Failure to comply with the provisions of the regulatory material in chapter 5 of the SORN is punishable in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice ( UCMJ). Regulatory articles are printed on large posters, which are posted in conspicuous locations aboard naval units. When the article itself is self-explanatory, the article is presented in block quotation exactly as stated in the SORN; no further explanation is given.   Articles that are lengthy and, in some cases, difficult to interpret are paraphrased to give you a brief overview of the contents of the article. UNIT ADMINISTRATION Chapter 1 covers the administration of a unit and the limits of authority of personnel in management positions. It also discusses organizational theory and defines terms such as unity  of  command,  span  of  control,  and leadership. 100.1 Relationship to Other Guidance The SORN issues regulations and standard organizational requirements applicable to the administration of naval units. Type commanders or higher authority issues additional requirements to supplement the Navywide guidance provided by the SORN. Guidance is intended to assist commanding officers in administering their unit in the best possible manner. 142.2 Policy Guidance The guidance provided by the SORN helps the Navy set policies consistently. A complete policy statement concerning the following items is beyond the scope of this text. You should consult the SORN for specific details. The following is a brief look at Navy policies covered by the SORN; consult the SORN for specific details about each policy: EXTRA MILITARY INSTRUCTION (EMI) — This is instruction intended to correct a deficiency of a person in a phase of military duty. General guidelines are as follows: EMI will not normally be assigned for more than 2 hours per day. EMI maybe assigned at a reasonable time outside of normal working hours. EMI will not be conducted over a period that is longer than necessary to correct the performance   deficiency. EMI should not be conducted on a members sabbath. EMI will not be used as a method of depriving normal liberty. Normal liberty may commence upon completion of EMI. The authority to assign EMI rests with the commanding officer. Normally, you may assign EMI during working hours if the commanding officer delegates the authority. However, the commanding officer usually chooses not to delegate the authority to assign EMI after working hours;   that limits your actions to recommending EMI. Refer to the SORN and your command regulations regarding assignment of EMI. WITHHOLDING OF PRIVILEGES —Tem- porary withholding of privileges is authorized as an administrative measure to correct minor infractions of military regulations or performance deficiencies when punitive action is deemed in- appropriate. Privileges that may be temporarily withheld include special liberty, exchange of duty, special pay, special command programs, bases or ship libraries and movies, command parking, and special services events. PRIVILEGES CAN ONLY BE TEMPO- RARILY WITHHELD BY THE PERSON WITH THE AUTHORITY TO GRANT THE PRIVI- LEGE —Your action should normally be limited to a recommendation to the chain of command to temporarily withhold a privilege. For further guidance, consult the SORN and local regulations concerning withholding of privileges. EXTENSION OF WORKING HOURS — Deprivation of normal liberty as punishment except as specifically authorized by the UCMJ is illegal. However, lawful deprivation of normal liberty is authorized in certain situations such as pretrial restraint or in a foreign country when such action is deemed necessary. Working hours may be extended for official functions, accomplish- ment of essential work, or the achievement of the currently required level of operational readiness. 2-14
