What are the potential consequences for violating EO or SHARP policies?

The correct choice is disciplinary actions, including counseling and reprimands, as it directly reflects the formal consequences that personnel may face for violating Equal Opportunity (EO) or Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) policies. These actions serve both as a corrective measure and a deterrent against future violations.

Disciplinary actions can vary in severity depending on the nature of the violation. Counseling may involve discussions aimed at correcting behavior and ensuring understanding of the policies, while reprimands could be more formal and documented as part of the individual’s record. This structured approach reinforces the importance of adhering to EO and SHARP policies within the Army, emphasizing that violations are taken seriously and will lead to consequences.

Promotion delays and transfers to another unit are not standard or guaranteed consequences for policy violations; they may occur in some situations but are not universally applied. Fines and penalties are more typical in civilian legal contexts rather than military personnel actions under EO and SHARP. Thus, the focus on disciplinary actions highlights the Army's commitment to maintaining a respectful and safe environment, ensuring personnel are held accountable for their behavior in alignment with established policies.
