How would a platoon/ section get a E6 transferred. For undo harassment and favoritism toward others?
In the Army. They want to go to the Capt. or transfer out of the platoon/ section? There are at least 4 pvts. Being harrassed, belittled and embarrassed. By the E6?

Take this up the Chain of Command.

Chain of command (1SG or platoon leader), EO representative, SHARP representative, Chaplain ...

First of all, a platoon or section doesn't get an E6 transferred to resolve a problem.

To be fair, you are getting the story second-hand, and one-sided.

You get the PSG, 1SG and CO involved.
The command will determine if there was harassment, misconduct, EO-specific violations, etc.
And they will look at both sides of the story.

Sometimes you really do just have a bad NCO (because someone previous didn't want to be the bad guy to write the bad NCOER that was deserved):
If the SSG is found to be in violation of anything above, then he gets moved out of the position with a relief for cause NCOER, rather than making him someone else's problem.

More often though, you have PVTs that don't like their job or their SL (because they are still adjusting not just to the military and separation from home and family, but also to their first full-time job ever):
If it is determined that this is just a case of not stellar PVTs who just don't like constructive criticism, taskings or corrective training, and are calling that harassment, then they will just need to learn how to Army, or how to count down to their ETS.
This situation can be worse in a squad or platoon where too many E1-E2s showed up at or close to the same time, with too few E4's with experience still there.

Sounds like a "use your chain of command" question.

Look you don't transfer your problems to someone else. Every unit has an open door policy for all leaders- SQL, PSG,1SG,CO, CSM, Bn Cdr. etc. First the need to ta;lk to their PSG. Keep in mind this is 2nd or 3rd hand, and many Pvt's think people are picking on them, because they are getting worked.

Sounds like the old Army to me, but, talk to TOP and get some good advice.
