The task force issued three reports containing 194 recommendations. The Fiscal Year 2004 National Defense Authorization Act required GAO to review DOD's progress in implementing the recommendations. This report discusses (1) DOD's ability to report on domestic violence incidents and disciplinary actions, (2) the resources DOD has provided to implement the recommendations, and (3) DOD's specific actions to ensure victim confidentiality and the education of commanding officers, senior enlisted personnel, and chaplains. GAO also examined whether DOD has established an oversight framework to monitor implementation https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-540/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-540.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-540/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-540.pdf GAO-06-540 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-540 Other Written Product GAO-06-540; Military Personnel: Progress Made in Implementing Recommendations to Reduce Domestic Violence, but Further Management Action Needed; Data collection Data integrity Databases Disciplinary actions Domestic violence Internal controls Military officers Military policies Military training Reporting requirements Public Law 93-579 Public Law 103-62 Public Law 103-160 Public Law 106-65 Public Law 108-136
