Company Grade Article 15

A Company Grade Article 15 is a formal disciplinary action in the military, issued by a command officer at the company level. It addresses minor misconduct or violations of military rules. The process includes informing the service member of the charges, providing an opportunity to respond, and then imposing penalties such as extra duty, reduction in rank, or withholding pay. This procedure helps maintain discipline and accountability within the unit while allowing the member a chance to present their side before consequences are enforced.
