But officials estimated that less than 40 percent of all assaults are formally reported to commanders for investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby announced that Lynn Rosenthal, a noted gender violence expert, has been tapped to head up the new commission. Members are expected to interact with current and former service members as part of their work, through both installation visits and a new online resource where individuals can share their ideas for changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA officials did not give additional details of their department\u2019s role in the work, but said they have been in contact with both the Defense Department and White House about participating in the effort in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to department research, about one in four female veterans and one in 100 male veterans have reported some form of military sexual trauma during their time in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2020\/12\/18\/i-hung-up-and-vomited-veteran-sexual-assault-survivors-say-vas-outreach-retraumatized-them\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/VA.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018I hung up and vomited\u2019 \u2014 Veteran sexual assault survivors say VA\u2019s outreach retraumatized them<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Veterans said they were thrust into public discussions of military sexual trauma topics without warning or proper support.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The veterans department has also had its share of public problems on the issue of sexual misconduct in recent years. In December, officials were forced to apologize after thousands of sexual assault victims were invited without warning into a group conference call on available VA benefits, a conversation that included graphic discussions about abuse and personal trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also late last year, dozens of members of Congress and veterans service organizations called for the resignation or firing of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2020\/12\/11\/major-veterans-groups-call-for-va-secretarys-ouster-following-damning-report\/\" target=_blank>former VA Secretary Robert Wilkie<\/a> over his handling of a sexual assault report by a veteran who works as a congressional staffer. Critics said his behavior and officials\u2019 lack of work on sexual misconduct prevention caused a lack of confidence in the entire department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his first message to the VA workforce after being sworn in as secretary, McDonough vowed to establish \u201ca workplace free of harassment and discrimination\u201d within the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will not accept discrimination, harassment, or assault at any level or at any facility within VA,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will provide a safe, inclusive environment for veterans and VA employees.
