BURDEN OF PROOF AND STANDARD OF PROOF As the moving party, the burden of proof is on the Defense by a preponderance of the evidence. RCM 905(c)(1). FACTS This case is among the most politically charged courts-martial in Army history. Attuned to the public and political pressure, Army officials have treated this case differently from those of other similarly situated accused Soldiers. As a result, the Defense has a duty to investigate all actions that reflect or may constitute unlawful command influence (UCI). Among the matters that must be investigated as a matter of effective assistance of counsel are the following: D APP 23 - #1 U.S. v. Robert Bowdrie Bergdahl Third Defense Motion To Compel (UCI) 1. An AR 15-6 investigation in which the investigating officer was asked to make frequent updates to Army leadership, including the Director of the Army Staff, the Chief of Staff of the Army, and the Secretary of the Army; 2. Documented interest in the progress of the prosecution of the case expressed by both the House and Senate Committees on Armed Services (HASC and SASC) to Army and DoD leaders; 3.

  • Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment
    Department of Defense Key Officials September 1947–JULY 2019 Historical Office Office of the Secretary of Defense Introductory Note This compilation, prepared by the Historical Office of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), presents information about the Department of Defense (DoD) organization and its key officials since its establishment in 1947. The scope of the work is a Department-wide listing of senior officials, but it does not purport to be comprehensive. “Key Officials” is not official terminology, nor is this a top-down listing of officials in order of precedence or reporting authority. It lists both presidentially-appointed, Senate-confirmed (PAS) as well as non-PAS officials. It includes civilian officials in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the military departments as well as the top leadership of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the Combatant Commands, and certain DoD field activities and Defense agencies. This compilation includes titles of some official positions that have been superseded by new titles or organizational changes. The text indicates all instances where this has occurred. Where an official position has a direct lineal predecessor with a similar scope of functions, the prior position is either included with the current position or the text indicates where the prior position can be found elsewhere in the publication. In most entries, the effective date of incumbency is either the swearing-in date or initial appointment date. Officials assume office after being appointed to the positions, usually followed by a ceremonial swearing in days or weeks later. Dates of DoD directives establishing the responsibilities of positions and prescribing functions may appear months or sometimes years later.
