Which processing time pairing is correct?

• A. Chapter 6: 60 calendar days; RILO: 30 calendar days.
• B. Chapter 6: 25 duty days; RILO: 60 calendar days.
• C. Chapter 6: 15 duty days; RILO: 90 calendar days.
• D. Chapter 6: 30 calendar days; RILO: 120 calendar days.

Answer: (B)

The timing concept being tested is how different military justice procedures count days. Some actions are counted in duty days, which exclude weekends and holidays when the unit isn’t conducting official duties, giving a shorter countdown. Others are counted in calendar days, which include every day, producing a longer window.

For Chapter 6 actions, the clock runs in duty days, so a typical timeframe is 25 duty days. For RILO actions, the count uses calendar days, often totaling 60 calendar days. This combination—Chapter 6 at 25 duty days and RILO at 60 calendar days—fits the standard counting methods, so it’s the best pairing.

The other options mix day-count conventions (using calendar days for Chapter 6 or duty days for RILO) or show timeframes that don’t align with the usual ranges, which is why they’re not correct.
