My CSM wants me to be the Sharp and EO rep for my. Battalion. I was told I can’t be both is there a reg that states that if so which one is it and in what section does it state that. Thanks

As long as it is an additional duty you can serve both roles. If you serve either in a full-time position, you won’t be able to do both. I’m currently a SARC at the Installation level at Fort Gordon. As a full-time SARC or full-time Victim Advocate, you cannot have any other additional duties duty to having to be available at all times. To serve as a SARC, you have to be an E-7, so you’ll have to serve as a Victim Advocate as an additional duty. I hope this helps

I was an EOL and just went to SHARP. I was told by the instructors at SHARP that I could not fill both roles but I don't know if it's regulatory or a recommendation.

you must be a SFC or up to be an EOA. As a SSG you can go to EOL school which I did last year it is just an additional duty unlike EOA which is an actual Billet. Sharp program is a totally different beast. I know being a SARC is a battalion level or higher I don't know the specifics on it off the top of my head.
AR 600-20 a good website also https://usacac.army.mil/schools-and-centers/sharp-academy/crsdescription
You can also search ATTRS for course requirements.

It is discouraged to fill both roles as one- it can create a conflict of interest (as with any additional duties) hence changing POSH and secondly the functions and roles are different. Specifically the role you play as a VA when your SARC takes a case.

Yes. I've done it. I have heard about a "reg" that did not allow it, but have never found it. I believe it is more of a recommendation, than a requirement. When in doubt, ask the EOA, and bounce it off Command Policy.

My unit has one SSG for both SHARP and EO. It is possible. Whether it is a good thing for your unit to have less representatives is a different question.

SSG (Join to see) - It wouldn't surprise me if one isn't supposed to cover down on both duties, but as with anything, you may find the rules overlooked for expediency-if expediency is what is needed of course. Good luck with what you find.
