The Defense Department is committed to the safety and well-being of military families. Living a life that is safe, secure and free from abuse is a basic human need. All reports of domestic abuse are taken seriously, and resources are available to help victims.

They work with victims to develop a safety plan, and can connect them to emergency services, counseling and emotional support, housing and shelter, and financial and legal services. If needed, they can help victims get a military or civilian protection order.
