Which article of the UCMJ is associated with Drunk on Duty?

• A. Article 112
• B. Article 86
• C. Article 87
• D. Article 88

Answer: (A)

Drunk on duty is addressed under Article 112, which covers drunkenness and its effect on conducting duties. This article specifically targets being intoxicated while on duty and the resulting impact on discipline, readiness, and safety. The other articles pertain to different misconduct: absence without leave (not showing up for duty), missing movement (failing to move with a unit), and disrespect toward officials (contempt toward superiors). Since the scenario centers on intoxication while on duty, Article 112 is the best fit.
