Ethical Enforcement of the Family Care Plan Policy

Abstract

Regardless to Army Regulation 600-20 paragraph 5.5 defining and giving guidance concerning Family Care Plans for all service members, officers and enlisted, senior Army leaders continue to make decisions that contradict the regulation. Most enlisted Soldiers who can not provide a family care plan for their dependent children are chaptered out of the Army while officers are neither flagged nor chaptered; they seem to operate under their own set of rules. Contradictions such as these create confusion, a sense of unfairness, and a perception that commanders only apply the regulation when it comes to the enlisted Soldiers.
