I earned my commission in the United States Navy in October 1999. A year later, I reported as a junior officer on the USS Arleigh Burke, a guided missile destroyer. I was one of four women, all officers, in a crew of over 300. My second ship was much the same: only five of us on an amphibious ship with over 1,000 crew. Women had not been stationed on combatant ships for long and those of us who were among the first found it difficult, particularly in an environment where we were so drastically outnumbered.

Washington: The number of reported US military sexual assault cases stayed at a high level during last year’s COVID-19 lockdown, but did not increase, according a Pentagon report Thursday.
The annual report by the Defence Department’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) recorded 7,816 sexual assault complaints in 2020, a slight fall from the record 7,825 of 2019.

The Department of Defense saw a small increase in reported sexual assaults in 2020, according to an annual report released Thursday. The report shows 6,290 reported sexual assaults that occurred during military service, a 1% increase from 2019.
The 2020 report occurred as bases and commands grappled with COVID restrictions, and it is unclear what impact the pandemic had on reporting.
The pandemic did, however, halt the prevalence survey the Department does every two years to estimate how many incidents occur, not just how many are reported. The most recent survey in 2018 estimated that about 20,500 service members experienced some kind of sexual assault.
