Article 86 and 91
Article 86 and Article 91 under UCMJ
I am doing an essay on article 86 and 91 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 86—Absence without leave and Article 91—Insubordinate conduct toward warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer I will start out with article 91 section 15 text of statute 2 willfully disobeys the lawful order of a warrant officer , non-commissioned officer, or petty officer. In my essay I will give both facts and opinion on the matter of these articles .In fact in of the case article 91 does not apply in the situation that involves me and fellow NCO’s because in article 91 chapter 15 subparagraph 2, I did not willfully disobey an order . In order to disobey an order the first must be given the order and no order given, there was only an implied task, not a verbal order saying to be at a certain place at a certain time. We were told that the first sergeant was coming to check the NCO’s counseling packets; there was no specified time to show up. In order to willfully disobey an order the accused must know the order in the first place. Now in the case of me and other NCO’s were accused of disobeying a noncommissioned officer if you look at article 91 in elements of section 2(B) states that the accused received a certain lawful order from a certain warrant, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer (C) that the accused then knew that the person was a warrant, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer;(D) the accused had a duty to obey the order and the accused willfully disobeyed the order.
I in fact just from the statement above I did not willfully disobey an order. I have never been late nor have I intentionally disobeyed an order from a senior noncommissioned officer and the only way I would, is if it were immoral, dishonest or dangerous. And from Article 86 reads “(1) Failure to go to appointed place of duty.(a) That a certain authority appointed a certain time and place of duty for the accused (b) That the accused

    Article Eighty-six of the Uniform Code of Military Justice makes it a crime to fail to go to one's appointed place of duty at the time prescribed, to leave one's place of duty, or to be absent from one's unit without authority. Article Eighty-six or Absent Without Leave, states verbatim “Any member of the armed forces who without authority fails to go to his appointed place of duty at the time prescribed; goes from that place; or absents himself or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty at which he is required to be at the time prescribed; shall be punished by court-martial may direct.” Being a certain member appointed for a specific duty at a specific time and place and not showing up or showing up late, whilst knowing of the appointed duty. And without proper authority skipping or showing up late. It is always important to be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Even more so in the Marine Corps. Punishment for violating Article Eighty-six of the UCMJ is left to the discretion of the member's direct chain of command. Whether that be an NCO, Staff NCO, or Officer. The first violation is typically a verbal or written counseling, second a written counseling along with a specific form of deterrence such as: reporting in to the duty NCO every four hours through out the day, even in the members off time. Third violation will usually result in a much harsher punishment such as a Page Eleven, Sixty-one Zero-five, or Nonjudicial Punishment, Court-Martial, and Administrative separation from the service. If taken to Nonjudicial Punishment member could end up losing rank, pay, and be confined to restriction. It is all about accountability. Though normally accountability is an individual responsibility it may become a unit responsibility or the responsibility of a superior to ensure you are where you are supposed to be at the appointed time. Not only will punitive action be taken but your peers will be affected as well. Some may…

    A military member has violated Article 87 if he/she is ordered to be on a ship or an aircraft, or deploy with a unit on a certain date and time, and then fails to show up. It doesn't matter if the member failed to show up through intention or because of neglect, but it is required that the member knew about the movement. A viable defense would be that the member missed the movement through physical inability (as long as that physical inability wasn't a result of misconduct or neglect). The possible punishment is more severe if the member missed the movement on purpose. It's not uncommon for Missing Movement to be charged in conjunction with AWOL or Desertion, depending on the circumstances.…

    Most infractions of the UCMJ can be dealt with by nonjudicial punishment. Nonjudicial punishment is Article 15 of the UCMJ. The authority of commanders to give an Article 15 is found in Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. An Article 15 is considered non-judicial punishment, because it is not a judicial proceeding. Non-judicial punishment is a military justice option available to commanders. It permits commanders to resolve allegations of minor misconduct against a soldier without resorting to higher forms of discipline, such as a court-martial. The commander has complete discretion about whether to impose an Article 15. A soldier may, however, refuse to accept the Article 15 and instead demand trial by court-martial. (Powers, Nonjudicial Punishment)…

    Explaining the tenth section of Article II in the 1987 Constitution would necessitate us to define what is meant by social justice and national development. While D. Miller says that social justice cannot be measured as a single metric, social justice can still be elucidated as the relative distribution of rights, opportunities and resources within a given society, and whether it deserves to be viewed as just. On the other hand, national development is a term highly married to globalization, economic growth and wealth creation.…
