Sexual assault is a crime that has no place in the Department of Defense (DoD). It is an attack on the values we defend and on the cohesion our units demand, and forever changes the lives of victims and their families. In 2005, the Department established the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program to promote prevention, encourage increased reporting of the crime, and improve response capabilities for victims. The DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) is responsible for the policies that define the SAPR program and the oversight activities that assess its effectiveness. Federal law requires the Department to provide Congress with an annual report on sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces. This report presents the Department s programmatic activities and provides analysis of reports of sexual assault made during fiscal year (FY) 2012 (October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2012). Enclosed within this report are supplementary reports from the Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Additionally, this year s report assesses the Department s progress in the areas of prevention, reporting, response, and improved knowledge of SAPR using the results of the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (WGRA), 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Reserve Component Members (WGRR), and the 2012 QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (QSARC). Also enclosed are data and analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) technical report, Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Violence Among Active Duty Women and Wives of Active Duty Men Comparisons with Women in U.S. General Population, 2010, and the Report on Department of Defense Policy Required by Section 578, FY2013 NDAA.

Sexual assault is a terrible crime that not only causes traumatic damage to a victim, but also may negatively impact a victim's family and friends. In the Marine Corps, it may even cripple an entire command. The Marine Corps takes pride in its history and traditions, especially for possessing an exceptional degree of camaraderie. Historically, the Marine Corps has been known as: 'A Force in Readiness,' 'A Few Good Men,' and 'First to Fight.' Now, the Marine Corps is also being recognized, especially by the media, and through various random surveys, for having a sexual assault problem within its ranks. There is much criticism due to Marines hurting one another, as evidenced by an increase in sexual assaults reported, 333 in fiscal year (FY) 11, reported over the last few years. Though it may appear the amount of sexual assaults reported have increased in the Marine Corps, there is substantial evidence it is the result of: better reporting, an increase in awareness training, and better response measures being taken. The Marine Corps has made arduous efforts to: clearly define sexual assault, provide Marines better guidance for reporting restricted and unrestricted reports, improve training standards, provide the best victim services, . properly conduct investigations, hold offenders accountable, and properly account for reports of sexual assault through a credible tracking system.

This report presents findings from the 2015 Focus Groups on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (2015 FGSAPR) study, which collected qualitative feedback from military members through focus groups using trained moderators to facilitate discussion on these topics. The 2015 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 2015 FGSAPR effort was to engage in small group discussions with military members across the Department of Defense (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 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.

The President of the United States issued a call to action in 2010 for more emphasis on eradicating sexual assault on college campuses and in the U.S. military. As college and military leaders seek improvements in prevention, reporting, and response they must enhance training and raise awareness through their Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) programs. This thesis analyzed 16 SAPR program websites from selected universities, non-profit organizations and the Department of Defense (DOD) to identify best practices and provide recommendations for restructuring the Navy (N17) SAPR website. Specifically, a website analytic metric was developed and used to evaluate each of the 16 selected websites on six different dimensions: access, navigation, content, visual design, interaction, and credibility. For each dimension, best practices for SAPR program websites were identified across the university, non-profit, and DOD organizations. Additionally, common themes were organized for comparison to the Navy (N17) SAPR website. Results show that although N17 s attempts at providing resources in combating sexual assault are commendable, when compared to best practice websites the U.S. Navy s (N17) SAPR website lacked many characteristics that would make it most effective. Particularly, the Navy (N17) website lacks several user-centric best practices and the tools that do exist on the website are limited when compared to the promising practice websites. Specific recommendations are provided to improve the Navy (N17) SAPR website.

Following a series of high-profile sexual assault cases involving servicemembers, in 2004 Congress directed the Secretary of Defense to develop a comprehensive policy for the Department of Defense (DoD) on the prevention of, and response to, sexual assaults involving servicemembers. Among other things, the legislation required DoD to establish a standardized department-wide definition of sexual assault and procedures for confidentially reporting sexual assault incidents. DoD established the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program in 2005 to promote prevention, encourage increased reporting of the crime, and improve response capabilities for victims. You asked us the following: (1) How are cases of acute sexual assault reported, documented, and investigated, when victims are treated at a military treatment facility (MTF); (2) What training is provided to health care professionals working in MTFs on the treatment of victims of sexual assault; (3) How do MTFs provide acute treatment and care to victims of sexual assault, including forensic medical- legal exams and mental health counseling, as well as preventative treatment for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), sexually transmitted diseases, and pregnancy; and (4) What types of long-term services, support, and follow-up, including mental health services, do MTFs provide to victims of sexual assault. This briefing includes information on the following topics from our body of work, which correspond with the questions asked in the request letter: DoD's approach for reporting, documenting, and investigating alleged sexual assault incidents; DoD training of servicemembers related to sexual assault; DoD care and treatment provided to victims of sexual assault, including mental health counseling and medical care.

To help address the crime of sexual assault within the Military, the Department of Defense and various Service branches conduct comprehensive annual sexual assault reports. The data provided in such reports serve as the foundation and catalyst for future sexual assault prevention, training, victim care and accountability goals. The reports of sexual assault described in this annual report were made during Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 (October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011). More information on reported sexual assaults in FY11 is provided in the Statistical Data section of this report.
