ACTIVATION/DEPLOYMENT STATUS

In this survey, the term “activation” refers to the involuntary or voluntary call to active duty in support of a contingency of a National Guard/Reserve component member under Title 10 for Full Mobilization, Voluntary Active Duty, Partial Mobilization, Presidential Callup, or National Guard members under Title 32. It does NOT apply to members on full-time active duty (Active Guard Reserve [AGR], Full-Time Support [FTS], or Active Reserve [AR]), members serving on full-time National Guard Duty, members performing inactive duty for training (IDT), members performing annual training, or members serving on State Active Duty.

In this survey, the term “deployment” refers to the movement of a member (or unit), for duty purposes, to a location that would be considered outside normal commuting distance or time from the member's permanent duty station (for example, the location where the member normally performs Inactive Duty Training [IDT] drills). Deployments can be to a location within the contiguous 48 states (CONUS) or to a location outside the contiguous 48 states (OCONUS).

GENDER-RELATED EXPERIENCES

Please read the following special instructions before continuing the survey.

Questions in this next section ask about unwanted experiences of an abusive, humiliating, or sexual nature. These types of unwanted experiences vary in severity. Some of them could be viewed as an assault. Others could be viewed as hazing or some other type of unwanted experience.

They can happen to both women and men.

The next questions include some graphic words. They describe events that DoD regulations define with precise anatomical language. It is important to use the same names of the specific body parts the DoD uses. This is the best way to determine whether or not people have had these types of experiences.

When answering these questions, please include experiences no matter who did it to you or where it happened. It could be done to you by a male or female, Service member or civilian, someone you knew or a stranger.
