What does this mean, if you don't mind me asking?
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.

Yes, you can call me Coastie.
I've been texting my army friend and he somewhat explained it to me, but admitted that he didn't know all of the details. He basically said that Article 15's are serious shite, but he wasn't sure what the dash 6 meant. He has been out for a while.
That was an excellent explanation. Thanks for taking the time to type all of that out, seriously.
