Your Kadena SAPR Team

If You Have Been Assaulted

1. Call the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) at 634-7272/SARC or 098-961-7272 from a cell phone. This hotline is answered 24/7 and is confidential. You can also call the Kadena Base Operator or Command Post and ask to be connected to the SARC. 

2. It is recommended that you follow these guidelines: 
- Go to a safe location away from the attacker. 
- Call 911 if you are in an emergency situation or need immediate medical attention.
- Do not change clothes, but if you feel you must, bring soiled clothing in a paper bag--not plastic 
- Do not eat or drink anything 
- Do not shower, brush your teeth or use mouthwash 
- Do not take or apply any type of medication to any injuries 
- Do not use the bathroom, but if you must, bring urine in for testing in a plastic or glass container 
- Do not disturb or clean up the crime scene 

3. Go to the Foster Naval Hospital Emergency Room for medical care and a Sexual Assault Forensic Exam, if you choose. The ER Staff will notify the SARC if you haven't already.

Special Victim's Counsel

The Special Victim's Counsel program began in January 2013 to give victims of sexual assault a voice.

The purpose of the SVC is to provide legal advice, protect the rights and privacy of victims, and empower victims as they engage with the military justice process. Any information given to the SVC attorney or paralegal is CONFIDENTIAL. Your attorney can represent you during interviews, Article 32 hearings, and court martial proceedings.

Who can be represented?
- All active duty Air Force members regardless of a perpetrator's status
- Active duty Air Force adult and minor dependents if the perpetrator is Air Force
- Civilians (only if eligible for legal assistance) if the perpetrator is Air Force All active duty members from another service will be forwarded to the respective branches SVCs.



The SVC and Paralegal representatives for Kadena Air Base are:

Reporting Options

Restricted Reporting allows a victim to report a Sexual Assault without triggering a law enforcement investigation. It is intended to give the victim (survivor) time and control over the release of their information. A Restricted Report also empowers the survivor to make an informed decision about participating in the criminal process and later decide to UR if they choose to.

Unrestricted Reporting will initiate a law enforcement investigation for the sexual assault incident and will allow for the broadest range of services. Once an Unrestricted report has been filed it cannot be converted to a restricted report.

Mandatory Reporter- If a report of SA is made to Commander, First Sergeant, a member of your chain of CC, or Instructors (except for USAFA) then they are obligated to report to the appropriate Military Criminal Investigative Office. The member should be referred to SAPR to discuss their rights and eligibilities.

Who is eligible?
All Active Duty Military
DoD Civilians
Dependents over the age of 18
Contractors (Unrestricted Reports Only)
Reserve & Guard on orders 


Any SARC, SAPR Victim Advocate, Medical or Mental Health Provider can take a Restricted or Unrestricted Report of Sexual Assault.
