The DA Form 2627-1 is the Summarized Record of Proceedings under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Army commanders use this form to impose non-judicial punishment (NJP) on enlisted soldiers for minor offenses. The governing regulation is AR 27-10, Chapter 3.
When Article 15 proceedings begin, the soldier is informed of the alleged misconduct and their rights. The soldier may accept the NJP process or demand a trial by court-martial. If the soldier accepts, the commander may impose punishment within strict limits: up to 14 days of extra duty, up to 14 days of restriction, forfeiture of pay for up to seven days, or an oral reprimand. These caps ensure fairness and proportionality in the proceedings.
After proceedings are complete, the DA 2627-1 is filed in the unit's NJP records for two years from the date of punishment. It is not placed in the soldier's Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). The form also documents the soldier's right to appeal and any action taken on that appeal. This approach reflects the Army's commitment to accountability and due process.
