Article 33. Forwarding of charges.
When a person is held for trial by general court-martial, the commanding officer shall, not later than 8 calendar days after the accused is ordered into arrest or confinement, if practicable, forward the charges, together with the investigation and allied papers, to the person exercising general court-martial jurisdiction. If that is not practicable, the commanding officer shall report in writing to that person the reasons for delay.
