SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of

92), Congress tasked the DAC-IPAD to advise the Secretary of Defense on
the investigation, prosecution, and defense of allegations of rape,
forcible sodomy, sexual assault, and other sexual misconduct involving

meeting held by the DAC-IPAD. On Day 1, the Committee will hear from a
representative from the Joint Service Committee on Military Justice on

recommendation options presented from the Article 25, UCMJ, panel
selection study; will deliberate on the proposed findings and
