Being late for duty is primarily addressed under Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which pertains to "Absence Without Leave" (AWOL). Specifically, it covers the unauthorized absence of a service member from their appointed place of duty. While being late may not constitute AWOL, repeated instances can lead to disciplinary action under this article or other articles related to conduct and performance. Commanders also have discretion to address tardiness through non-judicial punishment or administrative actions.
