Where in the regulation can I find this information? From the initial counseling, how long do commanders have to issue an Article 15 and give a first reading? 2017-10-20T18:28:10-04:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 3018631 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From the first counseling that says a soldier is getting recommended for UCMJ, how long do company commanders have to give a first reading?

That would have been the first reading. Has the SM involved gone to TDS yet?

There are certain events that have a timetable, but with a good reason, that can be extended Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 21 at 2017 10:14 AM 2017-10-21T10:14:59-04:00 2017-10-21T10:14:59-04:00 MAJ Private RallyPoint Member 3040768 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>An article 15 has a statute of limitations of 2 years from the time of the incident. There is no requirement that the 15 be given within a certain amount of time following a counseling. I would recommend you speak with an attorney from TDS. They are free defense attorneys paid for by the army to help soldiers facing punishment. The regulation you are looking for is AR 27-10.
