Ethics Of Relationships Between Soldiers Of Different Ranks

Abstract

The intent of the policy is to maintain good order and discipline within units. The policy impacts the civil liberties of Soldiers. The policy excessively regulates relationships between officers and enlisted Soldiers. Specifically, the fraternization policy prohibits sexual or intimate relationships between officers and enlisted Soldiers. We are all entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This policy is an example of undue or unjust governmental control. The Army updated AR 600-20 again on 7 June 2006. We identify prohibited relationships by determining if they adversely impact discipline, morale, or the mission.
