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?

The value of respect has to be instilled in all who serve. No wavering at all. Respect the rank at minimum.

Straight blast him out of his boots. You don't ever mouth off to your NCOIC or D.I.

I am new to the armed forces, but technically an NCO of higher ranks has the command to make the choice on whether or not a smart lower rank person can be rude to him or not. I would never in my life talk like that to an NCO that was in charge of me or my squadron. For one, it is disrespectful and could cause more harm than good when it is brought up to higher NCOs, you will be on their watch and they will see to it, you are their first priority to be taken care of and told of your orders on whether there will be punishment or you will be relieved of all orders and sent packing.
