Sec. 720.2  Delivery when persons are within the territorial limits 
of the requesting State.

    When the delivery of any member or civilian is requested by local 
civil authorities of a State for an offense punishable under the laws of 
that jurisdiction, and such person is located at a Navy or Marine Corps 
installation within the requesting jurisdiction, or aboard a ship within 
the territorial waters of such jurisdiction, commanding officers are 
authorized to and normally will deliver such person when a proper 
warrant is issued. In the case of a member, delivery will only be 
effected upon compliance with Sec. 720.6, subject to the exceptions in 
Sec. 720.9. A judge advocate of the Navy or Marine Corps should be 
consulted before delivery is effected. The rule discussed above applies 
equally to civilian employees and civilian contractors and their 
employees when located on a Navy or Marine Corps installation, except 
that compliance with Sec. 720.6 and consideration of Sec. 720.9 are 
not required (for purposes of this part, ``State'' includes the District 
of Columbia, territories, commonwealths, and all possessions or 
protectorates of the United States). Commands should normally not become 
actively involved in civilian law enforcement. When a command has 
determined that a person is to be delivered in response to a valid 
warrant, the following guidance should be considered. If the person to 
be delivered is a military member, the member may be ordered to report 
to a location designated by the commanding officer and surrendered to 
civil authorities under Article 14, UCMJ (10 U.S.C. 814). If the person 
to be delivered is a civilian, the person may be invited to report to 
the designated space for delivery. If the civilian refuses, the civilian 
authorities may be escorted to a place where the civilian is located in 
order that delivery may be effected. A civilian may be directed to leave 
a classified area. All should be done with minimum interference to good 
order and discipline.
