Life on The Frontline - 17 May 2013 
Images from the archive of female soldiers going about their daily activities in conflict zones. A steep rise in sexual assault
cases comes just as the Pentagon moves ahead with plans to integrate women into front-line combat roles.

Two cases in as many weeks in which members of the armed forces tasked with preventing sexual assaults have themselves
been charged with sex crimes, were the last straw for lawmakers.

News of a third similar case broke shortly after a White House meeting when an Army officer who managed the sexual assault
prevention office at Fort Campbell military base in Kentucky, was removed from his job.

Democratic and Republican lawmakers announced legislation that would overhaul the military justice system by taking
responsibility for prosecution of most felony-level cases, including sexual assault, away from the chain of command, making
it easier for victims to seek justice.
