Which of the following can a Soldier contact to report a sexual assault as unrestricted?

A Soldier can report a sexual assault as unrestricted to their chain of command or law enforcement because these avenues are specifically designated to handle such serious incidents in a manner that allows for investigation and accountability. Unrestricted reporting involves informing authorities who can take action, unlike restricted reporting, which limits the information to specific support services without initiating an investigation.

Using the chain of command or law enforcement not only provides the Soldier with immediate support and options for safety, but it also ensures that the incident is officially documented and investigated. This pathway creates a more structured response to the assault and access to appropriate resources, including medical treatment and legal protections.

While fellow Soldiers, civilian organizations, or family members can provide emotional support or guidance, they do not have the formal authority or capability to initiate an investigation or follow the correct protocols for addressing a sexual assault case within the military context. Thus, these options do not serve the purpose of ensuring that the assault is reported appropriately and handled in a manner that aligns with military regulations and laws.
