Company/Squadron Commanders Survey Leadership Letter

To: <Company/Squadron> Commanders

From: MSA Staff

Subject: Please Complete the CTTF <Company/Squadron> Commander Survey

Dear <Company/Squadron> Commander,

BLUF: DoD has contracted NORC at the University of Chicago to help carry out an evaluation of the MSAs’ Command Climate Transformation Task Force (CTTF) efforts. The Department of Defense Office of Force Resiliency has approved the survey. Thank you for participating in the <Company/Squadron Commander> Survey.

Access the survey through this link: [INSERT SURVEY LINK]

The link will direct you to norc.org, a non-government website, to complete the survey.

BACKGROUND: In 2023, USMA, USNA, and USAFA were directed to develop Plans of Action and Milestones (POAMs) related to the prevention of sexual assault and other harmful behaviors. Each POAM outlines action steps to respond to the immediate, intermediate, and long-term recommendations identified in the 2023 MSA On-site Installation Evaluation (OSIE) report. As a result of the OSIE, a central MSA Command Climate Transformation Task Force (CTTF) was established, and each MSA established an MSA-specific CTTF. Now that actions have been carried out, DoD’s OFR OCCWI is evaluating the CTTF activities across the three MSAs. Part of those actions included standardizing learning objectives and outcomes for training provided to MSA <Company/Squadron> Commanders. This survey seeks to understand how <Company/Squadron> Commanders prevent and respond to harmful behaviors within their company/squadron.

If you have any questions about the survey or the evaluation, please contact CTTFeval@norc.org.

Sincerely,

[INSERT MSA STAFF SIGNATURE]
