A 2012 report issued by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, together with the DoD’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, specifies the need for improvements in “advocacy coordination, medical services, legal support, and [behavioral health] counseling for the victim” of
military sexual assault.
This issue poses grave concern in the military as reports of sexual violation and assault have

Overall, 6.1 percent of female and 1.2 percent of male active-duty service members indicated they experienced unwanted sexual contact in 2012. For women, this rate is statistically
significantly higher than in 2010, when it was reported at 4.4 percent
