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?

Calmly ask him if there's a problem. If he still continues, smoke him until he's swimming

I don't care what that person is going through - they have no right to tell an E5 (or even an E4) to shove it.
If the person is having issues with other people in the unit and are getting harassed - or a personal issue has caused them some problems - they need to pull the E5 off to the side and request a private meeting to work something out.
To me, that E2 was ready for a good old fashion ass kicking.

I took my problem child a storeroom and WORKED it out! Never had a issue again.

Push ups, extra duty, restriction, order all hands to assist the individual in performance of the task. No physical touching as you go to jail for that now.

This would depend on what kind of soldier the E2 has been. If this is an isolated incident and kid is going through a rough time I simply do a 4856 because he defied me in front of junior soldiers clearly stating that if this type behavior becomes a pattern will have to follow with UCMJ.
If the E-2 is a proven dirt bag run this incident up the chain of command recommending UCMJ
