Re: Rape in the military

This incident should be reported to the appropriate police department. If on base, then to the base police. If off base, then to the civilian police department. Even if this offense took place off base, there is/might be a collateral military offense. Whether this is or can be an incident that will be a basis for your husband to transfer to a reserve unit is most speculative, and probably dependent somewhat on what branch of service.
