An investigation revealed that lower-level units improperly handed reports of sexual assault and harassment. The unit headquarters had problems complying with the SHARP program regulatory requirements for “several years,” Army officials said.
The investigation identified SHARP program staffing gaps within the 416th TEC and noted that headquarters failed to monitor annual training requirements and provided “ambiguous guidance” on how to conduct sexual assault review boards. Problems were discovered with the procedures used to hire civilian SHARP program employees, including questions about their abilities, credentialing, training and individual performance on the job, Army officials said.
Lt. Gen. Jody Daniels, commander of U.S. Army Reserve Command, also took administrative action against 12 other officers, non-commissioned officers and civilian Army employees, based on the findings from the investigation, officials said.

A top general has lost her command and multiple soldiers have been reprimanded following a monthslong investigation into allegations that an Illinois-based Army Reserve unit mishandled sexual assault complaints for years, Army officials said Tuesday.

The senators request followed an Associated Press story about allegations of improper internal investigations into sexual assault complaints within the unit and retaliation against a whistleblower.
Army officials released the findings from the investigation on Tuesday. The probe concluded that multiple leaders in the 416th lacked basic knowledge of how to handle sexual assaults and harassment and failed to properly staff offices designed to support victims.
