Article 92 (orders violation) was charged in 42% of cases with charges listed, compared with 18% across the Navy and Marine Corps. The median confinement was 9 months, compared with 6 months service-wide. Based on 20 cases · 2020 · Navy and Marine Corps records · data updated October 24, 2026 ## Orders Violations and Assault Charges are listed for 19 of the 20 cases, and a case with several articles counts under each one. Article 92 (failure to obey order or regulation) appeared in 8 cases (42%), compared with 18% across the Navy and Marine Corps. Article 128 (assault) also appeared in 8 cases (42%), compared with 36%. Article 120 (rape and sexual assault), Article 134 (general article), and Article 120b (rape and sexual assault of a child) each appeared in 4 cases (21%).

Article 80 (attempts) appeared in 1 case (5%), compared with 11%. | UCMJ Article | Cases | Share here | Share, the whole Navy and Marine Corps docket | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------- | | [Art. 128](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/practice-areas/court-martial/article-128/?ref=bodiesburied.com) Assault | 8 | 42% | 36% | | [Art. 92](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/practice-areas/court-martial/article-92/?ref=bodiesburied.com) Failure to obey order or regulation | 8 | 42% | 18% | | [Art. 120](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/ucmj/article-120-sexual-assault/?ref=bodiesburied.com) Rape and sexual assault | 4 | 21% | 16% | | [Art. 134](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/practice-areas/court-martial/article-134/?ref=bodiesburied.com) General article | 4 | 21% | 13% | | [Art. 120b](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/practice-areas/court-martial/article-120b/?ref=bodiesburied.com) Rape and sexual assault of a child | 4 | 21% | 9% | | [Art. 107](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/practice-areas/court-martial/article-107/?ref=bodiesburied.com) False official statements | 3 | 16% | 12% | | [Art. 112a](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/ucmj/article-112a-drug-offenses/?ref=bodiesburied.com) Wrongful use, possession of controlled substances | 3 | 16% | 30% | | [Art. 80](https://www.ucmj-defender.com/practice-areas/court-martial/article-80/?ref=bodiesburied.com) Attempts | 1 | 5% | 11% | ## Confinement Confinement was part of 89% of the 18 convictions. The median confinement was 9 months, compared with 6 months in the rest of the Navy and Marine Corps. A quarter of the sentences with confinement were 2.7 years or longer. These are adjudged sentences. They cover every charge in the case and come before any plea-agreement cap, clemency, or appeal. ## Punitive Discharges A punitive discharge followed 56% of enlisted convictions: 6 bad-conduct discharges and 4 dishonorable discharges. In the rest of the Navy and Marine Corps, the share was 62%. A sentence without a punitive discharge does not rule out a later administrative separation. ## Rank and Court Level Among the accused with rank recorded, 13 were junior enlisted members and 5 were NCOs. No officers were tried. This group is more junior than the Navy and Marine Corps as a whole. General courts-martial heard 9 of the 20 cases (45%), and special courts-martial heard the rest. A general court-martial can impose long confinement and a dishonorable discharge. A special court-martial caps confinement at one year. ## Okinawa and San Diego Okinawa, Japan tried 23 cases and San Diego, California tried 27 in the same year. The median confinement was 4 months at Okinawa and 6 months at San Diego, both shorter than the 9 months at Kaneohe Bay. Punitive discharges for convicted enlisted members were 62% at Okinawa and 48% at San Diego. San Diego had a contested share of 15%. | Installation | Cases | Contested | Full acquittals (decided contested) | Median confinement | Punitive discharge (enlisted) | | ------------------------------------- | ----- | --------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------- | | Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay | 20 | — | — | 9 months | 56% | | Okinawa, Japan | 23 | — | — | 4 months | 62% | | San Diego, California | 27 | 15% | 2 of 4 | 6 months | 48% | ## What the Records Leave Out Navy and Marine Corps records before December 2020 often omit the plea and forum, so this page does not report a contested share for Kaneohe Bay. The records show charges, findings, and sentences. They do not show the evidence, the plea terms, or conduct handled outside a court-martial.
