(a) General and special courts-martial.--Each general and special courts-martial shall keep a separate record of the proceedings in each case brought before it, and the record shall be authenticated by the signature of the military judge. If the record cannot be authenticated by the military judge by reason of his death, disability or absence, it shall be authenticated by the signature of the trial counsel or by that of a member if the trial counsel is unable to authenticate it by reason of his death, disability or absence. In a court-martial consisting of only a military judge, if the record cannot be authenticated by the military judge by reason of his death, disability or absence, the record shall be authenticated by the signature of the court reporter. A complete verbatim record of the proceedings and testimony shall be prepared in each general and special court-martial case resulting in a conviction. In all other court-martial cases, the record shall contain such matters as the Governor or department may by regulation prescribe.
(b) Summary court martial.--Each summary court-martial shall keep a separate record of the proceedings in each case. The record shall be authenticated in such manner as the Governor or department may by regulation prescribe.
