Sexual assault in the military affects men, too

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that five CONUS Army posts have the highest risk for sexual assault for women 'taking into account several factors according to a Rand Corp. study.'
It is noteworthy IMHO that sexual assault on women occurs much more than sexual assault on me.
Employing the limited factors, CONUS posts with the highest per capita sexual assaults on women. top five posts on Fort Hood and Fort Bliss, Texas, Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and Fort Carson, Colorado.
Researchers then adjusted their calculations for those at-risk characteristics ― age, marital status and so on ― and found a completely different set of high-risk posts for women and men of any demographic.
For women, Fort Drum, New York; Fort Lewis, Washington; and Okinawa, Japan, posed the greatest sexual assault risk. For men, it was Fort Drum; Osan, South Korea; and Italy in general.
I am not discounting male sexual assaults on female servicemembers, I was molested and threatened with death as a child
Since this is Fathers Day
Sexual assault in the military has long been swept under the rug, covered up or rationalized as acts of hazing or bullying. In a new New York Times report, author Dave Philipps details the story of six men who were victimized during their time serving the country. He joined CBSN to discuss his findings.

Sexual assault in the US Military: Momentum builds for a stronger policy and military justice response
25 May 2021
For more than a decade, the occurrence of sexual assault in the US military has generated increasing public condemnation from assault survivors, Congress, Department of Defense (DoD) leaders, and advocacy groups. Despite efforts to improve the prevention of and response to such assaults, the most recent DoD annual report, published in 2020, shows a 3 percent increase in reported cases—from 6053 in 2017-18 to 6236 in 2018-19. However, estimates of the actual number of such assaults are much higher. A watershed 2014 report by RAND estimated approximately 20,000 of the US military’s 1.3 active duty personnel experienced one or more sexual assaults in the previous year, representing 4.9 percent of active duty women and 1 percent of active duty men. Pressure is mounting on the Pentagon leadership to significantly reform how it handles sexual assault within the ranks—a problem that many now believe poses an unacceptable threat to the health and welfare of military service members as well as to the preparedness and effectiveness of military units.
This episode of Transatlantic Currents will discuss: the origins, methodologies, and major conclusions of a series of DoD-commissioned reports that revealed the extent of this disturbing phenomenon; and the reforms under consideration by the Pentagon and Congress.
Questions of equality and harassment have increasingly come to the fore across many armed forces. Solutions are by their nature national, but the global nature of the issues involved make it important to learn from and understand how others address these issues. This webinar reflects on issues concerning the US military but have been raised also elsewhere.

Top 2 are in Desert SW. Hot, dry and sandy. It absolutely should have nothing to do with this, but what do young women tend to do with free time lots of sunshine and sand? Apparel and appearance has a lot to do with a "creeps" choice of victims. I enlisted later in life than most during my time. Schooling and experience allowed Me to start at E-3. My AIT was an interservice location wherein most of the trainees spent a year or more learning Their MOS. I was sitting in the day room late one Saturday evening when a very nice looking young lady came in, in obvious distress. We talked. She was a PV2. It seems that a member of the Cadre, an E-6, had convinced Her that He was leaving His Wife and talked Her into an intimate relationship that had been going on for months. She was about to graduate and get orders to go elsewhere, and had confronted Him as to the "Divorce". Doesn't take much guesswork to figure out how that went. I told Her to go to JAG. I don't know what happened afterward, as I was gone on to My 1st PCS a couple of weeks later.
