Which two offices may complete the receipt by SCMCA if delegated?

• A. ASJA or STC
• B. SCMCA or SJA
• C. DC STC or CC
• D. ACC or OSTC

Answer: (B)

The concept here is who can handle the formal receipt of the record when the SCMCA delegates that duty. When the convening authority delegates the post-trial processing steps, the responsibility to complete the receipt can rest with either the SCMCA itself or the Staff Judge Advocate. The SJA serves as the legal office for the convening authority and is routinely authorized to perform procedural tasks in the post-trial process, including acknowledging receipt of the record. The other offices listed do not typically carry this delegated responsibility because their roles are different (prosecution, defense support, command administration, or specialized trial units) and they are not designated to finalize the receipt. So the best answer is that the SCMCA or SJA may complete the receipt when delegated.
