Broadwater was among 14 Fort Hood military leaders fired or suspended from duty by then-Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy for creating a "permissive environment" that let crimes up to sexual harassment and assault occur with little punitive action, per an investigation into the death of Vanessa Guillén.[9][10] He ultimately did not face any disciplinary action, but was consequently not present at the 1st Cavalry's change of command ceremony in July 2021.[11][12]
