What type of duty can an NCO receive from an Article 15?

An NCO can receive supervisory duty from an Article 15 action. Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) allows for non-judicial punishment, which can be administered by a commanding officer. One of the potential consequences of receiving an Article 15 might involve a reassignment to a supervisory role, which is intended to reinforce discipline and accountability within the ranks.

Choosing supervisory duty as a result of an Article 15 reflects the emphasis on maintaining leadership roles within the unit while addressing the individual’s misconduct. This form of punishment is aimed at enhancing a soldier's responsibility rather than removing them from a leadership position entirely, assuming the context of their actions allows for continued leadership.
