Question

Flag officer and senior executive service personnel Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) training must occur at the initial executive level program training and how often thereafter? (Page 10-4)

a) Annually
b) Biennially
c) Every 3 years
d) Every 5 years

Answer 1

Flag officer and senior executive service personnel are required to receive Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training annually after their initial training during the executive-level program.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flag officer and senior executive service personnel must undergo Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) training initially during their executive-level program training and annually thereafter. The requirement for this training is analogous to military police and security personnel being mandated to experience pepper spray during their training. The experience of pepper spray is believed to foster empathy and restraint when those personnel might need to use it in the line of duty. Similarly, consistent SAPR training is aimed at ensuring that leaders are continuously aware and adhere to the best practices for preventing and responding to sexual assaults within the services.
