“Sexual harassment and hostile work environment is commonplace in the CANG (California Air National Guard).” That information uncovered in a previously unreported document was exposed in a joint investigation by NBC Bay Area and KNBC-TV. During a more than five-month investigation, journalists from the two television stations interviewed more than two dozen current and former members of the guard and uncovered a dark hidden culture “Behind the Gates of the Guard.” The reporting found the California National Guard failing to meet the National Guard standard and accepting, investigating and handling complaints involving sexual harassment, sexual assaults and racism. This investigation uncovered instances where sexual harassment, racism and sexual assault was not properly investigated by the California Guard.
