NJP requirements are associated with which Coast Guard office?

• A. Office of the Judge Advocate General
• B. Office of Public Affairs
• C. Office of Personnel Management
• D. Training Command

Answer: (B)

Non-Judicial Punishment is a legal process under military justice, so its requirements are set by the Coast Guard’s legal office. The Office of the Judge Advocate General provides the policy, guidance, and oversight for NJP, shaping how it’s administered and what rules apply. Public Affairs focuses on communications with the public and internal messaging, not disciplinary policy. The Office of Personnel Management handles civilian personnel policy across agencies, and Training Command focuses on education and readiness, not NJP procedures. So NJP requirements belong with the Office of the Judge Advocate General.
