- Summary:
- Sexual assault is a heinous crime that can have lasting, harmful effects on victims, and contradicts the core values that DOD and the Coast Guard expect servicemembers to follow. This report identifies and describes the status of each statutory requirement for sexual assault prevention and response contained in the NDAAs. It also evaluates the extent to which DOD and the Coast Guard implemented the statutory requirements, and assessed their effectiveness when directed by statute. GAO is making 23 recommendations to improve oversight of DOD's and the Coast Guard's sexual assault prevention and response efforts, including that DOD establish an evaluation plan, and that DOD and the Coast Guard establish mechanisms to track and to document that relevant laws are implemented.
