This tabulation volume presents findings from the 2015 QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response-Related Responders (2015 QSAPR) conducted by the Defense Research, Surveys, and Statistics Center (RSSC) within the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). This survey was conducted at the request of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) as part of its ongoing evaluation efforts of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) programs towards sexual assault prevention and survivor support. The survey was designed to provide insights about SAPR responders-Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs) and Victims Advocates (VAs)-at military installations worldwide, to understand how effectively responders are trained for their positions, and their perceptions of how well their program is supported and executed.

This report provides the results for the 2015 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members (2015WGRR). The overall purpose of the 2015 WGRR is to document the extent to which Reserve component members reported experiencing sexual assault in the 12 months prior to filling out the survey, the details surrounding those events, bystander intervention, and the members' perceptions of the effectiveness of sexual assault policies, training, and programs.

This report contains tabulations of responses from the 2015 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members (2015 WGRR) conducted from August 7 to October 19, 2015. The 2015 WGRR continues a line of military sexual assault and sexual harassment research begun in 1988. DMDC conducted Joint Service surveys of active duty members on gender issues in 1988, 1995, 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2012. DMDC expanded this line of research to the Reserve Components in 2004, 2008, and 2012 and to the Service Academies in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. Historically, DMDC gender relations surveys have been designed to estimate the perceived level of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the Services and to provide new information on a variety of consequences of sexual harassment and sexual assault experiences.

Nano-technology is a rapidly emerging area of importance to Naval aviation. NAWCAD has identified nano-materials and meta-material technologies as an area of strategic importance. In order to better define the investment areas required, three nano-technology study groups were held in the areas of (i) energy and power, (ii) airframe structures, and (iii) electronics & meta-materials. Each study group consisted of a small number of technical experts drawn from academia, industry, DoD, and NAVAIR. The study group on energy and power concluded that power and thermal requirements for Directed Energy Weapons, Unmanned Air Vehicles, Electromagnetic Launch Systems and ground support systems will drive the need for nano-enabled technology. Nano-technologies of importance to naval aviation, to name a few, are: Carbon Nano Tubes for batteries, graphene for capacitors, nano-structured non-precious metal catalysts for Fuel Cells, and phase change materials for thermal management. This paper reports the results of the study group and links together nano-technology, applications, and required core capabilities.

This report presents findings from the 2014 Focus Groups on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (2014 FGSAPR) study, which collected qualitative feedback from military members through focus groups using trained moderators to facilitate discussion on these topics. The 2014 FGSAPR was generated in response to ongoing National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements and guidance from a Secretary of Defense Directive (Secretary of Defense, 2014). The Defense Research, Surveys, and Statistics Center (RSSC) within the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) was tasked with this effort. The goal of the 2014 FGSAPR effort was to engage in small group discussions with military members across DoD on issues related to sexual assault. These structured discussions were designed to better understand how recent changes in sexual assault policies and programs have impacted military members and their workplace environment, as well as address the military's climate of sexual assault response and prevention.

This survey was conducted in response to a Secretary of Defense Directive requiring 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 SAPR victim assistance, the military health system, the military justice process, and other areas of support' (Secretary of Defense, 2014). The Defense Research, Surveys, and Statistics Center (RSSC) within the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC; DMDC-RSSC) was tasked with this effort. The SES was developed as an ongoing survey to provide details related to the sexual assault survivor's overall reporting process and reporting experience and address areas that were of specific interest to the Department, including: awareness of SAPR resources and reporting options, use of and satisfaction with SAPR personnel (including Sexual Assault Response Coordinators SARCs), Uniformed Victims' Advocates/Victims' Advocates (UVAs/VAs), and legal personnel, use of and satisfaction with SAPR-related medical and mental health services, and leadership response to sexual assault reports.

Army installations contain a high density of mission-critical buildings that require constant protection from accidental or deliberate contamination of water distribution systems. Current simulations of contaminant fate and transport in pipe systems do not accurately portray reality. The simulations assume pure hydraulic transport of contaminants and do not account for sorption of the contaminant on pipe walls. Additionally, subsequent reactions such as hydrolysis are not considered. These omissions reduce predictability of a contaminant s progression and effect in the distribution system. In addition, inadequate understanding of contaminant fate and transport may result in an unacceptable risk to mission readiness. However, performing laboratory tests for every known and emerging chemical or biological contaminant to obtain uptake and reaction parameters is not feasible with regard to time or cost investments. This report documents advances in molecular modeling predictions for the transport of contaminants using: the Nanoscale Molecular Dynamics program, the influence of bacterial biofilms on spore viability within a chlorinated water distribution system, the computational chemistry predictions of the rate of hydrolysis of a specific contaminant, and the inclusion of results into the pre-dictive software, EPANet. This work opens the way for better vulnerability assessments, protection, real-time response, remediation, and planning.

We take advantage of gravitational lensing amplification by Abell 1689 (z=0.187) to undertake the first space-based census of emission line galaxies (ELGs) in the field of a massive lensing cluster. Forty-three ELGs are identified to a flux of i(sub 775)=27.3 via slitless grism spectroscopy. One ELG (at z=0.7895) is very bright owing to lensing magnification by a factor of approx = 4.5. Several Balmer emission lines detected from ground-based follow-up spectroscopy signal the onset of a major starburst for this low-mass galaxy (M(sub star) approx = 2 x 10(exp 9)Solar Mass) with a high specific star formation rate (approx = 20/ Gyr). From the blue emission lines we measure a gas-phase oxygen abundance consistent with solar (12+log(O /H)=8.8 +/- O.2). We break the continuous line-emitting region of this giant arc into seven approx 1 kpc bins (intrinsic size) and measure a variety of metallicity dependent line ratios. A weak trend of increasing metal fraction is seen toward the dynamical center of the galaxy. Interestingly, the metal line ratios in a region offset from the center by -lkpc have a placement on the blue HI region excitation diagram with f(OIII)/ f(H-Beta) and f(NeIII)/ f(H-Beta) that can be fit by an AGN. This asymmetrical AGN-like behavior is interpreted as a product of shocks in the direction of the galaxy's extended tail, possibly instigated by a recent galaxy interaction.

TacSat-4 is an experimental Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communications satellite that launched on a Minotaur IV+ from Kodiak, Alaska on September 27, 2011. The spacecraft and ground capabilities are briefly described for context. The integration, testing, launch processing, early flight operations, and initial end user results are then discussed. Unique approaches and lessons learned are highlighted. For example, the 'launch powered off' approach used to test new Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) bus standards worked particularly well, and had several benefits during launch processing. The ORS Office is leading the Joint Military Utility Assessment of the TacSat-4 mission.
