Reports, courses, surveys, and documentation from the Department of Defense, Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Guard, DOD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) offices and policy, and the Veterans Administration is included. There is coverage of sexual harassment at military service academies, and gender-relations information. In addition, there is comprehensive material on women in the military, including the work of the Defense Department Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS). Studies indicate that most sexual assaults that occur in America are not reported to law enforcement. Underreporting poses a serious challenge, as the potential costs and consequences of sexual assault are extremely high. Chronic psychological consequences may include depression, post traumatic stress disorder and even attempted or completed suicide. Not only does sexual violence harm the individual victimized, it impacts public health. For the military, the potential costs are even higher as it can also negatively impact mission readiness. Service member risk their lives for one another and bear the responsibility of keeping fellow service members out of harm's way. Sexual assault in the military breaks this bond, and units may be torn apart. Clearly, the military cannot tolerate sexual assault. Not only is sexual assault criminal, the potential costs and consequences are simply too high. The Department of Defense's ultimate goal is to eliminate sexual assault from the ranks. The Department's immediate goal is to establish a climate of confidence that encourages all victims to report sexual assault and get the care they need. The Department of Defense is accomplishing this goal by: Maintaining a comprehensive worldwide response capability at all DoD installations for victims of sexual assault. Since June 2005, a key component of that response is allowing a victim the option of a Restricted Report, which permits reporting and access to care without initiating an investigation or notifying command. Institutionalizing extensive training programs to increase sexual assault prevention and program awareness. Exercising oversight over Department sexual assault prevention and response programs (SAPR) and functions. Giving first-class care to a victim of sexual assault anywhere in the world lies at the heart of the Department's SAPR program. The military definition of "sexual assault" does not refer to one specific crime; rather, it encompasses a range of sex crimes that represent a broad range of offenses from rape or nonconsensual sodomy to indecent assault, as well as attempts to commit these offenses. Consequently, the definition of sexual assault in the military is broader than forcible or non-consensual intercourse.
