Sexual harassment policy defines sexual harassment as what?

• A. A form of gender discrimination involving unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and the verbal or physical conduct
• B. A violation of UCMJ only
• C. A matter of personal preference
• D. Only applies to dating relationships

Answer: (B)

Main concept: In the military, sexual harassment is treated as a matter of military justice, enforced through the Uniform Code of Military Justice. That framing means the conduct is punishable under UCMJ procedures, with formal investigation and discipline as the consequence. This emphasis on the UCMJ makes the option that describes sexual harassment as a UCMJ violation the most consistent with how service members are held accountable. The other descriptions describe aspects like personal preference or private dating dynamics, which don’t reflect how the military handles misconduct through its legal system.
