Read full description

Ultima SHARP will allow Soldiers, DoD civilians, family members, and anyone that is in need of SHARP assistance to reach out for resources and immediate help. The U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy's (USASMA) Ultima SHARP app provides those seeking information and those affected by sexual violence the most relevant options available to them. This includes the SHARP program, law enforcement, and medical attention. It also supplies users with hotline numbers, links and manuals. It is an additional awareness tool that makes access to advocacy easier than before. In addition, it provides information on possible ways to respond to sexual harassment and sexual assault. You can access information within the app to learn more about sexual assault response, such as what to do if you or someone you know has been assaulted. This app was specifically designed to ensure that you, as the user, could have privacy while accessing empowering information without concern for involuntary disclosure.
