One of the Ombudsman Code of Ethics is to work within the chain of command. This means that if you identify a situation that you believe needs to be addressed, you should first go to your command POC or CO. You also have the Ombudsman Coordinator as a resource. If you are dissatisfied with the responses you’ve received, you can go to the Regional Ombudsman Coordinator. The next step would be to ask to have the topic placed on the agenda for the next Regional Advisory Board (ROAB) meeting. From there, if resolution cannot be found, the issue is sent to CNIC HQ for review by the Ombudsman Program Advisory Group (OPAG). This would be a great question to discuss with your CO at your initial interview or meeting so that everyone is clear on procedure.
