Army Officers Behaving Badly: Exploring the Need for Transparency in the Army's Investigation Process

Abstract

The reporting of senior officer misconduct concerns garners a lot of attention in the media, but little to no information is provided regarding the investigation process, which includes final punishment. Misconduct concerns have the potential to disrupt the Armys foundation of military values, discipline, and sound leadership, so punishment must be swift and transparent for restoration to occur. The lack of transparency in the Armys investigation process hurts its reputation. The Army has a trust stock gained with the American public, but with constant cracks in the Armys foundation of values, discipline, and sound leadership, the trust stock continues to deplete.
