The military saw 8,942 sexual assault reports filed from Oct. 1, 2021, to Sept. 30, 2022, officials said in a report.
President Joe Biden is scheduled to sign a"historic" executive order Friday that will pose a significant change in the handling of serious military crimes, particularly sexual assault cases.
This would be an implementation of legislation passed by Congress last year, the National Defense Authorization Act, with the primary goal of bolstering protections for service members. Historically, these service members often found themselves at the mercy of their commanders, who decided whether to take their assault claims seriously.According to the White House, the changes mark the most substantial overhaul of the military justice system since the code was first implemented in 1950.
