In VWAP, who handles expedited transfers if SAPR and FAP do not cover them?

• A. VWAP liaison
• B. The Local Responsible Official
• C. The SJA
• D. The Commanding Officer

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is who coordinates urgent relocation actions for victims and witnesses under VWAP when standard programs don’t cover the need. The VWAP liaison is the designated point of contact who handles these expedited transfers, pulling together resources and approvals across installation offices to move someone quickly to a safer location or arrangement. This role is specifically built to bridge gaps between programs like SAPR and FAP and the practical, time-sensitive steps needed to ensure safety and continued support.

Other roles have important functions, but not the same operational authority over rapid transfers. The Local Responsible Official oversees VWAP policy compliance and the local program’s integrity, rather than directing the expedited transfer itself. The SJA provides legal advice and supports protective measures from a legal standpoint, but doesn’t coordinate the logistics of a transfer. The Commanding Officer has overall command authority, but the VWAP liaison is the designated agent who executes the rapid coordination for transfers when SAPR and FAP don’t cover them.
