Military Consultant: The chain of command in your unit is marred by a serious flaw: your soldiers are so fearful of being disciplined for security breaches within their jurisdiction that they fail to report potential problems to their superiors. And those superiors share the same fear of being seen as lacking control of their units that they fail to fully investigate potential problems and bring them up the chain to you. Consequently, General, you’re likely presiding over several security threats that you’ll never know about.

Which of the following is an assumption required by the consultant’s logic.

A. The general is responsible for the culture that exists within his chain of command.
B. All soldiers near the bottom of the chain of command are fearful of being disciplined for security breaches.
C. The general does not have sources other than the chain of command to alert him to security concerns.
D. Some soldiers do not fear authority figures more than they fear genuine security threats.
E. There is not a feasible incentive system to reward soldiers for conscientiously pointing out security concerns.
