Sec. 720.10  Members released by civil authorities on bail or on their 
own recognizance.

    A member of the Navy or Marine Corps arrested by Federal or State 
authorities and released on bail or on his own recognizance has a duty 
to return to his parent organization. Accordingly, when a member of the 
Navy or Marine Corps is arrested by Federal or State authorities and 
returns to his ship or station on bail, or on his own recognizance, the 
commanding officer, upon verification of the attesting facts, date of 
trial, and approximate length of time that should be covered by the 
absence, shall grant liberty or leave to permit appearance for trial, 
unless this would have a serious negative impact on the command. In the 
event that liberty or leave is not granted, a judge advocate of the Navy 
or Marine Corps should immediately be requested to act as liaison with 
the court. Nothing in this section is to be construed as permitting the 
member arrested and released to avoid the obligations of bond or 
recognizance by reason of the member's being in the military service.
