Annually, Soldiers are required to participate in the Army’s Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program training to build trust, spread awareness, and create a support network for Soldiers to utilize to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and sexual assault incidents.
“The program is a safe place for us to talk about sexual harassment and assault and that there are ways that we can come together as a unit to prevent it,” said Sgt. Devorion Crawford, a multichannel transmission systems operator-maintainer assigned to 1-6 Air Cavalry Squadron, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. “If you or someone you know finds themselves in that situation, there are policies set in place for us to get the help we need. You can’t fight that battle alone, because it can take a toll on you mentally, physically, and emotionally. There are people around that can help us get through it.”
