No.<br />Can a Commander with UCMJ authority pursue charges under Art 107 if a Soldier knowingly made false official statements with the intent to deceive? Yes. <br />It's a tricky situation, every complainant has whistleblower protection against reprisal.<br />However, the more unfounded complaints one individual has with IG and EO, the less likely whistleblower protection will help that individual.Response by SGM Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 17 at 2021 9:00 AM2021-07-17T09:00:52-04:002021-07-17T09:00:52-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member7114729<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes depending on the circumstances. However it is not a crime to make erroneous allegations they must also be knowingly false. So generally a complainant will be protected if they made the allegations in good faith, or if it can't be proven that they lied.<br /><br />I've seen multiple investigations over questionable allegations in my unit. Usually when they cannot be resolved command just laterally transfers one or the other party to a different unit.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 17 at 2021 12:42 PM2021-07-17T12:42:55-04:002021-07-17T12:42:55-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member7116278<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Only if an investigation finds they were false. Until the investigation into the claims being made is completed, however, charges cannot be pressed.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 18 at 2021 10:38 AM2021-07-18T10:38:04-04:002021-07-18T10:38:04-04:00SSgt Christophe Murphy7117571<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If it is proven that someone in the Command falsified statements there can be punishment given out to that individual. Happens all the time. The key is providing proof.Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Jul 18 at 2021 10:47 PM2021-07-18T22:47:03-04:002021-07-18T22:47:03-04:002021-07-16T23:05:28-04:00
