Who can submit supplemental information for the PHO's consideration?

• A. TC, DC, SVC, and any named Victim
• B. The accused
• C. The SJA
• D. The VIC

Answer: (A)

The ability to submit supplemental information for the PHO’s consideration rests with those who have formal roles and standing in the case: the government’s trial counsel, the accused’s defense counsel, Special Victims Counsel, and any named victim. These are the participants who can present, via their counsel or on their own behalf through appropriate channels, additional information or perspectives for the PHO to consider. The accused does not submit directly in this context; input goes through defense counsel. The SJA (the command’s legal advisor) and the VIC (victim-information coordinator or similar role) aren’t the designated submitters for PHO consideration in this framework. This is why the combination of TC, DC, SVC, and any named Victim is the correct group.
