Brig. Gen. Jeffrey C. Horne (I), Director, Army Human Resources Policy Directorate, introduces Robert Coombs who was a subject-matter expert at the third annual Army SHARP Summit.

Robert Coombs, CALCASA’s director of public affairs, attended the U.S. Army’s 2010 Sexual Harassment /Assault Prevention (SHARP) Summit in Arlington, Va. This is part of the Army’s I.AM.STRONG campaign, which is spreading the message to combat sexual assaults by engaging all soldiers in preventing sexual assaults before they occur.

“Every leader needs to see sexual assault as fundamentally counter to the warrior ethos,” said Gen. George W. Casey, Jr., chief of staff of the Army. “It’s all about leadership and leaders setting the right examples.”
