WASHINGTON — Back in 2011, the Government Accountability Office urged the Pentagon to start formally monitoring how military leaders were doing in combating sexual harassment and assault, and the auditors also proposed establishing a Defense Department system for tracking progress in the overall effort.
At the time, a top Pentagon official agreed fully in writing with the auditors’ recommendations and said both tasks would be done that year.
But, more than eight years later, neither job has been accomplished, GAO reported this week.
