Sexual Assault Prevention and Response
Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Training
As part of the Navy’s continuing effort to prevent sexual assaults and promote essential culture changes within the force, a SAPR Task Force (SAPR TF) was established under the command of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education (N1) to facilitate delivery of targeted sexual assault prevention training to all active and reserve personnel.
This training aligns with the “Strategic Direction to the Joint Force on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response” from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, supports the Secretary of Defense’s Initiatives to Combat Sexual Assault in the Military and is part of the Secretary of the Navy’s 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative.
SAPR Leadership (SAPR-L) (E7 and above) and SAPR Fleet (SAPR-F) (E6 and below) training will provide some of the critical tools to reduce sexual assault and promote a culture of respect and professionalism in our force, where each sailor is motivated to intervene and stop this crime.
Specific information and resources on SAPR-L and SAPR-F training are available on the SAPR L/F Training website.
Additional resources are available from the April 2012 Navy Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
