Investigation Launched into Female Commander for Sexual Assault and Harassment of Male Subordinates.

Col. Meghann Sullivan, commander of the 5th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade, is being investigated for multiple sexual assaults and a pattern of sexual harassment of male subordinates. The investigation is ongoing, and Sullivan is seemingly still in command. The news comes as the 5th SFAB's commander, Col. Jonathan Chung, was suspended and faces allegations of counterproductive leadership and abusive treatment of his subordinates. Male victims account for only 10% of sexual assault cases in the military, according to 2021 data from the Department of Defense.
