Back in 2019, Master Sergeant\u00a0 Christopher Dehn became the NCO of the Year for I Corps’\u00a0 Inspector General Corps. What a difference a few years make:<\/p>\n

Master Sgt. Christopher Dehn, 37, is set to be arraigned June 5 at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state on four counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual harassment, and other charges related to obstructing justice and failure to obey orders and regulations.<\/p>\n

IG offices are spread throughout the federal government and are broadly intended to help detect fraud, waste and abuse and legal violations, and to help promote bureaucratic efficiency.<\/p>\n

They do not generally handle allegations of unwanted sexual contact, a job that falls to the military’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response offices and law enforcement. However, there are certain exceptions under which an IG office may investigate sexual assault or harassment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MSG Dehn seems to have in-depth knowledge of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

His page also notes that he formerly served as an Army Sexual Harassment\/Assault Response and Prevention, or SHARP, victim’s advocate for the 1st Infantry Division between 2012 and 2014, while stationed at Fort Riley<\/a>, Kansas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seems to have passed all of the classes teaching him how, hmm?<\/p>\n

In an email to Military.com, the I Corps public affairs office noted that Dehn is a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist with I Corps; has been stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord since January 2018; and has served for almost 20 years.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, his personal awards include two Meritorious Service Medals, six Army Commendation Medals, 11 Army Achievement Medals, 13 Certificates of Achievement and one Meritorious Unit Commendation.<\/p>\n

Upon receiving the 2019 I Corps inspector general NCO of the year award, Dehn noted that the essay component of the competition was a key part of being selected as the winner.<\/p>\n

“The point of my essay was to show the importance of the inspector general and how they can improve readiness throughout the corps,” Dehn said at the time. “My piece is looking out for soldiers.” Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Think I have found the problem…looking OUT for soldiers, not looking UP them (apologies to Woody Allen).<\/p>\n

Not sure he’s gonna finish that 20. Sarcasm aside, sure hope this turns out OK if he’s innocent.\u00a0 If not…well, Kansas is nice this time of year, especially at Leavenworth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
