The survey assesses topics such as financial well-being, retention ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:16 Jul 17, 2023 Jkt 259001 intention, stress, tempo, readiness, food security and suicide awareness. Data are aggregated by appropriate demographics, including Service, paygrade, gender, race/ethnicity, and other indicators. In order to be able to meet reporting requirements for DoD leadership, the Military Services, and Congress, the survey needs to be completed in 2023. The legal requirements for the SOFS–A can be found in the FY2016 NDAA, Title VI, Subtitle F, Subpart 661. This legal requirement mandates that the SOFS–A solicit information on financial literacy and preparedness.

Needs and Uses: Data collection is necessary to provide recommendations in order to better address the needs of service members who have experienced harassment. We will be conducting focus groups with service members to determine their understanding of new policies changes and what services they would like available if they were to experience harassment.

However, the Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) workforce receives fewer than 2,000 SH complaints annually. Prevalence rates for other forms of harassment— including hazing, bullying, and incidents based on race and sexual orientation—are not assessed as frequently. However, Service members experiencing all forms of harassment could benefit from support services. Any approach to address harassment within DoD will require a significant commitment of resources. Existing academic literature, data analytics, and research studies cannot serve as a complete guide for determining the ramifications of addressing these important changes. The Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military (IRC) found the Military Departments’ response to SH complaints from Service members is inconsistent and fails to render proper assistance. Specifically, DoD’s approach to SH is fractured across several components and should be addressed in direct coordination with sexual assault prevention and response (SAPR) policies to reflect the established continuum of harm, namely that from sexual harassment to sexual assault. The IRC’s cross-cutting recommendation 1 prescribed a stop gap measure to support SH victims with appropriate SAPR services while the Department undertakes a review of all policies and structures tasked with addressing elements of the military’s SH response. More broadly, DoD Instruction 1020.03 requires harassment prevention and response policies to address a wide range of misconduct, but does not specify what kinds of response services, care, and support are appropriate for Service members reporting harassment.
