Rule 302. Apprehension
(a) Definition and scope.
(1) Definition. Apprehension is the taking of a person into custody. Discussion
Apprehension is the equivalent of “arrest” in civilian terminology. (In military terminology, “arrest” is a form of restraint. See Article 9; R.C.M. 304.) See subsection (c) of this rule concerning the bases for apprehension. An apprehension is not required in every case; the fact that an accused was never apprehended does not affect the jurisdiction of a court-martial to try the accused. However, see R.C.M. 202(c) concerning attachment of jurisdiction. An apprehension is different from detention of a person for investigative purposes, although each involves the exercise of government control over the freedom of movement of a person. An apprehension must be based on probable cause, and the custody initiated in an apprehension may continue until proper authority is notified and acts under R.C.M. 304 or 305. An investigative detention may be made on less than probable cause (see Mil. R. Evid. 314(f)), and normally involves a relatively short period of custody. Furthermore, an extensive search of the person is not authorized incident to an investigative detention, as it is with an apprehension. See Mil. R. Evid. 314(f) and (g). This rule does not affect any seizure of the person less severe than apprehension. Evidence obtained as the result of an apprehension which is in violation of this rule may be challenged under Mil. R. Evid. 311(d). Evidence obtained as the result of an unlawful civilian arrest may be challenged under Mil. R. Evid. 311(d). (2) Scope. This rule applies only to apprehensions made by persons authorized to do so under subsection (b) of this rule with respect to offenses subject to trial by court-martial. Nothing in this rule limits the authority of federal law enforcement officials to apprehend persons, whether or not subject to trial by court-martial, to the extent permitted by applicable enabling statutes and other law.

MCPON Whittet
MCPON John “Jack” Whittet
Second Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Apr. 1, 1971 – Sept. 25, 1975
So significant were the reforms introduced by Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr. that it was rare to find anyone serving in the Navy at that time that remained neutral. You either believed in the CNO’s reforms or you didn’t. MCPON Whittet did and it was his job to convince those who didn’t.
Jack Whittet had been in the Navy for 28 years when he became MCPON. He loved it with the dedication and commitment of an adopted child. He was 17 when he left his home in Providence, Rhode Island, to enlist in the Navy. It was 1943 and the Navy was still two years away from victory over Japan in the Pacific. After almost a year of training as an aviation machinist, Whittet was sent to Guam with Torpedo Squadron 38. He won his combat aircrewman wings flying 31 missions from the carriers Lexington and Anzio.
After the war, he changed to the PB4Ys serving with east coast squadrons and making a deployment to Saudi Arabia. When the Korean War broke out, he was aboard the carrier Bon Homme Richard with Carrier Air Group 102, which flew combat air strikes against the North Koreans. During the next 15 years, he would serve at various air stations, with a patrol squadron, two fighter squadrons, two attack squadrons, and as the flight crew plane captain for the Commander, Naval Forces at the Continental Air Defense Command at Colorado Springs, Colorado.
In the meantime, he was advanced to Aviation Master Chief (AFCM) in 1967. He was serving as the aircraft maintenance control chief and the senior enlisted advisor (SEA) to the Commander, Fleet Air Argentia, Newfoundland, when he was recommended by his commander for the job of MCPON.
While the selection process was underway, Whittet was transferred to Norfolk to serve as the senior enlisted advisor to the Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. From there, he was summoned to Washington on November 8, 1970, as one of the four finalists.
On March 31, 1971, Whittet was appointed the second MCPON by Vice Admiral Dick H. Guinn, Chief of Naval Personnel. The letter of appointment differed from the one given MCPON
Black four years earlier. In addition to reflecting the title change from Senior Enlisted Advisor, the new MCPON was given the added responsibility for advising the CNO, as well as the CNP, “on matters affecting the morale, retention, career enhancement and general well being of the enlisted personnel of the Navy.”The Whittets moved into Quarters J at the Washington Navy Yard.
Almost midway through his tour as MCPON, Whittet took the CNO up on his offer in Z-108 to allow “well-qualified senior petty officers” continuation of service beyond 30 years. On January 16, 1973, he reenlisted for six more years. The press release announcing the event, held in the CNO’s office, said Whittet felt he still had a “great deal to offer the Navy.”
“I don’t think a career Navy man should automatically feel that he has served out his usefulness to the service at the end of 30 years,” the release quoted Whittet. “The Navy has done a lot for me and I think I still have a lot to contribute. That’s why I made the decision to reenlist for another six years.
According to the release, Whittet would revert back to his rating of Master Chief Aircraft Maintenanceman when he left the MCPON office. But one year later, he changed to the new Master-at-Arms rating.
In the foyer of the Washington Navy Yard Chief’s Club hang the portraits of the Master Chief Petty Officers of the Navy. On the evening of May 7, 1989, the light over the second MCPON, John “Jack” D. Whittet, flickered briefly, then went out. The next day, club employees gathered around the darkened portrait, talking in hushed voices. They had just received the news that MCPON Whittet had drowned in a diving accident the previous day.
As news of Whittet’s death spread through the Navy, many remembered him as “Zumwalt’s MCPON,” a label that had both positive and negative connotations, depending on which side of the fence the speaker was in the tumultuous years between 1970 and 1974. No other period in the history of the U.S. Navy could claim as many changes or as much internal turmoil.
Michael Monsoor
Rank: Petty Officer 2nd Class Organization: U.S. Navy Company:Division: SEAL Team 3

Entered Service At: Garden Grove, CA Date of Issue: 04/08/2008
Place / Date: Ar Ramadi, Iraq, 29 September 2006
Citation
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as automatic weapons gunner for Naval Special Warfare Task Group Arabian Peninsula, in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 29 September 2006. As a member of a combined SEAL and Iraqi Army Sniper Overwatch Element, tasked with providing early warning and stand-off protection from a rooftop in an insurgent held sector of Ar Ramadi, Iraq, Petty Officer Monsoor distinguished himself by his exceptional bravery in the face of grave danger. In the early morning, insurgents prepared to execute a coordinated attack by reconnoitering the area around the elements position. Element snipers thwarted the enemys initial attempt by eliminating two insurgents. The enemy continued to assault the element, engaging them with a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire. As enemy activity increased, Petty Officer Monsoor took position with his machine gun between two teammates on an outcropping of the roof. While the SEALs vigilantly watched for enemy activity, an insurgent threw a hand grenade from an unseen location, which bounced off Petty Officer Monsoors chest and landed in front of him. Although only he could have escaped the blast, Petty Officer Monsoor chose instead to protect his teammates. Instantly and without regard for his own safety, he threw himself onto the grenade to absorb the force of the explosion with his body, saving the lives of his two teammates. By his undaunted courage, fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of certain death, Petty Officer Monsoor gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Force Protection
Actions taken to prevent or mitigate hostile actions against DoD
personnel (including family members), resources, facilities, and critical information. These actions conserve the force’s fighting potential so it can be applied at the decisive time and place and incorporate the coordinated and synchronized offensive and defensive measures to enable the effective employment of the joint force while degrading opportunities for the enemy
Antiterrorism
Defensive measures used to reduce the vulnerability of individuals and
property to terrorist acts, to include limited response and containment by local military and civilian forces. AT measures are taken to detect, deter, defend, defeat and mitigate acts of terror.
Physical Security
That part of security concerned with physical measures designed to
safeguard personnel; to prevent unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents; and to safeguard them against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft.
Law Enforcement
LE operations support good order and discipline on Navy commands
around the world. The NSF will operate with restraint and authority, within reasonable standards, and with a minimum use of force, making the NSF ideally suited as a response” force for any situation. Wherever Navy installations are located, the NSF will protect and assist the military community. The NSF will preserve the law and help the commander ensure a high standard of order and discipline within the commander’s units.
a. The CO is responsible for the good order and discipline of the command.
b. The NSF must have standardized policies and procedures to enforce the law, maintain good order and discipline, investigate offenses, safeguard the rights of all persons, and provide service to the community.
c. All accidents and criminal incidents that occur aboard the installation or ship will be reported to the NSF, which shall take action to cause an initial response to and investigation of the offense.
Three core lines of effort are necessary for protection: critical infrastructure protection, continuity of operations and Force Protection (FP). Antiterrorism (AT), Law Enforcement (LE) and Physical Security (PS) are pillars which complement, integrate with, and support the core lines of effort. While the prioritization of implementing the pillars must be based on each commander’s risk management process, in general, the AT mission shall be treated as the effort of first importance as it ensures the availability of Navy assets for war-fighting missions.
