Hagel meets with brass on sexual assault review
USA Today reports:
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel met Friday with leaders of the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps to review their efforts to screen out potential predators and unqualified troops from their ranks of sexual assault counselors, victim advocates, recruiters and instructors, according to a Defense Department official.
Hagel was told how the services interpreted his May 2013 directive to review the records of troops serving in “positions of trust,” said the official who is not authorized to speak about the internal deliberations. Hagel, who holds a weekly meeting on efforts to stamp out sexual assault, will decide whether the services need to abide by one standard that fits all of them.
