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?

Throat punch and say "I guess your going to sick call for that sore throat first. Make sure you finish this task before you secure for the day after ward."

As a platoon commander I look at the Platoon sergeant give him a nod then turn my back while he wails on the kid.
When I turn back all is good

PT him til he drops. He learns a lesson as even the dumbest box of rocks understands exhaustion and you will have a better fit member of your team while exercising your authority over him. win win

Remind the E2 that not following orders can potentially kill people. I would then charge with disobeying a direct order, but only after getting 100 push ups from the E2.

I will bring him to an office with another Supervisor and talk tontje person find out what going on, why he is refusing tondonthe staff and find out thats going on in his personal life that could be effecting his judgment. I will remaind her or her what he duties are and what will be the concicuenses for not following an order, hopefully they will follow the order after that, if not i will advice my Superior of the situation regardless if he or she does the task or not.
If the choose to do the task, i will make sure the understand and the know how to execute the task by either assigning some one that can assist in the process and training and at tue end of the task i will verify if the job is completed properly at that time i can either praise or train the person depending on the completed job.
