If a state is not in compliance with SAPR requirements or, even if technically in compliance, is not effectively preventing and responding to sexual harassment and sexual assault and is not making sufficient effort to address this problem…

Do you track compliance with SAPR training requirements, and how? If so, which states are in compliance, and which are not?

We have no control, no authority to protect those National Guard servicemembers if the State chooses not too.

There is a huge problem here.
