The I-PAG is the Army’s dedicated, full-time prevention workforce. The I-PAG’s mission is to support the Army’s integrated prevention system. Using a community-focused approach, the I-PAG works with leaders and prevention stakeholders to implement integrated prevention activities that prevent harmful behaviors before they occur to support Soldier, Civilian, and Family Member well-being and mission readiness.
I-PAG RESPONSIBILITIES
The I-PAG identifies and addresses shared risk and protective factors for harmful behaviors such as sexual assault, suicide, harassment, domestic abuse, and substance misuse through data-driven assessments, planning, and collaboration with prevention stakeholders. The focus of I-PAG efforts is to develop, implement, and evaluate integrated prevention programs, policies, and practices that support leader-led efforts to foster positive environments and strengthen mission readiness.
HOW THE I-PAG ENHANCES PREVENTION EFFORTS
The prevention of harmful behaviors is not a distraction from the warfighting mission; it is essential to it. Harmful behaviors such as sexual assault, suicide, and domestic abuse are direct threats to combat readiness. They fracture trust, erode unit cohesion, and remove Soldiers from the line, fundamentally degrading the lethality and effectiveness of the force. The I-PAG enhances prevention efforts by supporting a sustainable, data-informed prevention system that aligns programs, policies, and practices to local needs and command priorities. Through collaboration, analysis, and tailored strategies, the I-PAG strengthens the overall prevention infrastructure, amplifying the impact of existing and future prevention efforts across the Army.
COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
The I-PAG welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with community-based prevention stakeholders to advance comprehensive, integrated prevention efforts that strengthen community connections, enhance resilience, and support the readiness of Soldiers, Families, and Civilians, while also contributing to broader public health and prevention outcomes in the surrounding area.
