I understand there are multiple offices looking at each case. When it starts to be investigated and eventually moves to the commanding officer's or the prosecutor's hands, there must be some sort of standard that says it's going to take this long overall. We know the Supreme Court is saying 18 months is the time within which justice must be served. If it is 18 months, is there not some sort of matching, already-established, already-in-place goal or target for the military justice system to meet, perhaps some in summary, simple cases, and different ones in more complex cases?
