Welcome

On behalf of the District's Command Team, greetings and welcome aboard!
You are a welcomed addition to the 12th Marine Corps District (12thMCD) family, and we look forward to working with you.

The goal of the Unit, Personal, and Family Readiness Program is to provide support to Marines and their families. We take pride in ensuring that we are offering the best quality support for the unit, the Marine, and the family members. Family, to us, is defined as all members of a Marine's family.  You will have an opportunity upon check-in, to tell us who family is to you through the updating of your MOL Family Readiness Module.  Support for you and your family shall be provided to regardless of your marital status, to include: your spouse, children, and/or your designated parents/extended family members. This service and support are paramount to an increase in personal and unit readiness.  Personal, and Family Readiness is a priority and is the primary foundation for unit and mission readiness.

As the Deployment Readiness Coordinator (DRC), my primary duty is to support the Commanding Officer with communication to the Marines and their family members, to provide information and resource referral, to provide deployment and readiness support, and volunteer management. I also serve as an informational link between the 12thMCD Commander and your Recruiting Station (RS) Uniformed Readiness Coordinators (URCs). Your unit URCs will keep you informed of training events, briefs, local, current and command-sponsored events. You will receive e-mails, phone calls and messages from MOL informing you of what is taking place within your respective command. It is imperative that you contact your URC if you have any major life events, or changes in contact information, so that they can update their databases.

As soon as you come on deck, ensure that you check in with either me at the District HQs, or your URC at the RS. We have important documents for you to complete.  Spouses and other family members are welcomed to contact me or the RS URC for information about the area, resource referrals, and volunteer opportunities.

Our various Command Teams will ensure you are well informed about all programs and resources available to you and your family while you are a member of the 12thMCD family. We welcome any feedback on events you attend or would like to attend. We are always open to suggestions and new ideas. We look forward to hearing from you. 

On behalf of the Command Team, welcome aboard. I along with the other URCs look forward to assisting you and your family, with any concerns you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

MISSION

The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program serves as a resource for military members and their adult dependents who have been victims of sexual assault.  The SAPR program is the single point of contact to facilitate support services through victim advocacy, resources, and referrals and it provides policy and program support to all commanders throughout 12^th Marine Corps District (12MCD) while remaining committed to sexual assault prevention through training, education and community awareness.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The 12MCD SAPR program consists of a District Command SARC and at least one SAPR Victim Advocate at each of the geographically dispersed Recruiting Stations ensuring program support throughout the AOR.

SERVICES

Support a positive command climate in which victims and those who assists victims of sexual assault feel confident about reporting their experiences without retaliation.

Confidential 24/7 access to credentialed advocates who provide crisis intervention and referrals to supportive resources, including medical care and dedicated legal representation.

Victim reporting options to file either a confidential Restricted Report or an Unrestricted Report which services as a bridge to command involvement and offender accountability. 

Independent investigation of unrestricted and third-party reports of sexual assault incidents by the appropriate investigative agency (e.g., NCIS).

YOUR OPTIONS

Military members and their adult dependents who are victims of sexual assault have two reporting options:

Restricted Reporting – Allows a victim of sexual assault to confidentially disclose their assault to those with confidentiality: SAPR Victim Advocates, SARCs, Health Care Providers/Counselors, Victims' Legal Counsel, or Chaplains. The restricted reporting option does not trigger command notification or a law enforcement investigation. Information about available resources will be offered such as medical treatment, counseling, chaplain services, and advocacy through the SAPR program.

Unrestricted Reporting – Allows a victim of sexual assault to receive supportive services (medical treatment, counseling, and advocacy services), an official law enforcement investigation, and Command involvement.  When selecting unrestricted reporting, it is recommended that current reporting channels – SAPR VA, SARC, chain of command, health care professional, Victims' Legal Counsel, or law enforcement – are utilized to ensure that details are limited to those with have a legitimate need to know. 

Applicants, prospects, and members of the Delayed Entry Program who report a sexual assault will receive prompt and professional care. SAPR will prioritize the victim’s welfare and privacy, ensuring they are treated with compassion and respect. SAPR will facilitate access to appropriate services by referring victims to civilian law enforcement and local community resources. Victims will receive immediate crisis intervention support and a seamless transition to civilian services. 
 

LEARN MORE

To gain a thorough understanding of your reporting options and the available resources, you are encouraged to speak to a SAPR VA or the 12MCD SARC.  Speaking with these individuals first is the best way to protect your privacy and confidentiality.  Disclosure to others may limit your available options. Additional program information, policies, and procedures are available in MCO 1752.5C and MCRCO 1752.1C.
