The MARC
The Marne Advocacy Resource Center (MARC) is a “one-stop” location for you, whether you are a Soldier, Family 
The MARC coordinates and supports all SHARP services with a focus on maximum co-location of advocacy, investigative and legal personnel. You can interact with the Army Response System in a protected environment to explore reporting options, meet response personnel and coordinate needed referrals and appointments. We want to send the message that Victims do not have to feel isolated—there is supported all along the way with the community network.
Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARC’s) and Victim Advocates (VA’s) are available to you at the MARC. SARC’s and VA’s are professionals trained to offer support, information, locating resources and filling out paperwork. Your SARC or VA will explain options for reporting a sexual assault or sexual harassment. The MARC has segregated restricted and unrestricted areas for designated report intake and ongoing case management functions. You can choose to meet with the Special Victim’s Counsel/Legal right there at the MARC. Additionally, when you choose the Unrestricted reporting option, your CoC and CID will also meet you at the MARC—no driving all over post for you to find the right agency to speak with. This is an intended benefit, as well: To reduce the "hassle factor," e.g. circumstances where the Victim must travel to various locations to receive or coordinate support.
Hopefully, you will be relieved to know that agencies in the FSGA/HAAF community want to ensure your safety and your rights. Services and support are available to lead to recovery from the impact of sexual harassment and/or sexual assault. To further ensure protection and safety, the MARC also serves as the installation resource center coordinating prevention, outreach and training activities. SARC’s and VA’s provide education and training, and there are also two qualified SHARP training instructors on staff.
For more information regarding the MARC, Sexual Harassment and/or Sexual Assault, and filing complaints or reports, please call us at 912-271-9958

Sexual Harassment is conduct that involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and deliberate or repeated offensive comments or gestures of a sexual nature. When submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of a person’s job, pay or career; submission to or rejection of such conduct by a person is used as a basis for career or employment decisions affecting that person; or such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
Sexual assault response coordinators (SARCs) serve as the single point of contact to coordinate sexual assault victim care. They track the services provided from the initial report of a sexual assault through disposition and resolution of the victim's health care and support service needs.
Restricted reporting allows a sexual assault victim to confidentially disclose the details of his or her assault to specified individuals and receive medical treatment and counseling, without triggering the official investigative process. Sexual assault victims who are sexually assaulted and desire restricted reporting under this policy may only report the assault to the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), Victim Advocate (VA), or a Healthcare Provider (HCP).
