Section 15 AFA addresses which?

• A. Misconduct towards a superior officer
• B. Failure to attend for or perform a duty
• C. Unfitness or misconduct through alcohol or drugs
• D. Disobedience to lawful command

Answer: (B)

Section 15 of the Armed Forces Act covers failure to attend for or perform a duty. It focuses on the obligation to show up and carry out scheduled duties, such as muster, parades, or other assignments. If someone simply misses a duty or fails to perform it, this section applies, regardless of intent or other factors.

This is why it’s the best fit for the scenario: it specifically targets non-attendance or non-performance of duties. Other options describe different offences—misconduct toward a superior officer relates to how a person treats a higher-ranked member, unfitness or misconduct through alcohol or drugs involves impairment or substance issues, and disobedience to a lawful command is about ignoring direct orders—topics that lie under different provisions.
