Accountability & DCS/LoR Policy for Missing Squad/Section Practice and Posting Roll Call

The following is the procedure for completing and filing Counseling Statements for missing section practice or not signing roll-call within 2nd Battalion.

Accountability

Please see, follow, and enforce this Regimental SOP:

  1. Failure to attend section practice, sign roll-call, or be excused will result in a Developmental Counseling Statement (DCS). A second miss in a 30-day period will result in an Letter of Reprimand (LoR).
  2. Two Letters of Reprimand within a 60-day period for missing section practice, roll-call, or both will result in a disciplinary meeting with Battalion Staff where the possible consequences are:
    • Transfer out of Squad/Section
    • Another LoR
    • Dismissal from the unit
      • Please note: Troopers will have 72 hours to meet with Battalion Staff, and failure to do so will result in a Less than Honorable Discharge (Eligible for Re-enlistment) from the unit.
    • Platoon Staff are responsible for sending accountability DCSs and LoRs. They also conduct the verbal sit-down in Discord with the trooper when appropriate.

Developmental Counseling Statement Procedure

When a trooper fails to sign roll-call and/or is unaccounted for at section practice for a given week, the Platoon Staff will do the following:

  • By Monday 0700 Zulu (0300) (Sunday, Midnight Pacific) the week following, send a DCS PM in accordance with the Regimental Developmental Counseling Statement SOP. This PM will be addressed to the trooper, the Assistant Section Leader, the Section Leader, the Platoon Sergeant, the Platoon Leader, the Company First Sergeant, the Company XO, and the Company Commander.
  • No further action is required unless the trooper would like to meet Platoon Staff to discuss the issue.

Letter of Reprimand Procedure

When a trooper fails to solve the problem after a DCS and within the appropriate time periods, the Platoon Staff will do the following:

  • By Monday 0700 Zulu (0300) (Sunday, Midnight Pacific) the week following, send a LoR PM. This PM will be addressed to the trooper, the Assistant Section Leader, the Section Leader, the Platoon Sergeant, the Platoon Leader, the Company First Sergeant, the Company XO, and the Company Commander.
  • The Platoon Staff should file an LoR .pdf, fill out Section I & II of the LoR pdf, file it in their Platoon Google Drive, and add the pdf link to the LoR PM.
  • The Platoon Staff should meet with the trooper if the trooper would like to discuss it further, otherwise no further action is required by the Platoon Staff.
  • The Company Commander should fill out Section III of the LoR .pdf, file the LoR in their Company Google Drive, and add the new .pdf link to the LoR PM. The Company Commander should then add S1 Command Staff for processing on the trooper's MILPAC, as well as Battalion Staff for notification.
  • If it's a 2nd LoR, the Company Commander will notify Battalion Staff a disciplinary meeting is required in the same LoR PM.

Format for Titling of Counseling PMs

For missing SP or not signing Roll Call (accountability violations):

Counseling Type - Last Name.First Initial - End date for the Roll Call week (always a Friday)

Example:

DCS - Claxton.P - 26OCT19

For all other non-accountability violations:

Counseling Type - Last Name.First Initial - Date of counseling

Example:

DCS - Schultz.S - 25AUG19

This formatting will make it easier to keep track of the paperwork in the 7Cav Forum Inbox.
