Appendix IV.
Forms for charges and specifications

a. General.--The forms are intended as a general guide for use in the drafting of charges and specifications, not only for the offenses specifically provided for, but for other like offenses. The several forms of specifications are not mandatory and may be added to or deviated from. The serial number of an accused should not be alleged in a specification. See 24-29 (Preparation of charges).

b. Numbering of charges and specifications.--When there is more than one charge the charges should be numbered, using the Roman numerals, viz, I, II, etc. When there is more than one specification under a charge the specifications under that charge should be numbered, using the Arabic numerals, viz, 1, 2, etc.

c. Name and description of accused.--The name of the accused as stated in the specification should include his Christian name, and middle name or initial, and except in a case in which the jurisdiction of the court over the person is not dependent upon his being a person subject to military law (e.g., see A.W. 81 and 82), should be accompanied by such descriptive language as will show that he is a person subject to military law and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of the court as to persons. Thus, in the ordinary case of a soldier, the specification should read "In that Private John Smith, Company A, 7th Inf. did," etc.

These forms apply whether the accused is a member of the Regular Army, or of volunteer forces accepted or mustered into the military service of the United States, or of the National Guard, or of other forces which may have been drafted, called, or ordered into, or to duty or for training in, the military service of the United States. If, however, the accused has not obeyed the call, draft, or order, his name should be followed by the words "lawfully called (drafted) (ordered) into the military service of the United States."

If the accused has not been assigned to an organization, the word "unassigned" may be employed.

In the case of a cadet, the specification should read "In that Cadet John Smith, United States Military Academy, did" etc.

In the case of a member of the Marine Corps detached for service with the armies of the United States by order of the President, the words "detached for service with the armies of the United States by order of the President" should follow the other words of identification and description. When the accused is an officer or enlisted man of the Medical Department of the Navy, serving with a body of Marines detached for service with the armies of the United States by order of the President, this fact should be alleged as follows: "In that ----------------, Medical Department of the Navy, serving with a body of Marines detached for service with the armies of the United States by order of the President, did," etc.

As to the persons made subject to military law by A.W. 2(d), the words "a retainer to the camp of United States troops without the territorial jurisdiction of the United States," or "a person accompanying the armies of the

United States without the territorial jurisdiction of the United States," or "a person serving with the armies of the United States without the territorial jurisdiction of the United States," should be employed, unless it be in time of war, when the words "a retainer to the camp of United States troops in the field," or "a person accompanying the armies of the United States in the field," or "a person serving with the armies of the United States in the field," should be used, according to the circumstances of each case. Where jurisdiction is asserted under A.W. 2(e), the name of the accused should be followed by the words "a person under sentence adjudged by court-martial," or if he is a general prisoner, he may be described as "General Prisoner John Smith."

d. Use of aliases.--Where without discharge a soldier enlists two or more times, each time under a different name, he should be charged under the name, etc., pertaining to his first unterminated enlistment with the other names, etc., under aliases; thus "Private John Smith, Company B, Seventh Infantry, alias Private John Brawn, Company A, Tenth Infantry."

e. In case of change of grade.--Where the grade of the accused has changed since the date of an alleged offense, the accused should be designated by his present grade followed by a statement of his grade at the date of the alleged offense, thus: In that Private A B, Company --------, -------- Infantry, then Sergeant, Company --------, Infantry, did, etc.

f. Form of specification in joint offense.--In the case of a joint offense each accused may be charged as if he alone was concerned or the specifications may be in accordance with the principles of the following examples, depending on the decision of the person preferring the charges as to how the persons concerned should be tried:

In that Private A, Company --------, -------- Infantry, and Private C, Company --------, -------- Infantry, acting jointly, and in pursuance of a common intent, did (here allege place, time, and offense as when charging one person).

In that Private A, Company --------, -------- Infantry, and Private B, Company --------, -------- Infantry, acting jointly and in pursuance of a common intent, did, in conjunction with Private C, Company --------, -------- Infantry (here allege place, time and offense).

In that Private C, Company --------, -------- Infantry, did, in conjunction with Private A, Company --------, -------- Infantry, and Private B, Company -------- -------- Infantry (here allege place, time and offense).

g. Place and date of offense.--The place and date of the commission of the alleged offense will, as a rule, be stated in the body of each specification and not in a separate line at the end thereof. The allegations of the time and place of the commission of an offense should be stated as accurately as possible, but where the act or acts charged extend over a considerable period of time it may be necessary to cover such period in the allegation. Thus, allegations of "from March to September, 1887," and "from May to October, 1888," have been countenanced in a case in which the accused was charged with the neglect of a duty that required continuous performance. So, also, it is proper to allege that an offense mas committed while "en route" between certain points. So where the exact time or place of the commission of the offense is not known it is frequently preferable to allege it as having occurred "on or about" a certain date or time, or "at or near" a certain locality, rather than to aver it as committed on a particular day or between two specified days or at a particular place. There is no defined construction to be placed upon the words "on or about" as used in the allegation of time in a specification. The phrase can not be said to cover any precise number of days or latitude in time. It is ordinarily used in military pleading for the purpose of indicating some period, as nearly

as can be ascertained and set forth, at or during which the offenses charged are believed to have been committed in cases where the exact day can not well be named. And the same is to be said as to the use of the words "at or near" in connection with the averment of place.
