SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Eighteen Sheppard Airmen received non-judicial punishment in April for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Article 15 of the UCMJ provides an essential and prompt means of maintaining good order and discipline for their units. It is intended to promote positive behavior changes in service members without the stigma of a court-martial conviction.
When a member accepts an Article 15, they are not admitting guilt; rather they are selecting this forum to address their misconduct and allowing the commander to determine whether they are guilty, and if so, what their punishment should be. Below is a summary of the Article 15s that closed out in the month of April.
