Which statement correctly describes a Chapter 6 Request?

• A. A Chapter 6 Request is a request for probation
• B. A Chapter 6 Request is to delay the trial
• C. A Chapter 6 Request is a Request for Discharge in Lieu of Trial
• D. A Chapter 6 Request is unrelated to discharge

Answer: (C)

A Chapter 6 Request is a pretrial option to resolve the case by discharge in lieu of trial. In this path, the accused asks to be discharged from military service as the alternative to facing a court-martial, with terms agreed with the government. It’s not about probation or simply delaying the trial; it’s about exiting the service as the outcome in exchange for resolving the charges. This option is inherently linked to discharge, requiring review and approval by the appropriate authority and carrying implications for benefits and future eligibility. The other choices describe different concepts (probation, delaying the trial) or claim no connection to discharge, which doesn’t fit how a Chapter 6 Request is used.
