美国陆军取消了指挥官批准被指控犯有严重罪行的士兵退伍的权力。 US Army removes commanders' authority to grant discharges for soldiers accused of serious crimes.
美国陆军将不再让指挥官决定被指控犯有严重罪行的士兵是否退役而不接受审判。 The US Army will no longer let commanders decide if soldiers accused of serious crimes leave the service instead of facing trial. 这一决定是在 ProPublica、德克萨斯论坛报和军事时报进行调查后做出的，调查揭露了数百名被指控犯有暴力罪行的士兵被行政解职，而不是被送往军事法庭。 This decision follows an investigation by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune, and Military Times, exposing hundreds of soldiers charged with violent crimes administratively discharged instead of court-martialed. 新规定于周六生效，取消了指挥官批准此类解雇的唯一权力。 The new rule, effective from Saturday, removes commanders' sole authority to grant such discharges.
