| U.S. troops describe living in military barracks as 'continuous misery' |
| 2023-09-21 |
| [Center Square] Sewage backups and inoperable fire systems are among the safety hazards that U.S. service members living in barracks face, according to a new report on how such conditions undermine quality of life and military readiness. A U.S. Government Accountability Office report found that the Pentagon's assessments of conditions at barracks "are unreliable" and "observed barracks that pose potentially serious health and safety risks — such as broken windows and inoperable fire systems — and that do not meet minimum [U.S. Department of Defense] standards for privacy and configuration." "Thousands of service members live in barracks below standards," according to the report, which was published Tuesday. |
