Service Member's Rights
The Department of Defense Victim/Witness Assistance Program assists victims of crime — including sexual assault — by providing information and access to resources. DoD Directive 1030.1, Victim and Witness Assistance (April 13, 2004) and DoD Instruction 1030.2 Victim and Witness Procedures (June 4, 2004) implement statutory requirements for the DoD programs. These DoD policies also provide guidance for assisting victims and witnesses of crime from initial contact through investigation, prosecution and confinement. Particular attention is paid to victims of serious and violent crime, including child abuse, domestic violence and sexual misconduct.
