Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Responding

The Department of Defense and U.S. Marine Corps is committed to providing you full and complete care, treatment and counseling. Marine Corps Base Quantico will ensure you will receive all necessary services, even if it must obtain them from civilian providers.

The position of Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) has been established to coordinate sexual assault victim care. Upon receipt of a report of sexual assault, the SARC will assign a Uniformed Victim Advocate (UVA) or Victim Advocate (VA) to help you obtain necessary services and to provide crisis intervention, referral and ongoing non-clinical support. Support will include providing information on available options and resources so you can make informed decisions about your case.

The UVA/VA will accompany you, if desired, to investigative interviews, medical examinations and follow-up appointments.

Your UVA/VA will continue to assist you until you no longer feel a need for support.
