Article 15 non-judicial punishments are also called &#8220;15s&#8221;, &#8220;NJPs,&#8221; &#8220;Articles,&#8221; and &#8220;Captain\u2019s masts&#8221;).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Article 15 is an offer of forum, where the offering commander is offering the member a choice of forum: to handle the punishment at that commander&#8217;s level. If a member accepts an Article 15, only the forum is being accepted, the member can still respond and argue that the alleged offense was not committed. The member also has a right to instead demand trial by court-martial. This is calling &#8220;turning down&#8221; the Article 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before turning down an Article 15, the member needs to truly understand the risks of doing so. Veritas Military Law has advised servicemembers, commanders, and lawyers about offering and responding to NJPs for truly minor offenses through offenses normally handled at serious general courts-martial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/veritasmilitarylaw.com\/staging\/9222\/contact-veritas-military-law\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">Contact Veritas Military Law for Article 15 Advice<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sample Successes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\" style=\"min-height:155px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-1131 size-large\" alt=\"Commander, Naval Medical Forces Support Command joined by commanding officer, Navy Medical Research Unit San Antonio and Sailors and Coast Guardsmen representing the Sea Services wave to the crowd during the Texas Cavaliers Fiesta River Parade June 21, 2021, San Antonio, Texas.
