Tuesday, December 10th, 2019 -- 11:46 AM
(WRN) -The Wisconsin National Guard's commanding officer is stepping down as a response to a scathing report over the mishandling of sexual assault investigations.Adjutant General Donald Dunbar will be stepping down at the end of the year after a request from Governor Tony Evers. That's in the wake of a report from the Pentagon that the National Guard mishandled a decade's worth of sexual assault investigations. The Defense Department says the Guard failed to refer reports of sexual assault to outside law enforcement and failed to properly report and investigate numerous cases of sexual harassment.
Brigadier General Gary Ebben will replace Dunbar on an interim basis, until a new commanding officer is selected.
