Sexual assault and harassment prevention program \u2018hasn\u2019t achieved its mandate,\u2019 says Army secretary<\/h3>\n

You don’t say?<\/p>\n

An independent review of Fort Hood\u2019s command climate is complete and its findings are slated to be released Dec. 8, but Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said an initial look at the report reveals shortcomings that must be addressed.<\/p>\n

The report was compiled by a team of personnel from outside the Department of the Army who were tasked with examining the command climate and culture at Fort Hood and its surrounding community in central Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy preliminary review of the report, recent cases and recent media coverage, have hardened my belief that the Army\u2019s SHARP program hasn\u2019t achieved its mandate to eliminate sexual assaults and sexual harassment by creating a climate that respects the dignity of every member of the Army family,\u201d McCarthy said in a video statement Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Army leadership intends to also release an action plan to address the review\u2019s recommendations when it\u2019s released next month.<\/p>\n

The Army\u2019s Sexual Harassment\/Assault Response and Prevention program, or SHARP, has been under scrutiny in recent months following the death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, a Fort Hood soldier who prosecutors say was murdered in an armory on post by a fellow 3rd Cavalry Regiment trooper.<\/p>\n

Guillen\u2019s family said she had been sexually harassed by a fellow soldier prior to her death, but she didn\u2019t report the incident for fear of retribution. Following those allegations, Army Forces Command sent a small team in June to specifically look at the SHARP program on Fort Hood.<\/p>\n

FORSCOM\u2019s review found that the post\u2019s SHARP program overall meets Army standards. But the team also found that 18 out of the 52 women surveyed on post, about one-third, reported being sexually harassed. That number concerned lawmakers and prompted questions about whether the standards of success for SHARP programs need to be changed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clearly, this is something that they will need a special man for. I can volunteer. I do have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people who dislike Powerpoint presentations. If you attend my boring annual lecture, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you and I will educate you.<\/p>\n

Is there\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>amount of lecturing that can solve all interpersonal problems? Any first sergeant can tell you that daily briefings, weekly briefings, and Friday afternoon briefings will not keep your junior enlisted from sticking their proverbial fingers in the proverbial electric sockets 70 seconds after they’re released to their own devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
