Ann Burkhardt, director of the Defense Department\u2019s sexual assault prevention and response office. \u201cWe view this willingness report as the result of a decade-long effort to improve victim support, criminal investigation and military justice.\u201d <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some service members also, in a separate focus group, reported \u201ctraining fatigue\u201d in the amount of sexual assault awareness training they are required to take, the study said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase occurred in a year that included<a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2017\/10\/12\/former-sailor-claims-she-was-sexually-harassed-in-facebook-group\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\" data-original-title=\"\" aria-describedby=\"popover986352\"> two major <\/a>online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/03\/01\/seven-marines-court-martialed-in-wake-of-marines-united-scandal\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">photo sharing scandals<\/a> and high-visibility affronts, such as pilots drawing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2017\/12\/01\/navy-disciplines-aviators-who-drew-penis-in-the-sky\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">sky penises<\/a>, that changes in culture have not taken hold, and incidents are on the rise despite greater awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon will need additional data to determine whether the rising number of reported assaults reflects an increase in actual sexual assaults occurring, or just an increase in victims\u2019 willingness to come forward and report them, said Nate Galbreath, deputy director of the sexual assault prevention and response office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe won\u2019t know about an increase in crime until we see our prevalence numbers for next year,\u201d Galbreath said, referring to a survey conducted every other year that gives DoD a clearer picture on how many assaults are actually being committed, versus how many are getting reported. The next survey will cover fiscal year 2018, which ends Sept. 30. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increased reports could reflect greater confidence in reporting, DoD
