1. On application by an accused who is under a sentence of confinement that has not been ordered executed, the convening authority or, if the accused is no longer under that person’s jurisdiction, the person exercising general court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is currently assigned may, in the sole discretion of that person, defer service of the sentence of confinement. The deferment must terminate when the sentence is ordered executed. The person who granted the deferment may rescind the deferment at any time. If the accused is no longer under the jurisdiction of the person who granted the deferment, the person exercising general court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is currently assigned may rescind the deferment at any time.
2. In any case in which a court-martial sentences an accused referred to in subsection 1 to confinement, the convening authority may defer the service of the sentence of confinement without the consent of the accused until after the accused has been permanently released to the state military forces by a state, the United States or a foreign country.
3. Subsection 1 applies to a person subject to this Code who:
(a) While in the custody of a state, the United States or a foreign country is temporarily returned by that state, the United States or a foreign country to the state military forces for trial by court-martial; and
(b) After the court-martial described in paragraph (a), is returned to that state, the United States or a foreign country under the authority of a mutual agreement or treaty, as the case may be.
4. In any case in which a court-martial sentences an accused to confinement and the sentence of confinement has been ordered executed pending review, the Adjutant General may defer further service of the sentence of confinement while that review is pending.
5. As used in this section, the term “state” includes any state, the District of Columbia and any commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States.
