True or False: NJP can be given for all offenses under the UCMJ.

The statement that NJP (Non-Judicial Punishment) can be given for all offenses under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) is false. NJP is a form of disciplinary action that can be utilized for minor offenses, allowing commanders to address misconduct without resorting to courts-martial. However, there are limitations on the types of offenses that can be adjudicated through NJP.

Serious offenses, particularly those that are classified as capital offenses or more severe violations, typically require a court-martial due to the potential for harsher punishments, which NJP cannot impose. This includes serious crimes such as murder, rape, and certain other Felony grade offenses. Therefore, NJP is not applicable to all UCMJ offenses, confirming that the correct answer is indeed false.

This understanding helps reinforce the importance of distinguishing between different levels of misconduct in the military justice system, emphasizing the procedural and punitive differences that apply based on the severity of the offense.
