Gen. Garrett directed the relief of five current or former leaders (officers and non commissioned officers) in the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. Of the five, three will also receive General Officer Memorandums of Reprimand (GOMORs).
Gen. Garrett referred further action against seven additional officers and non-commissioned officers to Lt. Gen. Pat White, commanding general of III Corps, and further action against one non-commissioned officer to a separate command. Those eight officers and non-commissioned officers will receive GOMORs, and in addition one will be notified of relief.

The U.S. Army on Friday confirmed for the first time that slain Spc. Vanessa Guillen was sexually harassed and further retaliated against at Fort Hood, which her family in Houston has consistently alleged in their fight for criminal justice reform in the military.
In late summer of 2019, Guillen, who was then a private first class, was the victim of sexual harassment after her superior in a troop orderly room in Spanish tried to solicit her to participate in a threesome, according to a report released Friday from an investigation led by Gen. John Murray, the commander of Army Futures Command based in Austin.
