L226/OCT 03/VGT- Commanders need credible information other than harassment to investigate a soldier for homosexual conduct. HARASSMENT ALONE IS NOT CREDIBLE INFORMATION. Absent credible information, an investigation into a complaint or either harassment or of a threat must focus on the harassment or threat, ONLY. Credible information discovered during the course of an investigation does NOT stop the requirement to properly dispose of allegations of harassment. Anti-Harassment Policy (cont) L226/OCT 03/VGT- The command cannot make harassment stop if it is not reported. Commanders must adequately address reported instances of harassment. The focus of any investigation into alleged harassment must be on the soldier(s) committing the harassment.

When conducting the investigation, a commander can request the assistance of either MPI or CID. Anti-Harassment Policy (cont)
