Someone should bring it to the attention of his Commanding Officer. It is against military law (UCMJ) and goes against good order and discipline. Behavior such as this will rot a unit.

It is a clear violation of the UCMJ, which falls under Article 134 Adultery and Prostitution. And I think there are other articles he is violating with all the sleeping around.
The only proof you need is for one of the females to come clean, get him to come clean, or something. If you report him, an investigation will start where the Junior Officers will have to find out what is going on. Just make sure you are right, and that he is doing this. Also know you may ruin the careers of these other people in the process. So by taking him down, you could potentially ruin 4 people's career.

A male E-4, sleeping with a female E-4 is not the question. The question is the authority. If he is sleeping with a subordinate he can get in trouble. Say he is a squad leader and she is in his squad then yes, he can get in trouble because even though he is the same rank as her he is still in a position of authority. On the question of "proof" there does have to be some kind of evidence. Just gossip is not enough. Best advice: don't worry about it unless it affects you directly...ie the mission doesn't get done. Other than that dear there is not a whole lot you can do. People will be people no matter where you go or what your occupation is. It sucks sometimes but that is how it is!

Doesnt matter what rank any of these Soldiers are it is adultry.. now as I answered someone elses question about this .. the Army says without vidoe or photos there is no proof but* the accused can always fight the video and photos saying its not them , but if 1 or both parties admit to this yes he/she (both) will be punished under ucmj, now because noone will admit to adultry , and if your the spouse in any of this, talk to all members involved Chain of command , if you are the spouse go to Jag if you want a divorce to get a list of lawyers off post , also Jag can inform you of your rights and your Soldiers.
UCMJ is up the the Commander.
I know all of this because my 2 friends went through the same thing, trust me nothing happen to their cheating husbands (ex now).
Good Luck!

Technically, if he's married, he can get in trouble regardless of rank. However, this happens all the time unfortunately, but it's difficult to prove. Unless someone has witnessed the actual act, and even then it's he-said/she-said. So unless they tell on themselves, or someone has pictures or video or some sort of hard proof, he will probably continue to get away with it.

ever heard of adultery, and yes it is illegal in the armed forces, regardless of rank. I know a female E5 that got caught sleeping with a male O3. She is a E4 now and he has been discharged.

Yes he can and should. You say the unit knows the key point is who in the unit? If his senior personnel, his OIC, SNCOIC or NCOIC and CO/CSM know and are "winking" at it they are as guilty as the individual of violating the UCMJ and service regulations. If it is reported to his Commanding Officer or senior enlisted (CSM/SgtMaj etc) and they do nothing it should be reported to the Provost Marshall or legal personnel above the unit level for investigation.

This is a serious breech of the Code of Conduct. Notify his CO. An investigation will commence and discplinary actions will follow if the charges are true.

Yes he can get in trouble. Adultry is Punishable under the UCMJ. Report him to his first sergeant or OSI. Bring valid proof and he will be dealt with accordngly.
