Marines are known to carry the load of physical and mental hardships of service with the help of their brothers and sisters around them. Unfortunately, Marines may have to look for a higher form of support if they have become a victim of sexual assault. To fight back and support the warfighter, the Marine Corps provides services with the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program.
