    • Member was notified of the punishment

    • Chief, Military Justice approves the punishment

    Correct Answer

This means that the punishment is officially implemented and takes effect from that date onwards. The other options, such as SJA (Staff Judge Advocate) approving the punishment or Chief, Military Justice approving the punishment, may be part of the process but do not determine the start of the suspension of punishment. The member being notified of the punishment is important for their awareness but does not determine when the suspension starts.

This timeframe allows the member enough time to consult with legal counsel, review the evidence and potential consequences, and make an informed decision.

This is done to prevent further harm or potential re-victimization of the individuals involved. The other items mentioned, such as the name of the accused and the place of duty of both the accused and defense counsel, may be included in the released records as they do not pose the same level of privacy concerns.

    • Line through the incorrect material and have the trail counsel initial and date by each change

    Correct Answer
    A. Line through the incorrect material and have the trail counsel initial and date by each change
    Explanation
    The proper way to make a minor change to a specification on a charge sheet is to line through the incorrect material and have the trail counsel initial and date by each change. This ensures that the correction is properly documented and acknowledged by the counsel involved in the case. Using correction tape and retyping the correct specification may not provide a clear record of the change, while printing a corrected charge sheet and having the commander prefer charges on the accused may not be necessary for a minor change.

    A dishonorable discharge is the most severe discharge that can be adjudged on an enlisted member if found guilty in a General Court-Martial (GCM). This type of discharge is reserved for individuals who have committed serious offenses, such as treason, murder, or sexual assault. It is considered the most severe form of punishment and carries significant consequences, including the loss of all military benefits and the stigmatization of having a dishonorable discharge on one's record.

This allows the accused to potentially avoid a trial and the associated consequences if their request is approved.

    • Subpoena and a DD Form 453-1

    • DD Form 453-1 and send it to the witness

    • Subpoena and have it served on the witness by U.S Marshals

    • DD Form 453-1 and give it to DC to serve on the witness

    Correct Answer
    A. Subpoena and a DD Form 453-1
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to prepare a subpoena and a DD Form 453-1. This is because when a civilian witness is willing to testify and the office is funding the travel, a subpoena is necessary to legally compel the witness to appear in court. Additionally, the DD Form 453-1 is required to request and authorize the necessary travel expenses for the witness. Therefore, both documents need to be prepared and sent to the witness in order to proceed with witness funding.
