I suffered military insubordination; what happens if I report it?

I am a 21-year-old soldier currently serving in the military. I cannot reveal the name or specific location of the unit, but it is a regular Army infantry unit. Recently, Corporal A in our platoon has been swearing at Sergeant B as a matter of course, has been slapping him, and has even pushed him down simply because he was in a bad mood. I am afraid that if I report this insubordination, I too may suffer harm. If I report this kind of military insubordination, will Corporal A definitely be punished?

Navy sexual assault. I am at risk of punishment. Please help me.

I am a career soldier serving in the Navy. Recently, while drinking with friends, I went to a motel with a woman who had joined our table. We clearly went by mutual agreement, and the sexual relations also occurred naturally, but suddenly the next day she said she would file a complaint for sexual assault. She also said that if I gave her 30 million won as a settlement, she would not file a complaint. Thinking she was an extortionist, I ignored her and left, but she really did file a complaint. If I am charged with Navy sexual assault, what would the punishment be? Can I not file a complaint against this for the crime of false accusation?
