Military command investigations—AR 15-6 probes, commander’s inquiries, and command-directed reviews—are triggered by more than minor issues. Allegations of sexual harassment, fraternization, adultery, toxic leadership, EO complaints, fraud, waste and abuse, travel card misuse, security violations, and social media misconduct can start an investigation. Gonzalez & Waddington warns these can escalate to GOMORs, Article 15s, or courts-martial. Call 1-800-921-8607. Educational, not legal advice.
Quick answers
Can an EO or toxic leadership complaint start a command investigation?
Yes. EO complaints, toxic leadership allegations, and command climate follow-ups commonly trigger AR 15-6 investigations or commander’s inquiries and can lead to reprimands or separation action.
Can travel card abuse or social media posts become more than an inquiry?
Yes. Fraud, waste, resource misuse, security violations, and social media misconduct often start as command investigations and can escalate to GOMORs, Article 15s, or courts-martial.
