Program Overview
Fort Campbell is fully committed to implementing
the Army policy on Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is a criminal
offense that has no place in the Army. It degrades mission
readiness by devastating the
Army's ability to work effectively as a team

Sexual assault
is incompatible with Army Values and the Warrior Ethos
and is punishable under the Uniform Codes of Military
Justice (UCMJ) and other federal and local civilian laws
-
The Army will use training, education, and awareness to
-
* Prevent sexual assault
* Promote the sensitive handling of victims of sexual assault
* Offer confidential counseling
* Hold those who commit sexual assault offenses accountable
Reinforce a commitment to Army Values
-
The Army will
treat all victims of sexual assault with dignity, fairness,
and respect

The Army will treat every sexual assault
incident seriously, thoroughly investigate the incident,
and hold those
who commit offenses accountable.

Reporting Options
Restricted Reporting
Restricted Reporting allows a Soldier who is a sexual assault
victim, on a confidential basis, to disclose the details of
his/her assault to specifically identified individuals and
receive medical treatment and
counseling, without triggering the official investigative process. Soldiers
who are sexually assaulted and desire restricted reporting under this policy
must report the assault to the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC),
Victim Advocate, Chaplain or a Healthcare Provider.
Unrestricted Reporting
Unrestricted Reporting allows a Soldier who is sexually assaulted
and desires medical treatment, counseling, and an official
investigation of his/her allegation to use current reporting
channels (e.g., chain of command, law enforcement, or he/she
may report the incident to the SARC or the Victim Advocate).
Upon notification of a reported sexual assault, the SARC will
immediately notify a Victim Advocate. Additionally, with the
victim's consent, the healthcare provider shall conduct a forensic
examination, which may include the collection of evidence.
Details regarding the incident will be limited to only those
personnel who have a legitimate need to know.
Reduce Your Risk
Be especially prepared and alert in deployed environments.
Travel with a buddy. Report any unauthorized males or females
in
sleeping areas. Know that some cultures may treat females differently than
in the U.S. Be assertive and clearly state if you feel
uncomfortable.
The safety of your fellow Soldier and your unit may depend
on you. If you hear any conversation about forcing another
person into sexual relations, report it immediately to the
Commander or the SARC.
