With that being said, do you think filling an IG compalint based on waiting something for unreasonable perplexed time works indeed? Does an IG Complaint serve an "urging purpose", similar to "Writ of Mandamus" in civilian judicial system? 2022-02-04T00:10:52-05:00 Private RallyPoint Member 7511588 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It is well known that the only thing you won&#39;t procure ever in military is efficiency, plus they are fond of &quot;Rush and wait&quot; stupid game.

IG isn’t a legal entity and can’t make anyone do anything. They provide recommendations to the commander and it’s the commanders decision whether or not to fix an issues Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 4 at 2022 8:20 AM 2022-02-04T08:20:52-05:00 2022-02-04T08:20:52-05:00 SSgt Christophe Murphy 7512080 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After googling Writ of Mandamus I would have to say it isn&#39;t the same.<br /><br />An IG Complaint initiates an investigation into a claim or accusation. The Inspector General reports directly to the Commanding General and acts as a third party when investigating issues. All findings are reported directly to the Commanding General.

The IG just investigates complaints to see if the problem was outside or against current regulations and policies. The IG advices the Commanding General and then the CG decides whether to do anything and then what actions..

The IG is not a service you have available to you.<br /><br />For a service member (SM), the IG would ask the SM, have you spoken to your chain of command about the issue?, If the answer is not &quot;YES I have in-person spoken to my commander&quot;..the SM is going to be sent back to the unit to address the issue..or if criminality is involved they will be referred to MP&#39;s or CID.<br />-If the IG felt the SM had done what is required the complaint would be taken...regulations, local policy researched and if policies or regulations were followed, the commander would be notified of the complaint and recommendations to explain the situation to the SM in small words, short sentences so they can better understand. <br /><br />- IF policy and regs followed but it appears there is an issue, the commander would be notified and suggested to look into the complaint.<br />-IF policy and regs were NOT followed and it appears there is an issue, the commander would be notified and suggested to look into the complaint.<br />Only a higher-level commander can order a subordinate commander to do something...The IG only makes recommendations <br />- Response by SGM Erik Marquez made Feb 6 at 2022 12:12 PM 2022-02-06T12:12:02-05:00 2022-02-06T12:12:02-05:00 2022-02-04T00:10:52-05:00
