Which of the following is NOT a reporting option for a sexual assault?

• A. Their chain of command
• B. Public Affairs Office
• C. Chaplains
• D. Medical Treatment Facility

Answer: (B)

The important idea is understanding where a sexual assault report can be made in military policy. There are two main reporting paths: unrestricted reporting, which goes through the chain of command or law enforcement, and restricted reporting, which allows confidential reporting through certain trusted options (like a chaplain or a medical provider). The Public Affairs Office, however, does not serve as a reporting avenue—it handles public communications and media relations, not incident reporting or safeguarding personal information. The other options fit reporting or connecting the survivor to care and potential investigations: the chain of command can initiate an official report, a chaplain can provide confidential support and help route a report, and a Medical Treatment Facility can provide medical care and connect the survivor with reporting options. So, Public Affairs Office is not a reporting option.
