The DAC-PSM provides the Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary of

Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)), and, as applicable, the
Secretary of Homeland Security, with independent advice and
recommendations on the prevention of sexual assault (including rape,

involving members of the Armed Forces and the policies, programs, and
practices of each Military Department, each Armed Force, each Military
Service Academy (to include the United States Coast Guard Academy), at
all DoD educational institutions and training facilities for the
prevention of sexual assault, and other topics of special interest to
the Department in response to specific tasks from the DoD Appointing
Authority or the USD(P&R). The DAC-PSM is composed of no more than 20
members who are eminent authorities in the field and who have expertise
in the prevention of sexual assault and behaviors on the sexual assault
continuum of harm; adverse behaviors, including the prevention of
suicide and the prevention of substance abuse; the change of culture of
large organizations; implementation science; sexual assault prevention

and such other individuals as the DoD Appointing Authority considers

Individual members are appointed according to DoD policy and
procedures, and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with
annual renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the DAC-PSM.
No member, unless approved by the DoD Appointing Authority according to
DoD policy and procedures, may serve more than two consecutive terms of
service on the DAC-PSM, or serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory
committees at one time.
DAC-PSM members who are not full-time or permanent part-time
Federal civilian officers or employees are appointed as experts or
consultants, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government
employee members. DAC-PSM members who are full-time or permanent part-

In accordance with 550B(b)(3) of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense
Authorization Act, no active duty member of the Armed Forces shall be
appointed as a DAC-PSM member.
All DAC-PSM members are appointed to provide advice based on their
best judgment without representing any particular point of view and in
a manner that is free from conflict of interest. Except for
reimbursement of official DAC-PSM-related travel and per diem, members
serve without compensation.
