When does the Army's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response policy apply?

The Army's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) policy applies at all times, regardless of location or the status of the service member. This comprehensive approach encompasses both on-post and off-post situations, as well as during formal duties and personal time. The aim is to foster an environment where all individuals feel safe and respected, and to ensure that everyone is aware of the resources and support available to them. By applying the policy at all times, the Army reinforces its commitment to preventing sexual assault and creating a culture of dignity and respect for all. This continual application helps in addressing incidents proactively, fostering accountability, and maintaining the overall readiness and welfare of the military community.
