What is the maximum time frame for publishing the name, rate, offense, and disposition of an offender following NJP?

The maximum time frame for publishing the name, rate, offense, and disposition of an offender following Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) is set to one month. This timeframe is specified in Navy instructions to ensure transparency and public awareness while maintaining operational security and the dignity of personnel involved. By requiring publication within one month, the Navy balances the need for accountability and reporting with the rights of individuals to have their cases processed in a timely and fair manner. This ensures that the information is relevant and recent, which promotes trust within the service while providing an opportunity for the affected individuals to address any consequences related to their actions.
