What form is used to record summarized Article 15 proceedings?

• A. DA 2627
• B. DA 2626
• C. DA 2628
• D. DA 2629

Answer: (A)

Summarized Article 15 is a quick, unit-level non-judicial punishment under the UCMJ, and the official record of those proceedings is kept on DA Form 2627, Record of Proceedings under Article 15, UCMJ. This form captures the accused, the alleged offense, the commander’s findings and punishment, and the rights the service member retains (including any options to seek counsel or appeal). It provides the formal paper trail for the punishment and serves as the document that can be reviewed or appealed if needed. Other forms with similar numbers are used for different administrative actions, so they aren’t the standard record for summarized Article 15 proceedings.
