The sexual assault response coordinator with the 405th Army Field Support Brigade is excited about the new year for two reasons \u2013 the Army\u2019s first standalone regulation for sexual harassment and assault response and prevention comes out Feb. 10, and the Army is celebrating its 250th birthday this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love my job, and I love the Army. I was once in uniform, and I always say I left the Army, but the Army never left me,\u201d said Sboron who served nine years active duty, completing her service as a captain and an operations officer in 2012 at the 2nd Signal Brigade in Germany. \u201cI would encourage anyone to allow themselves the gift of serving in the Army. It changed my life forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sboron, who is assigned to 21st Theater Sustainment Command as an Army civilian and embedded with the 405th AFSB since last April as the brigade SARC, said one of the things she loves about the Army is the strong emphasis it places on taking care of its people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking care of people has had a whole new meaning for me since I was exposed to the SHARP program in 2006,\u201d said the 43-year-old mother of an 8-year-old daughter and loving spouse who grew up in Caguas, Puerto Rico, before joining the Army.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job as a SARC is to take care of the victims, to take care of people. On the prevention side of SHARP, SARCs also work hard on that P part of the program, which is prevention, and we strive to eradicate sexual harassment and assault in the Army,\u201d said Sboron who previously served as a victim advocate with the 405th AFSB in 2020-21 and also a victim advocate in uniform at Fort Bliss, Texas, in the early stages of the program in 2006.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe new regulation is a big deal. The SHARP program now has its own standalone regulation, AR 600-52, and it\u2019s bringing significant changes,\u201d said Sboron, adding that this includes things like the expansion of a full-time SHARP staff, optimal victim assistance and reporting opportunities, and expert support to the commanders with the oversight needed to execute the program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI love my job. It\u2019s all about the people who I serve. Taking care of people is my passion,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sboron, who holds a master\u2019s degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix, is currently enrolled in a doctorate program in industrial and organizational psychology with Grand Canyon University. Her dissertation is set to focus on the experiences of victim advocates in the Army, she said, and she expects to complete her degree and graduate with a PhD in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Sboron is set to attend the Army\u2019s SHARP Academy at the end of this month at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. She said the intermediate course she\u2019ll take will not only give her the tools needed to further assist her with her responsibilities as the 405th AFSB embedded SARC, but it will also provide her with timely guidance on the new SHARP regulation that takes effect while she\u2019s in the course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be able to discuss the new regulation with other SHARP professionals at the course,\u201d Sboron said. \u201cIt should be great. I can already tell 2025 is going to be a great year. Happy 250th Birthday, U.S. Army.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One year older than the nation it defends, the Army has dedicated itself to fighting and winning the nation\u2019s wars for 250 years.
