What is a UPL's course of action if a soldier exhibits problematic behavior?

A UPL's course of action when a soldier exhibits problematic behavior is to consult with leadership for guidance. This approach is important because problematic behavior may be indicative of underlying issues that could require a more comprehensive response than the UPL alone can provide. Consulting with leadership ensures that the soldier receives appropriate support, which may include counseling, intervention strategies, or other resources that may not be in the UPL's purview.

By engaging leadership, the UPL can access a broader understanding of the situation, consider the soldier's overall well-being, and align with the unit's policies and procedures for addressing such behavior appropriately. It creates an environment where decisions can be made collaboratively and responsibly, reflecting both concern for the soldier and adherence to military standards.
