What type of duty is an NCO assigned by an Article 15?

An NCO assigned by an Article 15 is typically given supervisory duty. An Article 15 is a form of non-judicial punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice that involves administrative actions taken on a service member who has committed minor offenses. The nature of these duties usually involves overseeing subordinates, ensuring compliance with military regulations, and handling aspects of discipline within their unit. This supervisory role is integral to maintaining the order and effectiveness of the military unit, as the NCO must watch over those under their command and provide guidance and support following any disciplinary action. In contrast, other types of duties such as administrative, combat, or training are not specifically mandated by an Article 15 and do not inherently imply the supervisory responsibilities that stem from a non-judicial punishment context.
