about sapr:
III MEF Sexual Assault Response Workforce (SARW) is a team of dedicated civilian SAPR professionals serving expeditionary units across Okinawa, Hawaii, and Iwakuni. We provide 24/7 sexual assault advocacy, prevention, and program support for eligible service members, adult dependents, and DoD civilian employees.
In forward-deployed locations, our mission is critical. Operating in environments with limited resources, high operational tempo, and frequent rotations makes rapid, skilled response essential to preserving morale and readiness. We deliver confidential, trauma-informed care that meets victim needs while sustaining mission effectiveness.
Our continuity strengthens support capacity, preserves expertise, and ensures consistent services across garrison and expeditionary locations. We are committed to delivering immediate, expert victim care, building resilience across III MEF, and sustaining readiness through prevention, advocacy, and continuous support.
