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?

Ask the right questions, get the wrong answers is the right way to escalate anger...should push come to shove, a little wall-to-wall counseling wouldn't be out of order.

Excuse everyone except him and his team leader and explain to him how miserable his life will get if he ever does that again. Not picking on his team leader but since he will be in charge of his work detail, they will both be doing extra duty of cleaning a compartment or whipping up oil some where. Thats what I would do.
