Case DescriptionKara Broga, a trainee with the U.S. Army Reserve, was sexually assaulted by her drill sergeant at Fort Dix in 1991. She left the base twice without authorization. She was subsequently separated from the military and asked for a criminal investigation of her drill sergeant. She eventually filed a FOIA request for the investigation report and other reports of sexual assault against the drill sergeant. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request, but after Broga was told that it was still being reviewed in the main FOIA office, she filed suit.
