If you don't know of any research in these areas, would appreciate any pointers to articles that explore these two issues and how they might be related...
I'm not aware of any research comparing the two forms of sexual assault, though there is increasing interest in institution-related sexual offending.
I did find one potentially relevant study, comparing data on college/university sexual assault with military academy sexual assault. Both campuses, though there is a non-military to military comparison.

Thanks Michael, this is a great suggestion.... Are you in Ottawa? Because I just found a new grad student, Leah Marshal who just obtained a position at Fanshawe College as the Sexual Violence Prevention Advisor. She is a certified facilitator of Bringing in the Bystander, an innovative approach to the widespread issue of sexual violence across campuses and other communities. . thanks for the pointer!
I am not aware of any research comparing the two. I have some articles regarding rape in the military if they would help.
Hi. In Australia we recently had a major inquiry into sexual abuse in the military and one outcome was a 'restorative justice' program, the Defence Abuse Response Taskforce (DART) which is quite fully reported and seems to be quite constructive. If this is of interest the website is https://www.defenceabusetaskforce.gov.au/Outcomes/Pages/DefenceAbuseRestorativeEngagementProgram.aspx
I don't have info on comparisons with campus assault, but I think this is quite a significant Australian innovation, and I hope it's of interest.

If you look at this link, there are statistics about the prevalence of sexual violence in the military and on college campuses. Though it is not a study comparing the two; it does give you a bit of a sense of the differences. Having studied and programmed in both areas, my current understanding is that sexual assault is more common in the military than at colleges; though in both places, the rate is unacceptably high (of course, there is no rate that would be acceptable except zero). It is also my impression that the military is substantially more concerned with using prevention approaches that work than are colleges. Here is the link to some statistics:
