handling of victims of sexual assault; to offer victim assistance and counseling; to hold those who commit sexual
assault offenses accountable; to provide confidential avenues for reporting, and to reinforce a commitment to
Army values.
The Army will treat all victims of sexual assault with dignity, fairness, and respect.The Army will treat every

the allegations will be disclosed on a need-to-know basis only.
