PREVENTING SEXUAL ASSAULT IS OUR DUTY "Sexual assault is a crime that will not be tolerated in the Arkansas National Guard. Sexual assault has a devastating and often lasting impact on the victim, a fellow guardsman. Sexual assault degrades our readiness and tears at unit cohesion and every member of the unit is affected. Sexual assault has no place in the National Guard." OUR STRENGTH IS FOR DEFENDING
If you are a victim of sexual assault, there are many resources available to you during your time of need. Through the Arkansas National Guard Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, we may be able to assist you with related medical bills, help you find counseling, provide referral's to other agencies as needed and help you through our advocacy services. While we encourage you to report all crimes, we understand that you may wish to have your case remain confidential.
