An Army Warrant Officer at Schofield Barracks faced an AR 15-6 Investigation for fraternization, which is a formal fact-finding inquiry used by the Army to investigate allegations of wrongdoing. The Warrant Officer retained Tim Bilecki to investigate the allegations and defend his ability to remain in the Army.
Bilecki investigated the fraternization allegation and challenged the case against the Warrant Officer. Despite these efforts, the AR 15-6 Investigating Officer concluded there was substantial evidence of an inappropriate, likely sexual relationship between the Warrant Officer and a junior Soldier, leading to the substantiation of the allegations.
The case was then referred to the command, where the Commanding General had the authority to decide on disciplinary actions. The General issued a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR), a formal military reprimand that can significantly impact an officer’s career.
Bilecki answered the GOMOR with a rebuttal emphasizing the Warrant Officer’s prior exemplary service and urging the command to consider that record before taking further action against him.
The GOMOR was filed permanently. The case did not go to an officer show-cause board, and the Warrant Officer remained in service.
