Who details the Military Judge?

• A. The Chief Trial Judge from the Central Docketing Office
• B. The Judge Advocate General
• C. The CM
• D. The SJA

Answer: (A)

Detailing a Military Judge to a court-martial is done by the Chief Trial Judge from the Central Docketing Office. This office is responsible for maintaining the roster of qualified military judges and assigning one to each case, ensuring proper qualifications, impartiality, and consistency in how judges are matched to trials. The Judge Advocate General oversees broad policy and overall supervision, not the day-to-day assignment of judges. A Staff Judge Advocate provides command-level legal support but does not perform the formal detailing of judges. The central detailing authority sits with the Chief Trial Judge in the Central Docketing Office, which is why that option is the best answer.
