 Sexual assault is a criminal act. It is incompatible with the core values of honor, courage, and commitment adhered to by the Marine Corps. Sexual assault impedes unit or members' morale, effectiveness, efficiency, and negatively impairs the ability of the Marine Corps to function smoothly. Victims can be male or female. Perpetrators can also be male or female. In recognition of the seriousness of sexual assault, the Marine Corps has initiated MCO
1752.5 establishing the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), which provides policy and guidance for commanders in handling these cases.
