All units or commands with ____ or more billets are required to have a human relations council?

• A. 12 Billets
• B. 22 Billets
• C. 28 Billets
• D. 40 Billets

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is when a command must establish a formal human relations council based on its size, so there’s structured oversight of morale, harassment prevention, equal opportunity, and the command climate. The best answer fits a mid-sized threshold that justifies a dedicated body to handle multiple billets without overburdening smaller commands or creating unnecessary bureaucracy for very large ones. At this size, a council can consistently review concerns, coordinate training, and ensure policy compliance across the command. Smaller units continue with informal processes, while much larger commands would still rely on formal structures but with proportionally scaled processes. The council’s role is to oversee human relations matters, investigations, and training to maintain good order and discipline and fair treatment for all personnel.
