AMPN/MISSION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY SEXUAL ASSAULT 
PREVENTION AND RESPONSE OFFICE//

RMKS/1.  ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES IS TO COMBAT SEXUAL ASSAULT DEPARTMENT-WIDE.  
ASSESSING OUR EFFECTIVENESS REQUIRES FEEDBACK THAT CAN ONLY COME FROM 
INDIVIDUAL SAILORS AND MARINES.  I TASKED THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY SEXUAL 
ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE OFFICE (DON SAPRO) TO CONDUCT A DEPARTMENT 
WIDE SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVEY ASSESSING THE FUNCTIONALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF 
THE SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE (SAPR) PROGRAM; IN ADDITION, DON 
SAPRO IS DIRECTED TO DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS WITHIN THE 
DEPARMENT OF THE NAVY (DON).

2.  DON SAPRO METHODOLOGY WILL INCLUDE SITE VISITS, RECORDS ANALYSIS, PERSONAL 
INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS AND INDIVIDUAL COMMAND PROGRAM REVIEWS.

3.  THE ONLINE SURVEY SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON MAXIMUM 
PARTICIPATION OF AS MANY SAILORS AND MARINES AS POSSIBLE WORLDWIDE.  ALL 
COMMANDERS WILL ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION OF SAILORS AND MARINES UNDER YOUR 
COMMAND TO SUPPORT THIS GOAL. THE SURVEY IS CONFIDENTIAL AND ANONYMOUS.  THE 
SURVEY CAN BE ACCESSED AT WWW.DONSAPRO.NAVY.MIL/SURVEY.HTML AND WILL BE 
AVAILABLE FOR PARTICIPATION THROUGH 30 SEPTEMBER 2011.

4.  I AM DIRECTING YOU TO PROVIDE DON SAPRO ASSISTANCE AS THEY REQUIRE.

COMMANDING OFFICERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING A COMMAND CLIMATE THAT 
CONDEMNS SEXUAL ASSAULT; PROVIDES VICTIMS WITH SENSITIVE CARE, RESOURCES, AND
