      Navy Saw Small Increase in Sexual Assault Reports in FY 2024, According to DoD Report

      The Navy received 2,027 reports of sexual assault in Fiscal Year 2024, an increase of 4.4 percent over the previous year, according to the Department of Defense’s Annual Sexual Assault Report, released Thursday. The DoD sees increases in sexual assault reports as a positive trend, noting that it means more service members are willing to trust the system, bringing the numbers closer to actual prevalence. According to the annual sexual assault report for Fiscal year 2023, an estimated 7.5 percent of female sailors and 1.8 percent of male experience unwanted sexual contact. The DoD did not measure prevalence in FY 2024. The next survey will be conducted in Fiscal Year 2025.

While the White House is claiming that the Fiscal Year 2026 proposal would include the first $1 trillion defense budget, Republicans on Capitol Hill say that number includes dollars from the current reconciliation proposal and argue that accounting does not add up to the defense spending they want to see from the new administration.
