USARJ Kicks Off SAAPM U.S. Army Japan's Sexual Harassment/ Assault Response and Prevention Program held a proclamation signing March 27, 2018 at USARJ Headquarters.
This was for the annual Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month Campaign, which has officially kicked off for the month of April.
This year's theme is "Protecting Our People Protects Our Mission."
Maj. Gen. James Pasquarette and Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Clark, commanding general and command sergeant major for USARJ, respectively, signed the proclamation, which commemorates the U.S. Army in Japan's observance of SAAPM.
Camp Zama takes sexual assault very seriously and observes SAAPM by creating the appropriate culture to eliminate sexual assault, requiring a personal commitment from Soldiers and Civilians at every level. Everyone has a role in preventing sexual assualt. Localizing SAAPM activities is a great way to extend this message.
