A Pentagon official misused his position to allow a family member access to a Pentagon firing range and shooting lessons; had subordinates get his lunch and coffee daily; promoted a subordinate on the basis of their relationship; and granted administrative leave for a golf tournament, according to an investigation by the agency’s inspector general.

Stephen E. Calvery, director of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, violated ethics regulations with his misuse of authority, the Department of Defense inspector general said in a heavily redacted report made public Monday. The IG investigated several hotline complaints made in March 2011 against Calvery, at the request of a U.S. Senator.
