Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy and the five civilian members of the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee determined there was an environment at Fort Hood that allowed sexual assault and harassment to proliferate, and that Army CID agents at the post were under-experienced and over-assigned.
The review also raised concerns about how Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention programs are conducted across the force, as well as how the Army investigates soldiers’ deaths and disappearances beyond Fort Hood.
“Our charter was to look at Fort Hood and that was what we did. But we are not oblivious to the fact that this is one Army and Fort Hood is potentially emblematic of other things going on in the Army,” said Jack White, an attorney with a background in government investigations who was on the committee."
Fourteen leaders at Fort Hood, Texas, from the deputy commander down to the squad level, were relieved or suspended after the Army secretary and chief of staff were handed the results of an independent committee’s review of the command climate there.
III Corps deputy commander, Maj. Gen. Scott L. Efflandt, as well as the 3rd Cavalry Regiment commander and senior enlisted soldier, Col. Ralph Overland and Command Sgt. Maj. Bradley Knapp, were all relieved,
McCarthy also directed the suspension of two 1st Cavalry Division leaders, Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Broadwater and Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas C. Kenny.

SPC Daniel Rankin
I had read about this and found it to be very disgusting for any person of rank to do this. In my army men treated women in the military with respect, for one reason at least because most of those women worked hard and could keep up. They earned and deserved the rank the rank they got. Some of the tank mechanics in my unit were women and they worked just as hard as I did and even did the dirty jobs like every one else.

Senior leadership relieved after a high profile investigation. To quote Buddy the Elf, "shocking".
