What cases does the NC&PB have jurisdiction over?
NC&PB has jurisdiction over all cases where the offender was subject to the authority of SECNAV at the time of the offense and who were convicted by court-martial. The NC&PB must review all cases where the offender received a sentence to confinement of one year or more, unless the review is waived by the offender. NC&PB cases include Navy officer and enlisted members, Marine Corps officer and enlisted members, both active duty and reserve. The Board assumes similar authority over Coast Guard officer and enlisted members. The NC&PB can consider other Naval Service offenders for clemency if the offender request a review in writing.
