MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION C 

SUBJECT: Policy Statement on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 

JUN 1 6 2017 

I am committed to the prevention of sexual assault throughout the Defense Threat 

Reduction Agency (DTRA). I expect all employees, both military and civilian, to model 

appropriate behaviors in the workplace and to advance a culture of respect and dignity. 

Sexual assault is a crime defined as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of 

force, physical threat, or abuse of authority, or when the victim does not or cannot consent. 

Sexual assault includes rape, non-consensual sodomy, unwanted inappropriate sexual contact or 

fondling, as well as attempts to commit these acts. 

My goal is to ensure that we have a climate free of sexual assault incidents. Such 

incidents violate professional and personal dignity while eroding readiness and team unity. 

Sexual assault intrudes upon the sacred trust of those who serve, and can endanger members of 

our Armed Forces or the civilian workforce. Any form of sexual assault will not be tolerated. 

I expect senior leaders, supervisors, and managers to understand their role and 

responsibility with respect to sexual assault victims. As an organization, we must create a 

climate where victims are encouraged to report incidents of sexual assault without fear. Critical 

to this, we have established a Sexual Assault Prevention Training and Awareness Program to 

educate our workforce and reaffirm our obligation to protect our service members and their 

families. 

Sexual assault has no place in the DTRA workplace. Sexual assault is incompatible with 

our values and is punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and other Federal and 

local laws. Any individual (victim or bystander) who is aware of a sexual assault must 

immediately report it to our Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, Mr. Phillip Ellis, JOXE at 

(703)767-4451/7769.
