Article 15

Read a random definition: representative action

A quick definition of Article 15:

Article 15 is a type of punishment that can be given to someone who has broken the rules in the military. It is not a court trial, but rather a punishment given by a commanding officer. Other types of punishment include physical punishment, like hitting or whipping, and punishment that is meant to change the person's behavior or character. Punishment that is too harsh or cruel is not allowed, and the goal of punishment is to deter people from breaking the rules and to protect others from harm.

A more thorough explanation:

Article 15 is a type of nonjudicial punishment used in military law. It is a procedure where a commanding officer can punish a minor offender who has violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

For example, if a soldier is caught breaking a minor rule, such as being late for duty, their commanding officer may choose to give them Article 15 punishment instead of taking them to court-martial. This punishment can include things like extra duty, loss of pay, or even confinement.

Nonjudicial punishment is not the same as a court-martial, which is a more serious legal proceeding. Article 15 is a way for the military to handle minor offenses quickly and efficiently.
