What specifically are each of your services doing to end retaliation against sexual-assault survivors who report those crimes?
So, even the services--tell me, how is it going? Have we prosecuted any yet? If we have a rate so high, we need to start prosecuting it as the crime that it is.
I can't fix these problems unless I can prove to the DOD and my colleagues that they exist.
I remain concerned about the pace of accessing and signing women into all military occupations and units that were previously denied to them.
Mr. Wilkie, as you mentioned in your testimony, the Department released its new policy on non-deployability this week.
the rate of entrepreneurship in America has grown in the past couple of years.
does every servicemember receive training on recognizing the signs of child abuse?
Mr. Wilkie, please identify which Military Occupational Specialties require a servicemember to be worldwide deployable and which do not.
Mr. Wilkie, please provide, in detail, the categories of non-deployability and the number of servicemembers who fall into each category.
The reported retaliation rate against survivors has consistently been around 60 percent, which is deeply troubling.
do you have a prosecutor trained in special victim capabilities assigned to each case as either the primary counsel or the assistant counsel?
Well, the RAND Corporation does the survey for the Department of Defense, and they implement it.
What strategies have you employed to ensure the effectiveness of combat integration?
I'm concerned about, not just divorce rates, but also domestic violence rates and suicide rates that you've all talked about today.
Can I have a letter from each one of your services outlining exactly when prosecutors are consulted?
We need to address the challenges faced by our service members and their families.
I think it's a unique opportunity for this population, one that the Boots to Business Program and the ability of spouses to take advantage of that has to remain central to how we think about transitioning families out of the military.
Mr. Wilkie, are servicemembers who are restricted to certain assignments due to their participation in the Exceptional Family Member Program subject to the mandates of this policy?
