The New Hampshire National Guard has come under scrutiny for its handling of sexual harassment and assault cases, as reported by current and former members of the guard. Interviews revealed a culture of retaliation against whistleblowers and neglect for victims of sexual assault within the organization.
One disturbing incident involved a lieutenant colonel who deployed to the southern border in October 2022. He was found to have sent sexually suggestive messages to women, taken photos of women without their consent, and coerced women to visit his hotel room under threat of making their deployments difficult if they objected.
