Abstract: This GAO Report documents the findings of the General Accounting Office in reviewing the rights and protections afforded military whistleblowers from reprisal in the form of mental health evaluations. Specifically, the report examines the system established under the 1988 Military Whistleblower Protection Act to prevent reprisals and to note its effectiveness. Also, the GAO investigated whether servicemembers have a mechanism to challenge alleged reprisals that occurred prior to enactment of the Whistleblower Act. The Report summarizes its findings, and includes suggestions to the Secretary of Defense on methods to assure the Act is properly implemented and enforced.
