# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

These information collections support an emergent, high-visibility Secretary of Defense requirement directed in February 2021 to conduct evaluations of 20 DoD installations where the military community is at increased or decreased risk for destructive behaviors as evidenced by measures of unhealthy command climate. Site visits will take place June-August 2021, report development in August 2021, Military Department coordination in September 2021 and delivery of the report to the Secretary by Oct 2021. Given the aggressive timelines the purpose of the initial high risk installation evaluations is to pilot an evaluation process and metrics in order to develop an enduring evaluation method to support future evaluations (expected to be conducted on biennial basis). DoD Office of Force Resiliency (OFR) will identify 20 DoD installations to take part in the assessment. At each location, a handful of DoD personnel who either have direct responsibility for prevention activities or their superiors will participate. There will be three data sources: (1) Responding to a “request for information”; (2) participating in discussions during a three day site visit; and (3) completing a survey.
