AGENCY: Joint Service Committee on Military Justice (JSC), Department 
of Defense.

ACTION: Publication of discussion and analysis (supplementary 
materials) accompanying the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States 
(2019 ed.) (MCM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The JSC hereby publishes Supplementary Materials accompanying 
the MCM as amended by Executive Order 13825. These changes have not 
been coordinated within the Department of Defense under DoD Directive 
5500.1, ``Preparation, Processing and Coordinating Legislation, 
Executive Orders, Proclamations, Views Letters and Testimony,'' June 
15, 2007, and do not constitute the official position of the Department 
of Defense, the Military Departments, or any other Government agency. 
These Supplementary Materials have been approved by the JSC and the 
General Counsel of the Department of Defense, and shall be applied in 
conjunction with the rule with which they are associated. The 
Discussions are effective insofar as the Rules they supplement are 
effective, but may not be applied earlier than the date of publication 
in the Federal Register.

DATES: These Supplementary Materials are effective as of January 1, 
2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Luce, 
JAGC, USN (202) 685-7058 or [email protected]. The JSC website is

supplementary materials via the Federal Register on July 11, 2017 (82 
FR 31952-31953, Docket ID: DoD-2017-OS-0032), held a public meeting on
