LAC 41:II.422. Clemency, Generally

A. Usefulness. The full effectiveness of non-judicial punishment cannot be realized unless the commander is aware of his powers of "clemency," including the authority to suspend, remit, or set aside punishment if warranted by the circumstances of the case. These powers give the commander an effective means of rehabilitating the offender which are often more valuable than his mere power to punish. B. Recording Requirement. Any action of suspension, mitigation, remission, or setting aside taken by an authority will be recorded according to published guidance on DA Form 2627-2.
