DSAID is a centralized case-level database, which collects and maintains information on sexual assaults involving Armed Forces members. DSAID gives Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs) the enhanced ability to provide comprehensive and standardized victim case management.

DSAID benefits victims by providing proof when victim ETS, PTS, chapter or retire from military in order to receive VA benefits.

DSAID is a Common Access Card-enabled system and is accessed from a .mil network by authorized individuals.

The form can be used by the SARC capturing victim information to be entered into DSAID. It is also used to provide information to a Commander so they may create a SAIRO; The DD Form 2965 must be destroyed within 8 days after a sexual assault was reported.

DD Form 2965 can be located on the DoD Forms Management site. Select DD2965 after you search the following link: https://www.esd.whs.mil/Directives/forms/dd2500_2999/"

Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARCs)/ Victim Advocates (VAs) are the primary users of DD Form 2965. Applicable sections of the form may also be used by Military Criminal Investigative Organization and Staff Judge Advocate personnel to provide required investigative and disposition information to SARCs for entry into DSAID. DD Form 2965 will NOT be completed by victims. SARCs/VAs should obtain information from other first responders (HCPs, MCIO, etc.) rather than ask the victim directly.

The form is NOT mandated by the Department.

Due to the sensitive nature of the information captured on the form, it is imperative that users DESTROY the form immediately after all information has been entered into DSAID (in accordance with General Records Schedule 4.3, Item 12). DD Form 2965 will not be uploaded to DSAID. This guidance for the disposition of DD Form 2965 is also indicated at the top of every page of the form.

Data about sexual assaults committed by and against Service members. The type of data contained within DSAID differs depending on whether the victim chooses to report a sexual assault incident as Unrestricted or Restricted. Case information is organized into the following five sections: Victim Case Information, Investigative Agency, Subject Information, SARC Transfer, and Incident Detail. Unrestricted Reporting: DSAID contains information, when available, about the nature of the assault, the victim, the subject, and case outcomes in connection with the assault. The signed DD Form 2910 is uploaded. Restricted Reporting: DSAID only contains the nature of the assault. No personally identifying information about the victim or the subject is included in DSAID. The signed DD Form 2910 is not uploaded.

The Victim Reporting Preference Statement. A victim chooses Unrestricted or Restricted Reporting, documents that choice on DD Form 2910, signs, and dates it.

Replacement of lost DD Form 2910, Victim Reporting Preference Statement. DSAID is used for case management.

Retaliation Reporting Statement for Unrestricted sexual assault cases.

Yes, PII is included in cases of unrestricted reports only. The DoD has an obligation to care for and provide services to victims from the time they report until they no longer desire services. This information is how the DoD ensures they are fulfilling its obligation.

SARCs, a limited number of SAPR VAs (by exception), Office of the Judge Advocate General Personnel, and Program Managers can access DSAID. Personnel that has access to DSAID, only have access to the cases that are under their location ID or within their area of responsibility (AOR); an individual that has access to DSAID does not have access to all the cases in DSAID.

If victims and/or subjects want to access information about themselves collected in DSAID, requests for data will be handled in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

DoD has provided high security measures in place to maintain and protect the privacy of personnel PII.

2910s are limited to 1 MB in size. Also, they cannot be added until after the VA is assigned to the case.

It will save, however it will appear on the monthly QC report as an error.

Per DoD guidance, the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) will contact the victim one year after the SAFE was conducted to inquire whether the victim wishes to change their reporting option to unrestricted and 30 days prior to expiration date according to pg.75 of DODI 6495.02.

According to AR 600-20, restricted report of a sexual assault notification is the senior commander within 24 hours of occurrence. All unrestricted reported incidents of sexual assault are reported to the first LTC in the chain of command.

DSAID - The Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID) is the Department of Defense's authoritative, centralized case-level database used to collect and maintain information on sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces, including tracking and reporting on sexual assault-related retaliation data. DoD SAPRO operates DSAID and works collaboratively with the Services to implement and sustain the system.

ICRS - The Integrated Case Reporting System (ICRS) is a U.S. Army's authoritative, centralized case-level database used to collect and maintain information on sexual harassment involving members of the U.S. Army, including tracking and reporting on sexual harassment-related retaliation data. U.S. Army ARD/SHARP operates ICRS and works collaboratively with the U.S. Army Commands to implement and sustain the system.

All users requesting access to U.S. Army's SH/SA managed system are required to contact their Commands Head Quarters SHARP PM or their Installations Lead SARC for assisting in gathering and processing the required documentation for access. Once the required documentation is completed the Head Quarters SHARP PM will submit the package to the U. S. Army SHARP Service Desk for review and activation. (NOTE: The SARC requesting access to the DSAID, ICRS and Catch Systems is required to be register in the systems before the accounts can be activated)

No copies will be made of the completed form, and all completed forms must be shredded once the information is entered in DSAID and within 8 calendar days of the SAIRO report.

Please contact the SHARP Program Office’s Help Desk for further instructions.

Yes, unless it is a domestic violence (DV), Family Advocacy Program (FAP) case, or a juvenile is involved.

No. See above.

Yes for SM and dependent family member over 18 years old.

No. They are referred to FAP and entered into the FAP system.

When the case has been adjudicated and the victim no longer desires SHARP services, which is consist of assistance from the SARC and/or VA.

Yes, but only for their MP organization.

HQDA, DCS, G-1, ARD, SHARP Division, Data Management Team approves DSAID and ICRS accounts at the same time, so you must meet the same requirements that we have for DSAID access.

An ICRS user can only register for one role within the ICRS application but multiple roles may be assigned to a SHARP user by HQDA. If you need multiple roles, please contact the help desk.

Please contact the SHARP Division Help Desk for further instructions.

There are five main roles: Brigade SARC, Lead SARC, Program Manager – ACOM/ASCC/DRU, Program Manager – Corps, and Program Manager – Division.

Brigade and Lead SARCs can edit all details of any case they can access. Brigade SARCs are given access to cases for their specific brigade(s) while Lead SARCs are given access to manage and edit all cases on their installation (either entered directly or entered by a brigade SARC on their installation). Program Managers for the Senior Commander have the same access in DSAID and ICRS as the Lead SARC.

Program Managers have no ability to edit cases in ICRS. Each level of PM has view-only access to all cases managed by their command, including cases entered by their brigade SARCs or entered by a Lead SARC on an installation managed by the command.

An ICRS role consists of the Role and Code, both of which can be found on the My Profile page:

• Brigade SARC – choose the UIC of the brigade authorized by G3/5/7 for your SARC position
• Lead SARC – choose an “L Code” (L000XX) that represents your installation
• Program Manager (ACOM/ASCC/DRU) – choose a “P Code” (P000XX) that represents your Command (ACOM/ASCC/DRU)
• Program Manager (Corps) – choose the UIC that represents your Corps (or equivalent unit)
• Program Manager (Division) – choose the UIC that represents your Division (or equivalent unit)

First check to make sure you have a valid ICRS user account. When you click the CAC Logon button, if you do not have a user account, the application will alert you of this. You will need to fill out the User Registration form to gain access to the ICRS application.

If you have a valid ICRS user account, please note that you must have both the DoD Root Certificate and your CAC identity certificate installed on your workstation. These certificates are digital documents that provide the identity of a web site or an individual. If you do not have the DoD Root Certificate or your CAC certificate installed, you should contact your system administrator. If at any time during Logon you are prompted for a missing certificate or to choose a certificate where no certificate exists, contact your system administrator for assistance.

If you have a new CAC, previous certificates need to be retrieved.

SARC or PM users may update basic demographic information (i.e. First Name, Last Name, and Telephone Number) using the My Profile page. Other user account information (i.e. User Role). If you need any information associated with your ICRS user account updated please contact the SHARP Help Desk.

Real-time secure data lookup of current complainant and reported offender demographic information is done using a web service interface with the Integrated Total Army Personnel Database (ITAPDB).

There are three main reports:

Informal Complaint: An allegation, made either orally or in writing, that is not submitted as a formal complaint through the office designated to receive harassment complaints. The allegation may be submitted to a person in a position of authority within the Service member’s organization or outside of the Service member’s organization.

Formal Complaint: An allegation submitted in writing to the staff designated to receive such complaints in Military Department operating instructions and regulations; or an informal complaint, which the commanding officer or other person in charge of the organization, determines warrants an investigation.

Anonymous Complaint: Complaint received by a commanding officer or supervisor, regardless of the means of transmission, from an unknown or unidentified source, alleging harassment. The individual is not required to divulge any personally identifiable information.

The reporting page allows all ICRS users to access non-PII information appropriate for their role in an exportable format. Two main reports are currently available:

• Harassment Case Report – provides a listing of all data (except PII) for each individual case
• Annual Report – reports on cases using on the DoD SH template for cases reported during the FY.
• Brigade SARCs can view a report with all the cases they entered or manage and Lead SARCs can view a report of all cases that either they or a Brigade SARC on their installation enters or manages.
• PMs can view a report of all cases involving victims or subjects in their command, corps or division, as well as cases entered by their Brigade SARCs. ACOM/ASCC/DRU PMs will also see cases entered by their Lead SARCs but must coordinate with Lead SARCs or HQDA for a complete report of all cases on a specific installation.

Only users with the role of HQDA are allowed to add notifications to the ICRS application. To add a notification from the Home page an HQDA user can click the Add New Notification button under the Notifications section of the page. A Notifications form will appear. Fill in all fields and click Save New Notification. The notification will then be displayed on every user’s home page.

Please email all feedback on the ICRS application to the SHARP Program Office’s Help Desk.

Yes, you can add informal sexual harassment complaints in ICRS and annotate informal sexual harassment number on memorandum.

Preferable within.

Yes, you add anonymous complaints in ICRS and annotate ICRS number on memorandum. For the same name section, mark “unknown”.

No, ICRS is not going away, it will continue to be used for sexual harassment complaints only.

Formal, informal, and anonymous complaints of sexual harassment will be entered into ICRS. The SARC is only responsible for entering complaints that they are made aware of.

Currently, SARC roles are available for use in ICRS. Army Reserve units will generally have a Lead SARC at the two-star command level.

Once you have fulfilled all criteria for a new account, the SHARP Help Desk will review your request and either activate your account or place it in a pending status. You will then receive an email that informs you that you have either been granted access to ICRS or will identify the reason your account request remains in a pending status.

Please email all feedback on the ICRS application to the SHARP Program Office’s Help Desk.

NOVA is the National Organization for Victim Assistance, a 501(c) (3) organization. It is the oldest national victim assistance organization of its type in the United States. NOVA established the National Advocate Credentialing Program (NACP) in 2003 as the first voluntary credentialing program available to crime victim advocates nationwide.

No. The Certification requirements are similar for the civilian victim advocate program and D-SAACP, but are not the same. You must apply to D-SAACP and submit an application as a “new” applicant—not a renewal candidate.

No. D-SAACP accepts applications only from DoD personnel. Congress has mandated that all SARCs and SAPR VAs must be DoD military or civilian employees by October 1, 2013.

Anyone providing military sexual assault victim advocacy services must be certified by October 1, 2013. To continue providing services as an Assistant SARC, you must apply for D-SAACP credential.

The D-SAACP Certification Committee reviews applications on a quarterly basis (January, April, July, and October). Within 30-60 days of submitting your application, you will be notified of your Certification status first via an email from NOVA, and then by mail. If you have questions, NOVA can be contacted at dsaacp-followup@trynova.org or at 703-535-6621.

Yes. D-SAACP Certification can be revoked for several reasons, to include violation of the SARC/SAPR VA Code of Professional Ethics. You can find the revocation reasons in DODI 6495.03 28 Feb 2020, Enclosure 3, 4. D-SAACP suspension and revocation guidelines.

Seek current SARC first. If not available, seek out installation SARC.

Part-time or collateral duty, SARCs and SAPR VAs are eligible for all of the D-SAACP levels. Part-time hours can be calculated by actual hours worked performing SARC/SAPR VA duties, including on-call hours. For example, if you are on-call 8 hours per week/per year, the number of hours credited would be 416/per year. If you are a collateral duty SARC on-call 24/7, 365 days a year, the maximum number of hours credited is 1,950 hours/per year. The Memorandum of Confirmation must verify your on-call assignment. If you have specific questions about calculating your service hours, contact NOVA at dsaacp-followup@trynova.org or at 703-535-6621.

You need 32 hours of continuing education within 2 years prior to recertification.

The Academy would not make exceptions to Policy for the NG training. The policy in use today for the NG was determined by the NGB (when on Title 32) - which is currently that they must attend the Foundation Course (80hr). The NG must still meet the AC requirements when under Title 10 (which is the Career Course requirement). That is why they send students to the Academy prior to deployment.

The SHARP Foundation Course provides instruction that prepares military and civilian collateral duty SARCs and VAs for their roles and responsibilities at the battalion level and below. The minimum grade requirements for Soldiers to serve as a SARC are SFC, CW3, MAJ or GS-11 if a civilian. The minimum grade requirements for a VA are SSG, CW2, 1LT, or GS-09 if a civilian. An Exception to Policy for a rank waiver must be signed by the first GO/SES in the SARC or VA candidate's chain of command, concurrence from the ACOM/ASCC/DRU SHARP PM, and approved by the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness (ARD).

Once the SHARP PM validates that the Soldiers/Civilians meet the requirements to serve in a SHARP position and have had all the required screenings completed, the SHARP PM will enroll the individual into the Foundation Course through the Installation Quota Source Manager.

The SHARP SARC/VA Career Course provides instruction that prepares full-time military and Army Civilian SARCs and VAs for their roles and responsibilities at the brigade level and higher. The minimum grade requirements for Soldiers to serve as a SARC are SFC, CW3, MAJ or GS-11 if a civilian. The minimum grade requirements for a VA are SSG, CW2, 1LT, or GS-09 if a civilian. An Exception to Policy (ETP) for a rank waiver must be signed by the first GO/SES in the SARC or VA candidate's chain of command, concurrence from the ACOM/ASCC/DRU SHARP PM, and approved by the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness (ARD). All required centralized and local screening requirements have been conducted. (IAW Army Directive 2018-16).

Senior ACOM/ASCC/DRU SHARP Program Managers (PMs) provide Command Order of Merit Lists (OML) to the SHARP Academy Operations Branch for inclusion on the Academy’s consolidated “Master” OML. The Command OML template is accompanied by an approved Resident Course Screening Document signed by the Senior PM. The SHARP Academy prioritizes OML entries based upon established criteria that include in order: Deploying personnel, personnel selected to serve as SHARP Trainers (when a scheduled course immediately precedes a Trainer Course), and the date of Command selection (military) or Civilian hire.

SHARP Annual Refresher Training products can be downloaded from the Army Training Network (ATN) at https://atn.army.mil/sexual-harassment-assault-response-and-prevention/sharp-training Note: You must use your CAC Card to access this site.

In accordance with Army Directive 2018-23, dated 8 Nov 18, “Unit leaders will lead the training with the assistance of credentialed SHARP Professionals.” Unit leaders include Non-commissioned Officers, Warrant Officers, Officers, and Army Civilian Supervisors at the first-line leadership level (squad, crew, and section) or higher who plan, prepare, and deliver this training for their assigned personnel.

Observations, lessons, and best practices can be submitted to the Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) or to the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) on their respective websites, or directly to the US Army SHARP Academy by completing an Observation Collection Form. For more information please contact the SHARP Academy's Organization Lesson Manager, Mr. Richard A. Dennis, at (913) 684-5344 or richard.a.dennis4.civ@mail.mil.

All approved SHARP videos are located on MilTube and YouTube. On both sites, Type “SHARP Academy” in the search bar to see all approved videos. Note: When using YouTube, the “see additional items” search algorithms may pull up inappropriate content. Use caution when conducting a search in front of your training audience. A best practice is to have the video pre-loaded and ready for immediate viewing. There are a number of unofficial “SHARP” products on YouTube, which should not be used. The official SHARP Academy page is titled U.S. Army SHARP Academy and will have the SHARP Academy logo on the page.

Foundation Course student quotas are determined four years in advance through a process called the Structured Manning Decision Review (SMDR). Quotas for the SHARP Foundation Course are based off of the total number of required ASI-1B positions across the Army. There are two ways to get additional student quotas. The first, preferred means is through internal collaboration between SHARP Program Managers. If your installation has a requirement to conduct additional training, coordinate with your ACOM SHARP Program Manager to see if there are open seats in another course. The second and official means of requesting additional student quotas is to have your installation quota source manager (normally found in the G3 training section) submit a Training Requirements Arbitration Panel (TRAP) request through the Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS). Contact your SHARP Program Manager first before submitting a TRAP request.

SHARP Foundation Course Instructors (referred to as SHARP Trainers) are Army Civilians filling designated positions who are located at installations throughout CONUS, USARPAC, and USAREUR. SHARP Trainers must successfully complete the SARC/VA Career course at the SHARP Academy. After completion of the SARC/VA Career Course they must attend the SHARP Trainer Course, also at the SHARP Academy. Upon completion of these two courses, they are qualified to serve as instructors for the SHARP Foundation course (80-hour certification) for collateral duty SARCs and VAs. They may also assist the commands with executing their SHARP annual unit refresher training as required/needed.

Currently all SHARP Foundation Course Instructor positions are documented on TDAs as Army Civilians. If there is a validated requirement, ACOMS may request an exception to policy in order to have a service member serve temporarily as a SHARP Foundation Course Instructor. The ACOM must request this ETP in writing to the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness (ARD). Once approved by ARD, the ACOM SHARP PM may request a seat in an upcoming SHARP Trainer Course.

Student book orders are based upon the quarterly schedule of approved Foundation Courses that were requested by the ACOM PMs. The number of books required for each class are submitted by the SHARP Academy to the Army Publishing Directorate (APD). Once orders are processed and funded, the books are then printed and shipped directly to the training location or address provided by the PM who requested the class. This process takes between 8 to 10 weeks, and in order to meet the class start times the order process begins approximately 2 months before the beginning of each quarter. The goal is to ensure delivery of the books at least one week prior to scheduled class start. The two main issues affecting book delivery are: 1 - incorrect addresses provided by the requestor; 2 - the training location addressee designated to receive the books is not aware that they should accept them, which causes the books get returned to the printer.

SHARP Restructure Fact Sheet may be found here.

On Oct. 20, 2022, M&RA released the Clarification of Convalescent Leave Policy for Service Members Recovering from Sexual Assault memorandum. This document clarifies existing policy for convalescent leave and encourages commanders and directors of military treatment facilities to use the authority outlined in DODI 1327.06, “Leave and Liberty Policy and Procedures,” to support service members in their recovery from sexual assault.

2021 SHARP Policy Updates Fact Sheet may be found here.

The new AR 600-20 will clarify that SHARP and EO positions are separate. Chapter 6 specifically states that Commanders are not to appoint SARCs and VAs to EO positions. Congress designated funding for SHARP positions only.

The decision on what to purchase is a Command decision. ALWAYS check with your legal office to see what you can and cannot purchase with SHARP funds.

The host/tenant relationship generally occurs on a Joint Installation. Researching the Department of Defense policies such as DODI 1015.9 or DODI 1344.7 regarding protocol in a joint environment is advised. Often a memorandum of agreement between the host command and the tenant command outlining agreed responsibilities may be a way to build a stronger team.

Yes, the new AR 600-20 will specifically clarify that SHARP and EOA positions are separate. The SHARP D-SAACP, Background Screening, SHARP Training and Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) 1B and 1H Procedures Memorandum dated January 19, 2017, states in policy that EOAs are no longer the POC for Soldiers reporting sexual harassment; that role is now held by a full-time, Brigade level or above SARC.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA FY12), mandates full time SARC and VA in brigades or equivalent units. The G-37 FM General Officer Steering Committee (GOSC) identified selected brigades to receive TDA/MTOE authorizations for full time SARC and VA positions at brigade level. The original requirement for battalion collateral duty VA’s was in AR 600-20 Mar 2008, mandating battalion level collateral duty Victim Advocates. AR 600-20, dtd Nov 2014, continues to reflect 2 collateral duty VAs at the battalion level. HQDA EXORD 193-14, para 3.C.5.D changed the battalion requirement from 2 collateral duty VAs to a collateral duty SARC and VA. The requirement was implemented by a former the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1. After a series of discussions with 2/3 star commanders, all collectively agreed battalions required a collateral duty SARC and VA rather than 2 collateral duty VAs; (the structure of battalion level SHARP positions has evolved over the last several years). However, the new revision of AR 600-20 will reflect HQDA EXORD 193-14 latest guidance of one collateral duty SARC and VA at battalion level. The Army SHARP Program Office will conduct studies in the near future to further evaluate SHARP program structure and geographic position of SHARP personnel.

HQDA, G-1, ARD, SHARP Division is analyzing civilian manning in TASKER 125 to ensure structure and geographic location of SHARP personnel across the SHARP Program.

Title 5, United States Code, governs the classification of positions in the Federal service. This law states that positions shall be classified based on the duties and responsibilities assigned and the qualifications required to do the work. Section 5104 of Title 5 provides definitions for the grade levels of the General Schedule. These grade level definitions are the foundation upon which the position classification standards are built. The grades of federal positions (which drive the pay) must be assigned using these published position classification standards. The duties of each position are compared to the classification standards’ grade level criteria. The existing standard position descriptions for SHARP positions were developed by the SHARP Program Office, and are now under review to ensure that the requirements for SARCs and VAs are consistent, and that the duties are properly described and classified.

This is the response from AG1-CP. It seems all agree the right status for time spent making the report is excused absence. That is Technically Administrative Leave. The right status for medical care and counseling is sick leave. It seems the employee would tell the supervisors/he needs to go to the SHARP office (or, they could generally say EAP) and the supervisor should allow a reasonable amount of excused absence. That would cover the reporting. In practice, the supervisor would not necessarily need to code the ATAAPS as anything other than "regular" as long as the employee Is not gone from his/her work station more than an hour or so. If it takes longer than that - say, up to 4 hours - it can be coded as Admin. Leave in ATAAPS. More than 4 hours in a single day would probably have to be accounted for by sick or annual leave, as applicable.

No, however, a SHARP personnel needs to be in attendance.

The information is included in the G-1 memo as well as AD 2018-16. The second page, 4th paragraph reads as follows: Equal opportunity advisors will refer sexual harassment complaints to unit SHARP representatives. The advisors will continue to assist commanders in other activities prescribed by Army-wide and command policy that prevent sexual harassment.

Please note, the actual protocol is for SARCs at the BDE level (those who have access to ICRS) to receive sexual harassment complaints but this statement makes it clear that the SHARP program is responsible for the response to sexual harassment complaints, not EO.

The Academy would not make exceptions to Policy for the NG training. The policy in use today for the NG was determined by the NGB (when on Title 32) - which is currently that they must attend the Foundation Course (80hr). The NG must still meet the AC requirements when under Title 10 (which is the Career Course requirement). That is why they send students to the Academy prior to deployment.

No
