REGULATIONS

Because United States Navy Regulations, 1990, is readily available at most commands (all MA units should have a copy), the regulatory articles will only be touched upon and excerpts displayed in this manual.

Inspection, Muster, and Sighting of Personnel

The commanding officer should hold periodic inspections of the material of the command, not on weekends or holidays, to determine deficiencies and cleanliness. When the size of the command prevents completion of the inspection in a reasonable time, the commanding officer (CO) should designate zones to be inspected by heads of departments or other responsible officers and should personally inspect at least one zone, alternating the zone(s) so that the entire command will be inspected at minimum intervals.

The CO should make sure, consistent with their employment, the personnel under his or her command present at all times a neat, clean, and military appearance. To assist in attaining this standard of appearance, the CO should, in the absence of operational commitments, hold periodic personnel inspections. Saturday inspections may be held at sea and in port and ashore, with personnel in duty status as participants. Otherwise, inspections should not be held on weekends or holidays.

Quarters or formations are for the purpose of ceremony, inspection, muster, instruction, or passing of orders and should be reserved for those occasions when such purpose cannot otherwise be achieved.

The prohibitions concerning weekend or holiday inspections do not apply to commands engaged in training reservists and to other commands with the consent of a superior.

The CO should require a daily report of all persons confined, a statement of their offenses, and the dates of their confinement and release.

The presence of all persons attached to the command should be accounted for daily. Persons who have not been sighted by a responsible senior will be reported absent.

Unauthorized Persons on Board

The CO will make sure that there is no unauthorized person on board before proceeding to sea or commencing a flight

Control of Passengers

Control of passage in and protracted visits to aircraft and ships of the Navy by all persons, within or without the Department of the Navy, will be exercised by the CNO.

This should not be interpreted as prohibiting the senior officer present from authorizing the passage in ships and aircraft of the Navy by such persons deemed necessary in the public interest or in the interest of humanity.

Relations With Organizations and Military Personnel Embarked for Passage

Personnel of the naval service, other United States armed forces or services, and foreign armed forces are subject to the orders of the CO of the ship or aircraft commander. The provisions of this article should be applied to organizations and personnel of foreign armed forces, insofar as is feasible, with regard for their customs and traditions.

The CO of the ship or the aircraft commander should respect the identity and integrity of organizational units; and

The CO should require that personnel wear the uniform that corresponds as nearly as possible to the uniform prescribed for ship's company.

The CO has the power and authority to order an offender placed in naval or military custody as considered desirable, but in all cases where the offender is to be disembarked for disciplinary action by military authority, the offender should be placed in military custody on board the ship or aircraft, if possible.

When an organized unit is embarked for transportation only in a ship of the Navy, the officer in command of such organized unit should retain the authority over such unit before embarkation, including the power to order special or summary courts-martial upon enlisted persons under his or her command; but nothing in this paragraph will impair the authority of the CO of the ship over all persons embarked therein.

Persons Found Under Incriminating Circumstances

The CO should keep under restraint or surveillance, as necessary, any person not in the armed services of the United States who is found under incriminating or irregular circumstances within the command and should immediately start an investigation.

Should an investigation indicate that such person is not a fugitive from justice or has not committed or attempted to commit an offense, that person should be released at the earliest opportunity, except as follows: of release is under the jurisdiction of the United States, the nearest federal immigration authorities should be notified as to the time and place of release sufficiently in advance to permit them to take such steps as they deem appropriate. . If not a citizen of the United States, and the place . Such persons should not be released in territory

not under the jurisdiction of the United States without first obtaining the consent of the proper foreign authorities, except where the investigation shows that he or she entered the command from a territory of the foreign state, or is a citizen or subject of that state.

If the investigation indicates that such person has committed or attempted to commit an offense punishable under the authority of the CO, the latter should take such action as deemed necessary.

If the investigation indicates that such a person is a fugitive from justice, or has committed or attempted to commit an offense that requires actions beyond the authority of the CO, that person should be delivered to the proper civil authorities at the first opportunity, with full descriptive data, fingerprints, and a statement of the circumstances.
