Disrespect of an Nco and Disobeying a Direct Order
The effects of disrespect of a non commissioned officer and the effects of disobeying a direct order.
On 25 of August 2011, I accompanied SGT Williams off post. Although it seems to be nothing at all by that statement. The consequences of that night and the things I should have done are possibly going to cost a good NCO his career, and landed me in this punishment. Before I get in to the actual circumstances of this incident I want to cover my references Article 92 and article 89 of the UCMJ.
First what is UCMJ? The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is the base of military law. The UCMJ is a federal law, enacted by Congress in1950. The UCMJ was based upon and replaced the Articles of War. Which had been in various forms since 1775. Articles 77 through 134 of the UCMJ are known as the "punitive articles,". Specific offenses which can result in punishment by a court-martial. The law requires the Commander-in-Chief (The President of the United States) to implement the rules of the UCMJ. The President accomplishes this by an executive order known as the Manual for Court Martial or MCM. Chapter 4 of the MCM covers , and expands on the punitive articles. The MCM divides the punitive articles into six parts: The text, elements of the offense, an explanation, lesser included offenses, maximum permissible punishments, and sample specifications.
To facilitate order and discipline society as a whole need laws. The military no matter what branch of service and or job is no different. The military has a special set of rule and regulations separate for khedivial laws that we also have to fallow. These are specific to laws of war, conduct, discipline area s that hold the military to a higher standard of professional conduct that is needed to perform the task at hand. Some of the things that are not illegal in regular sociality that are highly frowned upon are illegal my the standers that we as soldiers live by. Although UCMJ is just one of the tools used to
