Which kind of victims may request Extraordinary Circumstances?

• A. Non-eligible victims
• B. All victims
• C. Only eligible victims
• D. Only minor victims

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that extraordinary circumstances accommodations are available to every person recognized as a victim, not just a subset. In the military justice context, a victim can request extraordinary circumstances when normal procedures would impose unfair hardship or pose safety or practical concerns, such as issues with travel, health, or safety during participation in proceedings. The policy is designed to be inclusive, ensuring that any victim—regardless of eligibility status or other classifications—has the opportunity to seek, and potentially receive, these accommodations.

Choosing that this applies to all victims keeps the process fair and responsive to individual burdens. Limiting it to only eligible victims, non-eligible, or only minors would exclude victims who also face significant hardships and deserve consideration.
