A list of offenses that must be reported can typically be found in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The UCMJ is the legal framework that governs military law in the United States and provides specific articles that outline various offenses, including those that require reporting and the procedures for military justice.
While Naval Regulations and the Ships' Organizational and Regulation Manual may also include relevant policies and guidance within a naval context, the UCMJ is the primary document that explicitly details the offenses applicable to military personnel. The Code of Conduct provides ethical guidelines rather than specific legal offenses.
For military members, it is essential to be familiar with these regulations and codes for compliance and understanding of their legal obligations.
