Can and E5 marry a E4?

Both soldiers are active duty, they have completely different chain of commands, different unit, and even different divisions and in no way have influence on each other’s work environment.

There is Army guidance on this issue.

600-20 says no. The reg no longer cares about what unit anyone it is in. It only makes the distinction between junior enlisted, NCOs, and officers.
With that being said, if you show up with a marriage certificate, what is anyone going to do?
Just think it through very carefully first. This is not something to rush into.

Yes, an E-5 can marry an E-4.

I personally don't see why not, IMHO talk with your higher up, and see if he doesn't mind, and if possible talk with your company commander, hopefully he has an open door policy.

Yes, and, as described, is not a violation of AR 600-20.
