Driving Under the Influence Before a Deployment

Abstract

This paper discusses the ethical dilemma that confronted a battalion chain of command when a Sergeant fire team leader received a driving under the influence citation the night before the battalion deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The ethical decision making process was used by all members of the chain of command to make a decision that was not in accordance with the unit's standard operating procedure and the norms of the unit.
