The Sexual Assault Prevention And Response (sapr) Program-in Need Of More Prevention

摘要

"Military's response to rapes, domestic abuse falls short. Reforms lag despite numerous scandals, recommended solutions." As a deployed Brigade Judge Advocate (BJA) whose higher headquarters is hours away, you serve on the brigade's Sexual Assault Review Board (SARB). During one of your monthly meetings, the Deployable Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (DSARC), a Sergeant First Class (SFC) who volunteered for the position, briefs the commanders in attendance that a female Private First Class (PFC) was sexually assaulted after a night of drinking. Although the PFC wants to restrict the report, the Unit Victim Advocate (UVA), who is also her company commander, explained she did not have this option because she confided in a chaplain's assistant when seeking counseling and a medic when she sought testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Instead, the company commander took her to Criminal Investigation Division (CID) and told her to make a statement because he intends to court-martial the offender, who is also in his unit. She reminds him that she does not want anyone else to find out; she just wants help dealing with the situation. The brigade commander, like the company commander, is furious about the incident. During the SARB he announces he will "castrate the next Soldier he finds messing with his females." For their own safety, he orders all female Soldiers to always travel in buddy teams, especially at night. Your paralegal has already drafted the victim's Article 15 for drinking in violation of General Order Number 1.
