A two-star general who commands US army forces in Japan (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/japan) has been suspended from his duties for allegedly failing to report or properly investigate an allegation of sexual assault, the army said late Friday.
Maj Gen Michael T Harrison was suspended by the army chief of staff, Gen Ray Odierno, and army secretary John McHugh, the army said. It provided no details about the alleged sexual assault case.
Until the investigation of Harrison's role is completed, Maj Gen James C Boozer will take his place in Japan, the army said.
