The Army Ends Anonymous Harassment Complaints After Hegseth Objects

The Army is carrying out a directive from War Secretary Pete Hegseth to curtail what he called "frivolous" anonymous reporting programs. Under the new rules, soldiers must identify themselves to Military Equal Opportunity officials when filing a complaint, though their identities will remain confidential within the process. Supporters say the change stops the weaponization of the system against commanders; critics say it will keep junior soldiers from coming forward at all.
