Which entity sends the VIC's preferences in writing to the SPCMCA?

• A. The SJA
• B. The VIC
• C. The SPCMCA
• D. The Chief VC

Answer: (A)

The Staff Judge Advocate handles transmitting the victim’s preferences to the Special Court-Martial Convening Authority. As the convening authority’s legal adviser, the SJA collects and reviews the victim’s input and then sends it in writing to the convening authority so it becomes part of the case record. The victim provides the content of the preferences, but the formal transmission is performed by the SJA to ensure proper legal process. The Special Court-Martial Convening Authority is the recipient, not the sender, and the Chief Victim Counselor doesn’t serve as the conduit for this communication.
