Commander
Discipline And Records reference for battalion and squadron commanders. Authority-anchored policy summaries and signing actions.
Discipline and Records Overview
Six interlocking discipline and records areas: NJP under Article 15, Page 11 administrative entries, courts-martial via convening authority, command investigations, UPB and SRB records management, and the OSTC overlap constraining all of them. This page indexes the topic and frames the relationship between the pieces.
NJP Routing and Commander Authority
Commander authority on Non-Judicial Punishment under Article 15 UCMJ. Pre-mast preparation, mast conduct, post-mast routing, and the impact on member pay and records.
Page 11 Entries - Commander Authority
Page 11 of the Service Record Book (SRB) is the administrative record for adverse and counseling entries. The CO directs entry, signs significant items, and reviews routing through S-1 and IPAC. This page covers what goes on Page 11, what does not, and the rights chain for the Marine.
Convening Authority and Courts-Martial
Three levels of court-martial (Summary, Special, General) and the convening authority chain. Pre-trial confinement under RCM 305, referral decisions under RCM 401, convening authority action under RCM 1109, and the OSTC overlap on covered offenses.
Command Investigations
JAGMAN investigations under JAGINST 5800.7G are the procedural framework for command-directed fact-finding. Three categories: Preliminary Inquiry, Command Investigation, and Litigation Report Investigation. Each has specific appointment, conduct, and reporting requirements. This page covers when to use each, how to appoint, and how to act on findings.
UPB and SRB Records Management
The Unit Punishment Book (NAVMC 10132) is the unit-level discipline record. The Service Record Book is the Marine's local record. The OMPF is the permanent HQMC record. Each has its own retention, signature, and integrity rules. This page covers the records substrate underneath every disciplinary action.
