MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. -- A summary of the 341st Missile Wing's recent Courts-Martial and Nonjudicial Punishments: 15 May 2019 - 14 June 2019.
Nonjudicial Punishments
A Staff Sergeant from 841st Missile Security Forces Squadron received Nonjudicial Punishment for assault and failure to obey a general regulation. The member received a reduction in grade to the rank of Senior Airman, suspended forfeiture of $1,332 per month for two months, and a reprimand.
An Airman from 841st Missile Security Forces Squadron received Nonjudicial Punishment for wrongful use of marijuana, wrongful introduction of marijuana onto a military installation, and driving while impaired by marijuana. The member received a reduction in grade to the rank of Airman Basic, suspended forfeiture of $840 of pay per month for two months, and a reprimand.
Nonjudicial punishment is ordinarily appropriate when administrative corrective measures are inadequate due to the nature of the minor offense or the record of the service member, unless it is clear only trial by court-martial will meet the needs of justice and discipline. Nonjudicial punishment shall be considered on an individual basis.
A commander who is considering a case for disposition under nonjudicial punishment will exercise personal discretion in evaluating each case, both as to whether nonjudicial punishment is appropriate, and, if so, as to the nature and amount of punishment appropriate.
