    FOREWORD
    This Technical Manual contains a step-by-step description of administrative procedures which are frequently used in an administrative headquarters.
    The description of each administrative procedure shows who takes the required action, what action is taken, what printed forms are used, the authority for taking action, and pertinent comments. The authorities cited include Army Regulations, War Department Circulars, and TM 12-250, Administration. The abbreviations used conform, where possible, to AR 850-150, but for the sake of brevity, many abbreviations are devised for sole use with this manual. Such improvised abbreviations are not authorised for use elsewhere. Also for the sake of brevity, references to printed forms have been shortened (for example, AGO Form 32, or AGO 32, instead of W. D., A. G. O. Form No. 32). The dates of Army Regulations which are referred to in the text are included in the lists of AR references in the heading of each procedure.
    The manual is in loose-leaf format so that revision pages can be inserted easily. Additional procedures will be published from time to time.

    Six months’ gratuity pay.
    Arrears in pay____
    On death in line of duty while on active service, 6 months’ pay of the serviceman (including longevity, foreign service percentage (10 percent base pay for officers, 20 percent EM) and flying pay, but not including rent or rations) is paid to his widow, or if there is no widow, to children under 21 years of age and unmarried, whether or not designated as beneficiary. Where there is no widow or dependent children, any other dependent blood relative of the serviceman or of the wife of such serviceman may be paid the gratuity if properly designated as beneficiary. Unless designated, said relative cannot receive the payment. A friend cannot become eligible to receive this benefit.
    Arrears in pay means the balance of pay and allowances due a deceased serviceman at the time of his death. If there is an executor or administrator, this benefit is paid him. If not, and the total amount due is not in excess of $500, payment may be made to the widow or child. Amounts in excess of $500 may be paid only to the legally appointed executor or administrator of the estate or as may be ordered by the court. If neither widow nor child survives, the payment is made to the legal heirs.

    b. Notify accused of the nature of the offense as clearly and concisely as it may be stated. Inform him that he need not make any statement that will incriminate him; that he may remain silent if he wishes, in which case judgment will be based on the evidence at hand; but that if he does testify, anything he says may be used against him. If he does not admit the delinquency or offense, take testimony in his presence from the individual who reported him on the company punishment book, and from other available witnesses, and give him the opportunity to cross-examine them. Be especially careful to avoid considering an accused guilty on the unsupported memorandum or ticket from MP’s. Arrange with the Provost Marshal to have the MP identify the accused and give testimony as to the alleged offense. Be sure that the complaint actually alleges an offense.
    c. If your investigation shows the soldier is guilty of the offense, and that company punishment will suffice, inform him that you propose to impose punishment under AW 104 unless he demands trial by CM for the offense.

    Do you know the accused? If so, state his name. Is he in the military service of the United States? What is his grade and organization?
    State whether or not accused wishes to testify in his own behalf. If he elects to remain silent no inference can be drawn from this fact and no comment made upon it. The accused may testify on any part or all of the specifications and charges.
    After testimony, request that witness be excused.
    DefC 27. Announce that the defense rests.
    The prosecution and the defense may recall any witnesses in rebuttal, or the court may direct that any witness be recalled for further examination. The TJA directs the reexamination unless the court directs otherwise. If no further testimony is desired the court and the TJA so state.

If there have been any previous convictions the TJA so states and gives the number (1, 2, or 3 convictions, etc.). The TJA will ask the accused if he objects to the admission of this evidence. If not, then the TJA will mark the form accompanying the Charge Sheet (W. D., A. G. O. Form 25, Extract from Service Record) as an exhibit. (MCM, pars 68, 79, and AW 40.) If the accused objects, the court will follow procedure indicated in MCM, par 796.
