2. Bystander Intervention to the Fleet
Bystander Intervention to the Fleet (BI2F) [Nov 2014– Sep 2015]
Implement beginning November 2014; 85% complete NLT 30 Sep 2015
Comprehensive BI skills-based training
Task Force modeled after SAPR-L/F initiative “Train the Trainers”
Master Mobile Training Teams (MMTTs) deploy to 7 CONUS and 4 OCONUS Regions to certify personnel from each unit within AOR:
21 MMTTs (3 members per team E5-03)
CPPD MMTTs Command “peer facilitators” Fleet Units
Goal is to teach Sailors to recognize situations and safely intervene
Training would reach beyond the SAPR realm to recognize and address other destructive behaviors on the Continuum of Harm
BI completion should be documented locally; will count for Hazing and Fraternization GMT in FY15
As part of the Navy’s continuing efforts to promote positive command climates and further address destructive behaviors, BI2F is being delivered in FY15 to every active and reserve Navy uniformed member. BI is build on direct Sailor and senior leader feedback received from the fleet for this type of training.
The “How” of BI2F will be implemented:
MMTTs will utilize a “Hub and Spoke” approach to travel to active and reserve commands to “train the trainers.” (FCAs/NOSC/OCONUS commands)
Bystander Intervention to the Fleet (BI2F)
Beginning Q1 of FY-15, comprehensive BI skills based training will be delivered in every command, with the expectation of a minimum of 85% of the Fleet trained NLT SEP15.
BI2F Task Force will be stood up, modeled after SAPR-L/F initiative; NETC will be responsible for planning and logistics.
TF will use BI2F MMTTs for execution:
Train at CPPD, then deliver training directly to hand-picked, “peer facilitators” from every unit for Fleet delivery
Developed training would reach beyond the SAPR realm and address other destructive behaviors on the Continuum of Harm.
Training will be 2 hour “peer-to-peer” session

3. BI2F Overview GOALS OF BI2F TRAINING
Empower Sailors to intervene to stop behaviors not aligned with the Core Values and Navy Ethos.
Provide Sailors with techniques to safely and effectively “step up and step in”.
Promote a positive culture in which bystander intervention is widely accepted, implemented, and supported by all Sailors from E1 to O10.
Motivate Sailors to prevent all destructive decisions, including situations involving alcohol, drugs, harassment, hazing, sexual assault and suicide.

4. BI2F Overview (cont’d) BI2F Training Outline
Two hours in length; it includes 30 minutes of videos (five vignettes each four to seven mins) followed by peer-led discussions.
Built upon, and advances, the concepts taught in A-school to further instill the need for prevention of destructive behaviors.
Tailored to three specific audiences (Junior-level, Mid-Level, and Senior-level) to capitalize on unique knowledge, experiences, and bystander intervention responsibilities by rank.
Peer-facilitated in recommended small groups of no more than 30 Sailors to encourage productive discussion and organically foster peer group buy-in and support.
Based on feedback from the Fleet, the BI2F course is highly interactive, peer-led, video-driven, discussion-based, and audience-specific. There are no lectures and no PowerPoint slides. Instead, the course is comprised of dramatic video vignettes, documentary video sequences, activities such as role plays and debates, and structured discussions. The role of the training facilitators is to guide training participants as they explore and learn through discussion, collaboration, and skills practice specifically targeted to their level of responsibility.
Bystander intervention is an expectation of all Sailors in the Navy, from E1 to O10. The BI2F course encourages all Sailors to think about the role that they play in encouraging intervention, holding others accountable for their behavior, and setting and modeling standards of excellence. Therefore, the BI2F Training Facilitation Guide is tabbed for three audiences: Junior-, Mid-, and Senior-level Sailors. Each tab includes discussion questions and activities that complement the skill, knowledge, and experiences of the audience.
BI2F is built around a “who, what, when, where, why, and how” model to give participants a comprehensive yet manageable way to understand bystander intervention. Facilitators use course videos, discussion questions, and activities to help Sailors:
-understand the concept of bystander intervention, including common personal and social barriers and fears;
-identify situations in which intervention is necessary by using the Navy Ethos, the Core Values, and intuition;
-develop and practice skills to safely and effectively intervene; and,
-identify themselves as morally responsible for, and capable of, stepping up and stepping in.

5. BI2F Peer Group Recommendations
What constitutes a peer group?
Commanding officers should define the peer groupings in their command in such a way as to maximize the consistency of age, experience and background among group members. Recommended peer groupings are: Junior Level: E5 and below; Mid-Level: E6-E8 and O1-O3; Senior Level: E9 and O4 and above.
Senior-level
E-9
O-4 thru 0-10
Mid-level
E-6 thru E-8
O-1 thru O-3
Junior-level
E-1 thru E-5
