Army watchdog got 31 complaints last year

The Army watchdog received 31 complaints of alleged inappropriate behaviour or bullying last year.

The annual report by the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces (ODF) also shows that administrative reforms are needed in relation to the procedures for promotion.

In 2009, the case load before the ODF remained almost static, with 105 investigations being undertaken.

This was a decrease of just one case on the previous year.
