How often are sexual assault Case Management Group (CMG) meetings required to be held?

The requirement for sexual assault Case Management Group (CMG) meetings to be held monthly is rooted in the need for ongoing support and coordination for victims of sexual assault within the Navy. These regular meetings facilitate timely updates on cases, allowing for a comprehensive approach to ensure that victims receive consistent care and resources. Monthly meetings also promote effective communication among the various stakeholders involved, including victim advocates, legal representatives, and command personnel, to address any challenges and ensure that the case is being handled appropriately.

Holding these meetings monthly allows the CMG to respond to the evolving needs of the victim and make necessary adjustments to their support services or actions being taken in the case. This level of frequency emphasizes the Navy’s commitment to addressing sexual assault cases seriously and ensures that victims are not left without the necessary support and advocacy during critical times.
