DOD’s and U.S. Coast Guard’s Efforts to Prevent Sexual Assault In The Military
Sexual assault is a heinous crime that can have a lasting, harmful effect on victims. But when it occurs among the ranks of military service members, it can have the additional effect of undermining the military's ability to carry out its missions. Congress has directed the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard to improve its efforts to prevent and respond to sexual assault incidents. We find out more about the status of these efforts from GAO’s Brenda Farrell.
