What is the name of your state? Texas
Does anyone know what rights the soldier has when the Army Chain of Command (COC) refuses to follow Army Command policy Army Regulation (AR) 600-20, Chapter 6, and Appendix E in the matter of investigating a formal EO complaint. As I read and interpreted AR 600-20 there is not much room for error. The original complaint citing racial discrimination was submitted and accepted by Army Reserve leadership on 3 February 2004 and to this day a AR 15-6 investigation has yet to be conducted and a final report has yet to be issued. This process IAW AR 600-20, Appendix E should have at the most taken 120 days from open to close. My case is now over 245 days since acceptance without even a initial report. I have submitted damning evidence to the most senior officials in the Army and Army Reserve Equal Opportunity (EO) and Inspector General leadership community and no one seems to be on high alert to a repeating pattern of failure to abide by Army Command Policy is occuring. The Army only has one way of laying out this process and they are not enforcing EO complaint procedures in regard to my submitted and accepted complaint. Now it seems to deepen into a civil rights violations because my case has not been afforded due process. I followed the complaint process to the letter and the Department of the Army and the United States Army Reserve Command will not comply with Department of Defense directives and Equal Opportunity policy. My civil liberties as a soldier are being denied to me and I have cooresponded with the senior leadership of the Army and the Department of Defense are no one seems to have the authority to take action despite the law. What is a service member to do?
