7. What is consent?

8. Consent Defined
Consent is words or overt acts indicating a freely given agreement to the sexual conduct at issue by a competent person.
“Lack of verbal or physical resistance or submission resulting from the accused's use of force, threat of force, or placing another person in fear does not constitute consent.”
DoDD

9. Consent Defined (continued)
There is no consent when the person is sleeping, incapacitated, underage or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
A current or previous dating relationship by itself or the manner of dress of the person involved with the accused in the sexual contact at issue shall not constitute consent.

10. Helpful Tips About Consent
Consent must be given by both parties before any sexual contact
At any point during the sexual contact, either person can withdraw their consent for any reason
If there is any doubt about someone’s ability to consent to sexual contact- think smart and back off
Training Script
Consent must be given by both parties before any sexual contact can take place.
At any point either person can withdraw their consent for any reason.
If there is ever any doubt about someone’s ability to consent to sexual contact- be smart and back off- especially when there’s alcohol involved.
Trainer’s Note: A lot of people might want to know “how many is too many?” when it comes to drinking. There is no black and white answer to this question. Only “substantial incapacitation” will negate consent. What constitutes “substantial incapacitation” depends on many factors, such as a person’s weight, health, tolerance for alcohol and so on. In order to ensure consent exists, remind participants that it is advisable to wait to engage in sexual relations until both individuals are sober.
Remember: without a yes or that positive physical indication, consider it a NO. Both parties must agree to the sexual contact. If necessary, take a moment to check in with your partner, to ensure that you are both on the same page concerning sexual contact. Ultimately it’s about having respect for your partner.
Now that we have an understanding of sexual assault and consent, let’s discuss the impact sexual assault can have on a person.

Bridge sentence (example): But what are the impacts of sexual harassment and assault on the individuals, units and the community at large?
TALK POINTS:
Highlight that the sexual harassment and assault is not “next door business” but has the impacts on the victim, the unit, the installation and the Army.
Bringing in another real-life example to demonstrate the point that one event may have the impacts to all which results in cultural change. For example: Over 30 years ago, people drove after drinking, and many deadly accidents happened as a result. A group of grieved mother gather together and started a mission to stop drunk driving. Now, many of us not only know Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) but also practice “not to drive when under the influence.” This is a cultural change based on the impacts on the fatality of traffic accident caused by drunk drivers. It was impacted on the victims and their families, but now, the positive change is impacting on the whole society.
