9 COURTS-MARTIAL CONVENING AUTHORITIES - UCMJ UCMJ, Article 22: General Court Marital may be convened by the commanding officer of a division UCMJ, Article 23: Special Court Martial may be convened by the commanding officer of a brigade UCMJ, Article 24: Summary Court- Martial may be convened by the commanding officer of a detached company

10 COURTS-MARTIAL CONVENING AUTHORITIES – AR 27-10 AR 27-10, para 20-8: “authority to convene GCM or SPCM is withdrawn for USARC officers qualified as a GCMCA or SPCMCA under UCMJ.” “Authority to convene special courts- martial rests with the Commander, USARC. The USARC commander or designee has the discretion to delegate special court-martial convening authority on a case-by-case basis.”

11 COURTS-MARTIAL CONVENING AUTHORITIES – ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS Many administrative investigations delineate appointing authorities by GCMCA, SPCMCA, etc. The withdrawal of court- martial convening authority does not affect a commander’s ability to be a GCMCA, SPCMCA, etc. with regard to appointing administrative proceedings E.g., 4 June 2004 USARC Memorandum re: Status as General Court Martial Convening Authority

21 12304a - CURRENT STATUS AND ISSUES12304a - CURRENT STATUS AND ISSUES SecDef delegated this authority to the service secretaries in Mar 2013 Applies to units and individuals First use during Super Storm Sandy in November 2012 – 82 USAR Soldiers, Quartermaster Detachments (PA, NC, & FL) – Three tactical water distribution units – The majority of challenges stemmed from new processes – Lessons learned process ongoing to support federal-state partnerships NORTHCOM plans for future use of Non-Guard Reserve 21

23 12304b - CURRENT STATUS AND ISSUES12304b - CURRENT STATUS AND ISSUES OSD interprets this authority to apply to units, including Derivative UICs First use started in FY 14 (Oct 13) HQDA originally planned to fund 1,300 man-years in FY14, but reduced to 850 based on funding limitations – FY15-19 requirements are projected to be approximately 3,400 man- years annually – Provides opportunities to sustain operational experience in the RC Missions must be programmed in the base budget – Funding will remain a challenge across the current Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) – In the current budget environment, 12304b is competing with other requirements 23

24 WAY AHEAD ON 12301a & bWAY AHEAD ON 12301a & b HQDA is revising AR 500-5 (Army Mobilization). – The intent is streamline RC voluntary and involuntary calls to active duty, and to involve commanders in certifying personnel readiness and individual training – Distinguish between readiness validations for Homeland Defense and expeditionary contingency operations. HQDA updated the Army Mobilization and Operations Planning and Execution System (AMOPES) There is interest in asking Congress to expand 12304b to include generating force activities (e.g., Drill Sergeants) Reports to Congress – HQDA submitted 12304b information in the Justification Books that supported the President’s FY14 Budget. – HQDA is providing a follow-on report to the Congressional Defense Committees regarding 12304b execution Integration of 12304b into the Regionally Aligned Forces Construct 24
