A. General. Non-judicial punishment may be imposed by any commanding officer, provided that a superior commander has not restricted or withheld his authority to impose punishment on certain categories of military personnel or offenses (e.g. officers, senior NCO's, drug offenses, etc.) For special rules, see paragraph 4-7 and Figure 4-1.
B. Delegation. The authority given to a commander under Article 15 is an attribute of command and cannot be delegated except as follows:
1. The Adjutant General
may delegate his authority under Article 15 to an Assistant Adjutant
General.
2. The authority delegated
may only be exercised when the delegate is senior in rank to the person
punished. A delegate need not, when acting as a superior authority on an
appeal, be senior in rank to the imposing commander.
3. A delegation of authority shall be in
writing, and unless limited by its terms, the officer to whom this authority is
granted may exercise any power that is possessed by the officer who delegated
the authority.
4. Notification that
the delegation has been terminated should be made in writing.
