1
UCMJ OFFENSES ALLEGED AND SUMMARIES (including date and place, but not victim PII)
Rows A-E. For an attempt, conspiracy, or solicitation, list the underlying offense; for an orders violation, name the order. Offenses F and beyond go in item 21. Example: Art. 92 Failure to obey general order or regulation - ASO 5510.15E unreg. weapon on base 1 Jul 21.
2
Accused's election (Article 31 and right to demand trial)
Printed statement: the accused has been advised of and understands Article 31 rights and the right to demand trial by court-martial, and understands that accepting NJP does not preclude other adverse administrative action. The first two options are the form's wording; the vessel option paraphrases the form's dropdown.
I further certify that I ____ been given the opportunity to consult with a military lawyer
Record whether the opportunity was given, not whether the Marine used it.
Accused refused to sign
If checked, the CO signs instead. Without the vessel exception, treat it as a refusal of NJP.
BOOKER STATEMENT
The form generates this from the election: acceptance reads "Having been advised of the above and fully understanding my rights, I choose to accept NJP." A refusal, the vessel exception, or no opportunity to consult counsel produce a "No Booker statement" line instead.
DATE (accused's election) / Signature of accused or CO if refused
3
CO certification of rights advisement: DATE / Signature of CO
The CO certifies the accused was afforded Article 31 rights and advised of the right to demand trial (or that vessel-exception requirements were met). Must precede imposition.

Only for NJP under Articles 85 and/or 86.

Organize the statements, documents, and witnesses the commander will consider. The accused may examine the evidence and present matters in defense, extenuation, and mitigation.
Accused's matters in defense, extenuation, and mitigation (notes)

Draft / worksheet aid. Prepare it here, then transcribe into the electronically signed UPB filed in the Marine's OMPF/E-SRB, with punishments reported by unit diary in MCTFS. This is not an official submission. Check it against the current official NAVMC 10132 (EF) before use.

How to fill out the NAVMC 10132 (EF)

The UPB is the official record of a Marine's non-judicial punishment: the offenses, the Marine's rights advisement and election, the findings, the punishment and any suspension, the appeal, and the final administrative action. The form's own page 3 instructions are now the controlling preparation guide (MARADMIN 427/23). When: Whenever a commander intends to dispose of an offense at NJP (Office Hours). Prepare items 1, 17-20, and 22 first, then have the accused complete item 2 before the hearing.

Step by step

Item 1: list each UCMJ article and a summary with date and place (no victim PII). Leave findings blank.
Item 2: advise the Marine per Article 31 and the JAGMAN; the Marine elects to accept NJP or demand trial (unless attached to or embarked in a vessel) and records whether counsel was offered. If the Marine refuses to sign, check the box; without the vessel exception, a refusal is a refusal of NJP.
Item 3: the CO certifies the rights advisement before imposing NJP.
At the hearing: items 4 (UA/desertion, Art. 85/86 only), 5 (findings G/NG), 6 (punishment and date), 7 (suspension or NONE), 8-9 (NJP authority and signature), 10 and 11 (notice and appeal advisement).
Item 12: the Marine states intent to appeal. Items 13-15 record any appeal and decision.
Item 16: after administrative action (unit diary, OMPF copy verified), the CO or designee signs. Signing item 16 locks the entire form.

What a strong one looks like

Electronic signing locks sections in order: item 2 locks 1, 2, 17-20, 22-25; item 3 locks 1-3; item 9 locks 1-9; item 16 locks everything. Prepare carefully before each signature.
Do not add offenses or victims after the accused signs item 2.
Use the form's abbreviations in items 6 and 7 (restr, red, forf, susp, w/o) and the prescribed Item 21 remark formats.
If no punishment is imposed, destroy the form; it does not go in the record.

Common mistakes

Imposing punishment when the Marine refused NJP and no vessel exception applies. The UPB goes to the officer exercising court-martial jurisdiction instead.
Punishments that exceed the imposing officer's authority or combine unlawfully (MCM Part V, para 5).
Signing item 16 before recording a suspension that may later be vacated; vacations cannot be added to item 21 afterward.
Victim PII in items 1 or 21.
