DoD Keeps Victim Assistance Form
If you are a military sexual assault victim, a parent, family member, friend, or SAPR support person, the DoD will keep using DD Form 2985 (DoD SAPRO Request for Assistance) so you can request help. The form is used to refer requests for action, maintain a database of inquiries, provide follow-up services, and inform improvements to sexual assault prevention and response programs.
Form Is Voluntary — 30 Minutes Burden
Completing DD Form 2985 is voluntary and, if you choose to complete it, you will spend about 30 minutes. The DoD estimates 150 respondents per year, with 150 annual responses and 75 total annual burden hours.
