JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas (April 13, 2022) -- Leaders from the Mission and Installation Contracting Command reinforce the role and responsibility of workforce members to prevent sexual assault, sexual harassment and associated retaliation in observance of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
In a video message released April 13, Brig. Gen. Doug Lowrey, commanding general, and Command Sgt. Maj. Chantel Sena-Diaz echo leaders from across the Army leaders committed to building comradery and trust amongst MICC civilian and uniformed members by taking action.
“When it comes to harmful behaviors such as sexual harassment, sexual assault and associated retaliation, the only person responsible for committing the act is the perpetrator, but all members of the team are responsible for each other’s safety and wellbeing,” Sena-Diaz said.
The Army joins the nation in recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. This year’s Army theme is "Prevention Starts With You," which builds on the concept of upholding what it means to be a member of an Army team.
