CG'S SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE (SAPR) POLICY STATEMENT

To speak with a SARP Victim Advocate Please call Camp Pendleton 24/7 Sexual Assault Support Line: 760-500-1707

Reporting:
Knowing Your Options
Service members and military dependents (18 years and older) have two options when it comes to reporting sexual assault: Unrestricted or Restricted Reporting. The victim will need to fill out a DD form 2910  with assistance from a Sexual Assault Prevention & Response (SAPR) Victim Advocate (VA), or Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC).

Unrestricted Reporting – is recommended for victims who desire al law enforcement investigation, enlists the support of the chain of command, and provides a victim with access to ALL supportive service options:
-Advocacy Services (support, information, referral, and accompaniment)
-Medical/Counseling Services
-Victims' Legal Counsel
-Military Protective Order
-Civilian Protective Order
-Expedited Transfer
-CATCH Program when the name of suspect is not known by law enforcement

For an Unrestricted Report - Victims can disclose a sexual assault to the following people:
-SAPR  Victim Advocate 
-Sexual Assault Response Coordinator
-Healthcare Personnel
-Chaplain
-Victims' Legal Counsel
-Chain of Command
-Law Enforcement 

With Unrestricted Report, knowledge of the sexual assault is limited to those with an official need-to-know.

In the event of an independent investigation that is initiated by a third party reporting from a source other than the victim. The victims can elect not to participate in the investigation by signing a 540k Victim Preference Letter. The investigation may continue their investigation without the victim’s participation or the MCIO may agree to close the investigation. Speak to your SARC or SAPR VA for further information regarding the 540k Victim Preference Letter.

Restricted Reporting - is available for Service members and their SAPR eligible military dependents 18 years of age or older. Restricted Reports allows the victim to confidential disclose their sexual assault to certain individuals, does not trigger an investigation or command involvement, and allows the victim to access THESE supportive service options: 
-Advocacy Services (support, information, referral, and accompaniment)
-Medical/Counseling Services
-Victims' Legal Counsel
-CATCH Program

A victim can choose to convert a Restricted Report to Unrestricted at any time. However, once an Unrestricted Report is made, the Restricted Reporting option is no longer available.

Victims may still elect a Restricted Report if they did not personally report the sexual assault to law enforcement, including MCIOS, and/or did not previously elect to make an Unrestricted Report by signing a DD Form 2910 on the same sexual assault incident.

In the event a victim or third party discloses a Restricted Report to the command, it does not negate the command from the standard notification and reporting responsibilities. The commander will not ask SARC for details nor will they speak to the victim about the incident.   

For a Restricted Report - ** Some state and local laws require healthcare personnel to disclose sexual assault incidents to law enforcement. NDAA FY 16 Section 536 preempts mandatory reporting laws if the victim reports to an MTF first, thereby preserving the Restricted Reporting option. Your SAPR VA can help you navigate your state and local laws.

Substance Abuse Control Officer Mission
Substance Abuse Control Officer provides substance abuse education/prevention, urinalysis screening and assistance to the Commander on substance abuse related matters. The Substance Abuse Program utilizes evidence-based programming and practices, including prevention education, early intervention initiatives, counseling, and drug and alcohol deterrent activities in order to promote overall health and mission readiness.

Alcohol Use
The Marine Corps objective is to eliminate alcohol abuse. Combating the debilitating threat posed by alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency on both Marines and mission readiness requires a total commitment from all levels of leadership. Leaders must be alert to characteristics of alcohol abuse and with the symptoms of the disease of alcohol dependency. All leaders must not in any way promote or condone alcohol misuse.

Drug Use
The use of illegal drugs undermines the effective performance of Marines and is contrary to the Marine Corps' Mission. Acts of use, possession, trafficking, or distribution of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia will not be tolerated. These offenses must be dealt with swiftly and effectively to the fullest extent provided for by law and regulations. Civilians engaging in such acts will be detained and turned over to a local law enforcement agency for prosecution under the applicable criminal statutes.

Media Engagement 
Media Engagement provides a method of communication with the public through the media. Dealing with the media requires the highest level of professional competence and sophistication. The public information responsibility is focused primarily on the accurate and timely dissemination of information to local area and national news media about the people, actions, and activities of the Marine Corps. This function involves daily contact with representatives of the civilian print and electronic news media. Although timely reporting is vital to a successful relationship with the civilian media, credibility is equally essential to a professional and enduring relationship. Requests for information in response to media queries must be responded to quickly, accurately, and candidly.

The Marine Corps Installations West - Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Media Engagement Office facilitates media queries and escorts media aboard Camp Pendleton for all Marine Corps Base related activities or events.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Community relations extends beyond issuing information. It involves fostering relations with the neighboring community, including Marine Corps Reserve components, in a direct community and military interface.

A good-neighbor policy is established through involvement with the communities and extends support to families of deployed Marines. It also helps reinforce the idea that the Marine Corps is a meaningful and rewarding career choice for America’s youth.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

MCB Camp Pendleton Northern Water System and Southern Water System, Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

The health and well-being of our service members, their families, and civilian employees remains a high priority for us.

MCB Camp Pendleton routinely monitors for the presence of drinking water contaminants. On April 10, 2024, the EPA announced a final rule on drinking water standards for certain PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The rule establishes maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for several PFAS in drinking water, provides three years for regulated drinking water systems to begin monitoring and related public notifications, and five years for purveyors to install system improvements to comply with the new MCL levels.  As a proactive approach and in anticipation of EPA’s requirements, a Department of Defense (DoD) policy was issued on 11 July 2023 that required testing of all DoD-owned drinking water systems for PFAS by 31 December 2023. Samples from the Northern Water System were collected on 16 Aug 2024 and results were received on 30 Aug 2024. Samples from the Southern Water System were collected on 5 Aug 2024 and 15 Aug 2024 and results were received on 19 August 2024 and 28 Aug 2024. Northern Water System provides drinking water to residents and occupants located in 51-64 Area (excluding San Mateo Point Housing). Southern Water System provides drinking water to residents and occupants located in 11-43 Area.

In accordance with the 11 July 2023 DoD policy mentioned above, we are required to monitor drinking water for PFAS at a minimum of every two years and to notify the public of detectable PFAS in the drinking water supplied by DoD-owned drinking water systems. DoD policy also requires us to take action to provide alternative drinking water if the concentrations of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) exceed 70 parts per trillion (ppt) (also expressed as nanograms per liter [ng/L]), individually or combined. The sample results are below these levels. 

All reported results for the Northern Water System and the Southern Water System are non-detected (< 2 ng/L).

What are Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and where do they come from?

PFAS are a group of thousands of man-made chemicals that have been used in a variety of industrial and consumer products around the world for decades. Due to their widespread use and environmental persistence, most people have been exposed to certain PFAS. They have been used to make coatings and products that are used as oil and water repellents in carpets, clothing, paper packaging for food, and cookware. They are also contained in some aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) used for fighting petroleum fires at airfields and for industrial fire suppression.

What does this mean?

Research is still ongoing to understand the mechanisms of PFAS toxicity. The risk of health effects associated with PFAS depends on exposure factors (dose, frequency, route, duration), individual factors (sensitivity and chronic disease burden), and other determinants of health. The epidemiological evidence suggests associations between increases in exposure to specific PFAS and certain health effects.  For specific information about the health effects of PFAS exposure, please visit https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pfas/.

Are there regulations for PFAS in drinking water?

As noted above, on April 10, 2024, the EPA announced a final rule on drinking water standards for certain PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The rule applies to all regulated drinking water purveyors, including Department of Defense (DoD). The rule establishes maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for several PFAS in drinking water, sets forth requirements to establish monitoring and notification requirements within three years, and provides five years for regulated drinking water purveyors to comply with the specified MCL levels. We are working to protect the drinking water on our installation and ensure compliance with EPA standards in advance of the deadline. 

What is being done?

MCB Camp Pendleton will continue to monitor for PFAS in the treated drinking water for Northern Water System and Southern Water System on a periodic basis as directed by DoD policy and take appropriate action, as required. Additionally, MCB Camp Pendleton in coordination with Marine Corps Installations Command and joint service partners will continue to evaluate the potential need for mitigation measures, as necessary. MCB Camp Pendleton will post sampling results of detected PFAS on the installation’s public webpage and in the drinking water system’s Consumer Confidence Report(s) (accessible at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton > Main Menu > Staff & Agencies > Assistant Chief of Staff G-F > Water Resources Division (marines.mil).  These efforts and required DOD timelines are in advance of EPA requirements noted in their recent regulations.

What can I do?

There is nothing you need to do, as there is no immediate risk to the general population. You may continue to use the water for all consumptive purposes (drinking, bathing, showering, cooking, dishwashing, and maintaining oral hygiene).

For more information, please visit https://www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-explained, or inquiries to Water Resources Division Water Section at 760-725-0602. If you have any questions concerning PFAS in Camp Pendleton's drinking water, you can also visit the Interactive Customer Evaluation site, here.

Camp Pendleton's 125,547 acres host a self-sustaining water supply, sewage treatment plants, telephone and electrical systems. With a daytime population of more than 70,000 , Camp Pendleton must maintain its self-sustaining capabilities. To help maintain the high demand on Pendleton's utilities, there are seven sewage treatment plants, 150 miles of sewer mainlines, 24 wells, 375 miles of water mainlines, 23 reservoirs, 145 miles of gas lines, 335 miles of electrical lines, 215 electric substations and two landfills. Along with having its own utility distribution systems, Camp Pendleton also maintains 7,300 family housing units and is constructing additional units in conjunction with maintaining 18,000 permanent party billeting spaces. In addition, there are more than 2,600 buildings and structures. The largest structure on Base is the 6,000-foot runway at the Air Station. With constant training on Camp Pendleton, preserving the environment and compliance with waste reduction is an important consideration. In 1986, a successful recycling program was established. In 2008, the Base recycled 5.3 million pounds of cardboard and 2.2 million pounds of paper, constituting a savings of more than 4,352 cubic yards of landfill space. Camp Pendleton was the first Marine Corps installation to safely recycle expended brass casings for resale, as required by DoD.

Reference Desk Mission
The Reference Desk serves as the primary entry point for users to access TSD supported services. It supports all units on Camp Pendleton for approving and/or disapproving training for TSD training devices, while providing accurate scheduling of TSD training devices and contractor hours for ranges that fall under TSD.

Scheduling Services
The Reference Desk schedules selected training systems using the same scheduling and control system used by Range Operation Division to schedule live-fire ranges. The scheduling system, Range Facility Management Support System (RFMSS), allows users to schedule TSD supported systems using internet web access. The Reference Desk helps guide units in how to utilize RFMSS for their own scheduling requirements. Units that do not have RFMSS access can still request scheduling support through the Reference Desk by submitting a Training Device Request form to the Reference Desk email or by Fax to (760) 763-7999. An approved schedule is forwarded to the individual training system operators for execution. 

Scheduling Considerations
Requests for training of a supported training system more than ninety (90) days out will not be approved without prior coordination with the Branch Manager. Training Device Request Form

TRAINING SUPPORT PLATOON
Training Support Platoon (TSP). TSP, or “Landlords” are located in Bldg 430316 and provide oversight for Ranges 131, 132 and 133 MOUT Complex; Kilo-two Combat Town; Ranges 215A, 218A, 223B, and 409A; the CCS, HEAT, MET, and the Base Training Center; and provide full spectrum support of the SAAB PITs. The live-fire ranges and training facilities not scheduled by the Reference Desk are scheduled by Range Operations Division (ROD) Range Scheduling Section.

Training Support Platoon Mission
(1) The Marines from Training Support Platoon are responsible for the property management in support of the above listed ranges, range complexes, and simulators.

(2) These Marines check the using unit in on the ranges listed above, liaison with COMS support contractor (as required) to facilitate training, and inspect the range upon completion of training. These Marines are Range Safety Officer (RSO) qualified; however, they do not have Range Safety Specialist authority (as that authority is retained within ROD) and therefore must call LONGRIFLE to report user range regulation violations.

Q. What is a living will?
A. A living will is a document that is signed by you which says that if you enter into a persistent vegetative state, such as being in a coma, you are being kept alive only by life support, and you probably are not going to be able to live without life support ever again, then you want to have life support withdrawn and die a natural death. A living will prevents your family and friends from having to make the decision of whether you should be able to die a natural death in such a situation. 

Q. If I deploy, may I have my automobile lease cancelled?
A. Yes, if you deploy for more than 180 days, then you may have your automobile lease cancelled under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), so that you won’t be paying money on a car that you are not using.

Q. What should I know before buying a car?
A. Many things, but know first and foremost that buying a car is a big financial decision and can be very complex. Take your time, and make sure that you are getting a good deal. Stay away from shady used car dealers in town who prey on Marines and sailors and pressure them into making bad financial decisions. Feel free to come see Legal Assistance before buying a car in order to see if you are making a good decision.

Q. Is there anything that I can do to safeguard my credit history when I’m on active duty?
A. Yes. If you are an active duty member of the military, you may have an active duty fraud alert placed on your credit by the three major credit reporting agencies. This active duty fraud alert will help protect you against identity theft. See the following link: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt147.shtm

Q. If I deploy or PCS, may I break my residential lease?
A. Yes. If you deploy for more than 90 days or PCS, including EAS, then the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) lets you have your lease broken. Under the SCRA, you must give written notice of termination AND a copy of your orders to your landlord, and your landlord has 30 days after the next date when rent is due before he is required to break the lease. For example, if your rent is due on the first day of each month and you give written notice of termination and a copy of your orders to your landlord on 4 April, then your landlord has 30 days after 1 May, the next date when rent is due, before he is required to break the lease. So, the earliest date when the lease would have to be broken is 31 May.

The Legal Services Support Section at Camp Pendleton offers assistance to individuals with legal problems in regards to billing errors, defective goods, theft or fraudulent use of your credit, landlord tenant issues, and contracts.

Anyone concerned with one of these issues can come in during our walk-in hours to speak with an attorney. (see Services & Hours) Our attorneys will be able to provide guidance on the law, but will not be able to represent you in court.

The attorneys will also be able to recommend the correct course of action to take, or contact the opposing party in order to resolve the dispute. In order to help the attorney it is important that you bring all necessary documents with you to the walk-in appointment.

Your documents will provide the attorney with the necessary information in order to act on your behalf and settle your dispute.

Certain issues can be handled through Small Claims Court. Small Claims is a proceeding where both parties come before a judge without lawyers and tell their story. The judge will then make a determination based on the facts presented. Small Claims Court can be an inexpensive alternative. For more information please read the Small Claims Court document

Another useful source of information is www.sdcourt.ca.gov

All three credit bureaus will allow consumers to "freeze" their credit histories to counter the threat of identity theft. Each Credit Reporting Agency usually will charge $10 to "freeze" or "thaw" an account.

The Legal Services Support Section can prepare and execute wills free of charge for service members, families, and retirees.

A Detailed Will is appropriate when an individual has significant assets or would like more elaborate estate planning provisions. A testamentary trust may be an appropriate estate-planning tool utilized by a Legal Assistance Attorney in limited circumstances. You should speak to a Legal Assistance attorney if you believe that you need a testamentary trust.

You may also obtain an Advanced Medical Directive and Living Will at the Detailed Will appointment if you desire.

An Advanced Medical Directive appoints someone to make health care decisions for you if you become incapacitated.

A Living Will addresses the testator’s wishes with regard to the withholding or withdrawal of live support treatment.

Detailed Wills are by appointment only so that an attorney may draft and execute the document.

The Legal Services Support Section can assists individuals with landlord/tenant matters.
Should an individual have any problems with a landlord, our office can provide assistance on the law and contact the opposing party to resolve the problem.

• Service Members Civil Relief Act - Letter for Residential Lease Template

Common issues that this office can assists you with:
• Rental property that is uninhabitable
• Illegal retainer of security deposit or prepaid rent
• Illegal fines or penalties
• Early termination of a lease

In order to ensure full assistance, an individual should bring the following items:
• Rental Agreement
• All correspondence with the landlord or property manager
• Contact information on the landlord or property manager

Security Deposit Refunds
One of the most common problems is a disagreement between the landlord and the tenant over the refund of the security deposit when the tenant moves out. California law specifically allows the landlord to use a tenant’s security deposit for 4 purposes: unpaid rent; cleaning (but only to make the unit as clean as it was when the tenant moved in); for repair of damages (other than normal wear and tear); if the rental agreement allows it then the cost to replace keys or furniture. Under California law, 21 calendar days or less after you move, your landlord must either: Send you a full refund of your security deposit; or mail or personally deliver to you an itemized statement that lists the amounts of any deductions from you security deposit and the reasons for the deductions, together with a refund of any amounts not deducted. The landlord also must send you copies of receipts for the charges that the landlord incurred to repair or clean the rental unit and that the landlord deducted from you security deposit. The landlord must include the receipts with the itemized statement.

Uninhabitable Property
There are many kinds of defects that could make a rental unit unlivable. Should the individual feel the premises are uninhabitable, you should inform the landlord in writing of the situation. Individuals with landlord/tenant issues should consult an attorney prior to conducting self-help repairs, withholding rent, or abandoning the property.

Early Termination
Military members are entitled to break a lease before its normal expiration date if they receive PCS orders or deployment orders for a deployment that will last more than 90 days. The tenant must provide written notice to the landlord and provide a copy of the orders. The military member is liable for the remainder of the current month plus one more month on the lease. For example: If a member provides notice and orders on July 30, the lease will terminate on Aug 31, but if the member provides notice and orders on Aug 2, the lease will terminate on Sept 30. Proper planning is important to forego having to pay an extra month of rent.
