The following questions and answers may resolve your issue.
Can I confine a servicemember for "safekeeping", "protective custody", or without charges listed on the confinement order?
No. IAW SECNVAV M-1640.1, personnel cannot be confined for "safekeeping" or "protective custody". Additionally, the confinement order must clearly identify the individual to be confined and show the offense(s) of which accused or convicted.
For out of state confinements - if we do not have the uniforms, how long do we have to bring them in?
