How many business days after adjudication of a court-martial must a NAVPERS 1070/887 be submitted to a Service member's official military personnel file?

The requirement for submitting a NAVPERS 1070/887, also known as the Court-Martial Results document, to a Service member’s official military personnel file is set at five business days after the adjudication of a court-martial. This timeline is crucial to ensure that personnel records are kept up-to-date and reflect the most current status of a Service member after judicial proceedings. Timely reporting helps maintain the integrity of military personnel files and ensures that any changes due to court-martial outcomes are promptly documented, which can impact various administrative decisions regarding the Service member's career and benefits. Therefore, adhering to this five-day requirement facilitates accurate record-keeping and supports the overall management of military personnel.

The other options suggest timeframes that do not align with established regulations. A three-day submission may be too rushed and may not allow for proper processing time, while a seven-day or ten-day requirement unnecessarily delays the updating of official records, potentially impacting the Service member’s standing and entitlements.
