| It may be that you can object to io due to lack of impartiality bc he would have to call ca liar not to refer so you have uci issue looming...I will look at preferral case law and see if I find something...

Any case law on that? We have a convening authority who is also an accuser in one of the charges (failure to obey lawful command) who has appointed an Art 32 investigating officer. Can he do so? Can he receive and recommend action on its results? Seems to me that he can. Just checking the brain trust. Neal
