Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) provides for non-judicial punishment (NJP) and includes three types: Summarized Article 15, which is used for minor offenses and involves limited punishment; Company Grade Article 15, which is applicable for more serious offenses and can be imposed by company-grade officers; and Field Grade Article 15, which can be administered by field-grade officers and allows for more severe penalties. Each type varies in the level of authority required and the potential consequences for the service member.
