Maltreatment Response Coordinators

In brief

MALTREATMENT RESPONSE COORDINATOR; ESTABLISHMENT AND INDEPENDENCE.

Establishes trained Maltreatment Response Coordinators at installation, regional, and deployable levels. The function aligns administratively with MEO but uses an independent reporting and oversight chain outside an implicated unit command. MRCs coordinate reporting, safety screening, services, referrals, and follow-up; they are not investigators, prosecutors, or counsel.
