United States Forces Japan (USFJ) and all of our components take prevention, investigation and prosecution of sexual assaults very seriously. Sexual assault is a crime and a contradiction to everything we stand for as service members and as members of the community. I expect our military personnel to behave appropriately, and if they don't, they are held accountable for their actions, in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice and service regulations.
USFJ held a Japan-wide sexual-assault stand down in the summer of 2013. All commands in Japan had frank discussions with every individual Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine about the crime of sexual assault and prevention measures. Each command also completes service directed annual and recurring training with their personnel focusing on core values, emphasizing everyone must do their part to prevent the crime of sexual assault. Every incoming service member to Japan also goes through in-processing training, including sexual assault prevention and response.
Leaders in USFJ and all military forces assigned to Japan are committed to the safety and welfare of our service members, families and being good partners in Japan. We encourage and expect an environment of respect, trust and confidence, and we take all allegations of inappropriate behavior seriously, protecting victims' privacy and holding offenders accountable in accordance with the law.

在日米軍司令官サルバトーレ A.(サム)アンジェレラ
米空軍中将による報道発表
性的暴行防止対応に関して(英文が正文で日本語は仮訳)
在日米軍司令部および全ての各軍組織は性的暴行防止、捜査と起訴に関して非常に深刻に受け止めています。性的暴行は犯罪であり、隊員として、そして地域の皆さんの一員として軍が取るべき姿勢に反するものです。私は隊員達が適切に行動することを期待し、もしそうでない場合、合衆国統一軍法典に則り彼らはその行動に対して責任を負うことになります。
在日米軍は日本全体の軍組織に適用する性犯罪防止の方針を昨年夏より実施しております。日本における全ての司令官達は性的暴行とその防止対策について陸、海、空、海兵隊員それぞれとの対話の機会を持っております。
各司令部はまた、各軍毎に隊員の倫理価値観に焦点をあて、全ての隊員が性的暴行防止の対策を取らなければならないことを強調し指示された年間および繰り返しの訓練を完了することが義務付けられています。日本に赴任する全ての軍人は任務に着く過程において性暴力防止と対応のための訓練を受けています。
在日米軍のリーダーと日本に駐留する全軍が隊員と家族の安全や福祉、そして日本において良き隣人になることを確約しています。米軍は環境に対する尊重の念、信頼と自信を奨励し期待しています。また我々は被害者のプライバシーを守り、法に基づいて犯罪者に責任を課しながら全ての不適切な行動に対する容疑を深刻に受け止めます。
