Under which article can you complain to any superior officer after redress is refused?

• A. 138
• B. 1
• C. 45
• D. 115

Answer: (A)

Grievance escalation through the chain of command is addressed by Article 138. If a service member believes a wrong or unjust action has been done by an officer, they may present a written complaint to the officer who has authority to decide the matter. That officer is required to act on the complaint or forward it for higher review. If redress is refused or the response is unsatisfactory, the matter can be taken to the next higher competent authority for review. This creates a formal path to seek correction through successive levels of command. So, the article that governs complaining to a superior officer after redress is refused is Article 138.
