National Guard sexual assault reports have tripled

The National Guard welcomes and promotes women  that is, until they report a sexual assault. A joint investigation by the Cap Times and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel found that Guard units have buried allegations, withheld crucial documents from victims and retaliated against women who have come forward. Here’s what you need to know: What is the Guard? The National Guard is composed of militias from 50 states, three U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. The nation’s oldest military force, Guard members have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and have been especially visible in recent months, policing protests, testing citizens for COVID-19 and patrolling the U.S. Capitol.

Katelyn Ferral of The Cap Times Published 9:25 pm UTC Mar. 17, 2021 Teresa James faced a colossal mission: evacuate 1,500 military workers while moving thousands of trucks and tents off an American air base in central Iraq. Working under occasional enemy fire, James orchestrated the move in 45 days  a task commanders called “Herculean,” awarding her the Bronze Star in 2010.  It was just one of many accolades James had received as an officer in the National Guard. Her performance reviews year after year had been stellar. One in 2001 called her “exceptionally exemplary.” Another said: “Promote now!” But that all changed in 2012, when James reported being raped by a superior officer.
