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.
