Chapter 2 - NONJUDICIAL PUNISHMENT
Section 7-2-21 - Responsibilities after imposition

(a) A commanding officer imposing non-judicial punishment may suspend, mitigate, remit, or set aside that punishment if the commanding officer finds the action is warranted by the circumstances of the case. This power gives the commanding officer an effective means of rehabilitating the offender which is often more valuable than the power to punish. Examples of indorsements to be used in connection with the powers stated in this section are set forth in the exhibit entitled "Annex 8", dated 1 November 1984, located at the end of this subtitle, which is made a part of this section.
