Pentagon spending on sexual assault prevention and response programs has quadrupled since 2008, according to figures released by the Defense Department.
Whether that investment has paid dividends depends on where you stand:
Pentagon officials point to a long-term trend of lower estimates of sexual assaults in the ranks over the last decade.
