Where can you find a list of offenses that must be reported?

• A. Uniform Code of Military Justice
• B. Naval Regulations
• C. Ships' Organizational and Regulation Manual
• D. Code of Conduct

Answer: (A)

The fundamental source for offenses that must be reported is the Uniform Code of Military Justice. This federal statute defines crimes within the armed forces and sets the procedures for how suspected offenses are reported and handled, making it the authoritative reference for what must be reported and to whom. Other documents—Naval Regulations, which cover broader service rules; Ships' Organizational and Regulation Manual, which is ship-specific guidance; and the Code of Conduct, which outlines behavior for service members in captivity—address different aspects of Navy operations or personal conduct, but they do not provide the comprehensive list of reportable offenses. So, when you need the official list of offenses that must be reported, the Uniform Code of Military Justice is the place to look.
