Who handles expedited transfers if SAPR and FAP do apply?

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

Answer: (A)

When SAPR and FAP apply, the person coordinating an expedited transfer is the VWAP liaison. This role is the primary point of contact who ensures the transfer happens quickly while safeguarding the victim’s safety and access to support services. The VWAP liaison works with the SAPR and FAP programs, the victim advocate, and the command to arrange logistics, maintain confidentiality, and address the victim’s immediate needs (housing, travel, medical care, and counseling). While the SJA can provide legal guidance, and the Commanding Officer can authorize moves, the actual coordination and execution of the expedited transfer flow through the VWAP liaison, who specializes in victim/witness coordination and installation-specific processes. The Local Responsible Official supports policy compliance and reporting, but does not directly manage the transfer logistics.
