Advocates Hope First Female Army Secretary Brings Change
Nominee Christine Wormuth has led strategy and policy at the highest levels. Can she lead cultural change as well?
Senior Pentagon Reporter, Defense One
When Christine Wormuth was nominated to be U.S. Army secretary last week, attorney Natalie Khawam’s phone lit up with messages from her clients.
Khawam has helped service members for years seek justice after sexual assault. She became a national voice last year as she stood beside the tearful family of murdered soldier Spc. Vanessa Guillén.
Guillén’s body was found outside of Fort Hood, in Texas, in June, and her death brought national attention to longstanding criticisms of how the Army responds to sexual harassment and assault claims in its ranks. Guillen’s family has said she was being sexually harassed before her death but was afraid to report the harassment to her chain of command.
