The Military Personnel Sub-Committee of the House Armed Services Committee spoke positively about the progress being made following the 70 recommended changes requested by the Independent Review Committee, during a press conference May 6 at Fort Hood.
âIâm happy to say that Fort Hood has taken very seriously the criticisms theyâve received. They have, indeed, created a campaign around People First,â Congresswoman Jackie Speier (California-District 14), who serves as chair of the sub-committee, announced. âThere is a seismic change at Fort Hood in terms of the way they are treating their Soldiers.â
During the sub-committeeâs two-day visit to Fort Hood, the congresswoman said they took time to speak with Fort Hood leaders regarding the changes being made. She said they also spoke with Soldiers of all ranks to find out if the changes have made a positive impact.
Army finally admits Vanessa Guillén was sexually harassed in new report, several more officers disciplined Joseph Wilkinson
Vanessa Guillén was sexually harassed by a supervisor before she was killed by a different soldier last year, the U.S. Army confirmed in a report released Friday.
Guillén’s family had long maintained the 20-year-old was a victim of sexual harassment before she was killed on April 22, 2020, at Fort Hood in Texas.
However, the two groups still disagree on whether Spc. Aaron Robinson, the man accused of killing Guillén, harassed her prior to her death. Army investigators concluded that Robinson harassed a different female soldier, but Guillén’s family says he was one of multiple soldiers who harassed Guillén before she was killed.

“While every crime scene is unique, outdoor scenes are especially challenging because agents have to work against the clock, as the elements change the nature of evidence over time,” said Clayton Drown, a special agent and OSI Det. 631 commander. “JBER conservation officers taught us blood drops in snow can be carried off by scavenging birds or a gust of wind, direct sunlight can change a footprint in snow, and a bullet casing could become difficult to recover.”
To mitigate these unique problems, the exercise focused on three techniques: how to find bullet casings, how to cast foot and tire prints, and how to collect a blood sample all left behind in Alaska’s dry snow. Dry snow is powdery and easily blown around by wind.
