A quick definition of captain's mast:

Captain's mast is a type of punishment given by a military commanding officer to an enlisted person who has committed a minor offense. It is not a court-martial. Other types of punishment include physical punishment, imprisonment, and fines. Punishments can be given to deter the offender and others from committing crimes, to prevent the offender from repeating the wrongdoing, to change the character of the offender, or to satisfy the community's sense of justice. Parents can also give negative disciplinary actions to their children.

A more thorough explanation:

Captain's mast is a type of punishment in military law where an enlisted person is punished by their commanding officer for a minor offense. It is a form of nonjudicial punishment.

  • If a soldier is caught sleeping on duty, their commanding officer may give them a captain's mast as punishment.
  • A sailor who is found to have violated a minor rule may also receive a captain's mast.

These examples illustrate how captain's mast is used as a form of punishment for minor offenses in the military. It is not as severe as a court-martial, but it is still a disciplinary action that can affect a person's military career.
