What behavior is categorized as "drunk on duty" under Article 112?

The behavior categorized as "drunk on duty" under Article 112 is being on duty while under the influence of alcohol. This designation focuses on the condition of the service member while they are performing their duties. Being under the influence affects judgment, physical coordination, and the ability to perform tasks as required by military standards, which can jeopardize safety and operational effectiveness. This definition reflects the serious nature of how alcohol consumption can impair a service member's ability to fulfill their responsibilities.

Other options, while they involve alcohol-related behavior, do not specifically fall under the category of being "drunk on duty." Consuming alcohol during break times does not necessarily mean the individual is impaired while carrying out their duties. Transporting alcohol on military premises may violate regulations but does not indicate active impairment during duty hours. Receiving alcohol gifts during duty may also not reflect immediate impairment or affect the member's performance on duty. Thus, the focus on being on duty while impaired is critical in understanding Article 112.
