If a Soldier on Rear Detachment, gets recommended for and article 15 by the Rear D Commander who has (assumption of command orders), but as soon as the actual anger comes back, the officer who initiated the Article 15 has changed units and is no longer in the campany, Can the Soldier still receive that article 15?

Any commander can punish you for violation of the UCMJ. Current and preceeding. However the current has the choice not to, and only recieves a recommendation form the previous.

The answer is yes. Having been Rear D, we ran into this situation several times. The infraction is still valid, legal will change the signature block of the commander and proceed. As long as the incoming commander agrees with the reasons for NJP, the action will go forward.

I have seen it happen two ways. I have seen TDS and legal require the soldier be read again and paperwork redone especially if the soldier is pending chapter, however, if it was a company gradde or lower I have seen new commanders give second chances situationally.
