"Only 11 of the women reported being assaulted to military authorities, Hansen said."

If the actual number is 37 then that's about parallel with the 'civilian' 3:1 ratio of reports to actual incidents.

One thing for sure...the news isn't always accurate:

(excerpt)

"The Pentagon said that in the Central Command region -- which includes Iraq and Kuwait as well as the Horn of Africa, the entire Gulf region and Central Asia including Afghanistan (news - web sites) -- the U.S. military had received reports in the past year of 88 cases of "sexual misconduct." Eighty involved Army soldiers, with seven from the Air Force and one from the Marines."

[edit] In fact, in the article you posted (further down), it references 80 cases being reported.
