Sex assault latest target for military trailblazer

Lt. Col. Celia FlorCruz blazed a path for women in the military, first as a graduate of the second class at West Point to admit female cadets and later as a helicopter pilot running medical missions in the Gulf War.
Those were tough assignments in which she had to prove herself.
Now the 54-year-old FlorCruz has an assignment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord calling on her to make the Army a better place by rooting out sexual assaults in the ranks.
She’s the top sex assault prevention and response officer for the 7th Infantry Division, which includes the base’s main combat brigades.
