Established in 2020, the Defense Advisory Committee for the Prevention of Sexual Misconduct (DAC-PSM) provides independent advice and recommendations on the prevention of sexual assault and other sexual misconduct involving members of the Armed Forces. In addition, the Committee provides independent advice and recommendations on the sexual assault prevention policies, programs, and practices of each Military Department, each Armed Force, each Military Service Academy, and the Coast Guard Academy.

DAC-PSM members offer experience and expertise in sexual assault prevention, academic research, public health, and organizational change. The Committee meets publicly approximately three times per year and is allowed a maximum of 20 members.
