USAREC FAMILY ADVOCACY PROGRAM

   The USAREC Family Advocacy Program (FAP) is established to prevent spouse and child abuse and to ensure that personnel are trained to properly intervene in abuse.  The USAREC FAP:

a. Promotes awareness of domestic violence within the recruiting community and coordinates professional intervention at all levels within military and civilian communities.

b. Strives to break the cycle of abuse by identifying abuse as early as possible, providing intervention, and coordinating treatment for the offender and affected Family members.

c. Recognizes that many incidents of domestic violence constitute violations of the law and that a commander has authority to take disciplinary or administrative action in such cases.

   The goal is to prevent spouse and child abuse, to encourage the reporting of all suspected or known instances of such abuse, to ensure the prompt assessment and investigation of all abuse cases, to protect victims of abuse, and to treat all Family members (victims and offenders) affected by or involved in abuse.

Intimate Partners and Domestic Violence

  Domestic violence incidents involving intimate partners will be reported through the Family Advocacy Program (FAP).  An intimate partner is defined as someone who shares a child in common or shares (or has shared) a common domicile with the victim/abuser.  These incidents will be processed by the servicing military installation for assessment, intervention, and treatment as FAP cases.

USAREC SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION
AND RESPONSE PROGRAM (SAPR)

(NOTE: The Department of Army is changing the SAPR program and

approved, it will be called SHARP - Sexual Harassment & Assault
Response & Prevention Program.)  

  The Department of Army, in accordance with the Department of Defense Directive, established a Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program to prevent sexual assaults and to ensure that personnel are trained to properly response to victims of sexual assault.  The USAREC SAPR:

a. Promotes awareness of sexual assault within the recruiting community and coordinates professional intervention at all levels within military and civilian communities.

b. Strives to ensure protection of the privacy of victims of sexual assault through restricted and unrestricted reporting options.

c. Recognizes that incidents of sexual assault constitute violations of the law and that a commander has authority to take disciplinary or administrative action in such cases.

  The goal is to prevent sexual assault, to encourage the reporting of all instances of sexual assault, to protect victims of sexual assault, and to treat victim of sexual assault appropriately.
