Sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination remain
a major concern across the DoD and for members of Congress. In February
2004, the OUSD(P&R) testified before the Senate Armed Services
Committee on the prevalence of sexual assault in the DoD and the
programs and policies planned to address the issues. In accordance with
legislative requirements, the OUSD(P&R) issued memoranda to the
Services that provide DoD policy guidance on sexual assault that
included a new standard definition, response capability, training
requirements, response actions, and reporting guidance throughout the
Department. The Sexual Assault and Prevention Response Office supported
implementation of the new policy and requires data to assess the
prevalence of sexual assault in the Department and
[[Page 14524]]
the effectiveness of the programs they have implemented.
The WGR surveys will assess the attitudes and opinions of military
members on issues relating to sexual harassment, gender discrimination,
and sexual assault, as well as the culture and climate of the units/
organizations in which individuals serve. It will provide the policy
offices of the USD(P&R) with current data on (1) the positive and
negative trends for professional and personal relationships between
Service members; (2) the specific types of assault that have occurred
and the number of times in the preceding year; (3) the effectiveness of
DoD policies designed to improve professional relationships between
male and female Service members; (4) the effectiveness of current
processes for complaints, reports, and investigations; and, (5)
specific issues related to sexual harassment, sexual assault, and
gender discrimination that may inform the Department's prevention and
response efforts.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Biennially.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
