The punitive articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) are primarily found in Articles 77 through 134. These articles define various offenses and prescribe the corresponding punishments for military personnel, including crimes such as desertion, insubordination, and conduct unbecoming an officer. Each article outlines specific behaviors that are punishable under military law, reflecting the unique responsibilities and standards expected of service members. The UCMJ aims to maintain discipline and order within the armed forces.
The non-punitive articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) primarily include Articles 15, 16, and 31. Article 15 pertains to non-judicial punishment, allowing commanders to address minor offenses without a formal court-martial. Article 16 deals with the jurisdiction of courts-martial, while Article 31 provides rights against self-incrimination, ensuring that service members are informed of their rights when questioned. These articles aim to maintain discipline while providing certain protections and alternatives to punitive measures.

The UCMJ is the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 91 of this code is directed towards the insubordination toward a warrant officer.
Being late for duty is primarily addressed under Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which pertains to "Absence Without Leave" (AWOL). Specifically, it covers the unauthorized absence of a service member from their appointed place of duty. While being late may not constitute AWOL, repeated instances can lead to disciplinary action under this article or other articles related to conduct and performance. Commanders also have discretion to address tardiness through non-judicial punishment or administrative actions.

Are there articles under the UCMJ that outline deviating from the Chain of Command?
TRUE
The system that applies to soldiers who are not amenable to correction by non-punitive or non-judicial methods is the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Under the UCMJ, military personnel may face court-martial for serious offenses or repeated misconduct. This legal framework provides for formal disciplinary action, including potential confinement, fines, or discharge from service. It is designed to maintain order and discipline within the military ranks.
That will not be an issue these days--local law enforcement WILL tell your chain of command for you. I just went through the punitive articles of the UCMJ...if they were going to charge you with something, Article 134 is about the only thing that covers "failure to notify" (although under Shrub Bush's devastation wreaked upon Article 134, where there are now about a hundred specific crimes in it, that may no longer be the case). However! Since the local authorities are guaranteed to tell the military, expect at minimum a General Officer Letter of Reprimand in your file.
