AR 15-6 investigation
What does this mean, if you don't mind me asking?
Is the military court process much different than civilian (or whatever you call it) court process? I'm really interested in understanding this, if someone is willing to explain.
Eta: I googled AR 15-6 investigation. It pulled up a 38 page kindle document.

Coastie (may I call you Coastie?), the essential elements of it have been answered by Ole War and Navytiger74. If a commander believes there is a reasonable possibility that a crime has been committed or misconduct has occurred, he/she can appoint an AR 15-6 investigating officer to review the facts and make a recommendation on how to proceed (reprimand, admonishment, non-judicial punishment or a courts martial). This investigation can be informal or informal. Just another tool for use by commander (our entire judicial system is rooted in the role of the commander). This is what Major General Dahl is doing right now in regards to Sergeant Bergdahl.
Keep in mind, a commander is a position, not a rank. There can be two officers of equal rank (e.g. colonels) but based upon duty position, only one of them (the commander) has authority to administer non-judicial punishment and conduct investigations.
