TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE,Calif. --  Law and Order is a monthly feature detailing the previous month's military justice matters at Travis. Publicizing this information fosters an atmosphere of good order and discipline by demonstrating how the military enforces standards of conduct. This feature also serves to educate and inform the public concerning military law and the military justice system.

Nonjudicial punishment
Nonjudicial punishment under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice, is described in Military Commander and the Law as an essential and prompt means for commanders to maintain good order and discipline and also promote positive behavior changes in servicemembers without the stigma of a court-martial conviction.
