An investigation has been initiated against Army Col Meghann Sullivan for alleged acts of sexual assault and harassment towards her male subordinates.
Col. Meghann Sullivan, the commander of the US Army’s 5th Security Force Assistance Brigade, has been accused of forcibly kissing and inappropriately touching a male subordinate without consent.

The pioneering commander, the first woman to lead a SFAB battalion, is facing allegations of sexual harassment towards several male subordinates, as reported by Military.com on Tuesday April 25.
She has been suspended pending the investigation.
“We have no information on that matter that we can share at this time,” said Security Force Assistance Command spokesperson Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Patoka to Military.com. “We take any and all allegations seriously and handle them appropriately as circumstances dictate.”
The investigation comes amid the US Army’s ongoing struggle with sexual harassment claims within its ranks, with about 10% of unwanted sexual contact cases involving male victims, according to Defense Department data, totaling around 14,000 cases annually.
The relatively low number of male victims is believed to be due to the social stigma faced by male soldiers when reporting such incidents.
