How would you react to an E2 who "smart mouths" you in formation?

Here's the background. You're a senior E5. Your troops are in formation and you're handing out work for the day. You hand out an assignment to a fresh E2 with less than a year in and only a few months at your command. They blatantly complain and tell you to choose someone else. You calmly tell them they will do this task and they tell you to shove it and give it to someone else. How do you react?

Dismiss the rest of the troops and have him/her stand fast with their first line and allow them to explain if there's no explanation conduct proper paperwork.

As a junior Marine, E3, I knew if I mouthed off that I was headed straight for a damn knife-hand to the corroded. Even the worst tasks must be handled with a few simple words, "I'm on it, Sargent." Later on you can get out all the "wtf" and "this is BS" rants...
