Which document establishes the Department of Navy's (DON) policy on sexual harassment?

The document that establishes the Department of Navy's (DON) policy on sexual harassment is SECNAVINST 5300.26. This instruction outlines the responsibilities of Navy personnel in preventing and addressing sexual harassment within the service. It provides definitions, reporting procedures, and guidelines that create a workplace environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. By setting these standards, SECNAVINST 5300.26 plays a critical role in fostering an inclusive and respectful culture across the Navy.

Other documents may cover different aspects of personnel policies or administrative procedures but do not specifically address the issue of sexual harassment. For instance, SECNAVINST 1000.10 pertains to personnel management and administrative policies, NAVPERS 15620 focuses on Navy personnel measures, and NAVADMIN 123/22 typically refers to announcements related to personnel lists or readiness but does not detail the overarching policy on sexual harassment as established in SECNAVINST 5300.26.
