Which Army Regulation covers SHARP?

• A. AR 350-1
• B. AR 600-20
• C. AR 600-9
• D. AR 600-52

Answer: (C)

SHARP is addressed within Army Command Policy, which is Army Regulation 600-20. This regulation sets the Army-wide policy for sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention, response, reporting, and accountability. It outlines commanders’ and leaders’ responsibilities to foster a respectful climate, the procedures for reporting incidents (including protections against retaliation), and the roles of primary support elements like the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC) and Victim Advocates. It also covers training requirements and the options for confidential (restricted) versus formal (unrestricted) reporting, ensuring victims have appropriate support while incidents are investigated. The other regulations listed deal with unrelated areas—training and leader development, body composition, or other topics—so SHARP falls under AR 600-20.
