How is it moral to have a new NCO to the unit pull extra duty watch on a Soldier who received UCMJ before that NCOs arrival?

So let me get this straight
You’re asking if it’s moral to assign a noncommissioned officer a supervisory task.
I’ll give you the short professional answer.
Yes
The NCO corps weeps a little in that the question was even asked.

Moral? Is it banned by the Bible? According to regulations and oath aren't all NCO's responsible for ensuring training, discipline, etc . of their troops?. Are you suggesting perhaps that the old NCO should be brought back from God's know elsewhere to supervise this SM. Not trying to bust your chops Luis, but your question is boggling.

So the old NCO is transitioning out of the unit but still here. I just didn’t understand why I would send an newly appointed NCO to watch an extra duty Soldier who is being processed for a chapter. I’m trying to understand how its developmentally beneficial the NCO to take time away from home family responsibilities to watch a Soldier who just doesn’t care. I know NCOs have duties but why would a leader have to serve a duty for a punishment that happened before his/her arrival.

The SM must be supervised, and that a NCO's job- If you feel its NCO punishment- then do it yourself Life is not fair Luis, and the "Big Green Wienie" is always there.

Extra duty watch is a typical NCO duty, whether you are new to a unit or not, right? Or have things changed that much in the 11 years since I’ve been an NCO?
