The U.S. Army suspended the commanding general of its forces in Japan while probing whether he failed to properly handle a sexual-assault allegation.
Major General Michael T. Harrison “was suspended following actions taken today by Secretary of the Army John McHugh and Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno due to allegations that Harrison failed in his duties as a commander to report or properly investigate an allegation of sexual assault,” the Pentagon said late yesterday in a statement, without providing details.
