(WBAP/KLIF) — A new study finds that female soldiers at army bases in Texas, Colorado, Kansas and Kentucky face a greater risk of sexual assault and harassment than those at other posts.
More than a third of all active duty army women were sexually assaulted at bases in those four states during 2018. The study by rand corp. was released Friday. It says female soldiers at Fort Hood and Fort Bliss in Texas, faced the highest risk, particularly those in combat commands, field artillery and engineering.
Units with more frequent deployments to war also saw higher risk. Other high risk bases included Fort Campbell in Kentucky, Fort Carson in Colorado and Fort Riley in Kansas.
