Sexual Assault Prvntion Study

This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2024 $0 was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2025 $0 is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. ORION funds moved from this PE (808737F) to PE 808736F beginning in FY25. Following completion of a Presidentially-directed Independent Review Committee (IRC) on Sexual Assaults for the Department of Defense, the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) directed the implementation of multiple IRC recommendations. The Integrated Prevention PE contains two programs in support of those recommendations: The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), Records, Investigations and Operations Network (ORION) program and the Interpersonal Self-Directed Violence (ISDV) Prevention program. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), Records, Investigations and Operations Network (ORION): The Department of the Air Force (DAF) Office of Special Investigations (OSI) is DAF's sole felony-level criminal investigative agency mandated to investigate criminal offenses, to include sexual offenses and interpersonal violence. IRC recommendations C2, C3, C4, 1.8, 2.6a, 3.1, and 3.3a, directed the DAF to increase its ability to collect, analyze, and integrate data related to sexual offenses and interpersonal violence to inform and guide prevention and response. The DAF will develop and deploy the OSI Investigations, Operations, and Records Network (ORION) information system as to satisfy SECDEF requirements. In tandem with the context above, another key driver for development of ORION is the DAF's requirement to identify a central case management system solution to allow for more effective oversight of and more efficient execution of the DAF's criminal indexing process. ORION will be a cloud-based, next-generation case management system used to document, manage, store, and report criminal investigative and counterintelligence information involving violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the United States Code.
