suicide-related events. Sections of the
toolkit were specifically designed to
facilitate leader decision-making,
support, and management of suiciderelated events. While this toolkit is a
critical step in supporting postvention
in the military, it has yet to be formally
evaluated. In accordance with
Department of Defense Instruction
(DoDI) 6490.16, DSPO and Military
Departments must ‘‘ensure that suicide
prevention activities are developed from
a relevant evidence-base and have an
evaluation capability’’ prior to
implementation. Suicide prevention
activities that were in place prior to
release of the DoDI 6490.16 must be
reviewed for improvement and gather
program evaluation data. In addition,
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) Report GAO–22–105108 titled
‘‘DoD Should Enhance Oversight,
Staffing, Guidance, and Training
Affecting Certain Remote Installations,’’
recommended that the Under Secretary
of Defense for Personnel and Readiness,
in collaboration with DSPO, establish
guidance to address commanders’
response to suicide attempts, including
the extent of any responsibilities related
to reintegration of Service members into
the workplace following a suicide
attempt. The proposed project will
allow DSPO to meet the DoDI 6490.16
requirement for development of an
evaluation plan for the DSPO
Postvention Toolkit, while
simultaneously meeting GAO’s
requirements to explore and develop
resources to meet the needs of military

1. The Radio Frequency TOW 2A (RF)
Missile (BGM–71–4B–RF) is a direct
attack missile designed to defeat
armored vehicles, reinforced urban
structures, field fortification and other
such targets. TOW Missiles are fired

launched from the same launcher
platforms as the existing wire-guided
TOW 2A missile without modification

(both wire and RF) contains two tracker
beacons (Xenon and thermal) for the
launcher to track and guide the missile
in flight. Guidance commands from the
launcher are provided to the missile by
the RF link contained within the missile
case.

defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
