Chapter 10: Organization, Legal Issues, and Professional Training
1. Legal a. United States Navy Regulations. U.S. Navy Regulations cover those regulations applicable to Commands, Commanding Officers, Officers, and Enlisted personnel. The chapters describe specific responsibilities. Chapter 1 - Statutory Authority for U.S. Navy Regulations Chapter 2 - Department of the Navy (Description) Chapter 3 - Secretary of the Navy (Duties and Authority) Chapter 4 - Chief of Naval Operations (Duties and Authority) Chapter 5 - Commandant of the Marine Corps (Duties and Authority) Chapter 6 - U.S. Coast Guard (Positional Relationship when operating under U.S. Navy) Chapter 7 - Commanders In Chief and Other Commanders (Duties) Chapter 8 - Commanding Officers (Duties and Authority) Chapter 9 - Senior Officer Present (Duties and Authority) Chapter 10 - Precedence, Authority and Command (Authority of Officers, Executive Officers, Department Heads, Non-Commissioned Officers, Petty Officers, Sentries, and junior personnel in relation to other Sailors and other military services) Chapter 11 - General Regulations (Administration of Discipline, Standards of Conduct, Official Records, Duties of Individuals, and Rights and Restrictions) Chapter 12 - Flags, Pennants, Honors, Ceremonies and Customs (Honors to National Anthems and National Ensigns, Hand Salutes and Other Marks of Respect, Gun Salutes, Passing Honors, Official Visits and Calls, Formal Occasions Other Than Official Visits, Display of Flags and Pennants, Special Ceremonies Anniversaries and Solemnities, Deaths and Funerals)
b. Standard Organization and Regulation Manual of the U.S. Navy. The Standard Organization and Regulations of the U.S. Navy (SORM), OPNAVINST 3120.32 , is applicable to all members of the U.S. Navy. Its purpose is to issue regulations and guidance governing the conduct of all members of the U.S. Navy.
c. Jurisdiction. All personnel performing law enforcement work for the Navy in the continental United States or overseas need a basic understanding of the legal concepts of jurisdiction and authority to apprehend. Both of these areas are complex legal subjects, susceptible to change by legislation or court decision. Personnel with specific legal and policy questions should be referred to the local staff judge advocate for 10-1
p. 159
guidance and resolution. Jurisdiction is defined in the judicial sense as the power of a court, military or civilian, to consider a controversy and render a valid judgment. To have such power, a court must have jurisdiction over several areas. The sources of jurisdiction are:
(1) The Constitution. The power of a court-martial to try service persons is contained in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which gives Congress authority to make rules and regulations for the Armed Forces. Article II of the Constitution makes the President of the United States the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. The Congress has exercised its rule-making power by enacting the UCMJ: Title 10, U.S. Code, Sections 801-940. The President has exercised his constitutional power by issuing the Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM). Both the UCMJ and the MCM discuss and define courts- martial jurisdiction.
(2) Federal Statutes. The federal statutes of the United States, as well as the Constitution, are sources of jurisdiction. Article III of the Constitution established the United States Supreme Court and also authorized the Congress, by federal statutes, to establish the lower courts. Magistrate and district courts are established under federal statutes. Military law-enforcement officials will often come into contact with civilian violators of federal law.
(3) Jurisdiction Over the Person. To try a person, a court must have authority “over his person.” Courts-martial normally have no authority or power over civilians. Thus a court martial could not try a civilian, even though his or her conduct might have been criminal and directly detrimental to the military.
(4) Jurisdiction Over the Offense. To try a person for an offense, a court must have jurisdiction over the offense. All courts are limited in the classes of offenses that they may hear and decide. For example, a federal or state civilian court has no authority to try a military person for unauthorized absence from his or her unit. That offense, punishable under Article 86 of the UCMJ, can only be adjudicated by the military.
(5) Jurisdiction Over the Location or Place. The jurisdiction of the courts is also limited by the location or place of the offense. For example, the courts of New York State have no jurisdiction to consider cases involving criminal conduct in the state of Florida. Similarly, the United States 10-2
p. 160
federal civilian courts have no jurisdiction, generally, to try American citizens for offenses committed in another country. Nevertheless, under Article 5 of the UCMJ, a court-martial has jurisdiction to try military personnel for service-connected offenses occurring in “all places.”
(6) Types of Jurisdiction.
(a) Military Jurisdiction. Courts-martial have jurisdiction to try only certain specific classes of personnel as delineated in Article 2 of the UCMJ. The following describes these classes:
1 . Service members on active duty. Article 2(1) of the UCMJ identifies certain active-duty personnel as subject to its jurisdiction.
2 . Reserve members attending drill. Reservists on inactive duty training, usually weekend drills, are subject to UCMJ jurisdiction during drill periods if the orders assigning them to duty so state. The orders of reservists in some branches of the service do not state that the drilling reservist is subject to UCMJ jurisdiction. Specific situations should be referred to a local JAG officer.
3 . Retired persons. Retired members of a Regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay, retired members of the Reserves who are hospitalized by the service, and members of the Fleet Reserve or the Marine Corps Reserve are all subject to UCMJ. This rule continues military jurisdiction over specified categories of retired service members who retain financial or other ties to the armed forces.
(b) Civilian Jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has ruled that civilians are not under court-martial jurisdiction in peacetime despite UCMJ, Article 2(11). That article provides for jurisdiction over “persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the armed forces outside the United States.” Our Government has allowed the trial of civilians under military jurisdiction in time of war. However, the United States Court of Military Appeals has interpreted the term war to include only a war declared by Congress.
(c) Service Connection Issue. Law-enforcement personnel may encounter some offenses that are not purely military crimes. When that happens, they must evaluate the offense to show a connection between the crime and the military 10-3
p. 161
service. If they find no “service-connection,” the military has no jurisdiction, even if the offender is on active duty in the military. Offenses that are not service connected are legal issues that must be referred to the staff judge advocate on a case-by-case basis. The more closely related the crime is to the base, military authority, or military duties, the more apt the courts are to find it a service-connection issue and thus under military jurisdiction. This service-connection jurisdiction problem does not exist when the crime is committed aboard ship or overseas. In addition, even if no court-martial jurisdiction exists because of a lack of service connection, the crime may still be under the jurisdiction of nonjudicial punishment or of local, federal, or state civilian courts.
(d) Jurisdiction Over Federal Offenses. Title 18 of the United States Code delineates the majority of federal crimes. These crimes are generally major felonies. They apply to both civilians and military personnel and are prosecuted in the federal district courts. Offenses prohibited involve a wide range of serious activities, such as mail fraud, kidnapping, and theft of U.S. property.
(e) Investigative Jurisdiction. Base commanding officers, in addition to having the duty of maintaining good order and discipline, have the responsibility of ensuring that neither military nor civilian personnel on base violate federal civilian laws. The Secretary of Defense and the U.S. Attorney General recognize that certain offenses against federal civilian law are also violations against military law. They recognize that the military offender should be prosecuted by a military tribunal after the military investigation. They also recognize that other offenses committed by military personnel or civilians should be investigated by other federal agencies and prosecuted in federal criminal courts. The Manual for Courts-Martial, appendix 3, details investigative jurisdiction.
1 . Major Crimes. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the chief investigative agency tasked with the enforcement of federal criminal laws. Other agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Treasury Department, have investigative jurisdiction over specific crimes. Incidents of actual, suspected or alleged major criminal offenses should be referred to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), which will decide whether the case should be referred to outside federal agencies. If the federal agency does not assume investigative jurisdiction, NCIS will, in most instances, conduct the investigation. 10-4
p. 162
2. Minor Crimes and Traffic Offenses. The majority of naval commands have investigative personnel within their security departments. Such persons are normally limited to investigating minor offenses. Any major criminal offense should be referred immediately to the NCIS. This requirement of referral does not in any way restrict command law enforcement personnel from executing appropriate procedures. Appropriate procedures include preventing the escape or loss of identity of offenders, preserving crime scenes and the integrity of physical evidence, or conducting on-scene inquiries as appropriate. Minor offenses include most misdemeanors and traffic offenses. Both the commanding officer (if the subject is military) and the U.S. magistrates may dispose of these offenses. If criminal prosecution before a U.S. magistrate is appropriate, it is affected by the issuance of a U.S. magistrate’s court violation notice, as set forth in SECNAVINST 5822.1 .
(f) Assimilative Crimes Act. To avoid the task of maintaining a complete code of civilian criminal laws for military bases and other federal property, Congress passed the Assimilative Crimes Act. This statute provides that all acts or omissions occurring in an area under federal jurisdiction that would constitute crimes if the area were under state jurisdiction will constitute the same crimes, similarly punishable, under federal law. For example, Congress has not enacted a traffic code for military bases. However, speeding on a naval base could be a federal traffic violation because military bases adopt for federal use the traffic laws of the state in which they are located.
(g) Territorial Jurisdiction. Military reservations generally are categorized as having either exclusive federal jurisdiction or concurrent federal jurisdiction. The federal government may also hold territory in a status of proprietary interest. Jurisdiction in this context refers to the authority to enact and enforce general criminal laws within a given area. Two or three types of jurisdiction may exist within the same installation. Because parts of a base might have been acquired at different times in different ways, one portion might be under exclusive jurisdiction and the next under concurrent. Law enforcement personnel should consult with their local staff judge advocate concerning the jurisdictional status of all portions of their base.
1 . Exclusive Federal Jurisdiction. Only the federal government has the power to make and enforce federal 10-5
p. 163
laws. Federal laws are enforced through various agencies, including the military. Thus, exclusive federal jurisdiction applies only to areas governed by the specific federal criminal statutes and the statutes of the federal Assimilative Crimes Act. Generally, state laws have neither force nor effect in areas of federal jurisdiction; and local, state, or municipal law enforcement authorities have no authority in such areas.
2 . Concurrent Federal Jurisdiction. Both the federal government and state government (including its county and municipal subdivisions) have authority to make and enforce general municipal laws on the land in question. Thus, a single act could constitute a crime against both the federal and local state law. Both naval authorities and state authorities could, in theory, enforce and prosecute under their respective law. However, they must first seek permission as specified in section 0116 of the Manual of the Judge Advocate General (JAGMAN).
3. Proprietary Jurisdiction. When the federal government has acquired a degree of ownership of a piece of property but has not obtained legislative authority over the area, generally only the state has the power to enforce its laws on the property. The United States has the right, however, as does any landowner or tenant, to protect its property. In addition, state authorities cannot interfere with any valid military activity on such property. A court-martial has jurisdiction over a military member on active duty no matter where the offense is committed; however, coordination between naval and state/local authorities is always recommended first.
(h) Posse Comitatus Act . The Posse Comitatus Act provides that the Army and Air Force cannot be used to execute the laws. DoD Directive 5525.5 of 15 Jan 86 and SECNAVINST 5820.7 have applied the same restrictions to the Navy as a matter of DoD and DON policy. Posse comitatus means the power or force of the county. It authorizes the sheriff to call a posse of citizens to help enforce the law. In the context of this statute and DoD policy, posse comitatus generally means that military personnel cannot be used to enforce civilian laws. This law does not prohibit such individuals from making a citizen’s arrest for a felony or breach of the peace committed in their presence or from issuing citations for appearance before a U.S. magistrate. It also doesn’t prevent them from performing other duties that support the role of the military; for example, protecting government personnel and property.

p. 164
d. Apprehension and Restraint. Because Masters-at-Arms make a large percentage of all apprehensions in the Navy, you should clearly understand the legal meanings of the word apprehension and other terms such as arrest, custody, confinement, and restraint. The authority of Navy law enforcement personnel to enforce military law, orders, and regulations is derived from Title 10, U.S. Code 807, and Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM), Rule 302.
(1) UCMJ Article 7 — Apprehension. Apprehension is the taking of a person into custody. Any person authorized under regulations governing the armed forces to apprehend persons subject to this chapter or to trial there under may do so upon reasonable belief that an offense has been committed and that the person apprehended committed it. Commissioned officers, warrant officers, petty officers, and noncommissioned officers shall have authority to quell quarrels, frays, and disorders among persons subject to this chapter, and to apprehend persons subject to this chapter who take part therein.
(a) Apprehension is defined as taking a person into custody. As you will see later, a person is placed under arrest only on the order of an officer. As a practical matter, the fact that you say, “I’m placing you under arrest” instead of “I’m apprehending you” makes no legal difference. The important point is that the offender must be informed clearly that he or she is being taken into custody. The offender won’t know unless told. The MCM defines custody in part as “restraint of free locomotion, which is imposed by lawful apprehension.” To make the custody clear, you should normally use some indication of physical restraint, such as taking the offender by the arm. This procedure is not always wise, of course, especially if the offender is argumentative or drunk. Use good judgment when using physical restraint. Remember that the purpose of taking a person into custody is only to restrain the violator until proper authority can be notified. Article 7 includes taking custody of any U.S. service member, Navy or otherwise.
(b) Apprehension is the military equivalent of the civilian term arrest. Any officer, warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or other person designated by proper authority to perform guard, police, or criminal investigation duties may apprehend a violator. Custody means restraint of free movement. When an individual is taken into custody, the individual’s movements are controlled by the person or persons who made the apprehension. Physical restraint is the loss of free movement that results from being taken into custody. It 10-7
p. 165
may involve force or may be accomplished by obedience to orders. Even if force is not used, a Master-at-Arms must be able to apply force if needed to effect an apprehension; that is, the MA must be able to restrain forcibly an offender who resists apprehension. The use of force depends on whether or not the offender submits to the apprehension. The procedure for apprehending depends upon its necessity, the manner in which an offender is approached, an evaluation of the facts and circumstances, and the manner in which custody is imposed.
(c) When to Apprehend. Apprehension is made only for probable cause. If facts and circumstances indicate that a person has committed an offense, then an apprehension may be justified. All offenses, however, do not require apprehension. A minor offense or traffic violation may require only an on-the- spot correction, an incident report, or a traffic citation. When to apprehend depends on the facts and circumstances of the offense and your judgment and experience. No two offenders are identical. Officers should not be apprehended except on the orders of another officer or because of the seriousness of the offense. An apprehension is affected when the suspect is told that he or she is being taken into custody. A simple statement such as “You’re under apprehension” or “I’m taking you into custody” is sufficient. The suspect should not have any doubts about his or her status. As the apprehending officer, you may search for weapons to ensure your own safety or search for tools that might enable the suspect to escape. You need not search every area in a room in which a suspect is apprehended; instead, search only that area of the room under the suspect’s immediate control. Thus, the scope of the search depends on the circumstances involved in the apprehension. If circumstances allow, warn a suspect of his or her right against self- incrimination in accordance with Article 31, UCMJ. Although formal interrogations are rarely made at the scene of an apprehension, any confession or admission obtained from the suspect at the scene is inadmissible in court unless the suspect is first warned of his or her rights under Article 31, UCMJ.
(2) Article 9 — Imposition of Restraint. Arrest is the restraint of a person by an order, not imposed as a punishment for an offense, directing him to remain within certain specified limits. Confinement is the physical restraint of a person. An enlisted member may be ordered into arrest or confinement by any commissioned officer by an order, oral or written, delivered in person or through other persons subject to this chapter. A commanding officer may authorize warrant officers, petty officers, or noncommissioned officers to order enlisted members 10-8
p. 166
of his command or subject to his authority into arrest or confinement. A commissioned officer, a warrant officer, or a civilian subject to this chapter or to trial thereunder may be ordered into arrest or confinement only by a commanding officer to whose authority he is subject, by an order, oral or written, delivered in person or by another commissioned officer. The authority to order such persons into arrest or confinement may not be delegated. No person may be ordered into arrest or confinement except for probable cause.
(a) Congress has given the terms apprehension, arrest, and confinement distinct meanings. Apprehension, as you learned from Article 7, is the initial act of taking a person into custody. Once a person is taken into custody, that person may be held under restraint for safekeeping while the charges are disposed of. There are three forms of such restraint. The most severe is confinement — the physical restraint of a person. Next comes the arrest, which is the restraint of a person by an order directing him or her to remain within certain specified limits. The least severe form of restraint for safekeeping is restriction in lieu of arrest, which is also imposed by an order directing the person to remain within certain specified limits. The difference between arrest and restriction in lieu of arrest is that a restricted person performs all regular duties, whereas a person under arrest does not perform full military duties. For this reason, personnel who commit relatively minor offenses are normally put under restriction in lieu of arrest. Confinement, arrest, and restriction in lieu of arrest, when imposed under Article 9, are not forms of punishment. Arrest and restriction in lieu of arrest are similar in one respect: the party is required to stay within specified limits. It is a person’s conscience and the force of law, rather than a strong arm or a barred door, that induce an individual to remain within those limits. A person obeys because of a moral and legal obligation to do so. Confinement before trial is usually not imposed. However, it is imposed if needed to ensure the presence of the accused at the trial, if the offense charged is extremely serious, or if the safety of the public or the accused is in jeopardy.

3. CO’s Mast Procedure. JAGMAN Appendix A-1-e dictates procedures for CO’s Mast.
4. Controlled Substances a. The Federal Controlled Substances Act (FCSA), Title II, of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, is the legal foundation of the government’s fight against abuse of drugs and other substances. This law is a consolidation of numerous laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of narcotics, stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. Drugs may placed on the FCSA by administrative or legislative acts passed by Congress. More recently, in 1988, congress passed the Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act. This Act allows for the regulation of certain chemicals that are used in the making of controlled substances.
b. The FCSA places all substances that are in some manner regulated under existing federal law into one of five schedules. This placement is based upon the substance’s medical use, potential for abuse, and safety or dependence liability. The act also provides a mechanism for substances to be controlled, or added to a schedule; decontrolled, or removed from control; and rescheduled or transferred from one schedule to another. The procedure for these actions is found in Section 201 of the FCSA (21 U.S.C. 811).
c. Proceedings to add, delete, or change the schedule of a drug or other substance may be initiated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), by the DEA, or by petition from any interested person — the manufacturer of a drug, a medical society or association, a pharmacy association, a public interest group concerned with drug abuse, a state or local government agency, or an individual citizen. When a petition is received by the DEA, the agency begins its own investigation of the drug. The agency also may begin an investigation of a drug at any time based upon information received from law enforcement laboratories, state and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies, or other sources of information.
d. The threshold issue is whether the drug or other substance has potential for abuse. If a drug does not have a 10-12
p. 170
potential for abuse, it cannot be controlled. Although the term potential for abuse is not defined in the FCSA, there is much discussion of the term in the legislative history of the act.
e. The following is an example of drugs that can be found on the various schedules: (Note: This list is by NO MEANS exhaustive. A complete listing of controlled substances and drug schedules can be found on the DEA web site at http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/index.htm under Drug Policy.)
