Among its conclusions, the Navy’s investigation identified “failures across multiple systems that led to a number of candidates being at a high risk of serious injury,” including “inadequate oversight, insufficient risk assessment, poor medical command and control…” and “wholly inadequate” medical monitoring and care after Hell Week, according to a statement from Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey’s 4th District.
