Advocacy Program. The information collected for the form in 
unrestricted report cases may be used to initiate an investigation, and 
subsequently make an incident status determination following the 
Incident Determination Committee procedures and processes outlined in 
DoD Manual 6400.01, Volume 3. If an incident meets the definitions 
outlined in DoDM 6400.01, Volume 3, the incident is subject to entry
