lieu of court-martial was granted. Below is a 

chart detailing the reasons for dismissal or acceptance of the resignation in lieu of courtmartial.

Non-judicial Punishment and Administrative Action: 34 subjects received nonjudicial punishment. All non-judicial punishment actions were for non-penetration 

offenses. In all cases the offenses consisted of touching of the victim through clothing. 

Offenses include actions such as touching the buttocks, grabbing the victim’s breast 

over their shirt, and kissing victim without consent.

In 19 cases other adverse actions were taken. In 15 cases a Letter of Reprimand was 

issued. In one case a Letter of Admonishment was issued. In two cases a Letter of 

Counseling was given. In 14 of the cases there was unwanted contact through the 

clothing, such a smack on the buttocks, hug or kiss on the cheek. In three of the cases 

the victim declined to participate in the military justice process. In the final two cases

the evidence was not sufficient to proceed to non-judicial punishment or court-martial,

but inappropriate conduct by the subject justified administrative action.

Notes: Victim stated that she was hanging out with a few 

friends, to include subject, in her dorm room and they were 

consuming alcohol. As people began to leave the party, victim 

asked subject to stay because one of the people at the party 

made her nervous. Victim stated she was extremely intoxicated, 

but recalls subject leading her into the bathroom and removing 

her pants. She remembered subject inserting his penis into her 

vagina, but then blacked out and can''t recall anything further. 

After receiving the report of investigation and consulting with 

the Staff Judge Advocate, the commander preferred a charge 

of sexual assault. Subject submitted a request for an 

administrative discharge in lieu of trial by court-martial. Victim 

supported the request. Subject was discharged with an under

subject had sex with her. In an interview with AFOSI, the 

Victim stated she was laying down in a bed at the party, after 

consuming alcohol and prescription medication, and subject 

penetrated her vagina with his penis. She stated she allowed it 

to happen and at the time did not feel she was raped. She 

stated she and subject had engaged in consensual sexual 

intercourse earlier that day. Victim stated she later felt she was 

incapable of consent based on her level of intoxication. Victim 

did not cooperate with the investigation or prosecution. After 

receiving the report of investigation and consulting with the 

Staff Judge Advocate, the commander offered the subject 

nonjudicial punishment for making a false official statement ie 

denying that he and the Victim were having a sexual 

relationship when they were.

Notes: In a rebuttal to nonjudicial punishment for an unrelated 

offense, victim alleged subject treated her like "prey" while she 

was in technical school. She alleged subject asked her for oral 

sex, pushed himself up against her, pulled his penis out of his 

pants and asked victim for oral sex. Victim agreed to have sex 

with subject in return for his promise to leave her alone 

afterward. After receiving the report of investigation and 

consulting the Staff Judge Advocate, the commander preferred 

charges of adultery and engaging in an unprofessional 

relationship against subject. Based on victim''s unwillingness to 

participate in the prosecution, the commander dismissed 

charges and instead offered subject nonjudicial punishment for 

engaging in an unprofessional relationship.

Both Victim and 

Subject

Notes: Victim reported to local law enforcement that earlier that 

same day, subject sexually assaulted her in a bathroom during 

a party at an off-base residence where both victim and subject 

lived. After investigating, local law enforcement closed the case 

as unfounded due to a lack of evidence that the sexual acts 

that occurred between victim and subject were non-consensual. 

Victim repeatedly stated that she engaged in the sexual acts 

with subject because she was afraid that if she did not 

participate, he might lie and tell someone that they had sex 

anyway, and that because subject was intoxicated, she would 

then be accused of sexual assault. Victim stated that this fear 

stemmed from her Air Force sexual assault prevention and 

response training, wherein she was told that having sex with 

someone who is intoxicated is a sexual assault. Victim 

confirmed that subject did not threaten her and that she was 

not afraid of subject or afraid that he would harm her if she 

refused. Victim also stated that she did not communicate her 

concerns with subject. Indeed, victim confirmed that subject 

asked victim to engage in various sexual acts and he complied 

with her responses. After receiving the report of investigation 

and consulting with the staff judge advocate, the commander 

decided not to prefer charges. The commander''s superior 

commander disagreed with the decision, and preferred charges 

against subject. The staff judge advocate reviewed all the 

evidence and provided a formal, written opinion to the 

convening authority, recommending dismissal of the charges. 

The convening authority concurred with the staff judge 

advocate''s recommendation and dismissed the charges. 

Subsequent to the dismissal of the charges, the group 

commander offered subject a Letter of Reprimand for 

unprofessional conduct related to the events which occurred on 

the night in question.

FY14 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military Executive Summary: 

National Guard Bureau (NGB)

Members of the National Guard (NG) fight side-by-side in combat with the active 

Services; the same is true in the fight to combat sexual assault. The Chief of the 

National Guard Bureau (CNGB), as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is tasked 

with similar responsibilities as the Service Chiefs for program development and 

implementation. In addition to executing Federal policies and directives mandated by 

Headquarters, Department of Army (HQDA) and United State Air Force (USAF) for 

Title 10 (T10) Guardsmen, the NG incorporated the Services’ guidance concurrently 

into its own Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program for members in 

Title 32 (T32) status.

The NG has executed a stand-alone SAPR program since 2005; the only Reserve 

Component (RC) to do so. Each of the fifty states, three territories, and the District of 

Columbia (DC) (hereinafter referred to as the “states”) operates a T32 SAPR program 

under the authority of the governor or the mayor of DC and The Adjutant General 

(TAG) or the commanding general (CG) of DC (hereinafter referred to as “TAGs”). The 

TAG serves as the CG of the Army and Air NG units within his or her own state. 

The CNGB, in coordination with Department of Defense (DoD) SAPR Office (SAPRO) 

and TAGs, established and implemented the following SAPR policies and procedures 

for T32 Guard members:

 CNGB Instruction 0400.01, 30 July 2012, and CNGB Manual 0400.01, 08 

November 2012, “Chief, National Guard Bureau Office of Complex Administrative 

Investigations” (Interim Revision CNGBN 0400, 16 April 2014)

 CNGB Memorandum, 19 November 2013, “National Guard Command Climate 

Assessment Policy” 

 CNGB Memorandum, 27 November 2013, “Implementation of the Joint National 

Guard Special Victims’ Counsel (NGSVC) Program

 CNGB Instruction 6400.01, 14 November 2013, “Use of Defense Sexual 

Assault Incident Database (DSAID)”

 CNGB Notice 0401, 24 April 2014, “National Guard Implementation of Defense 

Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program” 

 CNGB Notice 1004, 08 July 2014, “2013 Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response (SAPR) Strategic Plan” 

 CNGB Instruction 1303.01A, 06 August 2014, “Expedited Transfer, 

Reassignment, or Removal of National Guard Members Due to an Unrestricted 

Report of Sexual Assault” 
2

 CNGB Information Memorandum, 02 September 2014, “National Guard 

Implementation of 2014-2016 Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy”

Policies and procedures currently being staffed include CNGB Instruction, “Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Program,” and CNGB Notice, “National Guard 

Implementation of Sexual Assault Incident Response Oversight Report.” Additionally, 

the Army National Guard (ARNG) and Air National Guard (ANG) adhere to their 

respective Service requirements when applicable to T32 duty status. Other factors 

which have an effect on factions of the NG SAPR program include the state Code of 

Military Justice (CMJ) and civilian law enforcement (CLE).

The CNGB’s SAPR Office falls within the Manpower and Personnel Directorate, J1, NG

Joint Staff and is led by the NG-J1-SAPR Chief, who serves as the principle SAPR 

program advisor to the CNGB, NG-J1 Director, DoD SAPRO, and key leaders on all 

SAPR related issues. The office consists of nine personnel (two military, three civilian, 

and four contractors) and is divided into four functional areas: Strategy and Policy; 

Prevention and Outreach; Data Collection and System Management; and, 

Accountability and Assessment. Although a Judge Advocate (JA) is not assigned to 

the SAPR Office, a strong association exists with the Office of the Chief Counsel 

(NGB-JA) on matters involving the Office of Complex Administrative Investigations 

(NGB-JA/OCI) and the Special Victims Counsel (NGB-JA/SVC) program.

The ARNG Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) and ANG 

SAPR programs reside within the Human Resource Directorate (ARNG-G1) and 

Manpower, Personnel and Services (NGB/A1), respectively. The ARNG SHARP office 

consists of seven personnel who include: five military personnel, the SHARP Section

and Assistant Section Chiefs, SHARP Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC), 

and two SHARP Instructors; and, two contractor personnel employed as the Incident 

Coordinator and SHARP Program Analyst. The ANG SAPR office consists of five 

personnel: a Branch Chief/program manager (PM); and, four military personnel to 

include Training Manager, Management Analyst, Incident Coordinator, and Analyst 

NCOIC. 

At each Joint Force Headquarters-State (JFHQ-State), there is a full-time (FT) Sexual 

Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), who serves as the state SAPR PM and is 

responsible for reporting all ARNG and ANG sexual assault reports within the state to 

TAG. Each state is authorized a FT JFHQ-State Victim Advocate Coordinator (VAC). 

These positions fulfill the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Fiscal Year (FY) 

2012 requirement for the assignment of at least one FT SARC and FT SAPR Victim 

Advocate (VA) at the brigade or equivalent unit level as applicable to the National 

Guard structure with TAG as the Senior Commander. A collateral duty SARC and two 

SAPR VAs are located at each ARNG brigade and battalion level command

respectively. At each wing, the ANG maintains a FT technician, whose position 

description includes SARC duties. This Wing SARC reports to the Wing or Vice Wing 

Commander and is supported by a minimum of two volunteer SAPR VAs. 
3

When placed on T10 duty status for over 30 days, SAPR program implementation and 

management is assumed by the Active Component (AC). If the JFHQ-State SARC 

deploys, the state may hire a temporary technician, or utilize the JFHQ-State VAC to 

backfill the position until the SARC returns. 

In order to provide the services, support, and resources necessary to meet the needs 

of the sexual assault victim, the NG SAPR Program collaborates with various 

organizations within and outside the Guard. In addition to NGB-JA, NGB-JA/OCI and 

NGB-JA/SVC, as mentioned previously, other partners in this effort include NG Family 

Programs, Office of Equal Opportunity, Director of Psychological Health and Well 

Being (DPH), Joint Surgeon, Joint Chaplain, and Public Affairs, along with their internal 

functional areas. By leveraging the Guard’s unique position as a community-based 

organization, relationships are also forged at the state and local levels to assist in 

helping the victim as well as advancing the mission to educate, heighten awareness, 

and empower individuals to take action.

1. Line of Effort (LOE) 1—Prevention—The objective of prevention is to “deliver 

consistent and effective prevention methods and programs.”

1.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Prevention Endstate: “cultural 

imperatives of mutual respect and trust, professional values, and team 

commitment are reinforced to create an environment where sexual assault or 

sexual harassment is not tolerated, condoned, or ignored.” 

Major initiatives at multiple levels were implemented within the NG during FY14 in 

support of the prevention line of effort. The emphasis on sexual assault prevention and 

awareness within the NG is both top-down and bottom-up driven, and has been since 

the inception of the NG SAPR program. The NG fully supports the premise that 

education and training are essential factors in the prevention of sexual assault and 

endeavor to: 

 Enhance awareness of the unit cohesiveness damage and victim trauma 

caused by sexual assault.

 Maximize prevention efforts to reduce and eliminate incidents of sexual assault. 

 Train Guard members to use safe bystander intervention techniques (BIT) to 

help prevent offenders from committing assaults. 

 Hold those who commit sexual assault appropriately accountable for their crime

as a preventative measure to deter others from offending.

To meet program goals, the NG focused efforts on both unit and leader prevention 

training, first responder (SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, and SAPR VA) training, T32 specific 

curriculum review, and establishing coalitions and networks with the Services, and 

civilian agencies and organizations. Some of the most significant enhancements made 
4

as a result of these efforts are described below:

 Regularly scheduled Senior Leader engagements integrated SAPR 

presentations and discussions into the agenda. These engagements included

Guard Senior Leadership Conferences (GLSCs), Guard Senior Leader Updates 

(GSLUs), and Senior Enlisted Leader Forums. 

These forums offered a venue for NG senior leaders to engage each other on ideas 

to address the unique SAPR program implementation challenges that face NG 

members in a T32 status. They also reinforced senior leaders’ responsibility for 

creating a command climate of dignity and respect and to establish and sustain an 

environment where victims feel empowered to report sexual assaults. During the 

past year, other benefits gleaned from the conferences and updates included:

o Receiving National-level best practices on sexual assault prevention and 

intervention methods from DoD and non-DoD subject matter experts (SMEs) to 

decrease incidents of sexual assault.

o A forum to discuss strategies to meet the goals and training requirements 

for the ARNG and ANG. 

o Identifying opportunities to promote SAPR social marketing and media 

initiatives, and community education. 

o Information on how to foster prevention-related coalitions and networks 

resulting in memorandums of agreement (MOAs) and memorandums of 

understanding (MOUs) for interaction, resources, and response capabilities in 

an attempt to cover all regions within the states. 

o Stimulating state senior leaders to conduct their own senior leader and 

commander engagements. 

Aside from the CNGB policies, procedures and plans published, the NG’s greatest 

assets in the prevention of sexual assault are the SAPR personnel, commanders, 

senior leaders, and enlisted members who reside within the states. The training, 

training support, activities, and events initiated and sustained by SAPR personnel 

within the states play a tremendous role in helping to establish a positive environment

that discourages an offender from attempting to commit a sexual assault. The end 

state is focused efforts at multiple levels to prevent sexual assault. These efforts 

included, but were not limited to, active bystander intervention to help avert potential 

sexual assaults; Guard members willing to engage in discussions on the effects a 

sexual assault may have on the individual, family, friends and coworkers; and, 

commands developing and implementing measures to identify and remedy 

environmental factors that may facilitate an act of sexual assault, and to eliminate high 

risk behaviors.
5

While a greater emphasis is placed on the development of primary prevention methods 

and initiatives as part of the overall NG strategy to align with DoD’s Prevention 

Initiatives, NG’s current efforts to achieve the prevention end state focus on training 

and awareness campaigns, such as activities conducted during the 2014 Sexual 

Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Many of these efforts are identified below: 

 Training

o NGB T32-specific Initial SARC and SAPR VA training provided for newly 

assigned SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs and SAPR VAs contains a segment on 

Male Victimization cited by DoD SAPRO as a DoD best practice. 

o The NGB T32-specific Initial SARC and SAPR VA training also includes a 

training block that is specific to understanding the differences between 

traditional risk reduction methods of sexual assault prevention and bystander 

intervention methods. Although risk reduction methods encourage at risk 

populations to be aware of potential situations that may be perceived as 

dangerous, the emphasis for command responsibility for reducing 

environmental and climate risk must be the primary focus of any risk reduction 

methods taught. 

o Rather than relying on state SAPR Staff to conduct annual refresher 

training, senior leadership facilitated the training using small group instruction 

and open discussion based training. Emphasis was placed on commander led 

sexual assault prevention training, while using the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, 

and SAPR VAs as SMEs.

o Individual states have developed innovative approaches to training.

 The Alaska (AK) JFHQ-State SARC adapted a child’s game to help 

SAPR training in the state become lively educational events with willing 

audience participation. During the training, the SARC asked the attendees 

to write down on a sheet of paper, “How sexual assault has impacted their 

lives.” They were asked to scrunch the paper into a ball and toss it

randomly around the room. One by one, these balls of paper were opened 

and read by the person closest to it. As these personal, anonymous 

writings were shared, a change in the atmosphere occurred and the 

participants were more willing to discuss and express empathy about the 

impacts of sexual assault on people’s lives. This training approach helped 

create a level of comfort that encouraged participants, who otherwise would 

have remained silent during the class, to engage in a discussion about 

sexual assault. 

 The Colorado (CO) JFHQ State SARC and state SAPR Staff partnered 

with the CO Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) and conducted a 

two-day course, “Strengthening Military/Civilian Partnerships” for more than 
6

12 CO community organizations committed to responding to elements of 

sexual assault. This training helped to prepare the SAPR VAs to respond 

effectively to many possible situations that they may face in helping victims. 

 The Ohio (OH) ARNG, Assistant Adjutant General (AAG), took 

additional steps make certain adequate sexual assault response capability 

was available, by increasing the number of deployable SHARP personnel to 

three times the state’s requirement. Additionally, the state developed an 

aggressive state-specific leadership training curriculum to better inform 

leadership at each echelon. The result was the “OHARNG Sexual Assault 

Prevention and Response Two-Day Leader Course.” The instructors are a 

mix of civilian and military sexual assault prevention and response experts, 

senior leadership, former company commanders, JA general officers, and 

sexual harassment and sexual assault survivors. The training is interactive, 

video and scenario-based, and structured to facilitate discussion rather than 

dictate and download policy.

 In direct support of the Iowa (IA) TAG Campaign Plan, “Care for 

Soldiers, Families and Survivors,” the JFHQ-State SARC developed a 

Sexual Assault Training and Prevention program. The program includes

policies on Officer and Non-Commissioned Officer Evaluation Reports, a 

“position of special trust” screening process, state sexual assault standard 

operating procedures (SOP), and policy tracker that provide IA ARNG 

leadership with an operational picture of the evolving enforcement 

strategies within the DoD, NGB, and IANG. This program is a collaborative 

effort by a Prevention Team of practitioners from the Equal Opportunity 

(EO) and Substance Abuse Offices.

 The newly hired Massachusetts (MA) JFHQ-State VAC made 

significant improvements in the area of awareness. The MA SAPR website 

was established, a SAPR distribution email, and SAPR logo was created. 

An awareness prevention training, “In Her Words,” was provided for all E-7 

and above to help create the sense of urgency for prevention of sexual 

assault and to increase risk identification and mitigation. Nationally 

recognized SMEs were invited to speak at the base on sexual assault. 

 Awareness

o Public Service Announcements (PSAs). In FY14, more than 15 PSAs were 

produced and released in an effort to raise the awareness of sexual assault and 

availability of the DoD Safe Helpline and SafeRoom website. Below are some 

of the organizations who participated in this endeavor:

Safe Helpline Chat Room and Safe Helpline resources in three issues

o NGB and State SAAM Initiatives. To show solidarity in the goal to eliminate 

sexual assault within the Guard, the NGB memorandum declaring April as 

SAAM was signed by the CNGB, and Directors of the ARNG and ANG. The 

ARNG-G1 SHARP and NGB/A1 SAPR programs also held initiatives specific to 

their component to support SAAM. SAPR personnel at the unit and wing level 

within the states designed activities and special events to raise awareness and 

promote the prevention of sexual violence. To list all supporting events would 

be too exhaustive. However, events routinely supported by all states include: 

International Denim Day; Clothing Drives, (in many states, the clothing and 

toiletry items are donated to the Rape Crisis Centers throughout the states); 

SAAM proclamation signing by the Governor; SAAM Awareness Banners 

(displayed at various locations, to include state Capital Buildings); “Walk a Mile 

in her Shoes;” and, 5K Race to Eliminate Sexual Violence.

o The Wisconsin (WI) NG SAPR Service Dog initiative was a new concept 

devised to help increase outreach, approachability and awareness and to bring 

attention to the SAPR program within the WING. Falcon, a black Labrador 

Retriever, trained as a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder service dog was placed 

on loan from Custom Canines Service Dog Academy (CCSDA), a nationally 

known 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. A MOA was established with CCSDA 

to provide a fully credentialed service dog to the WING full-time JFHQ-State 

VAC as his handler to support Guard members who were victims of sexual 

assault and their families. As good will ambassadors, Falcon and his handler 

helped raise awareness, promote outreach and served as advocates in support 

of victims of sexual assault. 

1.2 Describe your progress in enhancing and integrating SAPR Professional 

Military Education in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act 

(NDAA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 requirements. 

Members of the NG participate in their respective Service’s Professional Military 

Education (PME) and subsequently receive training consistent with the AC. 

Responding to the unique structure and requirements for Guard members on T32 duty 

status, NGB is developing T32 specific SAPR training modules as a supplement to the 

T10 SAPR PME. With completion scheduled in FY15, the objective is to offer this 

training at NG training facilities, and during other special events as required and 

requested. The design of the T32 specific SAPR PME modules will meet the core 

competencies and learning objectives as specified by the requirements of the NDAA. 

1.3 Describe your progress in implementing core competencies and learning 

objectives for all SAPR training to ensure consistency throughout the military. If 

already implemented, describe how you are monitoring and assessing 

outcomes. 
9

To make certain NG SAPR personnel obtain essential knowledge of the unique 

requirements and specific issues surrounding SAPR procedures for NG member on 

T32 duty, the NG T32-specific 40-hour Initial SARC and SAPR VA Training was 

developed and is updated regularly to keep abreast with issuance of new policies and 

procedures. This course was submitted to the National Advocate Credentialing 

Program and DoD SAPRO in FY12 for review to determine if the curriculum met precredentialing requirements. The training was approved and a process was established 

to begin credentialing approval effective in FY13. This course was recently reviewed 

and approved in May 2014 by DoD SAPRO for consistency and compliance with the 

DoD SAPR core competencies and learning objectives promulgated by the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness USD(P&R), and the training 

standards contained in DoD Instruction 6495.02. 

Outcome: This course was cited for its focus on the complexities and challenges in 

assisting SAPR personnel learn the nuances of executing their unique roles and 

responsibilities. A few of the specific benefits are listed below and reach across all 

LOEs.

o Better support to the victim of a sexual assault based on an understanding 

of resources available, and benefits for which victims are eligible based on the 

status of the Guard member at the time of incident. A thorough understanding 

of the importance of community outreach to provide additional resources and 

support to the victim. 

o Improved “marketing” of the NG SAPR program. With an understanding of 

the challenges of reaching NG members who perform duty just one weekend a 

month and 15 days of annual training, SARCs exercised different approaches to 

ensure messaging was distributed using numerous forms of media. 

o Improved investigative procedures with knowledge of the jurisdictional 

requirements based on the location in which the sexual assault occurred; the 

military or civilian status of the victim and subject; and, the duty status of the 

victim and subject at the time of the sexual assault. 

o Improved legal support for the victim of sexual assault during the 

investigation process, and judicial proceedings with the help of the Special 

Victims Counsel (SVC) specific to T32 NG members. 

This SARC and SAPR VA initial training program was offered on a quarterly basis at 

the Professional Education Center at Camp Robinson, Little Rock, Arkansas during 

FY14. The primary audience consisted of SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs and SAPR VAs. 

Trainers included staff members from the NG-J1-SAPR office, NGB-JA, selected 

SARCs from the states, and SMEs from various functional DoD and NGB 

organizations. After each day of training, the students assessed all aspects of the 

training conducted that day. Members of the NGB SAPR staff from the Joint, ARNG 
10

and ANG directorates are also present to assist in evaluating the training. The 

critiques and recommendations are used in the re-evaluation and modification, if

necessary, of the content, delivery, and overall execution of the training.

To meet the training requirements for SAPR VAs across the states, there were a 

number of options for Guard members. SARCs conducted the NG T32-specific 40-

hour Initial SARC and SAPR VA Training as needed at the local, state or regional level. 

Prospective SAPR VAs enrolled in their respective Service SAPR or SHARP training 

as available. These options ensured SAPR personnel received training consistent with 

their Service requirements and in compliance with the established core competencies 

and learning objectives.

To meet the unit level Service-specific SAPR training requirements as specified by 

HQDA and USAF, the ARNG and ANG within each state executed SAPR unit level 

training program consistent with TAG and Service direction.

 ANG-specific training during FY14 included, but was not limited to, the 

following:

o Annual SAPR training conducted in accordance with the USAF training 

plan.

o Using hand-picked facilitators to conduct the specially developed training 

plans and materials.

o Command Chief and Wing SARC personally spoke with airmen individually 

and in small groups to ask them SAPR related questions covered in training.

o Videotaped SAPR training. All unit commanders received a copy of their

training video; members who were not able to attend were required to view the 

training video. 

o Training rosters were recorded by the training Non-Commissioned Officers 

(NCOs) into a common location on SharePoint site and entered into the 

Advanced Distributed Learning System (ADLS) for accountability and data 

tracking.

o Unit level training tracking reports were listed as a metric for quarterly 

reports to CNGB, TAG, and NGB leadership via the NGB SAPR GKO 

Dashboard.

o Feedback was provided through numerous avenues: 

 Group facilitators were required to provide feedback on the status of 

small group sessions and the effectiveness of training along with any 

concerns or issues to include how the message was delivered. 
11

 Outcomes were constantly monitored and assessed by the SARC 

through continual discussions with wing members, supervisors and 

commanders.

o Monthly case management group (CMG) meetings presided by TAG, were 

held at JFHQ-State to monitor and assess case progress or concerns, and to 

assess training outcomes. 

o ANG Wing SARCs presented training objectives at their quarterly wing 

Integrated Delivery System working group and sought feedback on their 

compliance with DoD core competencies and learning objectives.

o States formulated a strategic SAPR plan. SARCs supported the plan by 

reviewing lesson plans to ensure the training was conducted using an 

interactive format (role play, discussion, and exercises) and would improve the 

audience’s knowledge base, impart a skill, and influence attitudes and 

behaviors. SARCs also ensured the curriculum included bystander 

intervention, victim empathy, consent, acceptable behavior, and healthy 

relationships. 

 ARNG-specific training during FY14 included, but was not limited to, the 

following:

o New JFHQ-State SARCs and VACs attended the 80-hour initial SHARP 

training in 2014, in addition to the Joint NG T32-specific 40-hour Initial SARC 

and SAPR VA Training

o New collateral duty SAPR VAs attended the 80-hour initial SHARP training 

and refresher training offered in various regional locations throughout the 

country. 

o Online T10 training was made available for continuing education for ARNG 

SAPR personnel.

o Conducted annual SHARP Refresher training for all soldiers and civilians in 

accordance with Army Regulation 350-1. This training incorporated the 

following:

 Bystander intervention as a standard method for primary prevention.

 Best practices and holistic approaches to prevention techniques.

1.4 Describe your progress in ensuring commanders receive training on sexual 

assault prevention and response during pre-command courses. 
12

NG officers designated for a command may take the Pre-command or Commander’s 

Course of their respective Service. SAPR training received in this course is currently 

consistent with program implementation within the AC. 

Some officers may take the Service-specific Commander’s Course, if their status as a 

traditional, part-time Guard member allows for more extensive course work. Currently, 

a T32 specific SAPR lesson is under development to ensure Guard Officers receive 

SAPR training on procedures and resources relevant to the T32 Guard member. 

In the interim, the state leadership and SARCs communicate expectations and 

procedures to foster a climate free of sexual assault. State EO personnel 

communicate procedures and guidance on addressing any type of discrimination, 

including sexual harassment response and prevention. Additionally, commanders are 

briefed by the SARC and provided with resource materials, policy guidance and SAPR 

Commander’s Checklist electronically, for future reference and referrals. One-on-one 

training is offered by the SARC for newly assigned commanders as part of their 

immersion training. New Commanders are encouraged to participate in any state or 

wing SAPR leadership course offered to further their awareness and understanding of 

the SAPR program. 

Some states formulated their unique strategic SAPR plans, which included the 

development of short (five minutes or less) SAPR related messages, and presentation

at formation on drill weekends. Other state specific endeavors included implementing

SAPR training programs for new commanders (such as a narrated video and slide 

presentation) accessible through web link. This training included test questions and 

certificates, which were loaded into the Digital Training Management System (DTMS).

1.5 Describe your progress in incorporating specific SAPR monitoring, 

measures, and education into readiness and safety forums (e.g., quarterly 

training guidance, unit status reports, safety briefings). 

Identified below is a list of activities to demonstrate the progress made by units within 

the NG in incorporating specific SAPR monitoring, measures, and education into 

readiness and safety forums.



 SAPR talking points were incorporated into unit events.

 ANG Recruiters received the Air Force’s revised training program Inspire, 

Dissuade, Detect, Deter, and Hold Accountable (ID3A), which emphasizes the 

service’s core values. Many of the ANG Recruiters also participated in local SAPR 

VA training to stay current on trends.

 Deploying personnel and those going on temporary duty (TDY) were required to

complete pre-deployment and TDY SAPR training.

 SARCs provided specific SAPR training to new recruits in the student flight and 
13

recruit sustainment programs on available resources, procedures for reporting a 

sexual assault, and whom to contact if there are safety concerns. 

 New commanders received a Commanders’ Guide to SAPR. This guide

includes a checklist to help reduce climate and environmental risks that may allow 

for increased sexual assault perpetration.

 Direct access to SAPR information on unit websites and educational materials

were readily available and offered to all members.

 Newly assigned members received SAPR information during in-processing and 

quarterly newcomer briefs.

 SAPR discussions, trainings and briefings were common and integrated into 

weekly, monthly, and quarterly meetings as appropriate.

 SARCs provided SAPR updates to Commanders on techniques and actions to 

increase safety, and reduce risk within their command. 

 CMG meetings were held at both the state and some wings to ensure 

continuum of care for NG victims.

 Some state SAPR programs instituted a risk analysis process, and developed a 

video that included messages on personal safety measures, personal wellness, 

SAPR, and resiliency. 

 Multiple wings held an ANG SAPR Commander’s Call during FY14 in 

conjunction with Safety Down Day.

 EO and SAPR programs used the “Continuum of Violence” model to illustrate 

how sexual violence may escalate from lesser to greater forms of sexual, such as 

sexual harassment to sexual exploitation to rape. 

 By expanding Brigade Combat team positions to include women, increased 

safety training was provided to those units gaining women in those roles. 

1.6 Describe your progress in exploring expansion of SAPR training to include 

Recruit Sustainment Programs, Student Flight Programs, and for National Guard 

prior to arrival at Basic Training. 



Within the NG, recruiters are included in all education and awareness programs and 

are encouraged to participate in the SAPR VA training or attend their recruiting-specific 

SAPR training. Each month, NG SARCs conduct SAPR training to newly assigned 

recruits at the Newcomers’ Orientation, and to recruits in Student Flights and the 

Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP). This training raised awareness and provided the 
14

definitions of sexual harassment and sexual assault, reporting options, prevention 

techniques, bystander intervention, victim assistance options, NG SAPR policy and 

their respective Service SAPR policy. All new recruits meet with their SARC and 

receive additional SAPR training prior to leaving for Basic Military Training (BMT).

1.7 Describe your efforts to establish and implement policies that prevent 

individuals convicted of a Federal or State offense of rape, sexual abuse, sexual 

assault, incest, or other sexual offenses, from being provided a waiver for 

commissioning or enlistment in the Armed Forces. 



Per FY14 NDAA, a person who has been convicted of a felony (Federal or State) may 

not be processed for commissioning or enlistment in the Armed Forces. This 

information was distributed to states by NGB-JA. The ARNG and ANG follow the AC 

Army and Air Force regulations that prohibit individuals convicted of a Federal or State 

sexual offense felony from enlisting or commissioning in the NG. Recruiters follow 

those policies that prohibit convicted offenders from becoming a member of the NG. 

The ANG recruiters adhere to ANG Instruction 36-2002, “Enlistment and Reenlistment 

In The Air National Guard and as a Reserve of the Air Force.” If convicted by civilian 

court of law for a felony or a Category 4 offense, potential recruits are ineligible to enlist 

in ANG. Waivers are not granted for these offenses. All enlistees are required to 

complete the NGB Form 3621, “ANG Eligibility Checklist for Enlistment, Reenlistment, 

or Extension.” All ANG applicants must provide a legal history in addition to the 

background check.

ARNG Recruiters follow established guidelines per AR 601-210, which do not allow 

convicted sex offenders from joining the unit. ARNG recruiters conduct police 

background checks using DD Form 369 “Police Record Check” to determine if an 

individual has been charged or convicted of any violations. Waivers are not granted for 

these offenses. 

1.8 Describe your progress in establishing a transition policy that ensures 

Service member sponsorship, unit integration, and immediate assignment into a 

chain of command. If already established, describe findings and 

recommendations.

The NG is often described as the “Guard Family.” Whether the individual is a brand 

new recruit, or a member who is transitioning from one unit to another, both the ARNG 

and ANG have specific measures in place to provide sponsorship and ensure new 

members are fully integrated into their unit and chain of command. These measures 

help reduce possible vulnerability from being new to a unit, and aid in establishing a 

secure and safe integration into the unit. 

Within the ANG, the Wing SARC briefs new recruits at Student Flight training as a way 

of introducing the SARC and the SAPR program. New ANG members are paired with 

a more senior individual within their gaining section to provide support and assist in 
15

increasing comfort in the new unit and answer questions. The ARNG unit readiness 

NCO assigns a sponsor for each new member entering the unit after completing initial 

entry training. The relationship is fostered from initial enlistment and continues through 

BMT and, in some cases, well into the member’s career. Meeting the unit’s chain of 

command is included as part of an In-Processing checklist for the new member for both 

the ARNG and ANG. Both programs are highly successful, allowing incoming 

members to be fully engaged with the unit prior to training and when transitioning back 

to the wing after completing BMT. Each new ANG member is required to attend SAPR 

training at newcomer’s briefing. The Newcomer’s briefings provide information on

where to find support, such as the DPH, SARC, Airmen and Family Readiness 

Program, and Chaplains. The briefings also provide a forum for personnel new to the 

installation, such as transfers, to ask questions and receive guidance.

1.9 Describe your progress in ensuring commanders conduct an organizational 

climate assessment within 120 days of assuming command and annually 

thereafter. Include policy for providing results to the next level in the chain of 

command. 



CNGB Notice, 08 July 2014, “2013 Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) 

Strategic Plan,” identified commanders, first line supervisors at all levels, and Equal 

Opportunity Practitioners (EOPs) as the offices of primary responsibility to develop, 

conduct and assess command climate surveys within 120 days of assuming command 

and annually thereafter. Further, CNGB Memorandum, “National Guard Command 

Climate Assessment Policy,” November 19, 2013, directs EOPs to provide the results 

and analysis of command climate assessments to the commander or leader requiring 

the assessment and the commander or leader at the next level in the chain of 

command within 30 days after receiving the assessment results.

CNGB Instruction, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program,” currently in 

staffing, establishes TAGs responsibility to verify that commanders conduct a 

command climate assessment within 120 days of assuming command. This instruction 

also establishes the policy for the results of the command climate survey to be 

provided to the next level in the chain of command.

 

 Within the National Guard the climate assessment program is managed by the 

component–specific military EO Officer. The organizational climate assessments 

are conducted by EO within 120 days of the new commander’s assumption of 

command. Providing results of the climate survey to the next level of command is 

handled slightly differently within the two components. 

 Within the ANG, areas identified as challenges for a functional organization in 

the Wing are given as action items to the Community Action Information Boards 

(CAIB). Incorporating the CAIB into the action plan to address the findings of the 

climate assessments has been beneficial in helping leadership address concerns.

The Wing SARC collaborates with EO when referring cases of Sexual Harassment 

complaints, per NG Regulation (NGR) 600-21, “Equal Opportunity Program in the 
16

Army National Guard”, and NGR 600-22, “National Guard Military Discrimination 

Complaint System.” The SARC receives SAPR data collected on completed 

climate assessments. 

 Within the ARNG, results of the survey are addressed in an action plan that 

helps leaders identify areas of concern within a unit. The JFHQ-State SARC and 

the State Equal Employment Manager work together to assess and address results 

of the ARNG climate surveys. 

Using the Command Climate Survey, some states’ SAPR personnel collaborated with 

numerous NG functional offices within their state to include Suicide Prevention 

Program Manager, Alcohol and Drug Coordinator Officer, DPH, Financial Management 

Awareness program, Resiliency Officer, Chaplain, Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) and 

command staff to develop a commander feedback process that included wrap-around 

services to Guard members in units identified as those with challenges. Additionally, 

services such as Strong Bonds, Strong Choices (a researched-based drug and alcohol 

prevention program), and customized training led by the SARC, were scheduled for the 

unit. A group of trained and specially selected NCOs and SMEs, "boots on the 

ground," conducted a “walk-through” on unit training assembly weekends to give Guard 

members the opportunity to speak to them and to receive assistance as needed.

1.10 Describe your progress in establishing a clear policy to reduce the impact of 

high-risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities to sexual assaults and other 

crimes against persons (e.g., alcohol consumption, barracks visitation, transition 

policy). Include efforts to collaborate with law enforcement, alcohol and 

substance abuse officers, and etc.

CNGB Notice, 08 July 2014, “2013 Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) 

Strategic Plan,” identified the commanders, and first line supervisors at all levels as the 

offices of primary responsibility to establish and implement policies to reduce the 

impact of risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities to sexual assault and other crimes 

against persons.

CNGB Instruction, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program,” currently in 

staffing establishes TAGs responsibility to hold commanders responsible for 

developing and implementing policy for mitigating high-risk behaviors, reducing 

personal vulnerabilities, and establishing a safe environment.



 TAGs are the senior commander within each state responsible for establishing 

policy to mitigate high-risk behaviors and personal vulnerabilities. Policies are 

posted on every bulletin board and online websites for each Service.

 Examples of additional efforts: Wing and Brigade commanders published 

alcohol policies regarding safe consumption of alcohol and zero tolerance on driving 

under the influence. ANG policies were supported by the Airman Against Drunk 

Driving and Wingman programs. SARCs collaboration with Force Protection 
17

Officers to determine areas of high-risk or off-limits areas in their community; and, 

additional member training opportunities through use of the Air Reserve Component 

Network (ARCNet) system.

 Guard members were also provided education from Strong Bonds, JFHQ-State

SARC, JFHQ-State VACs, Wing and Brigade SARCs, Victim Advocates, 

Commanders, and Supervisors on healthy relationships, mutual dignity and respect, 

and obtaining consent for sexual activity.

1.11 Describe your progress in implementing the 2014 Department of Defense 

Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy. 

In response to the 2014 DoD Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy, the CNGB 

Information Memorandum, 02 September 2014, “National Guard Implementation of 

2014-2016 Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy” was developed.

 

Outcome: The information memorandum identified the steps taken toward 

integration of accountability, community involvement, communication, deterrence, 

incentives, training, education, and harm reduction within the NG SA prevention 

strategy. These steps included:

o Dedicating a NGB-level SAPR staff member to align the Guard’s prevention 

approach to the DoD Prevention Strategy.

o Improving training delivered to NG leaders, SAPR and SHARP personnel.

The NG is in the process of developing T32-specific Commander SAPR training 

for its Brigade, Battalion and Company level commanders for the ARNG and 

Wing, Group and Squadron level commanders for the ANG. Specific 

prevention training is also being reviewed and updated for presentation at the 

quarterly GLSCs.

o Training all Guardsmen on BIT, tactics, and procedures. The NG is in the 

process of reviewing and updating its BIT training taught originally as a part of 

the NG T32 Initial SARC and SAPR VA course. This training will be 

incorporated into policy as required annual training for all Guard members. 

o Improving Male Victimization-Prevention and Response. NG SAPR has 

engaged contracted SMEs to create prevention and outreach materials 

targeting male victims of military sexual trauma (MST) to increase reporting and 

reduce incidents. The total support package will include public service 

announcements, training material and command messaging. The ultimate goal 

is to compile and share current best practices for messaging and outreach to 

men regarding sexual assault victimization. 

o Increasing the dissemination of NG “best prevention practices” across the 

States. The NG is engaging the states regularly, through the use of the Sexual 
18

Assault Prevention and Response Advisory Council (SAPRAC), located at the 

regional and national levels, to identify sexual assault prevention promising 

practices for elevation to the federal level for nation-wide implementation. A 

specific site was dedicated on Guard Knowledge Online (GKO) for states to 

upload information on all of their existing practices. This information, in turn, 

can be viewed by all others who have GKO access, such as SARCs, JFHQState VACs and SAPR VAs. Other avenues to share these practices are being 

explored. 

o Improving NG investigation and accountability LOEs. The NG is developing 

Guard-specific investigation metrics to provide state-level visibility on offender 

accountability with the intent to deter the occurrence of incidents through 

accountability actions. Through coordinated efforts with TAGs, key state 

leaders, NGB-JA, and State SJAs, the NG is developing a process to capture 

the outcome of sexual assault cases involving Guard members. GKO is the 

venue that will be utilized to capture and provide visibility of investigative 

measures. 

o Soliciting and incorporating professional civilian and military expertise into 

the development of unique research-based prevention methods and program 

enhancements. The NG Prevention Lead will be the point of contact for this 

effort. 

o Analyzing data on SAPR program effectiveness to target areas for 

improvement. The NG will continue the detailed analysis of the multiple data 

sources to better identify SAPR related trends, inform the effectiveness of their 

efforts, and to serve as a guide to target areas for improvement. 

o Addressing sexual assault issues in a holistic approach, relying less on 

isolated training events and moving toward adapting SAPR messages into other 

organizational programs and areas of responsibilities. 

o Partnering with local and county agencies and organizations, and institutes 

of higher education to lead SAPR initiatives in our communities. The SAPRAC 

will be the vehicle to compile and disseminate the best practices regarding 

partnerships, MOUs and MOAs with community agencies, and colleges and 

universities in the States. They will operate through its regional representatives 

to identify trends and elevate best practices regarding college engagements. 

The goal is to strengthen the NG leadership role in their communities and 

encourage partnership with colleges and universities to reduce, with the goal of 

eliminating, incidents of sexual assault. 

o Reviewing and recommending the creation of new policies regarding 

alcohol use and other substance abuse concerns as they relate to sexual 

assault prevention. 


19

1.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.



The citizen-military duality is the essence of the National Guard and is the foundation 

for our success. As a community-based organization with wings in every state and 

armories in over 3,000 communities, the NG is able to establish innumerable 

relationships in the fight against sexual assault along all five lines of effort. Identified 

below is a sampling of the relationships developed within the states. Many of these 

relationships include endeavors that cover several LOEs. 

 Kentucky (KY) National Guard SAPR Office has established relationships with 

the following:

o Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs (KASAP) - a coalition of 

13 Rape Crisis Centers across Kentucky. 

o KY Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) Advisory Committee – The KY 

SART advisory committee was established by KY Revised Statute 403.707. 

This multidisciplinary committee is made up of Executive Directors from a 

variety of agencies across the state (State Police, Rape Crisis Centers, State 

Crime Lab, Directorate of Nursing, Crime Victims Compensation Board, Victim 

Information and Notification Everyday (VINE), etc). It works to develop a model 

protocol for operation of SART teams in the state, recommends changes in 

statute, administrative regulation, training, policy, and budget to promote a 

multidisciplinary response to sexual assault. The KYNG SARC is part of the 

committee.

o Additional relationships made within Kentucky include: Victims of Crime Act,

Grant Review Committee; KY Office of the Attorney General; KY Crime Victims 

Compensation Board; KY SART Violence Against Women Act Grant Review 

Committee; and, KY VINE.

information to the cadets at the Reserve Officer Training Corps program.

 California Military Department (CMD) Sexual Assault Review Board (SARB)

collaborated with the California state legislative liaison and participated in hearings 

to educate the state legislature on MST. The result was a bill recently signed into 

law that mandates referral of sexual assault allegations for investigation to the 

civilian law enforcement. 

 Delaware (DE) SARC became a member of the Sexual Assault Network of 

Delaware (SAND). Coordinating with local, state and federal agencies, the DE 

SARC, MAJ Estelle Murray, provided uniformed training, resources and support for 

survivors of sexual assault. As a member of SAND, she works with other agencies 

such as the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner committee, Criminal Justice Council, 

Delaware Department of Justice, Delaware Department of Corrections, Delaware 

Police Departments, local crisis organizations and other public and private 

organizations whose collaborative efforts help to raise awareness of sexual assault.

 Illinois (IL) SAPR staff supported the Health and Disabilities Advocate 

sponsored MST Behavioral Health Workshops. Conducting two workshops 

previously in FY12, the SAPR staff helped to conduct three workshops in FY14 in 

the Chicago area, Shiloh Armory and Camp Lincoln. These workshops were open 

to everyone, with members of the military attending free. Coordination is underway 

to conduct three workshops in the upcoming FY, to include one at Camp Lincoln on 

3 April 2015 in conjunction with SAAM.

 The “Strive to Thrive in Your College Years” event was an effort coordinated by 

the Department of Social Services (Youth and Family Services), with the support of 

the Town of East Hampton, Connecticut Board of Education, the Connecticut NG 

SEEM, the East Hampton Chief of Police, and the Connecticut JFHQ-State SARC. 

The “Strive to Thrive” initiative was created to promote awareness among incoming 

freshmen. The JFHQ-State SARC’s presentation included the following topics:

o Individuals most at risk for sexual assault. 

o Getting comfortable about having uncomfortable conversations. 

o Those most at risk are young people between the ages of 18 and 24. 

o The prevalent use of alcohol in sexual assaults. 

o Most sexual assaults are committed by someone you know. 
21

o The Five “Is’” of sexual assault - Invasion, Ignoring, Intoxication, Instincts 

and Isolation. 

o Barriers to intervening, pluralistic ignorance, diffusion of responsibility, the 

importance of stepping up, the use of a buddy system and having an exit plan. 

School districts in Portland and Newfield; University of Connecticut, Quinnipiac 

University and Southern Connecticut State have all requested the JFHQ-State 

SARC to present a similar presentation to their students.

 Idaho (ID) Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence coordinates and 

organizes services and resources throughout the state. JFHQ-State SAPR 

personnel frequently partnered with them to provide training, outreach, and project 

collaboration.

 Idaho Victim Advocate Academy – This local resource provided training to 

members of the IDNG SAPR staff.

 Rhode Island (RI) National Guard SAPR relationships:

o Rhode Island Day One Collaboration. The RING SAPR Staff established 

an MOU with RI Day One in 2010 and is invited to present at all Law 
22

Enforcement Advocate In-Service Training classes. This training provides

community advocates with an awareness of the NG SAPR program. Similarly, 

Day One SMEs are invited to conduct classes for the RING.

o RI Coalition Against Domestic Violence (RICADV). RING SAPR Staff 

established a MOU with RICADV in 2010. Members of the Coalition help in 

presenting the 40 hour initial training, joint refresher training classes, and 

annual training classes for the RING.

o Coalition partners, RI Vet Center MST, Veterans Administration Hospital 

MST and RING SAPR staff continuously collaborate and assist each other in 

treatment, best practices and knowledge sharing to increase advocacy and 

support for victims 

o RING JFHQ-State SARC was invited to participate in Grand Rounds at 

Memorial Hospital, Providence RI in partnership with doctors from the Veterans 

Administration Hospital to brief on Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF),

Rounds are an important teaching tool that consists of presenting a medical 

problem and discussing treatment options so healthcare professionals can keep 

up to date on evolving areas.

o RING JFHQ-State SARC participated in numerous “Lunch and Learn” 

sessions to help update Veteran Affairs Regional Office personnel, specifically 

Raters, on the current SAPR initiatives within the military. This forum was also 

used to gain insight on the information and documentation they would need to 

process a victim’s claim. Additionally, RING SAPR Program staff was made 

available for support to survivors who have compensation and pension benefits 

appointments. 

 South Carolina (SC) SAPR Program relationships include:

Specialists and other VAs. 

1.13 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective prevention 

methods and programs, including how these efforts will help your Service plan, 

resource and make progress in your SAPR program.



The NG is aligning its prevention approach with the DOD Prevention Model to reach all 

of the spheres of influence to provide the means and ways to detect, influence, and 

deter sexual assault. Specific joint and service component efforts will include:



 Increasing the focus on training prevention methods, developing strategies for 

cultural change, enforcing standards, and defining how leaders may align command 

climate with NG cultural values to create a culture of prevention. 

 Exploring the increased use of “Green Dot” violence prevention training and 

using the methods and processes from this training to increase the primary 

prevention efforts to deter violence before it occurs. The “Green Dot” training uses 

surveys to document measureable prevention techniques, which are shared as best 

practices.

 Continuing the integration of prevention methods through communication of the 

techniques during the Air National Guard Ancillary Training Program.

 Implementing the components of the “I. A.M.” campaign that leverage Army 

values and Warrior Ethos to drive soldiers to Intervene, Act, and Motivate. The 

strategy is to achieve cultural change for preventing sexual harassment and sexual 

assault. 

 Increasing the use of small group discussion to educate Guard members, guide

leadership, and discourage offenders in an effort to reinforce a positive climate.
24

 Partnering with all first responder functional elements within SAPR to conduct a 

needs assessment. Possible use of external SMEs to provide perspectives and 

understanding about how offenders operate and how victims process the trauma as 

a result of being assaulted.

 Encouraging SARCs to continue to reach out to local rape crisis centers and 

other resources to help provide relevant VA skill development and information on 

local resources available for victims of sexual assault.

 Ensuring certified individuals are serving as SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs, and 

SAPR VAs.

 Promoting command emphasis on the SAPR program by conducting 

Commander’s Call prior to all SAPR training, providing commander briefs, 

newcomer briefs, and continuing to complete required annual SAPR training.

 Continuing the delivery of SAPR messages in a personal manner - Face-to-face 

and frequent interaction with all members.

 Discharging members of the National Guard convicted of a sexual assault

promptly.

 Reviewing training updates to ensure all changes and additions are 

incorporated as appropriate into the NG T32 Initial SARC and SAPR VA training 

program. 

 Increasing the collaboration with Public Affairs to deliver consistent and 

effective messages.

 Maximizing the use of social media to increase awareness and promote 

effective and diverse SAAM activities.

2. LOE 2—Investigation—The objective of investigation is to “achieve high 

competence in the investigation of sexual assault.”

2.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Investigation Endstate: “investigative 

resources yield timely and accurate results.”

As a T32 entity, the NG does not operate a military criminal investigative organization 

(MCIO). Therefore, in July 2012, NGB established NGB-JA/OCI under the NGB-JA as 

an investigatory resource. The primary mission of this office is to investigate sexual 

assaults that occur within the States, but outside the jurisdiction of MCIOs, declined for 

investigation by CLE, or are not sufficiently investigated by CLE. NGB-JA/OCI

investigations were typically conducted by three-person investigative teams, which 

included at least one lawyer. For FY 15 the OCI teams will be reduced to two, with one 

investigator of the same gender as the victim. The NGB-JA/OCI investigative reports 
25

yield thorough results and provide the state leadership with actionable findings and 

evidence. 

In FY14, 36 investigations were initiated pursuant to TAG requests for assistance. 

Investigations were conducted as soon as possible, based partly on the availability of 

witnesses and investigators. In April 2014, to improve reporting and handling of 

reports of sexual assaults, NGB mandated the referral of all Unrestricted Reports of 

sexual assault involving non-federalized members of the NG to the appropriate 

investigative agency. This policy required NG commanders to first refer such reports to 

law enforcement with jurisdiction over the crime, and if law enforcement declined to 

investigate, then to NGB-JA/OCI. The policy also allowed referrals of cases to NGBJA/OCI, which law enforcement did investigate, but not sufficiently for the Command’s 

purposes (for example, law enforcement did not prosecute or did not conduct a 

thorough enough investigation for the State Command to use for appropriate 

administrative action).

One-hundred and sixteen specially recruited NGB-JA/OCI investigators have been 

trained at the Special Victim Unit Investigator Course at the U.S. Army Military Police 

School at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. To maintain currency, these investigators also 

participate in annual refresher training at NGB. To enhance its investigative 

capabilities and to achieve consistency in the procedures conducted by the AC MCIOs, 

NGB-JA/OCI is currently in the process of purchasing special investigative equipment 

similar to that used by MCIOs to facilitate its investigations. 

2.2 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability for MCIO’s. 

Sexual assaults that occur while NG members are in a T32 status do not typically fall 

under the jurisdiction of an MCIO. As a result, the Guard cannot fully implement the 

Special Victim Capability as defined in 10 U.S.C. § 1561. 

Nevertheless, NGB-JA/OCI was built to provide TAGs with a similar capacity of 

specially trained professionals to investigate sexual assaults within the NG. NGBJA/OCI investigators are hand selected by the Chief Counsel’s staff. The investigators 

are chosen for their prior experience or expertise as a judge advocates, paralegals, or 

civilian law enforcement or special investigative backgrounds. NGB-JA/OCI has grown 

rapidly since its creation in August of 2012, from the original staff of three to a FT staff 

of 22 personnel, which includes 17 investigators, and an available pool of over 100 

specially trained NG investigators. 

2.3 Describe your progress in implementing Special Victim Capability case 

assessment protocol for open and closed sexual assault, child abuse, and 

serious domestic violence cases. 

As stated above, NGB-JA/OCI investigates adult sexual assault, not child abuse or 

domestic violence. Cases are assessed by determining first whether the victim or the 

reported perpetrator is a NG member. If so, did the event occur while in T10 status 
26

(i.e. will the MCIO take jurisdiction)? If no MCIO jurisdiction, was the case referred to 

civilian law enforcement? If so, was the CLE action sufficient for DoD’s purposes? 

Closed cases are not re-assessed automatically; however, they could be if the referring 

State requested it. To date, no such requests have been made.

Cases involving child abuse and serious domestic violence cases are investigated and 

handled by state and local child protective authorities and civilian law enforcement. 

2.4 Describe your progress in enhancing training for investigators of sexual 

violence. Include efforts to establish common criteria, core competencies, and 

measures of effectiveness, and to leverage training resources and expertise. 

All NGB-JA/OCI investigators must complete core training at the Sexual Assault Unit 

Investigations Course at the US Army MP School at Ft Leonard Wood, MO and annual 

refresher training at NGB, which is refined every year based on lessons learned and 

new policies and procedures. As additional funds become available, selected 

investigators will attend other training events and conferences. In terms of measuring 

effectiveness, all investigations are reviewed and approved by NGB-JA/OCI

leadership. Issues raised during the review stage are addressed directly with 

investigators. NGB-JA/OCI leverages expertise inherent in the National Guard by 

recruiting investigators who already have relevant legal backgrounds (including civilian 

prosecutors and defense counsel) and those with investigative experience (including 

police and detectives).

2.5 Describe your progress in developing joint doctrine for investigations to 

incorporate Service interoperability and command independence consistent with 

authorities of MCIOs in the operational/institutional environment. 

CNGB Instruction 0400.01 and CNGB Manual 0400.01, which cover NGB-JA/OCI

authorities, requests and procedures, are joint publications applicable to both the 

ARNG and ANG. NGB-JA/OCI also developed internal SOPs for its investigators, who 

are members of the ARNG and ANG. 

2.6 Describe your progress in sustaining the Defense Enterprise Working Group 

of Military Criminal Investigation Organizations and Defense Criminal 

Investigative Service to assess and validate joint investigative technology, best 

practices, and resource efficiencies benched against external law enforcement 

agencies.

As a T32 entity without MCIOs, the NG has no experience with the Defense Enterprise 

Working Group of Military Criminal Investigation Organizations and Defense Criminal 

Investigative Service. However, NGB-JA/OCI, Air Force Office of Special 

Investigations (AFOSI), and Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) have plans to

stand up a working group to explore ways to maximize resources and enhance 

information sharing. This will allow the MCIOs to pass information regarding NGrelated incidents directly to NGB-JA/OCI.
27

2.7 Describe your progress in assessing and coordinating with the United States 

Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory to improve investigative support and 

facilitate evidence processing. 

When forensic evidence is available and identified, NGB-JA/OCI will first attempt to 

coordinate with state or local law enforcement to collect and analyze. When the state 

is unwilling or unable to accommodate the request, NGB-JA/OCI may coordinate 

directly with the Army Criminal Investigative Division for investigative analysis. 

Additionally, NGB-JA/OCI, AFOSI and CID are standing up a working group to share 

forensic expertise.

2.8 Describe your progress in ensuring that all sexual assault crimes are 

immediately reported to MCIOs to establish investigative oversight and 

coordination.

CNGB Notice 0400, 16 April 2014, “Interim Revision to CNGB Series 0400.01,”

established the mandate for all NG sexual assault incidents to first be reported to 

MCIOs, if applicable, then to CLE. When required, based on lack of jurisdiction or 

declination to investigation by the MCIO and CLE, TAG will request investigatory 

assistance from NGB-JA/OCI. This policy was briefed to senior leaders during the 

GSLU and will remain a topic of interest in future training venues.

Additionally, in response to the DoD 2013 SAPR Strategic Plan task to “Establish NGB 

measure for tracking referrals for investigation of Unrestricted Reports of sexual 

assault to an MCIO, CLE, or NGB-JA/OCI,” NG-J1-SAPR and NGB-JA identified 

investigation and accountability measures. These measures are being developed for 

reporting and display on GKO SAPR Dashboard. NG-J1-SAPR collaborated with the 

NGB Strategic Management Systems staff members to develop the system processes 

for these metrics. Process instructions are being established to ensure consistency in 

reporting. Once these processes are established, the NG will begin collecting state 

investigation and accountability-data. This will enable our ability to ensure all reports of 

sexual assault are being processed and followed through to their completion.

2.9 Describe your progress in ensuring prompt MCIO investigative notification to 

commanders and SARCs concurrent with initiating an investigation of a sexual 

assault crime. 

In the absence of a MCIO in the NG, this is not applicable. 

However, TAGs refer cases to NGB-JA/OCI, which closely coordinates with the State 

Command prior to and during the investigation process. Pursuant to CNGB Manual 

0400.01, each NGB-JA/OCI investigation into a sexual assault includes a read-in with 

TAG (or designee), State Chief of Staff, JFHQ-State SARC, State JA Point of Contact 

(POC), State Public Affairs (PA), and select staff as needed, upon arrival at JFHQ.
28

2.10 Describe your continuing efforts to foster early coordination between 

investigators and judge advocates when initiating a sexual assault investigation. 

As a community-based organization, the NG relies heavily upon MOUs and MOAs to 

establish the relationship between the NG and a specific organization. Although 

differences may exist within each state and locality, the use of MOUs and MOAs with 

civilian and military agencies and organizations are strongly encouraged. This 

specifically includes CLE, state attorney generals, and other investigative or judicial 

entities. Additionally, SARCs maintain a relationship with State JA personnel to assist 

in monitoring an investigation conducted by CLE or MCIO. In the event, NGB-JA/OCI 

is requested by TAG to investigate the sexual assault, NGB-JA/OCI investigators 

coordinate directly with the State SJA POC prior to and during the sexual assault

investigation.

2.11 For Unrestricted and Restricted Reports, describe your efforts to ensure 

sexual assault documentation (DD Forms 2910 and 2911) is retained for 50 years 

in accordance with Section 1723 of the NDAA for FY14. 

Consistent with the requirement as established in Section 1723 of the NDAA for FY14, 

NG SARCs were instructed to maintain sexual assault documentation under double 

lock and key security measures at the JFHQ-Stat and Wing levels, as appropriately 

required by TAG policy guidance. A signed DD Form 2910 is scanned and maintained 

in DSAID when an Unrestricted Report is elected. All DD Forms 2910 electing a 

Restricted Report are maintained under double lock by the SARC. In all cases, a copy 

of the DD Form 2910 is provided to the victim and maintained for 50 years. 

For those cases involving an investigation by NGB-JA/OCI, the originals of these forms 

are kept at the State level, while copies are maintained by NGB-JA/OCI. Special 

servers with limited access are being purchased for NGB-JA/OCI to assist in complying 

with the required recordkeeping. 

Typically, NG sexual assault victims are referred to civilian medical treatment facilities, 

where DD Forms, specifically DD Form 2911 “DoD Sexual Assault Forensic Exam 

Report” is not used. 

2.12 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

As stated previously, the NG relies heavily upon MOUs and MOAs to establish 

relationships with agencies, organizations, and facilities for specific purposes. These 

MOUs and MOAs are always reviewed by the State SJA for legal sufficiency, and may 

be initiated by the SARC, State SJA, medical personnel, JFHQ-State VAC, or other 

SAPR related personnel between the NG and a specific organization. These MOUs 

and MOAs are always reviewed by the State SJA for legal sufficiency.
29

As it relates to investigations, when CLE is initially involved in a case that NGB-JA/OCI

is investigating, the NGB-JA/OCI investigators and State SJA POCs routinely 

collaborate with them to obtain police reports and other evidence. When NGB-JA/OCI

uncovers evidence that may impact how law enforcement might handle a case, it 

encourages the State to provide that evidence to help ensure criminal accountability 

where appropriate. 

2.13 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in the 

investigation of sexual assault.

NGB is working to establish NGB-JA/OCI as the program of record to ensure it is 

properly staffed and resourced with fully qualified investigators to meet the needs of 

the sexual assault victims. Additional management and oversight structures are being 

implemented within NGB-JA/OCI, including the establishment of mid-level managers 

and dedicated legal reviews, to ensure high quality investigations and reports. NGBJA/OCI leadership is also seeking additional training opportunities to augment the 

current required training for NGB-JA/OCI investigators and is actively recruiting 

investigators and judge advocates with demonstrated experience in the field of sexual 

assault investigation and prosecution. 

At the state level, SAPR personnel will continue to conduct outreach operations and 

establish relationships through MOUs and MOAs with CLE agencies. SARCs will 

continue to cross-feed information with the State SJAs on new developments and best 

practices within the SAPR community.

3. LOE 3—Accountability—The objective of accountability is to “achieve high 

competence in holding offenders appropriately accountable.”

3.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Accountability Endstate: “perpetrators 

are held appropriately accountable.”

The NG is faced with unique challenges to achieve the goal of holding sexual assault 

perpetrators appropriately accountable for their actions. The first challenge, being able 

to properly investigate a report of sexual assault, was overcome with the creation of the 

NGB-JA/OCI. Thorough investigations conducted by the NGB-JA/OCI investigators 

and the resulting report, offer state leaders the information necessary to initiate 

administrative action in order to hold the offender appropriately accountable. 

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is not applicable for Guard members in a 

T32 duty status. Consequently, the NG must rely on CLE to investigate and prosecute 

offenders under existing state criminal statutes covering sex crimes for its cases that 

occur when the member is not in a federal status. Each state has its own CMJ, which 

may vary considerably from state to state. Many SARCs have become interested in 

their state’s CMJ and working are with State JA and state legislative liaison staff to 

examine and review any proposed state sexual assault legislation that may involve 

actions or legal issues related to the NG’s SAPR program within the state. A number 

of states have revised their legislation or mandated a more extensive review. For 
30

example:

 The CMD SARB worked with state legislative liaisons and participated in 

hearings to help educate the state legislature on MST. The team collaborated on 

California Military Sexual Assault legislation Senate Bill 1422, signed by Governor 

Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown Jr. on 21 August 2014. This bill:

o Removes investigations and prosecutions of military sexual assault cases 

from the Chain of Command and requires cases of sexual assault involving 

Guard members of the CMD to be subject to the jurisdiction of local civilian 

authorities. The CMD includes the NG, State Military Reserve, the California 

Cadet Corps, and the Naval Militia. 

o Prohibits a convening authority from overturning a conviction for a qualifying 

sexual assault offense issued by a general court-martial. 

o Requires the convening authority to dispose of cases on appeal in 

accordance with the decision of the Courts-Martial Appellate Panel. Under the 

bill, no statute of limitations would apply for a member of the active militia to be 

charged with a qualifying sexual assault offense when subject to the jurisdiction 

of the military court. 

o Requires the punishment for a conviction of any of the specified offenses to 

be issued as directed by the general court-martial, and to include, at a 

minimum, dismissal or dishonorable discharge. 

o Requires the CMD to report on or before 1 July of each year to the 

Governor, the Legislature the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, the 

Assembly Committee on Veterans Affairs, the Attorney General, and the United 

States Attorneys in California regarding the federal government’s activities 

relating to sexual assault prevention and response. 

 The IA state Legislature passed a bill that prohibits IANG commanders from 

interfering with sexual assault victims’ right to report incidents involving members of 

the Guard to civilian law enforcement officials. After passing the Senate on a 47-0 

vote and the House on a 94-0 vote, the bill was signed by IA Governor Terry E. 

Branstad on 3 April 2014. This bill:

o Makes it a state court-martial offense if a member of the state military 

interferes with or retaliates against a member who makes or intends to make a 

report of certain serious crimes (murder, robbery, sex abuse, etc.) that are 

under the exclusive jurisdiction of civilian courts to civilian law enforcement. 

This offense takes place if the accused and victim were subject to the IACMJ at 

the time of the offense. 

o Makes it a court-martial offense if a member of the state military fails to 
31

cooperate with or obstructs a civilian law enforcement investigation based upon 

a report of an offense mentioned above. 

o Requires a commander, who is made aware of an allegation that a crime 

the civilian courts have exclusive jurisdiction over has been committed by a 

member of the state military forces against another member, to report it without 

delay to civilian law enforcement. In a case of an allegation of sexual abuse,

the commander’s obligation to make this report to civilian law enforcement does 

not apply in the case of a restricted report as defined by federal military 

regulations. 

o Details that if the allegation is of sexual abuse, the commander is required 

to provide the person making the allegation with written notice of the person’s 

right to notify local civilian law enforcement independently (but the commander 

is still required to notify civilian law enforcement if the report was unrestricted). 

o State’s military members retain the right to notify civilian law enforcement of 

crimes that civilian courts have primary or exclusive jurisdiction over. 

o Requires TAG to submit an annual report to the Governor and the Veterans’ 

committees in each chamber of the number of offenses that are under the 

primary or exclusive jurisdiction of civilian courts that were reported to civilian 

authorities. 

 Maine (ME) Revised Statutes - Title 37B: Defense, Veterans and Emergency 

Management – Chapter 5: Maine Code of Military Justice – added subsection on 

Sexual Assault. 

In 2012, the MENG identified the need for sexual assault offenses to be specifically 

included in Title 37-B Chapter 5, the MECMJ. Language similar to Articles 120, 125 

and 134 of the UCMJ were drafted for submission and enacted by the legislature in 

2013. Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault are referred to the civil authorities for 

investigation and adjudication; however, the Maine NG maintains capabilities in 

addition to or in lieu of a District Attorney’s actions. 

 Maine Chapter 66, Legislative Document 1504, 126th Maine State Legislature, 

Resolve, Directing TAG of the State to Ensure the MECMJ Addresses Sexual 

Trauma in the Military. 

As requested in Legislative Document 1504, TAG’s Office conducted an assessment of 

the MECMJ and the provisions of the FY13 NDAA in order to determine if there are 

gaps in adequate prosecution and proper treatment of sexual assault victims.

 Review of Kentucky Code of Military Justice (KYCMJ).

During a review of the KYCMJ, all statutes pertaining to sexual assault within Title V –
32

Military Affairs, Chapter 35, Military Justice were identified as being repealed in 1970. 

The JFHQ-State SAPR Office worked with the State SJA office to add new statutes 

covering this during an update of the KYCMJ. Two sections, 681 and 690, “Rape and 

sexual assault generally” and “Other sexual misconduct” respectively, were introduced 

into the legislative process and approved with zero dissenting votes and became 

effective on 25 June 2013. Section 681 clearly defines the act of each type of sexual 

assault, removing any possible ambiguity. It also defines “consent” and the conditions 

under which it can or cannot be given.

During CMG meetings, every effort is made to ensure CLE are included in the meeting 

to discuss the ongoing investigation. Attendance by the State SJA is also critical for 

the proper management of cases which many go to prosecution.

The remaining factor in achieving this end state of holding perpetrators appropriately 

accountable is gaining the trust and confidence in the sexual assault victim. Without 

the election of an Unrestricted Report, there is no investigation. The NG continues to 

raise awareness of everyone’s responsibility to help eradicate sexual assault and to

hold the subject appropriately accountable for their actions.

3.2 Describe your progress in implementing a special victims’ advocacy/counsel 

for victims. 

The NG SVC Program was developed to institute legal support available to T32 NG 

victims of sexual assault. Per FY14 NDAA, eligibility to receive SVC services was 

limited to NG members sexually assaulted while in a federalized status. Consequently, 

most NG members and eligible dependents did not meet the requirements to receive 

SVC services from active duty Service SVC Programs. 

CNGB recognized this inequity and in November 2013, directed the NGB-JA to 

establish a NG SVC Program. The intent of the program is to ensure all NG members 

and eligible dependents, who are victims of sexual assault, receive the same level of 

legal support as the AC. The SVC program consists of a cadre of specially-trained 

JAs, who represent a client’s interests on issues arising as a result of the sexual 

assault. 

With funding for the resource authorized by DoD SAPRO, the NGB-JA/SVC was 

quickly created and tasked with the responsibility to stand up the NG SVC Program. In 

light of the complexity of establishing a national SVC program to support NG sexual 

assault victims in the States, a phased approach was developed. This approach 

allowed the program to immediately respond to existing SVC requests, and to design a 

sustainable plan to gradually grow the NG SVC Program. 

 Policy Development (December 2013 to June 2014).

During Phase I and II of program development, one of NGB-JA/SVC’s priorities was to 

develop SVC policy and practice documents that addressed the unique challenges 
33

facing NG members and NG SVC. They closely coordinated its training, policy and 

programmatic development with the Service SVC Programs and The Judge Adjutant 

Generals (TJAGs) throughout the phases of program development. Through this 

coordination, the Services modified policy to ensure Guard members and eligible 

dependents who are victims of sexual assault could receive SVC services provided by 

NG SVCs.

The CNGB Instruction and CNGB Manual for the NG SVC Program, providing 

fundamental policy statements and SVC rules of practices, respectively, are currently 

undergoing internal review. Until their approval, NGB-JA/SVC continues to provide 

policy guidance to practicing NG SVCs with SOPs on areas such as client consultation, 

legal trainings, and template documents on issues concerning privacy protection, 

record requests, and requests for expedited transfer. They also host weekly 

conference calls with Regional NG SVCs as a forum for peer-to-peer learning, 

professional development, and accountability checks.

 Manpower Development.

NGB-JA/SVC coordinated and met its training requirements by partnering with the 

Army and AF SVC certification courses. To address the NG policies and unique 

challenges facing the T32 Guard member, they provided an NG curriculum and 

instructors for the NG JAs participating in the certification course. Following successful 

completion of this course, NGB-JA/SVC coordinates with the Army or AF SVC PM to 

ensure the Service TJAG properly certifies the NG JAs as SVCs. 

To date, 94 trained NG SVC are present in 43 of the States. Of the 94 trained SVC, 11 

were selected to serve as NG Regional SVCs on full-time, NG duty (T10, and Active 

Duty Operational Support (ADOS)-RC orders). The full-time Regional NG SVCs 

provide sustained legal support to allow sexual assault clients to focus on recovery. 

NGB-JA/SVC was able to recruit NG Regional SVCs by leveraging expertise and 

diverse legal experiences within the NG SVC community. NG Regional SVCs are 

seasoned attorneys who have served as civil litigators, state prosecutors, or civilian 

defense attorneys, in addition to being NG JAs. Additionally, NG Regional SVCs have 

extensive experience in advising individual clients or executive-level leadership in 

military or civilian settings.

Since the inception of the NG SVC program, NG Regional SVCs have experienced a 

high volume of cases laden with complicated legal issues. The amount of work to 

resolve these cases would require a legal assistance attorney to invest work hours 

extending well beyond a normal drill schedule and annual training days. 

 Operational Status.

The NG SVC Program reached its operational status on15 May 2014. Within two 

months of this date, NG Regional SVCs were collectively representing 43 cases 

addressing a myriad of cross-cutting legal issues, such as military criminal investigation 
34

and prosecution (court martial), administrative investigation and case disposition, line 

of duty determination for NG victims of sexual assault, expedited transfer requests, and 

protection of privacy. NG SVC program staff was also monitoring seven NG cases 

supported by Army and AF SVCs.

3.3 Describe your progress in ensuring those who are affiliated with the special 

victim capability program (paralegals, JAGs, Judges, special victim 

counsel/victim legal counsel, and victim-witness assistance personnel) receive 

specialized SAPR training for responding to allegations of sexual assault. 

The NG special victim capability program primarily includes the NGB-JA/OCI 

investigators and SVCs. Training programs are established for each of these 

categories.

NG-JA/OCI investigators must complete their core training at the 2-week Sexual 

Assault Unit Investigations Course at the US Army Military Police School at Ft Leonard 

Wood, MO. Annually, the OCI investigators are required to attend refresher training 

conducted at NGB. This training includes instruction on the appropriate techniques for 

interviewing victims of sexual assault.

Regional SVCs attend initial certification and child advocacy trainings provided by the 

Service SVC Programs. During the initial months of assuming their duties, Regional 

SVCs participate in the NG 40-hour initial training for SARCs and SAPR VAs, to 

become fluent with DoD and NGB SAPR policies, programs, and resources. 

Furthermore, Regional SVCs will be attending legal assistance training at the Army 

Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School. Regional SVCs are also provided 

with opportunities and funding to attend legal trainings conducted by State NG judge 

advocates, SARCs and SAPR VAs, and regional trial defense counsels. 

The NG SVC Program further provides Regional SVCs with a three-day, intensive legal 

training focusing on legal issues that are unique to NG members. The legal training 

sessions are led by military and civilian victim attorneys who are subject matter experts 

in the area of Federal and State criminal and administrative disposition of sexual 

assault cases. Regional SVCs also participate in weekly conference calls with NG 

SVC program staff and SMEs to discuss challenging legal issues, professional 

responsibilities, best practices and lesson learned. Regional SVCs routinely receive 

policy guidance on the provision of SVC services and professional consultation from 

NG SVC program staff. 

3.4 Describe your progress in ensuring that if a service member is convicted by 

court-martial or receives a non-judicial punishment or punitive administrative 

action for a sex-related offense, a notation to that effect shall be placed in the 

service personnel record. 

The ARNG and ANG adhere to their respective Service administrative publications for 

placing a notation in a Guard member’s personnel record to document the member’s 
35

conviction by court martial or receipt of non-judicial punishment or punitive 

administrative action for a sex-related offense. 

3.5 Describe your progress to expand the availability, sequencing, and scope of 

commanders’ legal courses (e.g., range of command legal authorities and 

options). Include how you are assessing course outcomes. 

Relevant courses are made available by the active duty Services JAG schools. The 

NG is provided quotas to attend. 

3.6 Describe your effort to ensure the withholding of initial disposition authority 

in certain sexual assault cases from all commanders who do not possess at 

least Special Court Martial Convening Authority and who are not in the grade of 

O6 or higher.

Not applicable to NG on T32 duty status.

3.7 Describe your efforts to ensure SAPR first responder knowledge of MRE 514 

(Victim Advocate-Victim Privilege). 

Not applicable. MRE 514 does not apply to Title 32 NG, although some States may 

have a corollary privilege for SAPR VAs under individual state statutes and therefore 

may be included as part of their State Military Codes. Those states, if they conduct 

courts martial, would need to train as necessary for SAPR VAs.

3.8 Describe any treatment or rehabilitation programs implemented by your 

Service or Component for those members who have been convicted of a sexual 

assault. Include any pertinent referrals such as drug and alcohol counseling, or 

other types of counseling or intervention. 

The NG does not possess the capabilities to offer specific treatment or rehabilitation 

programs for thoseT32 members convicted of a sexual assault. 

However, it is the responsibility of the Commander to ensure the welfare of the subject.

Resources within the NG may include the Chaplain, DPH, and SAPR personnel. 

These individuals will be able to provide the Guard member with a list of community, 

county or state programs which may be able to offer them assistance.

If the Guard member is also a Federal Technician, assistance may be obtained from 

the Employee Assistance Program, which may result in a referral to drug and alcohol 

counseling and other intervention programs. 



3.9 NGB, describe how you are ensuring that all investigations are being referred 

to the NGB-JA/Office of Complex Investigations. 

CNGB Notice 0400, signed in April 2014, established the mandate for all NG sexual 
36

assault incidents to first be reported to MCIOs, if applicable, then to CLE. When 

required, based on lack of jurisdiction or declination to investigation, by the MCIO and 

CLE, TAG will request investigatory assistance from NGB-JA/OCI. This policy was 

briefed to senior leaders during the GSLU and will remain a topic of interest in future 

training venues.

3.10 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

As in the case of the collaboration between NGB-JA/OCI investigators and State SJAs 

with CLE and the civilian judicial system, members of the NG SVC program also 

maintain a close working relationship with these organizations. MOUs and MOAs may 

be developed as appropriate to establish specific roles and responsibilities. 

SAPR personnel play a tremendous role in community outreach to improve 

interoperability. Many states have established MOUs and MOAs with various 

organizations in support of different facets of the SAPR program. In many states, 

SAPR personnel have collaborated in community efforts, which included CLE and 

members of the judicial system, as well as support agencies, to raise awareness of 

sexual assault within the community. The extent of the NG’s collaborative efforts and 

relationship building with the community, local, regional and state, is unmatched within 

the military. Although sexual assault prevention and victim advocacy may be the 

primary focus areas when establishing relationships, such as local rape crisis centers, 

Victim Witness Assistance Programs, domestic abuse organizations, and local 

hospitals and clinics that will perform sexual assault forensic exams, efforts focus on 

those areas where there is an indication of a specific need. 

3.11 Describe your future plans for the achievement of high competence in 

holding offenders appropriately accountable.

Accountability rests with the individual States under available state legal authorities. 

However, NGB-JA/OCI will highlight the special training received by the NGB-JA/OCI 

investigators and demonstrate the effectiveness of the program. State SJA trainings to 

enhance their understanding of the NGB-JA/OCI program will be maintained. 

Additionally, utilizing case or potential case investigations to help in the socialization 

process between NGB and the states will be maintained. The efforts of the NGBJA/OCI will be a focus at GSLCs to ensure TAGs and the command are aware of the 

requirement to request an investigation by NGB-JA/OCI investigators when CLE do not 

investigate or when their investigation failed to lead to prosecution. Instead of just 

closing a case because CLE may have, the States can assess the value of having

NGB-JA/OCI administratively investigate the report of sexual assault. The ensuing 

investigative report may potentially provide additional information that would enable the 

commander to take administrative action. An action that might not have been an 

option if based solely only on a CLE report or position, may be available through 

findings from an NGB-JA/OCI investigation. Additional training of NGB-JA/OCI

investigators will continue annually and intended to result in better investigations. 
37

Better trained investigators and more thorough investigations may lead to stronger 

cases and thus, a greater level of accountability as appropriate.

Within the states, each TAG follows established policy and laws which include clear 

direction on offender accountability. Commanders and senior leaders support the 

policies of the CNGB and TAGs. Additionally, in many states, SAPR personnel and 

State SJA provide briefings on the precedence set on the conviction of offenders of 

sexual assault or the administrative actions taken upon them based on the state CMJ. 



The strong emphasis from senior leaders to ensure sexual assault offenders are held 

appropriately accountable for their actions, demonstrates the importance of working 

closely with the investigators, whether military or civilian, throughout the judicial 

process. Using the CMG effectively to manage each report of sexual assault is critical 

to the success of the SAPR program. The CMG meeting minutes are captured on the 

restricted NG SAPR GKO website. 



4. LOE 4—Advocacy/Victim Assistance--The objective of advocacy/victim 

assistance is to “deliver consistent and effective victim support, response, and 

reporting options.”

4.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Advocacy/Victim Assistance Endstate: 

“high quality services and support to instill confidence and trust, strengthen 

resilience, and inspire victims to report.” Include responsibilities established in 

DoDI 6400.07, enclosure 2.



The NG is committed to providing the best care and support possible for victims of 

sexual assault. To accomplish this objective, the NG takes a multi-dimensional 

approach. At the grass roots, SAPR personnel are provided with T32-specific Initial 

SARC and SAPR VA training developed by NGB to address the unique requirements 

for providing care and support within the states’ T32 construct. This course meets the 

core competencies and objectives as developed by DoD and pre-credentialing 

requirements of National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA), addresses the 

standards for victim assistance personnel specified in enclosure 2, DoD Instruction 

6400.7, November 25, 2013, and equips NG SAPR personnel with the knowledge and 

tools necessary to function in the T32 community-based environment. As a result of 

this T32-specific training, NG SAPR personnel are better prepared and more 

competent in providing the care and support to victims of sexual assault who may have 

fewer resources available to them than their active duty counterparts. To compensate 

for these resources inherent to the AC, the NG relies upon the relationships built with 

its community partners. These relationships are extremely important as many assets 

and resources available to the AC are only available to NG members when they are 

federalized. The end result is the victim of a sexual assault feels confident in the 

response to their needs and more comfortable in knowing they are being provided the 

highest level of care and support available to them.

The ARNG SHARP and ANG SAPR PMs systematically monitor and track the initial 

training and credentialing of their SAPR personnel, as well as the fulfillment of the 
38

annual refresher training requirements necessary for maintaining certification. All

states are required to track the status of required annual SAPR training within every 

unit in their state and report data to their respective Service PMs. 

The NG continued to establish partnerships with state, county and local community 

resources to help provide qualifying events and training opportunities that can be 

utilized for recertification of SAPR personnel. These collaborative efforts not only 

provide opportunities for high quality, specialized victim advocate skills training, but 

often help to identify and establish additional resources available for NG victims of 

sexual assault. An example is the partnership created with the ID Coalition Against 

Sexual and Domestic Violence and the ID Victim Assistance Academy.

 Members of the ID SAPR Office frequently partner with the Coalition to provide 

training, outreach and project collaboration. The Coalition coordinates and 

organizes services and resources throughout the state to provide comprehensive 

care to victims. 

 Members of the ID SAPR team are trained members of the Academy. The 

Academy is a unique academic opportunity involving multi-disciplinary professionals 

learning and leading together to better serve the needs of ID crime victims and is 

held every two years.

One of the major initiatives to come to fruition in FY14 was the establishment of the NG 

SVC program. In November 2013, the CNGB directed the NGB-JA to establish a NG 

SVC Program. During the December 2013 GSLC, NGB Chief Counsel briefed senior 

leaders on the SVC Program available in the AC, explaining how the program provides 

legal representation and advice to Guard members facing legal issues arising out of 

reported sexual assault. As this program was unavailable for T32 NG members, Chief 

Counsel presented information on the NG SVC Program that was under development. 

The briefing included a discussion on the requirement to establish this capability in the 

NG as mandated by the NDAA for FY13 and the 14 August 2013, Secretary of Defense 

(SecDef) Memorandum, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response.” The ideal 

structure for the SVC program, SVC requirements and qualifications, and scope of 

responsibilities were also reviewed. Further, senior leaders were briefed that the Joint 

NG SVC representation will be available to all NG victims of sexual assault. At the 

time of this presentation, Minnesota and Wisconsin were in the process of developing 

their own state’s SVC program. 

 Wisconsin National Guard Special Victims’ Counsel Program, October 

2013. 

Wisconsin’s TAG, Major General Donald P. Dunbar, was determined to make the 

message clear, “There is no place for sexual assault in the Wisconsin National 

Guard.” The WI TAG was also adamant about extending the services and support 

provided to WING members serving on T32 or state active duty who are sexually 

assaulted by another Service member. Based on a program that was piloted by the 
39

AF, WI became the first state in the nation to implement the SVC program for its 

Guard members. The program provides a JA licensed to practice law in WI to help 

the victims, who file an Unrestricted Report, navigate the investigatory and military 

justice processes. Both the WI Army and Air NG assigned a senior JA to serve as a 

SVC. The SVC advocates for the victim’s best interests, and as such, may help 

empower the victim to continue cooperating with the investigation and prosecution 

of the alleged assailant. 

 Minnesota (MN) National Guard Special Victims’ Counsel Program, 

December 2013. 

The MNNG became the second state to provide special legal counsel for victims of 

sexual assault. The MNNG hired a JA to serve as an SVC. The individual 

possessed experience in both military and civilian trial practice to help guide victims 

through the often time long and difficult process to bring an offender to justice. 

 Establishment of NG Special Victims’ Counsel Program, May 2014. 

o Although the establishment of a SVC program was a mandate for the 

Military Services, the CNGB directed like services be available to Guard 

members who were victims of sexual assault. Through additional funding 

support from DoD SAPRO, NG SVCs are now available for eligible victims of 

sexual assault to provide confidential legal representation related to issues that 

may arise as a result of being sexually assaulted. A “Notification of National 

Guard Special Victims’ Counsel Services” was distributed to inform the states of 

the following services the SVC may provide: 

 Legal representation and advocacy on issues related to the military 

criminal or administrative disposition of the sexual assault, such as 

attending interviews with military investigators and military trial and defense 

counsels, participating in courts martial and assisting with drafting victim 

impact statements. 

 Referral to Trial Defense Service or Area Defense Counsel for collateral 

misconduct, if necessary. 

 Advice to client on personal civil legal affairs that have a direct nexus 

to the sexual assault. 

 Advice to client on filing an expedited transfer requests, requesting 

military and/or civilian protection orders and obtaining records related to the 

sexual assault investigation or case disposition. 

 Traditional legal assistance services. 

 Individuals eligible for NG SVC assistance include: NG members on 
40

T10 or T32 duty status, on SAD with a NG Nexus, not in a duty status but 

with a NG Nexus, Dual-Status Technician with a NG Nexus, and 

dependents of NG members if either the Service or the NG has jurisdiction 

over the alleged perpetrator. 

o The SVC program consists of a cadre of specially-trained JAs, who 

represent a client’s interests on issues arising out of the sexual assault. The 

NGB-JA/SVC was quickly created and tasked with the responsibility to stand up 

the NG SVC Program. In light of the complexity of establishing a national SVC 

program to support NG sexual assault victims in the States, they developed a 

phased approach. This approach allowed the program to immediately respond 

to existing SVC requests, and to design a sustainable plan to gradually grow 

the NG SVC Program.

o The NG SVC Program reached its operational status on15 May 2014. Since 

then, NGB-JA/SVC has received positive feedback from many senior leaders, 

military prosecutors and investigators, and clients. The Regional SVCs were 

commended on their excellent legal acumen, quality of legal representation, 

and professional, yet unyielding, legal advocacy. Since becoming fully 

operational, the NG SVC Program has experienced a 47 percent monthly case 

increase, equating to 20 new cases per month. This rate of increase is 

indicative of the strong confidence in the legal services provided by Regional 

NG SVCs and their positive reputation.

o In order to build the appropriate program infrastructure, NGB-JA/SVC 

conducted a series of assessments. To project the manpower needs for the 

phased approach, they evaluated the number and characteristics of NG sexual 

assault reports from FY09 to FY13, against Army and Air NG force strength. 

Based on information gleaned from the assessments, it was determined that a 

regional breakdown of the States, comparable to the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency and defense counsel regions, would support the most 

effective use of human and financial resources. These regions include 

Northwest, West, Midwest, South-Central, Upper Midwest, Southeast, East and 

Northeast.

o NGB-JA/SVC studied the characteristics of the NG sexual assault cases, 

focusing on the duration and intensity of legal support required, lessons learned 

and best practices reported by Service SVC programs, and feedback from the 

NG JA community. Based on this information, a centralized SVC program, 

similar to the AF SVC program structure, was developed to serve the States. In 

this structure, the full-time NG Regional SVC is situated within a state of the 

assigned region under the direction of the NGB-JA/SVC. This program 

infrastructure properly addressed potential challenges in resource support, SVC 

service accessibility, utilization, and programmatic accountability, as well as 

preserving the independence of the SVC legal representation.

 Improvements to Victim/Survivor Services and Resources Available. 

Members of the NG SAPR Staff within the states continued to be creative, 

innovative and resourceful in their quest to provide quality support and resources for 

victims of sexual assault. 

o Colorado SARC was instrumental in the creation of the CO NG Joint 

Services SART. This is a partnership between three DoD programs and 

include Buckley Air Force Base, the 140th Fighter Wing, CO ANG and JFHQCO ARNG. Through this team, military members receive care and services of 

seven SARCs, Alternate SARCs, and JFHQ-State VAC and 75 (AC, NG and 

Reserves) D-SAACP certified civilian and military victim advocates.

o CMD SARB initiative: CMD SAPR VAs are provided support kits containing 

references, resources, checklists and forms necessary for a rapid response. 

o State specific SA Response Checklist. Idaho developed a state specific 

checklist for the SARCs and SAPR VAs to use when working with a survivor of 

sexual assault. The checklist helped to assure survivors are provided the best 

care possible.

Although the NG possesses organic medical assets, their availability and capability to 

respond to victims of sexual assault in a timely manner is very limited while in T32 

status. Capitalizing on the available assets within the community, many of the states 

have established MOUs or MOAs with local medical treatment centers, local hospitals, 

college and university medical clinics, rape crisis centers, and other facilities already 

prepared to respond appropriately to a victim of sexual assault. Every attempt is made 

to include the requirement for a SAFE conducted by a SANE or a member of the 

medical staff trained to conduct a SAFE in the MOU or MOA. 

4.2 Describe your progress in allowing Reserve Component Service members 

who are victims of sexual assault while on active duty to remain on active duty 

status to obtain the treatment and support afforded active duty members. 



NG members who are sexually assaulted while on T10 duty status fall under the 

responsibility of the AC Service. Procedures to retain the Guard member on active 

duty for the purpose of obtaining treatment and support are executed by the Service. 



However, at the victim’s request, the ARNG and ANG will coordinate with the 

respective Service and follow policies and procedures as specified to ensure that 

Guard members, who were victims of sexual assault while on active duty, are afforded 

the opportunity to remain on active duty orders to receive the appropriate medical care 

and support. 



Through coordination between the AC SARC and appropriate FT JFHQ-State SARC or 

Wing SARC, the NG takes every measure to ensure continuity of care is provided to 
42

Guard members returning to T32 duty status from active duty status. 



4.3 Describe your progress in ensuring that a member of the Reserve 

Components who is a victim of sexual assault by another member of the Reserve 

Components has timely access to a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator. 



NG SARCs follow the processes and procedures outlined in DoD Instruction 6495.02. 

As the only RC with its own stand-alone SAPR program, the NG established policies 

and procedures for responding to victims of sexual assault in the NG. To ensure 

knowledge of resources available, each state developed its own communication plan to 

disseminate specific information on its program, identification of SAPR personnel, 

contact information, basic procedures for reporting a sexual assault, and other relevant 

information, as well as posting the Safe Helpline number through multiple media. 

Specific instructions are provided in CNGB instructions and manuals regarding the 

responsibilities for the commander of the victim and the subject. Checklists are also 

provided for commanders in these specific roles. Additionally, all unit members are 

provided annual SAPR training, and pre–deployment and post-deployment SAPR 

briefs, which include information on who to contact in the event of a sexual assault.

When a sexual assault occurs while the Guard member is on T10 status, the applicable 

Service will establish the procedures to ensure the victim has timely access to a SARC. 

NG SARCs work closely with all Service SARCs as necessary to ensure continuity of 

care for Guard members returning from active duty. All NG members are provided the 

cellular telephone number of the SARC to ensure a timely response is provided to the 

victim of a sexual assault. 

4.4 List the total number of full-time SARC/SAPR VAs serving at brigade or 

equivalent level. If not at 100%, describe your efforts to achieve 100% fill. 

Each of the states has a FT JFHQ-State SARC. This position may be filled by a 

member of the ARNG or ANG. Each JFHQ-State is now authorized a FT JFHQ-State 

VAC to assist the JFHQ-State SARC in a number duties. FT SAPR personnel 

currently assigned to the JFHQ-State positions include:

JFHQ-State SARCs (Technician) = 46

JFHQ-State SARCs (AGR) = 4

JFHQ-State SARCs (ADOS) = 2

JFHQ-State SARCs (Civilian) = 0

VACs (Technician) = 42

VACs (AGR) = 2

VACs (ADOS) = 3

VACs (Civilian) = 0

The ANG currently has (84) personnel assigned as FT SARCs and (84) additional duty 
43

Alternate SARCs at the wing level. In most cases, the primary wing SARC is the Wing 

Executive Support Officer (WESO) and performs their SARC duties in addition to other 

assigned duties. Additionally, there are at least two SAPR VAs assigned at each wing. 

FT SAPR personnel currently assigned within the ANG include:

Primary SARCs (Technician) = 67

Primary SARCs (Active Guard Reserve [AGR] = 15

Primary SARCs (Drill-Status Guardsmen [DSG]) = 2

Primary SARCs (Civilian) = 0

Alternate SARCs (Technicians) = 50

Alternate SARCs (AGR) = 11

Alternate SARCs (DSG) = 16

Alternate SARCs (Civilian) = 7

VAs (Technician) = 137

VAs (AGR) = 169

VAs (DSG) = 79

VAs (Civilian) = 7

4.5 Describe what measures have been taken by your Service to ensure that 

Service members are informed in a timely manner of the member’s option to 

request a Military Protective Order (MPO) from the command of assignment. 

Include documentation that requires law enforcement agents to document MPOs 

in their investigative case files, to include documentation for Reserve 

Component personnel in title 10 status.

All NG SAPR personnel receive instruction during the T32 Specific Initial SARC and 

SAPR VA training on how to interview a victim of sexual assault and the completion of 

the DD Form 2910, “Victim Reporting Preference Statement”. When explaining the 

items in section 1d, “Other Important Considerations for Unrestricted and Restricted 

Reports,” SAPR personnel are trained to provide additional information to the victim on 

requesting a MPO, Civilian Protective Order (CPO), or both. Some states and wings 

have established checklists or internal Standard Operating Procedures for their SAPR 

personnel to use while they are interviewing the victim to ensure all items are 

discussed and processes described.

Within the CNGB Manual currently being developed, procedures are provided 

regarding the issuance of a MPO and CPO. As part of these procedures and during 

the CMG meetings, the appropriate law enforcement agency is provided with the MPO 

and CPO documentation to include in the investigative case file. In most cases, this 

will either be CLE or NGB-JA/OCI, as previously indicated, a MCIO does not exist in 

the NG. 

4.6 Describe your efforts to establish processes for reviewing credentials, 
44

qualifications, and refresher training for victim-sensitive personnel positions. 

Describe your Service’s process to address inappropriate behavior 

demonstrated by those in victim-sensitive personnel positions. Include process 

for revocation of certification if appropriate. 

As part of the NG SAPR metrics maintained on GKO, ARNG and ANG SAPR PMs 

submit a monthly report to NG-J1-SAPR on the status of SAPR personnel relating to 

mandatory initial and refresher training and Defense-Sexual Assault Advocate 

Certification Program (D-SAACP) certification. These reports are a compilation of the 

reports sent to the applicable PM from the JFHQ-State and Wing SARCs. 

CNGB Notice 0401, 24 April 2014, “National Guard Implementation of Defense Sexual 

Assault Advocate Certification Program,” provides the procedures and requirements for 

obtaining, renewing, and revoking D-SAACP certification. NG-SAPR staff reviews all 

D-SAACP certifications of NG personnel and interacts with NOVA, if needed to 

suspend or revoke certifications based on inactivity, change in eligibility to serve as a 

SARC or SAPR VA, or misconduct through the process described in the CNGB Notice 

0401. The process as described in CNGB Notice 0401 is as follows:

b. Revoking D-SAACP Certification. Before revoking certification, a commander 

(defined as the first O6-level officer in the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA chain 

of command; or supervisor at the grade of GS-15, for SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs, or 

SAPR VAs in technician status) must meet these NG standards:

(1) On receipt of a complaint, the appropriate commander will:

(a) Ensure a timely and appropriate inquiry is conducted.

(b) Notify the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA in writing that a 

complaint has been received, an inquiry has been initiated, and their authority to 

perform SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, and SAPR VA duties is suspended until reinstated 

by the responsible commander.

1. Complaints Made Against Technicians. Consult the Human 

Resources Office (HRO) and State JA before notifying the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or 

SAPR VA, to ensure any additional procedural requirements are appropriately 

addressed prior to and during the inquiry.

2. Complaints Made Against Non-technicians. Consult State JA before 

notifying the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA to ensure procedural requirements 

are appropriately addressed prior to and during the inquiry.

(c) Notifying appropriate stakeholders.

1. Inquiries Involving SARCs. Notify the ARNG or ANG SAPR PM; the 

SAPR program office then notifies NG-J1-SAPR.
45

2. Inquiries Involving JFHQ-State VACs or SAPR VAs. Notify the 

supervisory SARC; the SARC then notifies the ARNG or ANG SAPR PM, and the 

SAPR program office then notifies NG-J1-SAPR.

(d) Report any and all allegations of unrestricted reports of sexual assault 

(to include attempts) to the appropriate MCIO or civilian law enforcement agency.

1. Inform TAG or the CG of the District of Columbia NG of all unrestricted 

reports declined by the MCIO or local law enforcement for considered referral to the 

NGB-JA/OCI.

2. Refrain from conducting internal command directed investigations on 

sexual assault (specifically, referrals to appointed command investigators or inquiry 

officers) or delaying immediate contact of the responsible law enforcement agency 

while attempting to assess the credibility of the report.

(2) The inquiry process will follow established adverse action, administrative 

inquiry, or investigative NG procedures (for example, NGB-JA/OCI or commanddirected investigation for non-sexual misconduct allegations, or technician inquiries in 

accordance with reference d) to determine whether the D-SAACP certified SARC, 

JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA has completed one or more of the actions outlined in 

Attachment 4, paragraph b, of reference a, or otherwise failed to maintain suitability 

requirements in accordance with NG-specific guidance.

(3) If the commander finds, in consultation with HRO and State JA, there is a 

preponderance of evidence to support the allegation, the commander will then 

determine whether to suspend or revoke the D-SAACP certification.

(4) The commander will immediately notify the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or 

SAPR VA in writing when suspending or revoking a D-SAACP certification and provide 

a copy of the notification to the ARNG or ANG SAPR PM. This letter must include the 

following:

(a) Effective date of suspension or revocation of certification.

(b) Grounds for suspension or revocation, including the specific misconduct, 

ethical violation, substandard performance, professional or personal impairment, or the 

reason the commander lost faith and confidence in the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or 

SAPR VA to perform assigned duties.

(c) Direction for SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA to surrender their DSAACP certificate and wallet identification card to the first person in the chain of 

command or supervisor within 24 hours of receipt of the letter.
46

(d) Description of the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA’s right to 

appeal the decision to suspend or revoke certification in accordance with NG appeals 

procedures in paragraph 5.e.

(5) Upon receiving the commander’s letter, the recipient SAPR PM immediately 

forwards a request to suspend or revoke the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA’s 

D-SAACP certification, as well as a copy of the commander’s letter, to NG-J1-SAPR.

(6) Upon receiving the SAPR PM’s request, NG-J1-SAPR immediately will:

(a) Notify DoD SAPRO to take appropriate action to suspend or revoke DSAACP certification.

(b) Take action to suspend or revoke access to DSAID.

(7) The commander provides a written report to the ARNG or ANG SAPR PM, 

as applicable, within three business days of concluding an inquiry. The report must 

document:

(a) Complaint received.

(b) Facts surrounding the complaint.

(c) Findings made during the inquiry process.

(d) Commander’s decision to sustain, suspend, or revoke the SARC, JFHQState VAC, or SAPR VA’s D-SAACP certification.

(8) Upon receiving the commander’s written report, the SAPR PM will forward 

the report to NG-J1-SAPR.

(9) NG-J1-SAPR may initiate or continue the revocation process when the 

commander fails to seek revocation once a violation is identified; NG-J1-SAPR must 

coordinate with TAG or CG. If necessary, TAG or the CG may request an investigation 

by NGB-JA/OCI.

c. Non-Punitive Certification Closure. SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA 

certification may be closed in a non-punitive manner by command when the SARC, 

JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA:

(1) Submits a written request for closure.

(2) No longer serves in the role of SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA.

(3) No longer is supervised in the role of SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA.
47

d. SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, and SAPR VA Self-Reporting. NG personnel 

performing the duties of a SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA will immediately selfreport if involved in an incident that would invalidate their current National Agency 

Check (NAC), Service suitability, or commander or supervisor recommendation.

(1) SARCs. SARCs report to their respective:

(a) TAG, CG, or Wing Commander.

(b) SAPR PM.

(2) JFHQ-State VACs and SAPR VAs. JFHQ-State VACs and SAPR VAs 

report to their respective:

(a) Appointing commander.

(b) SARC.

e. Appeal of D-SAACP Certification Revocation. SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs, and 

SAPR VAs have the right to appeal a decision to revoke D-SAACP certification.

(1) The appeal request is submitted in writing to the next level in the revocation 

authority’s chain of command; the appeal authority must be at the minimum rank of 

colonel.

(2) The appeal authority will review all documentation, interview pertinent 

personnel, and render a decision within 30 days of appeal request submission.

(3) The appeal authority’s decision is final and not subject to further review.

f. Unfounded Complaint. If a complaint proves unfounded, the following steps are 

completed:

(1) The commander reinstates the SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA 

through re-issuing the appointment letter and submits a request to the SAPR PM for 

reinstatement of D-SAACP certification and reestablishment of DSAID access.

(2) Upon receiving the commander’s request, the program office submits a 

request to NG-J1-SAPR to reinstate D-SAACP certification and reestablish DSAID

access.

(3) Upon receiving the program office’s request, NG-J1-SAPR submits a 

request to DoD SAPRO to reinstate D-SAACP certification. Once reinstated, NG-J1-

SAPR reestablishes DSAID access.

Additionally, at the Wing level, the Wing SARC and Commander or Vice Commander 
48

review all qualifications and applications. Inappropriate behavior by members in victimsensitive positions (such as victim advocates) is immediately handled by the SARC in 

conjunction with the Commander or Vice Commander and member’s supervisor. The 

procedures identified in CNGB Notice 0401 are followed to ensure the matter is 

investigated thoroughly and the appropriate measures are taken regarding the 

individuals certification. Service-specific instructions are followed to meet the 

requirement for the removal of Special Experience Identifier code following the 

revocation of the certification.

4.7 Describe your progress in ensuring all SARC and SAPR VAs are D-SAACP 

certified prior to performing the duties of a SARC and SAPR VA. 

All potential NG SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs and SAPR VAs must follow the procedures 

as described in CNGB Notice 0401 to obtain D-SAACP certification. These procedures 

for meeting D-SAACP certification requirements are identified below:

 1. Requirements for All Applicants. All NG applicants must complete applicable 

sections on DD Form 2950. The application includes:



 a. Signed D-SAACP SARC or SAPR VA Code of Professional Ethics, as 

applicable.



 b. Two signed letters of recommendations.



 (1) SARCs and JFHQ-State VACs.



 (a) Letter of recommendation signed by the commanding officer in the 

SARC or JFHQ-State VAC’s chain of command at a minimum rank or grade of O-6 or 

GS-15. This letter includes the date the applicant’s NAC background check was 

completed. ARNG and ANG commanders must comply with all additional suitability 

requirements of their respective Service.



 (b) Letter of recommendation signed by the supervisor in the SARC or 

JFHQ-State VAC’s chain of command at a minimum rank or grade of O-3, E-7, CW2, 

or GS-11.



 (2) SAPR VAs.



 (a) Letter of recommendation signed by the supervisory SARC.



 (b) Letter of recommendation signed by the supervisor in the SAPR VA’s 

chain of command at a minimum rank or grade of O-3, E-7, CW2, or GS-11. This letter 

includes the date the applicant’s NAC background check was completed and Servicespecific suitability requirements were met.


49

 2. Requirements for New Applicants. In addition to the requirements in 5.a.(1), the 

application includes:



 a. Documentation of 40 hours of National Guard Bureau SARC and SAPR VA 

Course, National Advocate Credentialing Program pre-approved training. 



 b. Memorandum verifying required hours of sexual assault victim advocacy 

experience for applicants to Levels II, III, and IV.



 3. Requirements for Renewing Applicants. In addition to the requirements in 5.a.(1), 

the application includes:



 a. Documentation of 32 hours of D-SAACP related continuing education, completed 

every two years.



 (1) Prevention and Advocacy Training. NG applicants complete 30 hours of 

training in topics relevant to their role as a SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, or SAPR VA.



 (a) SARCs and JFHQ-State VACs receive refresher training from Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response in the Directorate of Manpower and Personnel, 

National Guard Joint Staff (NG-J1-SAPR); the Department of Defense (DoD) Sexual 

Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO); the Services; or qualified civilian 

agencies and organizations.



 (b) SAPR VAs receive refresher training from SARCs or SARC-identified 

approved alternative instruction.



 (2) Ethics Training. NG applicants receive two hours of victim advocacy ethics 

training provided or approved by NG-J1-SAPR.



 b. Memorandum verifying required hours of sexual assault victim advocacy 

experience for applicants seeking a higher level of certification.

Oversight of this process includes NG-J1-SAPR, ARNG and ANG SAPR PMs, 

Commanders and SARCs, as appropriate. To obtain D-SAACP certification, all 

necessary forms must be submitted to the NG-J1-SAPR NOVA liaison for submission. 

Communication remains open during this process until certification is obtained from 

NOVA. 

As part of the NG SAPR metrics on GKO, the number of SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs 

and SAPR VAs that are D-SAACP certified are tracked. The PMs are responsible for 

sorting the NOVA list by state. This information is collected and updated on a quarterly 

basis and is used to create the Quarterly Reports available to each TAG and 

instrumental in identifying trends within the program.


50

To ensure ANG SAPR personnel receive and maintain their D-SAACP certification 

prior to performing their duties, all certification requirements information is maintained 

on the ANG SAPR website. Updates are made as necessary and reviewed on a 

regular basis to confirm that all SAPR personnel are properly certified prior to 

performing in their SAPR role. 



The ARNG has the JFHQ-State SARC track the D-SAACP certification process for all 

SARCs and SAPR VAs assigned to them. Once certification is obtained, the SAPR 

personnel report their certification number to the JFHQ-State SARC for monitoring 

purposes and as a trigger to allow the individual to be assigned to provide victim 

advocacy.

A SARC will not assign a SAPR VA to a case until the certification process is complete 

and the individual has obtained D-SAACP certification.

SARC and SAPR VA D-SAACP identification numbers are included in DSAID for those 

personnel assigned cases. Tracking of certification renewal dates can be monitored in 

DSAID by NG-J1-SAPR and the JFHQ-State and Wing SARC. 



4.8 Describe your continued efforts to ensure that the 24/7 DoD Safe Helpline has 

accurate contact information for on-base SAPR resources (i.e., Chaplains, 

SARCs, Military Police, Medical Personnel).



NG-J1-SAPR staff has the responsibility to update information for all NG JFHQ-State 

SARCS on the 24/7 DoD Safe Helpline website. This information is updated regularly 

when contact information for SAPR personnel changes. 



The JFHQ-State SARC is the point of contact for their state NG (ARNG and ANG). The 

ARNG SAPR PM provides state personnel updates required for the Safe Helpline 

contact information. The NG-J1-SAPR office point of contact makes all updates 

required on the Safe Helpline website. 

4.9 Describe your efforts to publicize various SAPR resources, such as DoD Safe

Helpline, to all Service Members. 

From the NGB level to state and unit level, various methods were used to disseminate 

information on SAPR resources available to the Guard member. NG-J1-SAPR and 

NGB-PA coordinated efforts and developed a SAPR communication plan to establish 

standardized SAPR messaging and to identify how best to distribute the information. 

At the NGB level, PSAs were widely used and often broadcast on NGB’s “On Every 

Front” and the Pentagon Channel. Taking advantage of an online publication to help 

advertise the DoD Safe HelpRoom, NG-J1-SAPR coordinated for a full page 

advertisement in three issues of the “GX”, The Guard Experience Magazine. 

Both the ARNG and ANG used a variety of efforts to publicize SAPR resources. 
51

 Links to varying SAPR resources were placed and updated on every state NG

website, NG Wing website and SharePoint sites. These links included the DoD 

Safe Helpline, DoD SAPRO, ARNG SHARP, ANG SAPR and NG SAPR homepage, 

and a host of local resources available based on the state or locality.

 Annual flyers, tri-folds and wallet cards were distributed at special events, 

activities, and varying times throughout the year to provide pertinent information on 

SAPR resources for a specific Wing, unit or location. Other material offered at 

these events included locally purchased items such as magnets, coffee cup holders 

and other similar merchandise to help publicize websites and other SAPR resources 

available to the NG member. 

 During weekend drills, display tables were often set up and loaded with SAPR 

materials for Guard members to take. SAPR focused posters were exhibited on unit 

bulletin boards and around the base, armory, and facilities. These posters included 

information such as contact information on the DoD Safe Helpline, local crisis center 

line, Chaplain, DPH, SAPR VAs, Wing SARCs and JFHQ-State SARCs. 

Occasionally, SAPR posters were e-mailed to all wing members. 

 To help publicize the DoD Safe Helpline, brochures were distributed at 

customer help desks, removable “pull-tabs” on the wing’s SAPR posters were 

available for unit members to pull and take with them, and phone and e-mail 

message systems provided relevant contact information.

 Facebook was another medium used to help inform Guard members of SAPR 

resources available, especially within local communities or regions. 

4.10 Describe your progress in ensuring victims are afforded their legal rights, 

protections, and services. 



The assigned SARC or SAPR VA who makes the initial contact with a victim of sexual 

assault often uses that meeting to explain DD Form 2910 and to inform the victim of all 

medical, legal, and reporting options available to them. These options include 

requesting an expedited transfer, initiating an MPO and CPO, and requesting an SVC. 

To ensure SAPR personnel are well versed on these topics, detailed information is 

provided and discussed during NG T32-specific Initial SARC and SAPR VA training. 

Checklists are also provided at the initial training to assist SARCs and SAPR VAs in 

providing the victim with all the resources and options available to them. These types 

of best practices are routinely shared during the Regional SAPRAC meetings. 

During SARC and SAPR VA Refresher training, these topics, along with other updates 

are presented to adequately prepare NG SAPR personnel to provide the best support 

possible to the victim.



4.11 Describe your progress to improve the victim care services at Joint Bases, 
52

in Joint Environments, and for the Reserve Components. 



By virtue of its unique structure as a state joint-service organization, the NG routinely 

demonstrates the collaboration and cooperation between the ARNG and ANG in 

varying operations and activities at home and abroad. The SAPR program is no 

exception. The SAPR Staff located within any state to include the JFHQ-State SARC, 

Wing SARCs, JFHQ-State VAC and all NG SAPR VAs are experts at maximizing 

limited state resources and accentuating the cross-service joint response capability for

a victim of sexual assault. A situation unique to the NG is having a Soldier or Airmen 

that drills away from his or her home of record, sometimes driving many hours on drill 

weekends. At least three states are addressing this situation to ensure sexual assault 

victims and survivors receive timely support. These states have established a locator 

map which includes the home locations of all ARNG and ANG SAPR VAs within the 

state. Examples include: 

 The CMD SARB mapped the geographical locations of over 115 credentialed 

VA’s and developed an area coverage methodology to ensure border-to-border, 

cross component advocacy.

 The ID SAPR Office is developing a map of the state that documents the home 

of record of each of the SAPR VAs in order to ensure there is good coverage 

throughout the state. This will help in assigning a victim advocate to a survivor, 

ensuring they live in close proximity to each other for easier access. 

 Nebraska NG posted a map of the state on their GKO website that identifies the 

locations of their victim advocates. It also includes the following disclaimer: 

“Although each SAPR VA is represented in a certain geographical or unit specific 

location, any SAPR VA is able to assist and refer a victim of sexual assault or 

domestic violence anywhere in the state to the appropriate resources.” 

In order to enhance the ability to respond promptly to the needs or wishes of a sexual 

assault victim, the victim advocate assigned to respond may be based on location 

rather than service affiliation. 



Where applicable, such as at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts (MA) and 

Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, the NG SARC, JFHQ-State VAC, and SAPR VA 

work to create or enhance existing relationships with other SAPR personnel located on

the base. Although the precise manner and degree to which these relationships may 

grow are dependent upon the joint base or joint environment, provided below are 

several examples of how victim care services were improved at a joint base, joint 

environment and within a State Military Department.

 After having served as the MANG JFHQ-State Alternate SARC and years of 

experience at the joint level, the newly hired JFHQ-State VAC at the 66th Air Base 

Group immediately established new written policy to professionalize victim 

advocacy roles of the SARC and SAPR VA assigned to Hanscom AFB. The result 
53

was standardized sexual assault response to victims, which improved the 

management and facilitated the coordination of care process for at-risk Guard 

members. The base also saw an increase in SAPR VAs by 200 percent by 

increasing the availability of the 40-hour mandatory initial training courses. The 

JFHQ-State VAC delivered a constant and effective training and response program 

by hiring six new facilitators to provide annual prevention training and mandatory

unit level training. The JFHQ-State VAC also integrated community resources into 

the SAPR program, including Home Base Program, Jane Doe, Inc., and Project 

New Hope. These partnerships helped to offer additional services to the victims of 

sexual assault. 

Improvements were also made in the area of awareness. The Hanscom SAPR 

website was established, along with a SAPR distribution email, and the creation of a 

Hanscom SAPR logo. An awareness and prevention training, “In Her Words,” was 

provided for all E-7s and above to help create the sense of urgency for prevention 

and to increase risk identification and mitigation. Nationally recognized SMEs were 

invited to speak at the base on sexual assault. Every effort was made by the SAPR 

staff to offer a number of initiatives to engage the five SAPR LOEs.

 The CMD is a diverse, community-based organization composed of four pillars: 

the California Army National Guard, the California Air National Guard, the California 

State Military Reserve and the California Youth and Community Programs. The 

CMD SARB is an organization that not only excelled at meeting the requirements 

according to regulation, but through innovative ideas and collaborative efforts with 

the civilian community and throughout the State Military Department, expanded 

prevention efforts, assured compassionate victim response, and ensured 

perpetrators faced justice. These efforts, along with their SAAM events, resulted in 

a 69 percent drop in reported assaults, with reports in the last nine months involving 

cases older than seven years. The program’s prevention successes demonstrate 

the trust inspired by the members of the CMD. Listed below are some of the 

initiatives they established.

o Appointed a full-time, trained sexual assault investigator in the Provost 

Marshall’s Office (PMO) to track cases, expedite civil investigations, and obtain 

timely and accurate updates for victims. 

o The PMO is instituting Live Scan for the SAPR VAs and SARCs. This 

system will provide continuous monitoring for persons in positions of trust, 

expanding the current process of checking for past improprieties. 

o The team strengthened program services by producing a confidential client 

evaluation and incorporated a member feedback system as an essential 

element for program improvement. 

o To increase victim support, three SJAs completed the SVC training and are 

now fully qualified and prepared to fulfill this role.
54

o The SARB mapped the geographical locations of the more than 115 

credentialed SAPR VAs and developed an area coverage methodology to 

ensure border-to-border, cross component advocacy. 

o Upon appointment, State SAPR VAs are provided response kits containing 

references, resources, checklists, and forms necessary for a rapid response. 

o Working hand-in-hand with the California state legislative liaison and 

participating in hearings, the SARB helped to educate the state legislature on 

MST. The team also collaborated on Senate Bill 1422 language, which was 

recently signed into law by the governor. This bill mandates the referral of 

sexual assault allegations for investigation to the civilian law enforcement. 

o Implemented a state award program to recognize the dedicated service of 

SAPR VAs. 

 The Colorado JFHQ-State SARC created the Colorado NG Joint Services 

SART. This partnership exists between three DoD programs and include Buckley 

Air Force Base; 140th Fighter Wing, Colorado Air NG; and, JFHQ-CO ARNG. 

Through this team, military members receive care and services of seven SARCs, 

Alternate SARCs, and JFHQ-State VACs and 75 (AC, NG and Reserve) D-SAACP 

certified civilian and military victim advocates. 

4.12 Describe your progress in strengthening participation in an integrated 

victim services network of care.



State SAPR personnel routinely coordinate with their DPH, Transition Assistance 

Advisor, State and unit Chaplains, State Surgeon and Medical Detachment, State SJAs

among others within the state NG. 

Another prime example of integration is the Connecticut (CT) Victim Support Team. 

In September 2013, the CTNG organized a Victim Support Team to provide military 

support in civilian courts to Guard members who are pursuing legal action against their 

assailants. The team consists of a JA, a Special Victims Investigator, JFHQ-StateSARC, SEEM, the JFHQ-State VAC, and the SAPR VA assigned to the case. The 

team’s intent is to demonstrate to their commitment to the well-being of the Guard 

member, even when off duty. The team only provides moral support; they do not 

provide legal counsel. Since its inception, this team has supported four CT Guard 

members.

4.13 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian victim response 

organizations to improve interoperability. 



As a community-based organization, the NG is uniquely designed for establishing 

partnerships with various organizations in virtually every community across this nation. 
55

The strength of NG personnel is enhanced through the collaborative efforts of the 

numerous military, governmental and civilian agencies and organizations whose goal is 

to help support sexual assault victims. 



 The state of IL is a prime example of the collaborative partnerships established 

between the NG and various organizations and agencies geared toward assisting 

the sexual assault victim in the recovery process. These include, but are not limited 

to, the following: 



o Michael Reese Health Trust 

o Health & Disability Advocates 

o Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault and its subsidiaries

o Transitional Living Services Veterans 

o Lindenwood University (Belleville), Education and Counseling Division 

o The Chicago School of Professional Psychology 

o Illinois Family Violence Coordinating Council 

o St Louis Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) (Suicide Prevention 

Coordinator, OIF and OEF Coordinator, MST Coordinator) 

o Hines VAMC (Suicide Prevention Coordinator, OIF and OEF Coordinator) 

o Marion VAMC (Suicide Prevention Coordinator, OIF and OEF Coordinator, 

MST Coordinator) 

o Captain James A. Lowell (Suicide Prevention Coordinator, MST 

Coordinator) 

o E. St. Louis, Springfield, Chicago, and Peoria Vet centers 

o United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps 

o NGB Psychological Health Program 

o Illinois Connections for Families of the Fallen 

o Braveheart Therapeutic Riding Center Lake and McHenry Veterans and 

Family Services 

o McHenry County Mental Health Board 
56

o National Able in Chicago 

o Children Home + Aid in Granite City 

o Chestnut Health Systems in Granite City 

o More specifically, Illinois ARNG and ANG established MOUs to provide 

insight into the care and advocacy received by an Illinois Guard member. 

Through this increased communication, the intent is to better assess and 

support a sexual assault victim’s needs. The basis of the MOU includes: 

 Illinois National Guard will: 

 Provide victims of sexual assault with basic referral information. 

 Notify the organization to arrange for free transportation of the 

sexual assault victim who agrees to receive support or services from 

that organization. 

 Provide a listing of resources available from the organization, to 

include telephone numbers and a general description of the services 

offered. 

 Provide information to the organization, as needed, on the 

resources available to victims of sexual assault provided by the ILNG, 

as well as other programs and agencies within the community. 

 Supporting Organizations (Growing Strong Sexual Assault Center, Safe 

Passage, Mutual Ground, Incorporated, The Center for Prevention of 

Abuse, The Vet Center Readjustment Counseling Services, and Prairie 

Center Against Sexual Assault) will: 

 Participate in military competence training provided by the ILNG 

SARCs.

 Contact the JFHQ-State SARC immediately upon receiving an 

ILNG member referral and when a staff member identifies a victim of 

sexual assault as a member of the ILNG. 

 Provide the same services to a NG member who is sexually assault 

as they would to all other clients, in accordance with the wishes and 

needs of the victim. 

 Work with the JFHQ-State SARC, when needed, to train ILNG first 

responders on resources available and processes pertinent to the 
57

effective care and support of victims. 

 Maine (ME) SAPR staff opened the doors for additional cooperation with Sexual 

Assault Nurse Examiners, CLE, District and US Attorney’s Offices, Victim Witness 

Specialist and other Victim Advocates. They also collaborate with ME VAMC’s MST 

program and Vet Center Staff. 

 Inaugural Retreat for Survivors of MST in Georgia. The Georgia NG in 

collaboration with Silver Lining Villages held a one-day retreat for 12 veterans of the 

Army, Army Reserve, ARNG, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. The women 

victims valued the Emotional Freedom Techniques or “tapping” sessions and the 

safe environment that was created. Recognizing that the stress of trauma from 

MST is a life-long battle, the retreat offered tools to reduce stress and a chance to 

interact with other survivors. The participants found the experience uplifting and life 

affirming. Receiving positive responses to a questionnaire, a second retreat is 

scheduled for two days based on recommendations from the participants.

 Collaborations with regional civilian SART. A majority of the States have 

established a relationship with their state SART. Listed below are several specific 

examples. 

o KYNG teamed up with the KY SART development committee to develop an 

SOP for establishing SARTs and Sexual Assault Interagency Committees 

across the state to ensure a multidisciplinary standard response in each 

community when responding to a sexual assault. This document was 

completed in mid-2014 and is now available for use across the state. The goal 

is to improve services in underserved communities and improve services and 

response for those Guard members who elect to pursue services outside the 

military in cases of sexual assault. 

o SCNG has teamed up with the SART in the Columbia SC area, which is 

comprised of local agencies that serve survivors of sexual assault. It is 

composed of agencies such as Richland County Sheriff’s Department, 

Columbia Police Department, Ft Jackson SHARP, Palmetto Richland Sexual 

Assault Nurse Examiners and Campus Police from varying insitutions, among 

others. 

Many of the relationships and collaborative efforts discussed in the Prevention Line of 

Effort are also relevant under this LOE. These examples identified above are a small 

sampling of the tremendous accomplishments made the NG SAPR personnel situated 

in the states. Cooperative agreements have been made with some colleges and 

universities allowing NG members who are sexually assaulted to receive medical care, 

to include a SAFE, regardless of their enrollment status at that institution. 

4.14 Provide an assessment of the implementation of your expedited victim 

transfer request policy. Include measures taken to ensure victims are informed 
58

in a timely manner of their right to request an expedited transfer, and challenges 

to the implementation of the policy. Documentation should be included as an 

appendix. 

All NG SAPR personnel who received the NG T32-specific initial SARC and SAPR VA 

training are provided with instruction on the timeliness of discussing the option of 

requesting an expedited transfer with the victim when they review the DD Form 2910 

with the victim. No known specific challenges have been identified within the NG as it 

relates to implementing this program.

4.14.1 Pertaining to temporary and/or permanent unit/duty expedited transfers 

(does NOT involve a PCS), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

Within the ARNG, the following information pertaining to temporary and permanent unit 

and duty expedited transfers is provided:

The number requested: 14

The number approved as the victim requested: 4 approved; 1 Pending

The number approved different than the victim requested: 0

The number denied and a summary of why: 0

The number moved within 30 days of approval: 4

The number moved after 30 days of approval: 1

4.14.2 Pertaining to permanent requested installation expedited transfers (does 

involve a PCS move), provide:

- The number requested

- The number approved as the victim requested

- The number approved different than the victim requested

- The number denied and a summary of why

- The number moved within 30 days of approval
59

- The number moved after 30 days of approval

No PCS moves were requested in the National Guard.

4.15 Describe your efforts to implement and enhance first responder training 

(e.g. sexual assault health care providers).



 Although the NG does possess organic medical units, at present, these medical 

personnel are not trained as sexual assault health care providers. CNGB policy 

currently in staffing places the responsibility for training Guard healthcare personnel 

with the NG Joint Surgeon’s office in concert with guidance from the active duty Army 

and Air Force health affairs directives. 



4.16 List the number of victims, if any, whose care was hindered due to lack of 

Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) kits or timely access to appropriate 

laboratory testing resources and describe the measure you took to remedy the 

situation. 

There are no known Guard members whose care was hindered due to the lack of 

SAFE kits or timely access to laboratory testing. 

4.17 Provide the following information about coverage for Sexual Assault 

Forensic Examinations for all Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs):

 A list of MTFs with the number and hours of emergency room coverage

 The number of full-time Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) assigned at 

each MTF under your respective jurisdiction that operates an emergency room 

24 hours per day

 A list of the number of qualified SAFE examiners by MTF, listed separately by 

employees and contractors, if any

 The number and types of providers (i.e. registered nurse, advanced practice 

registered nurse, medical doctor, physician assistant, independent duty 

corpsman)

 The dates of Service-certification to perform these exams (and/or national 

certification date) by provider

 The number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) assigned for sexual assault examiner 

response per facility and the types of providers assigned to those FTEs

 A listing of all MOU/MOA to provide SAFE services, with the location, distance 

from the facility, and execution and termination dates for each agreement 

 How many SAFE kits were processed and results used to inform command 

action



 The NG does not possess Medical Treatment Facilities for T32 operations and SANE. 

Coordination is made with civilian medical facilities, local rape crisis centers and other 

resources to provide medical care to the victim of sexual assault. All attempts are 

made to include facilities which perform sexual assault forensic exams. The NG does 
60

not process SAFE kits.

4.18 Provide information about any problems or challenges that have been 

encountered with MTFs during the previous year and the actions taken to 

improve the program or services. 

N/A to the NG as MTF’s do not exist within the structure.

4.19 Describe your future plans for delivering consistent and effective victim 

support, response, and reporting options.



The NG will continue to assess the effectiveness of the various aspects within the 

SAPR program. As necessary, courses of actions will be designed using an integrated 

approach to ensure the NG, as a joint-service entity, provides consistent, reliable, 

effective, timely, and competent support and resources to the victims of sexual assault. 

A primary goal is to publish CNGB Instruction, “Sexual Assault Prevention and 

Response Program,” within the first quarter of FY15. This publication will establish NG 

SAPR polices and define roles and responsibilities. Also expected in the first quarter of 

FY15 is the release of the” NG 2014 – 2016 Sexual Assault Prevention Strategy”. In 

the second quarter of FY15, the anticipated CNGB Manual, “Sexual Assault Prevention 

and Response Program Procedures,” is expected to be published. This publication will 

ensure standardization of the existing NG SAPR procedures. 

A review of the existing training program is ongoing to ensure it continues to meet DoD 

SAPRO core competencies and learning objectives. As mentioned earlier, another 

course, T32-specific SAPR Commander’s Course, is under development.

5. LOE—Assessment—The objective of assessment is to “effectively 

standardize, measure, analyze, assess, and report program progress.”

5.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Assessment Endstate: “responsive, 

meaningful, and accurate systems of measurement and evaluation into every 

aspect of the SAPR program.”



In FY13, the NG developed the series of joint metrics and measurements listed below 

to monitor and assess the NG SAPR program’s effectiveness according to the DoD 

Strategic Plan 5 LOEs as they are measureable within the NG. Collaborative work with 

the service directorates produced a dashboard of SAPR metrics with targeted 

thresholds and performance minimums. By analyzing the dashboard data, NG is able 

to determine the states that are performing at optimal levels. NGB is able to share the 

information with the state leadership and support TAG efforts to have an effective 

program. Criteria are being developed to determine what remedial and corrective 

action will occur based on whether or not there are repetitive issues or concerns with 

an individual state. Staff Assistance Visits (SAVs), additional training, or leadership 

engagement may be possible remedies. This information is collected and updated on 

a quarterly basis and is used to create the Quarterly Reports available to each TAG 
61

and is instrumental in identifying trends within the program. The NG SAPR Dashboard 

Requirements include:



LOE- Prevention

 Annual unit level SAPR and SHARP Training for ARNG ANG. 

 Annual Leadership Training.

o All training data for the ARNG is entered into, and ANG wings provide 

training data to ANG PM through GKO website submission.

LOE – Investigation

 Number of Investigators on orders with OCI to conduct sexual assault 

investigations.* 

 Investigators trained to conduct SA investigations.

o Number of investigators who completed special sexual assault investigator 

training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. 

 Number of OCI investigations conducted.*

 Number of cases vetted by OCI for investigation.*

 Timeline for investigations to be initiated.*

 Timeline for investigative report to be sent to the requesting state following 

collection of all evidence.*

*Data points are tracked by NGB-JA/OCI and not included on the Dashboard

LOE – Accountability

 Unrestricted Cases Investigated.

o Referral to Investigative Agency entered in DSAID by SARC.

 Unrestricted Cases Not Investigated.

o No referral to investigative Agency entered in DSAID by SARC.

LOE – Advocacy

 All SARCs and SAPR VAs Certified.
62

o All SARCs and SAPR VAs have applied for D-SAACP. PMs responsible for 

sorting NOVA listing by state.

LOE – Assessment

 Unrestricted Cases entered correctly with all available elements complete in 

DSAID.

o Cases entered into DSAID within 48 hours of report received.

 Victim Demographics include date of birth, gender, race, affiliation, duty 

status, pay grade, and whether the victim was in the military at time of 

assault

 Subject Data include gender, subject type, and affiliation.

 Incident Detail complete with the exception of type of offense 

investigated



 JFHQ-State SARCs and Wing SARCs are certified, credentialed and have 

DSAID access

 JFHQ-State SARCs conduct monthly CMG 

o CMG Agenda and minutes are prepared in the proper format and uploaded 

into GKO Portal by 15nd of each month.

Other important assessment activities include the regular monitoring of the DSAACP certification requirements, the number of SAPR personnel assigned, and 

positions that are vacant due to deployments or turnover.

The NG SAPR program is only as effective as the SAPR programs that exist in the 

States. Staff Assistance Visits (SAVs) are conducted by NGB staff by invitation from 

state leadership and are not viewed as inspections, compulsory, or punitive. The intent 

of the SAV is to provide assistance and guidance before the program becomes 

dysfunctional or suffers any serious problems. NGB works with the States to 

strengthen the weakest areas and implement best practice features that might be 

missing. Over the past three fiscal years, a total of five SAVs were requested and 

conducted to include one SAV in FY 2014. The criteria for identifying when a SAV will 

be offered are listed below: 

 SAPR Personnel Vacancy

o Any state that has the JFHQ SARC position vacant more than two months 

may be scheduled for a SAV.
63

o Adverse SAPR incidents involving the JFHQ SARC or key SAPR 

personnel may initiate a SAV.

o Any state which has not met the minimum requirements for SARC or VA 

appointments for more than three months.

 SAPR Metrics Targets.

o States that are red in seven or more NG-J1-SAPR Dashboard 

measurements will be assessed for a SAV. The minimum activity will consist of 

the SAV Pre-Site Protocol.

o States that are scoring below expectations on two or more of the DoD 

SAPR metrics will initiate SAV Pre-Site protocol.

 Program Manager Initiated. The PMs of the Service Directorates may request 

the assistance of NG-J1-SAPR to conduct a SAV of a state or command. The PM 

making the request must identify the areas of distress or dysfunction that have been 

identified and expectations for the visit. 

 State Requests.

o TAG of any state or Commanding General of District of Columbia NG may 

request a SAV from NG-J1-SAPR. The identified issues will determine the 

length of the visit.

o The JFHQ-State SARC may request support from the NG-J1-SAPR, but 

cannot initiate a SAV request. The state leadership must be aware of and in full 

support of the onsite activities of the SAV team.

o Wing SARCs should work through the ANG SAPR PM in order to request a 

SAV for the Wing. The PM will work with the SARC and the Wing leadership 

before initiating a request to NG-J1-SAPR. Wing leadership must be in full 

support of the SAV.

NG-J1-SAPR initiates and participates in all official NGB SAVs. The Service 

Directorate PMs are invited to participate in as many SAVs as possible. States may 

request specific activities that may not require PM involvement. To assist the 

States, NG-J1-SAPR developed a SARC Self-Inspection Checklist. This checklist is 

used to help assess the overall health of the state SAPR program, as well as 

identifying areas in compliance and those areas not in compliance with DoD, 

Service or NGB policy or procedures. 

Both ARNG and ANG commanders are required to use the Defense Equal Opportunity 

Management Institute Equal Opportunity Climate (DEOCS) Survey to assist them in 
64

monitoring the climate and identifying attitudes and behaviors that are damaging within 

their units. This tool was used to help determine the specific needs of the units and 

assisted the commanders in developing the strategies to address those needs. 

Other assessment steps taken within the states include:

 Ongoing communications with victims’ commanders regarding monthly case 

status updates and review of command responsibilities.

 Ongoing communications with SAPR VAs regarding victim concerns and status.

 Review of After Action Reports and feedback on SAPR Stand Down Training 

events and unit level trainings.

 Using specific ARNG or ANG self-inspection checklists for the SAPR Program.

 ANG participates in quarterly CAIB with Wing Commander and other CAIB 

members addressing SAPR data. 

 Active participation in the monthly CMGs chaired at the state JFHQ. 

 Evaluation of feedback from state Guard members regarding efficacy or 

suggestions for improving prevention and response. 

 Participation in any Service-specific IG program inspections to assess 

compliance with applicable Service of DoD regulations and instructions.

5.2 Describe your oversight activities that assess the SAPR program 

effectiveness. Include frequency, methods used, findings and recommendations, 

corrective action taken (e.g., program management review and Inspector General 

inspections), and other activities. 

To meet the intent in the DoD 2013 Strategic Plan to establish NGB measure for 

tracking referrals for investigation of Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault, NG-J1-

SAPR and NGB JA identified investigation and accountability measures. Once NGB 

leaders, Service components, and NG State leaders vetted these measures, the 

decision was made to leverage the GKO SAPR Dashboard to report and display the 

investigation and accountability metrics for the States. NG-J1-SAPR collaborated with 

the NGB Strategic Management Systems staff members to develop the system 

processes for these metrics. Additionally, process instructions are being established to 

ensure consistency in reporting. Once these processes are complete, the NG will 

begin collecting State investigation and accountability metrics. This will enable our 

ability to ensure all reports of sexual assault are being processed and followed through 

to their completion.

 SAPR Metrics Targets.
65

o States that are red in seven or more NG-J1-SAPR Dashboard 

measurements are assessed for a SAV. The minimum activity will consist of 

the SAV Pre-Site Protocol.

o States that scored below expectations on two or more of the DoD SAPR 

metrics will initiate SAV Pre-Site protocol.

NGB-JA/SVC Comparative Study.

Periodically, NGB-JA/SVC conducts comparative studies on the following:

 Number of cases referred to Regional NG SVCs.

 Number of NG sexual assault cases reported through DSAID.

 Number of cases referred to MCIOs or NGB/JA/OCI.

Using these data, they are then able to determine usage of the SVC program by 

region or case characterization. With the goal of providing NG victims of sexual 

assault with every resource available to them, steps are then taken to determine 

why there may be low usage of the SVC. Based on this information, measures are 

taken to address the factors and to increase awareness of the SVC program and 

improve victim confidence in this assistance.

The ARNG SHARP PM used the DTMS, Directors Personnel Readiness Overview 

(DPRO), and DSAID to track training metrics. 

ANG Wing SARCs conducted random evaluations of members’ knowledge on SAPR 

program policies such as reporting options, the names of their SARC and SAPR VAs, 

who can take reports, and who has to report, by going out to the squadrons 

unannounced to ask questions. The self-inspections conducted using the MICT 

checklist were monitored and reviewed frequently, and updated as required. 

Deficiencies identified during this inspection were addressed in a timely manner.

5.3 Describe your efforts to ensure integrity of data collected in the Defense 

Sexual Assault Incident Database.



Quality control oversight and review of DSAID data is the full time responsibility by the 

DSAID System Manager. In conjunction with ARNG and ANG PMs, accuracy and 

completeness of data entry by SARCs is monitored on a daily basis by NG-J1-SAPR. 

The NG-J1-SAPR office provides oversight for the NG use of the database. Access to 

DSAID is strictly limited to SARCs who have successfully completed the required 

training, background checks, and certification requirement; a process closely monitored 

by the NG-J1-SAPR office. Issues regarding DSAID are coordinated primarily with the 

ARNG and ANG PMs. Weekly or monthly DSAID updates were provided to the 
66

SARCs or when coming to the attention of the PMs. 

The ARNG reported cases are entered into DSAID by the JFHQ-State SARC or JFHQState VAC. Case entry is monitored for accuracy and timeliness by both the NG-J1-

SAPR DSAID PM and ARNG SHARP PM. If a sexual assault occurs on T10 status, 

but is not reported until the victim returns to T32 status, the JFHQ-State SARCs will 

enter the T10 case into DSAID in addition to cases that occur, and are reported on T32 

status. 

The ANG reported cases are entered into DSAID by the Wing SARC and is closely 

monitored for accuracy and data entry timeliness by both the SAPR DSAID program 

manager and the ANG SAPR PM. As the overall SAPR PM for the state NG under the 

TAG, the JFHQ-State SARC is notified of all ANG sexual assault reports by the Wing 

SARC to ensure both ARNG and ANG sexual assault reports are reported to state 

leadership, as appropriate for the type of report made. 

Both ARNG and ANG keep HQDA and USAF informed and worked closely to 

appropriately and accurately track any cases that occurred in T10 status.

5.4 Provide a summary of your research and data collection activities conducted 

in FY14. Include documentation in the appendix. 

In FY14, in response to the DoD SAPR Strategic Plan, 20 April 2013, the Army and 

NGB were tasked to “Assess SHARP training applicability for Army National Guard due 

to state vs. Federal differences, structure, and authorities.” The survey and feedback 

period began on April 18, 2014 and ended on May 9, 2014. ARNG SAPR personnel 

and state leadership were asked to participate in the survey. The survey consisted of 

21 core competency questions, three “open” questions and one “yes” – “no” question. 

The platform used was the Joint Services Support (JSS) System. The total number of 

participants was 451. The breakdown was as follows:

36 = JFHQ SARCs

24 = JFHQ VACs

7 = Alternate JFHQ SARCs

10 = Not a SARC or SAPR VA

374 = SHARP/SAPR VAs

Survey Summary.

 Survey participant responses and state senior leaders’ feedback were 

instrumental in gauging applicability of the 80-hour SHARP Training for ARNG 

SAPR personnel.

 Currently, JFHQ SARCs and JFHQ VACs are required to attend both the 80-

hour SHARP training and the NGB 40-hour training. Brigade and Battalion level 

ARNG SARCs and SHARP/SAPR VAs only attend the 80-hour SHARP training.
67

 The responses from the survey participants appear to indicate the desire for a 

more robust emphasis on T32 structure, authorities, and processes within the 

SHARP training.

 The number of responses to Question #19, which did not contain a specific T32 

equity, were significantly higher in the "Extremely Well/Somewhat Well" category, 

than for any other question that included a T32 focus.

Graphs on the responses to the SHARP Course Survey are provided in Appendix A.

NG sexual assault victim demographics. The charts that follow depict the following 

demographics of the victims of sexual assault reported to the NG leadership in FY14:

 Sexual Assault by Service

 Sexual Assault by Gender

 Victim Age at Time of Incident

 Duty Status by Service at Time of incident 

 Victim Rank at Time of Incident by Service

 Report Type by Service

 Victim’s Race by Service

 Latency of Report by Service

5.5 Describe your efforts to explore the feasibility of a SARC Military 

Occupational Specialty (MOS) or restructuring of military table of organization; 

addition of skill identifiers. 

Not applicable to the NG. This is a Service function and ARNG and ANG follow Army 

and Air Force MOS and Air Force Specialty Code requirements for special skill 

identifiers. 



5.6 Describe your efforts to assess the feasibility of incorporating sexual assault 

prevention training in Family Readiness, Family Advocacy Program (FAP), and 

Substance Abuse programs to enhance FAP and SAPR collaboration and 

training. 

NG-J1-SAPR office recently began dialogue with the NG Family Program Office to 

discuss the incorporation of SAPR related messaging and training within their program. 

This would have an overall reaching effect, as information would be made available to 

families in need at the Family Assistance Centers located throughout each state. 

The Family Advocacy Program is specific to active duty, however, many SARCs have 

collaborated or established relationships with the service-specific substance abuse 
70

programs within their states to examine the relationship to alcohol and drug facilitated 

sexual assaults. 

5.7 Describe your plans for FY15 that pertain to synchronizing and standardizing 

the SAPR program across the Joint Force (from Joint/Service basing to forward 

stationed and deployed units worldwide).



The NG adheres to DoD policy and procedures and develops policy, procedures and 

training based on these requirements. In FY15, the goal of the NG is to solidify the NG 

SAPR requirements as Joint Force standards for all members on T32 duty status. The 

publication of the CNGB Instruction, defining NGB’s SAPR policy and roles and 

responsibilities, and the CNGB Manual, providing NG SAPR program procedures will 

play a major role in accomplishing this objective. 

The NG will continue to recognize those requirements that are Service-specific with 

which the ARNG and ANG must comply. These areas include personnel record 

management and recruiting and retention.

5.8 Describe your efforts to increase collaboration with civilian organizations to 

improve interoperability.

Individual JFHQ-State SARCs and personnel associated with the state SAPR program 

collaborate with civilian organizations to improve interoperability to assist in the 

assessment of the NG SAPR program progress within that state. An example is the RI 

Sexual Violence Prevention Planning Committee which was created by the RI 

Department of Health. This collaboration, consisting of the RI military (JFHQ-State 

SARC), institutions of higher learning (all state colleges), Rape Crisis Centers (Day 

One), RICADV, Homeless Veterans Agencies, focus groups, etc., meet bi-monthly to 

assess prevention efforts statewide. RI Rape Prevention & Education State System 

Evaluation Capacity Assessment was conducted last year and action is being taken to 

increase the impact of prevention training in various venues. Through this 

collaboration, 40 community partners attended Green Dot training and are using their 

methodologies throughout the state.



5.9 Describe your future plans for effectively standardizing, measuring,

analyzing, assessing, and reporting program progress.

The NG will accomplish this task by publishing the CNGB Instruction and CNGB 

Manual for T32 specific policy guidance, which will establish NG SAPR policy, roles 

and responsibilities, and procedures for Guard members on T32 duty status. 

A greater emphasis will be placed on the role of the SAPRAC to capture best practices 

on the new section area of GKO for sharing best practices to all the states. These 

practices, along with identified accomplishments and challenges within the SAPR 

program will be shared with NG-J1-SAPR, and ARNG and ANG PMs for 

recommendations.

6. Overarching Tenet: Communication and Policy

6.1 Describe your efforts to post and widely disseminate sexual assault 

information (e.g., SAFE Helpline, hotline phone numbers and internet websites) 

to Service members, eligible dependents, and civilian personnel of the DoD. 



In a collaborative effort between NG-J1-SAPR and NGB-PA, a SAPR Communication 

Plan was developed for FY14. The purpose of this plan was to provide an engagement 

strategy and consistent messages for the NG’s SAPR program. This plan 

communicated the DoD’s efforts to enable military readiness by establishing a culture 

free of sexual assault. It included top line and key messages for the NG SAPR 

program. It further described five themes, which corresponded to the five LOEs. The 

PA strategy and tactics were further defined in the categories of command information, 

public information, community engagement, plans and policy, and NGB-PA 

Synchronization. This FY14 plan is currently under review for revision as required to 

meet the requirements for FY15. 

NG-J1-SAPR provides input and monitors the SAPR section on the NGB’s JSS System 

website. This site is a gateway for Guard members and their families. In addition to 

SAPR, the programs supported by JSS include:

 Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program

 Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve 

 National Guard Family Programs

 National Guard Financial Management Awareness Program

 Psychological Health Program

 Transition Assistance Program

 Financial Management Awareness Program

 Joining Community Forces

The SAPR JSS website has both a public and restricted site. The public site provides 

hyperlinks to Safe Helpline, DoD SAPRO website, and to important SAPR and DPH 

staff contacts, such as the JFHQ-State SARCs, JFHQ-State VACs, and DPHs in each 

state. Hyperlinks lead the reader to pages that will provide more help, answer 

frequently asked questions, and describe how the NG SAPR policy protects the Guard 

member. For the SAPR Staff, pertinent information may be uploaded. This 

information includes details on upcoming events such as Victim Advocate Training, 

Post-Deployment briefings; announcements such as monthly webinar schedules; and, 
72

recent blog posts. This site also offers helpful information for the Guard member on:

 Identifying the Common Factors of Sexual Assault

 Bystander Intervention

 Victim Advocacy

 Report an Incident

Another resource maintained at the NGB level is the Joint Staff NG SAPR page on 

GKO, a US Government Information system built on SharePoint. On the homepage, 

links are provided to all readers to access DoD SAPRO, Army SHARP, Air Force 

SAPR, ARNG SHARP, ANG SAPR, NGB SAPRAC, and the newly created State’s 

Best Practices. Although primarily for use by SAPR personnel, DoD employees, and 

senior leaders in the states, it is available by using the Common Access Card (CAC). 

The site offers access to a map of the locations and contact numbers for NGB SVCs, 

and relevant SAPR policies and instructions, including SecDef, DoD, NGB, ARNG, 

and ANG initiatives.

The JFHQ-State SARC and ANG Wing SARCs are required to standardize email and

voice-mail messaging for their contact information. As a best practice, the DoD Safe

Helpline is the standard referral on all voice mail messages. The states also 

developed their own internal websites and help-lines where NG members may turn to 

for local response in a time of crisis. Many of the partnerships created within the 

communities offer tremendous opportunities to post information and to provide 

briefings on the services provided and resources available within the JFHQ-State 

SAPR program.

Some additional avenues used to distribute information on individual Service and 

available resources at the local level have been:

 SAPR marketing items, handouts, educational pamphlets, and PSAs

 SAPR posters, flyers, newsletters, information boards

 SAPR business cards, wing wallet cards

 Social media, SAPR websites, articles in local newspapers

 SharePoint

 Posting the DoD Safe Helpline and embedding SAPR website pages on

their State’s NG website

6.2 Provide updates on your development and implementation of specialized 
73

medical and mental health care policy for sexual assault victims. If applicable, 

provide a copy of your updated implementation plan in the appendix. 



In accordance with applicable Federal, State and Territory laws, guidance and 

regulation, and in partnership with the NG-J1-SAPR Program, the NG Psychological 

Health Program has licensed, mental health counselors ready and available to support 

and refer airmen and soldiers to appropriate resources to mitigate the physical and 

mental after effects associated with a sexual assault or threat.



 MTFs within DoD Health Affairs are accessible to NG when the Guard member is on 

active duty orders, covered by TRICARE, and are located and accessible within a state 

member’s locale. MOU’s and MOAs are developed with local civilian or Veteran Affairs

facilities to provide medical and mental health care to the victim of sexual assault, 

when qualifying for services.



6.3 Describe your ongoing efforts to review, revise, update, and issue policy 

pertaining to:

- The record of dispositions of unrestricted reports.

- General education for correction of military records when victims experience 

retaliation.

Section 1723 of NDAA FY14 mandates the retention of DD Form 2910, “Victim 

Reporting Preference Statement,” and DD Form 2911, “DoD Sexual Assault Forensic 

Examination Report,” for fifty years for both Restricted and Unrestricted cases. This 

mandate was reinforced by the SecDef memo, “Fifty-Year Retention of Forms Related 

to Reports of Sexual Assault,” dated 23 July 2014. Retention of Records as directed 

by the NDAA and the SecDef memo also applies to records for incidents reported 

during T32 status. For all Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault, the DD 2910 form is 

uploaded into DSAID by the owning SARC and is maintained according to DoD 

guidance. DD Forms 2910 for Restricted Reports are maintained by the owning 

SARC under double lock for the required 50 years. All victims receive their own copy 

of the signed DD 2910. 

In most cases where the sexual assault occurs and is reported on T32 status, the DD 

Form 2911 is not used by civilian hospitals or clinics. If the assault occurred while on 

active duty orders, the originating active duty SARC may provide a case transfer 

within DSAID to the gaining T32 SARC and all records maintained in DSAID are 

included with the case transfer information. 

6.4 Provide an update on your progress in modifying policy provisions for 

general education campaign for correction.

The ARNG and ANG follow their Service-specific guidance and directives related to 

this issue.

6.5 Describe your efforts to sustain policy for General or Flag officer review of 
74

and concurrence in adverse administrative actions and separation of victims 

making an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault in FY14. 



This policy is identified in the CNGB Instruction currently in its final staffing process 

prior to implementation. TAG serves as the final reviewing officer for adverse 

administrative actions and separation of victims of sexual assault making an 

Unrestricted Report of sexual assault. 

7. Secretary of Defense Initiatives

7.1 Enhancing Commander Accountability—Describe your progress in 

developing methods of assessing commander effectiveness in establishing 

command climates of dignity and respect. Include efforts made by your Service 

to incorporate SAPR prevention and victim care principles in their commands, 

and efforts made to hold them accountable. 



The ARNG complied with the methods identified in the Secretary of the Army 

memorandum dated September 27, 2013, directing the enhancement of the 

Evaluation Reporting System to assess how officers and NCOs are meeting their 

commitments, and to hold them accountable:

 The ARNG incorporated character comments into the NCOER/OER 

(“Assessing Officers and Noncommissioned Officers and Fostering Climates of 

Dignity and Respect and on Adhering to the SHARP Program”) to ensure that the 

ARNG better evaluates, and holds accountable, its officers and NCOs with regard to 

their performance in establishing appropriate climates of dignity and respect and 

their adherence to SAPR principles.

The ANG complied with the methods identified in the Acting Secretary of the Air Force 

memorandum dated October 28, 2013, to assess commanders and hold them 

accountable:

 Modification to feedback evaluation forms. All Airmen will be held responsible 

for contributing, NCOs and officers with creating, and commanders for ensuring a 

healthy unit climate.

 Increase the frequency of required climate assessments.

 Requirement for commanders to brief their immediate supervisor and unit 

members on climate assessment results.

 Transition the current Unit Climate Assessment to the Defense Equal 

Opportunity Management Institute Organizational Climate Survey.

 Establish a Special Interest Item for the Inspector General new Unit 

Effectiveness Inspection system. 
75

7.2 Ensuring Safety—Describe your efforts, policies, and/or programmatic 

changes undertaken to improve SAPR training for members of the military 

serving in recruiting organizations, Military Entrance Processing Stations, and 

the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Include measures taken by your Service to 

select, train, and oversee recruiters, disseminate SAPR program information to 

potential and actual recruits, and how your Service has incorporated SAPR 

program information in ROTC environments and curricula. 



ARNG Recruiter emphasis: 

 Focused on efforts to complete evaluation of Stand-down screenings.

 Guard Strength Maintenance Division created “Smart Cards” to give to potential 

recruits.

 Content – Professional Recruiter/Recruit relationship, DoD and State Safe

Helpline, State SARC phone number.

 Recruit Sustainment Program delivers a 3-hr block of SAPR/SHARP 

information to all new recruits prior to attending Basic Combat Training.

ANG Recruiter Emphasis:

 ANG received their toll-free number October 1, 2013.

 Recruiters are required to brief applicant, and both must sign the “ANG 

Statement of Conduct Form”.

 “Recruiter Reporting Card” contains toll-free number and ethics.

 Recruits received “Rights and Duties of ANG Trainee” briefing prior to BMT and

Technical Training School (non-prior service).

 These requirements were updated in ANG Instruction 36-2002 & ANG

Instruction 36-2101.

7.3 Evaluate Commander SAPR Training—Describe your progress in developing 

core competencies and learning objectives for Pre-Command and Senior 

Enlisted Leader SAPR training. If your Service has completed an assessment of 

newly established core competencies and learning objectives, explain findings 

and recommendations. 



Implementation of a newly developed T32 specific NG SAPR Commander’s Course 

will begin in FY15. Pre-command training and Senior Enlisted training for NG

Traditional members has always been dependent on the ability of the Guard member

to participate in extensive pre-command course work as a dual civilian/military 
76

member. The specific T32 pre-command training is capable of being delivered during 

a two-day time frame by trained SARCs, SAPR VAs, and other subject matter experts 

within the state operations to include JAG, Chaplains, SVCs, and special 

investigators. The core competencies and learning objectives are based on the 

assessment that T32 resources and processes for investigations and accountability for 

sex offenders, is often based on state laws and statutes that do not include active duty 

resources or UCMJ directives. The assessment of core competencies for T32 

commanders indicated the need for specific command training that utilizes real 

situations encountered while functioning in T32 status. 

 The ARNG requires all Senior Leaders in the ARNG to attend Tier 1 SHARP 

training.

 ANG Commanders and Senior NCOs receive the same annual SAPR training 

given to all members of the wing. Some SARCs began offering one-on-one training 

with new Commanders as part of their immersion training. 

7.4 Develop Collaborative Forum for Sexual Assault Prevention Methods—

Describe your implementation plan and methods for establishing a community of 

practice and collaboration forum to share best and promising practices and 

lessons learned with external experts, federal partners, Military Services, NGB

advocacy organizations, and educational institutions. 



The NG SAPRAC is the primary instrument for collecting and disseminating best 

practices among the NG SARCs through the states. During the regional and national 

level meetings, the SAPRAC representatives have a forum that exists to share a host 

of information, such as best practices, and lessons learned. This information is 

subsequently shared among all the SAPR personnel with the states. 

Additionally, as part of the NGB Prevention Strategy alignment with DoD SAPRO’s 

Prevention Strategy, NG is in the process of identifying personnel to monitor and 

encourage participation in a NG T32 specific Community of Practice on DoD’s SAPR 

Connect resource utilizing MilSuite as an overall DoD forum for sharing both internally 

and externally with partners, advocacy organizations, and educational institutions. 

Through the many relationships developed between the NG SAPR personnel and their 

community partners, these best practices and lessons learned are shared with a larger 

audience. Routinely, members of the NG SAPR staff are asked to provide briefings, 

participate in forums, provide training, and participate in a host of events where there is 

an exchange of information with SAPR professionals from many organizations and 

agencies. 

Additionally, both the ARNG SHARP and ANG SAPR offices conduct monthly 

teleconferences with SARCs to discuss a variety of information to include best 

practices. This information is disseminated to the field through emails, posting it on the 

GKO SAPR, ANG SAPR and ARNG SHARP websites, and during initial and refresher 
77

training. 



7.5 Improving Response & Victim Treatment—Describe your efforts to improve 

overall victim care and trust in the chain of command. Include updates or 

initiatives undertaken by your Service to reduce the possibility of ostracizing 

victims, to increase reporting, and measures your Service has taken to account 

for victim input in these efforts. 



To improve response and victim treatment by their peers, co-workers, and chains of 

command with the NG, the following initiatives were implemented.

 Execution of Service – specific directives set by Departments of the Army and 

Air Force and implementation of program initiatives developed to improve response 

and victim treatment. This is a SecDef initiative.

 Increased training focus on how tolerating or ignoring sexual assault is contrary

to the Military’s Core Values and a renewed emphasis encourages greater 

Bystander Intervention in preventing sexual assaults. Through greater subject 

accountability for substantiated case investigations, the NG efforts by NGB-JA/OCI

improved response to victims and encouraged increased reporting of sexual assault 

incidents. 

 Released NG’s updated CNGBI 1303.01A, “Expedited Transfer, Reassignment, 

or Removal of National Guard Members Due to an Unrestricted Report of Sexual 

Assault”, 06 August 2014, to provide additional options and guidance for victim 

response involving T32 sexual assaults. 

 Employed Sexual Assault Awareness Month Public Service Announcements to 

destigmatize victimization and increase efforts to encourage incident reporting.

 Re-emphasized the SecDef directive to use Command Climate surveys within 

120 days of assuming command to evaluate current climate and increase

awareness of any ongoing problems within a previous command. 

 Enhanced sensitivity training by peers, co-workers, and chains of command at 

all training venues, including PME, annual sexual assault prevention stand-downs 

and professional development venues to recognize victim blaming statements and 

perceptions that would discourage reporting and influence treatment of victims. 

Evaluations are solicited after every training event.

 Engaged SARCs for review of the DoD Survivor Experience Survey prior to

being offered to sexual assault survivors. SARCs reviewed content with the intent 

of determining whether the survey was appropriate and specific to include T32 

survivors, in addition to examining content to prevent or minimize any possibility of 

re-victimization. 
78

 The NG continued to educate Guard members on their roles and 

responsibilities in creating and maintaining a climate of dignity and respect through 

their annual refresher training sessions, commander led engagements, Newcomers 

Orientations, Staff Assistance Visits, and additional unit training settings.

7.6 Enhancing Protections—Describe your efforts to update policies allowing for 

the administrative reassignment or expedited transfer of a member who is 

accused of committing a sexual assault or related offense. Include your 

Service’s efforts to account for both the interests of the victim and the accused.



CNGB Instruction 1303.01A, “Expedited Transfer, Reassignment, or Removal of 

National Guard Members Due To an Unrestricted Report of Sexual Assault” was 

recently updated and published on 06 August 2014.



The purpose of this instruction is as follows: “This instruction establishes policy and 

assigns responsibilities to expedite the transfer of National Guard T32 Guard 

members IAW reference a, who file an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault IAW 

reference b. This instruction also implements the statutory authority permitting an 

appropriate commanding officer (CO) to temporarily and administratively reassign or 

remove a T32 Guard member who is accused of committing a sexual assault or 

related offense IAW reference c.”

Reference a: DoD Instruction 6495.02, 28 March 2013, Change 1, 12 February 2014, 

“Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures”

Reference b: DoD Directive 6495.01, 23 January 2012, Change 1, 30 April 2013, 

“Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program” 

Reference c: PL 113-66, Subtitle B, § 1713, “Temporary Administrative Reassignment 

or Removal of a Member on Active Duty Accused of Committing a Sexual Assault or 

Related Offense”

7.7 Improving Victim Legal Support—Describe your efforts to establish a special 

victim’s advocacy program that provides legal advice and representation for 

victims of sexual assault. Include your Service’s measures of effectiveness for 

this program, as well as efforts made to collaborate and share best practices 

with other services. 

As described in section 3, NG SVCs are now available to eligible victims of sexual 

assault to provide confidential legal representation related to issues that may arise as 

a result of being sexually assaulted. A “Notification of National Guard Special Victims’ 

Counsel Services” was developed to inform the victim of the following services the 

SVC may provide:

 Legal representation and advocacy on issues related to the military criminal or 
79

administrative disposition of the sexual assault, such as attending interviews with 

military investigators and military trial and defense counsels, participating in courts 

martial and assisting with drafting victim impact statements.

 Referral to Trial Defense Service or Area Defense Counsel for collateral 

misconduct, if necessary.

 Advice to client on personal civil legal affairs that have a direct nexus to the 

sexual assault.

 Advice to client on filing an expedited transfer requests, requesting military and

civilian protection orders and obtaining records related to the sexual assault 

investigation or case disposition.

 Traditional legal assistance services.

Individuals eligible for NG SVC assistance include: NG members on T10 or T32 duty 

status, on SAD with a NG Nexus, not in a duty status but with a NG Nexus, DualStatus Technician with a NG Nexus, and dependents of NG members if either the 

Service or the NG has jurisdiction over the alleged perpetrator.

Within two months after the program reached its operational status, NG Regional 

SVCs were collectively representing 43 cases addressing a myriad of cross-cutting 

legal issues, such as military criminal investigation and prosecution (court martial), 

administrative investigation and case disposition, line of duty determination for NG 

victims of sexual assault, expedited transfer requests, and protection of privacy. NG 

SVC program staff was also monitoring seven NG cases supported by Army and AF 

SVCs.

NGB-JA/SVC continually assesses the health and utilization of the NG SVC program. 

Regional NG SVCs submit a monthly manpower tracking report that provides a 

quantitative means for NGB-JA/SVC to evaluate legal challenges facing the clients, 

identify subject matters that require advance legal training, and pinpoint shared 

concerns that require systematic resolution. Since May 2014, the majority of the work 

hours spent on providing direct client services by Regional SVCs were focused on 

initial client intakes, protection of privacy, and ensuring access to LOD determination. 

Driven by the manpower tracking results and feedback from the Regional NG SVCs, 

NGB-JA/SVC hosted the inaugural annual legal training for the Regional NG SVCs in 

August 2014. The three-day, advanced legal training focused on victimology and 

serving as a victim’s attorney, LODs, incapacitation pay, and the medical separation 

process to include the disability evaluation system, and protection of medical and 

mental health records.

Overall, the NG SVC Program has experienced a gradual increase in SVC utilization. 

Specifically, Regional NG SVCs are collectively reporting approximately 20 new cases 

per month, making a sum total of 43 cases for June and July 2014. Also for the 
80

months of June and July 2014, they spent:

 117 hours in meeting with clients for initial case intake and other follow-up 

issues

 92.5 hours in assisting clients with correction of personnel records and privacy 

protections

 75 hours in obtaining and reviewing client investigative, personnel, medical and 

mental health records

 61 hours in issues concerning LOD.

Regional NG SVCs reported over 1200 hours in conducting legal research, drafting, 

and consultation in preparation for their legal representation and advocacy.

The NG SVC Program has witnessed an increase in the intensity of legal support 

required. Examples include:

 A case involving the sexual assault of a Guard member taking place over a long 

period of time with the victim in a T10, T32, and civilian status.

 A victim facing adverse administrative actions.

NGB-JA/SVC coordinated and met its training requirements by partnering with the 

Army and AF SVC certification courses. To address the NG policies and unique 

challenges facing the T32 Guard member, they provided an NG curriculum and 

instructors for the NG JAs participating in the certification course. Following 

successful completion of this course, NGB-JA/SVC coordinates with the Army or AF 

SVC PM to ensure the Service TJAG jointly certifies the NG JAs as SVCs.

7.8 Develop Standardized and Voluntary Survey for Victims and Survivors—

Describe your progress in developing and participating in a standardized victim 

survey. List efforts made jointly with other Services and Departments to 

regularly administer the standardized victim survey in such a way that protects 

victim privacy and does not adversely impact victim legal and health status. 



The National Guard, in collaboration with DoD SAPRO, worked with the Defense 

Manpower Data Center (DMDC) personnel to develop and review questions included 

on the 2014 SES. The survey was developed to meet requests from the White House 

Health of the Force request for feedback from survivors, who provided an Unrestricted 

Report beginning in FY14 on October 1, 2014. The anonymous survey was created to 

inform about the services and resources our survivors received, their level of 

satisfaction, and ways in which their needs could be better met.

The NG will continue to partner with DoD SAPRO and DMDC to advance and mature 
81

the SES to continue obtaining valuable feedback on survivor experiences; information 

critical to impacting the services provided to NG survivors. DMDC plans to develop an 

additional SES to offer to survivors after a case is closed to compare initial survey 

responses to responses on final results and perceptions of support and response after 

case closure. NG will continue to engage with DMDC and DoD SAPRO on any input 

requested for issuing a final SES that may require specific questions for Guard 

members on T32 duty status.
