Mike Turner, a Republican from Dayton and chairman of the House Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus, said the numbers at Wright-Patterson are lower than other bases, but still too high. He said they show \u201cwe have a long way to go to create a safe work environment in the military.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force as a whole saw a small increase in reports of assaults from 2015 to 2016, going from 1,009 to 1,043.
