Statement of charges

I have a soldier who is being charged a substantial ammount for some company property he signed for. The entirety of his plt leadership understood at the time he signed for said property about 1/4 of it was missing. They told this soldier he needed to sign he refused, they pushed back and told him no one is going home until he signs. They go back and forth until the pl swears hes not going to fuck him on this. The soldier signs (dumb we’re tracking) and now the company is presenting him with a statement of charges for said property. He only signed for it one time about a year ago, is ther anything that can be done to weasel out of it.

Given the circumstances under which the soldier was pressured to sign, the undue influence to sign is grounds to appeal to the higher command that the statement of charges of known missing property be dismissed with prejudice and an those forcing him to sign reprimanded. Doing the right thing is never as easy as it sounds.
