Dozen Illinois soldiers reprimanded in sexual assault investigation

The Department of Defense started investigating the 416th Theater Engineer Command in January 2020. That s when The Associated Press published a story about allegations that 416th commanders improperly opened internal investigations into sexual assault complaints and retaliated against a whistleblower.
The Army Reserve s deputy commanding general, Greg Mosser, announced the disciplinary steps Monday but declined to name the soldiers or elaborate on their violations.
