Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Regulatory articles are printed on large posters,
which are posted in conspicuous locations aboard
naval units.
Quoted material in plain type is guidance for
commanders, commanding officers, and officers
in charge.
Because the explanation of these regula-
tions is beyond the scope of this book, only
a selected few of the regulatory articles will
be given as examples. Our concern in this
section is with chapter 5, “Regulations,” of
the Standard Organization and Regulations of the
U.S. Navy.
