How do I find out who someone's comanding officer is? I've been badly mistreated by an active duty army soldier and everyone tells me to tell his commanding officer right away... but how do I know who his comanding officer is?

How badly is "badly treated"? You don't provide any details, but bear in mind that the commander does not want to hear about your sad love life.
If necessary, contact the police. Otherwise, just leave him alone, tell him to leave you alone, and choose your friends with a little more care next time.
NOTE: You're sounding like the kind of person that would get a soldier to volunteer for a second tour in Ramadi, just to get away from you.

Aubrey:
Generally speaking Commanders and First Sergeants are not in the business you think they are in. If you know the unit the individual is assigned to you can write the "Commanding Officer" then the unit and so forth. Just like you would write to the guy but change the name on the envelope as I indicated.
Depending on what this guy did you would probably be better off contacting the local law enforcement. If it isn't punishable under the law, the CO and the Shirt probably won't be much help.
Sorry but I used to get calls from women who had their hearts broken, were stood up or some guy got in their pants and they thought that as a Senior NCO I could or would make the man's life miserable. It just isn't the way it works anymore and frankly I am glad.
When I first entered the service the squad leader was responsible if I had a car accident. It was ridiculous.

If I had a nickel for every woman who's called looking for so-and-so's commander or so-and-so's supervisor...
If a crime's been committed, contact the police. If your complaint has any merit, it will make it's way through proper channels and be dealt with.

Ma'am, anyone can claim anything on Yahoo. A sad story in itself does not impress.
If your spouse is indeed Army you should already have his unit contact information. At the very least you have his SSAN. Get in touch with the legal office at the post where he's stationed or whatever base is nearest and most convenient to you. If you are in fact married and there's a child who's a military dependent, the member is legally obligated to support you and there are people who WILL make that happen. Alternatively, you could go high order and contact your Senator or Representative.
However, if he's a doper he's going to be on his way out real quick anyway so don't count on much long term gain.

if he is your husband then why dont you know who his commanding officer is? do you even kno wthe number to his unit? the name of his unit? thata where you start. call the barracks, or the office of his unit and ask them to transfer you to the commanding officer! or if they wont then ask for his secretary or office number! or better yet, call the csm...really get crap stirred up! and you can also go to the chaplain and tell him whats going on and tell him your problems is causing a severe financial hardship and i guarantee you it will be addressed fast! use the words FINANCIAL HARDSHIP!

To find out the name of a soldier's commanding officer, you must first know the name of the company, troop, or battery that soldier is serving in.
Second, just call the installation directory and ask for the phone number for that company, troop, or battery headquarters. The phone will most likely be answered by the non-commissioned officer who is on "charge of quarters" or "CQ" that day. He or she will provide you with the name of the commander and give you info on how to get ahold of him.
Best of Luck
Staff Sergeant Dan

If he committed a crime, you need to go to the police. His commander probably won't entertain your story if it doesn't come with an official police report. Otherwise, it is just heresay and he probably will not act on heresay without further evidence.
His commander will probably try to stick up for his guy and how would he know you are being honest and not just a spurned lover or friend. You need to go through official channels which for you as a civilian involves local law enforcement.

I agree and one more thing get a PPO ( personal protection order) and he'll leave you alone because he'll be served by the MP's and the civilian police. His commander will be notified.

Be sure you are in the right, if you are doing this just to get even with him it could back-fire on you.
And now we have more of the story, Contact legal on the base show them the paper work on any support and you will get it taken care of really fast! The drug use if it is found to be real will prob get him kicked out pronto, so you will be back in the same boat with no support coming in. Good Luck

Like they said earlier, it really depends on what your definition of being treated "badly" is. If this soldier did something to you that is against the law, you need to go to the police. Once the police are involved, they contact the MP's, who contact the unit. This is the best way to go about things. If he didn't call after a date or something like that, don't call the CO about that.

Depends on the incident, (if it was serious enough) if it happened off post report it to the police. If it was on post contact the MP's. (Military Police).
If not that serious you can call post information and get a hold of his unit (if you know it) and they can give you the phone number.
Regardless it is kind of hard to give more info without the whole story.

You don't go directly to his commanding officer. If you're not married and you're a civilian, go to the police. If you're married, contact your FRG and they'll help you get a hold of Family Services. If he was a civilian and he mistreated you would you go to his boss at Best Buy or wherever and try to get him fired??
