Arrest in quarters. The disciplinary measure is imposable only on officers. It is a moral restraint, as opposed to a physical restraint. It is similar to restriction, but has much narrower limits. The limits of arrest are set by the officer imposing the disciplinary measure and may extend beyond quarters. The term “quarters” includes military and private residences. The officer may be required to perform their regular duties as long as they do not involve the exercise of authority over subordinates.

Additionally, when imposed upon a petty or noncommissioned officer (E-4 and above), the duties cannot be demeaning to their rank or position.
