Fraternization

Abstract

Remarks on the historical context of relationships between leaders and their subordinates, the views of an officer as being both commander and leader, and the impact upon organizational discipline of 'improper' as opposed to 'proper' relationships. The author then proceeds to a review of current literature on fraternization as a specific issue, outlining others' views as well as his own. He points out that the views of the policy guidance is needed on what constitutes fraternization, concluding that more specificity would only serve to reduce what should be personal relations and personal judgements of the commander to a matter of impersonal routine.
