Question 28

what is a punitive reduction?

Answer 28

Enlisted Marines above the grade of private may be reduced as punishment due to a court-martial or NJP.

Commanders with NJP authority may reduce Marines from the same grades to which they are authorized to promote. That is to say, the battalion commander may reduce a sergeant or below at office hours. The company commander may not reduce a Marine at office hours because he/she does not have the authority to promote.

The reduction authority for SSgts and above is Marine officers exercising general court-martial convening authority.

A punitive reduction results in loss of time in grade. That is to say, if a Marine is reduced from corporal to lance corporal, his/her new date of rank as a lance corporal would be the date of reduction.

Question 29

Answer 29

The CMC may reduce enlisted Marines to any grade when necessary to reduce the total number of Marines in a particular grade for the purpose of shaping the force. This nonpunitive reduction may occur, for example, during a period of massive strength reductions such as at the end of World War II.

Additionally, the CMC may reduce enlisted Marines for technical or professional incompetence or unacceptable performance of duty.
