I have submitted several Senate bills in my testimony.

So these surveys are institutionalized in the Army. What about the other Services?

Servicemembers are protected under law and DOD policy from retaliatory personnel actions based on protected communications.

General Dempsey, General Odierno, Admiral Greenert, General Amos, General Welsh, and Admiral Papp, after the initial training, how often is it repeated as these servicemembers progress in their careers?

Servicemembers are protected from reprisal and retaliation under the provisions of section 1034 of title 10, U.S.C.

Unless and until we professionalize the military justice system, and afford servicemembers at least the same access to legal redress that civilian victims have, including critical access to civil suits, we will not change this culture.

We need to think well outside the box to find transformative solutions.

We are facing a crisis in the ranks.

DOD has been trying to work on the issue of sexual assault for a significant period of time.

I think it allows our priorities to be where they ought to be in terms of enforcement.

I would like to continue to work with the Members of the Committee and with all of you to seek improvements on the family provisions.
