La. Admin. Code tit. 41 § II-401
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Section II-401 - Applicability, GenerallyA. A commanding officer of the organized militia may impose non-judicial punishment for minor offenses upon military personnel of his command under the provisions of LCMJ Article 15. He should distinguish non-judicial punishment from non-punitive disciplinary measures, such as reprimands, administrative reductions, and corrective training. Non-judicial punishment is a disciplinary measure more serious than the administrative corrective measures, but less serious than trial by court-martial. Non-judicial punishment provides commanders with an essential and prompt means of maintaining good order and discipline and also promotes positive behavior changes in service members without the stigma of a court-martial conviction. It is important to note that non-judicial punishment is imposed to correct misconduct which violates the LCMJ.La. Admin. Code tit. 41, § II-401
