While POCT is primarily designed for the qualification of prospective presiding officers to preside at summary trials, the training is also beneficial to senior NCMs [non-commissioned members] who perform vital roles in the disciplinary process such as investigators and charge-laying authorities. POCT is also taken by junior officers who may be expected to act as assisting officers in the summary trial system. 2, record 1, English, - Presiding%20Officer%20Certification%20Training

Même si la FAOP est principalement conçue pour qualifier les éventuels officiers présidant des procès sommaires, cette formation est utile aux sous-officiers qui exécutent des rôles clés dans le processus disciplinaire, tel que les enquêteurs et les autorités chargées de déposer des accusations. Les officiers subalternes suivent également la FAOP, car ils peuvent être appelés à aider dans ce processus. 2, record 1, French, - Formation%20et%20attestation%20des%20officiers%20pr%C3%A9sidents

The mini-trial is not a trial but a voluntary forum designed to assist principals in a dispute to negotiate a settlement. Each side chooses a senior level person, usually not involved in the emotional aspects of the dispute. Then a mutually acceptable third party is selected to preside at the hearing or "trial". Lawyers for both sides present their best case to the principals and the neutral, who may ask whatever questions they wish. Then the principals, with the assistance of the neutral, try to negotiate a settlement. 3, record 5, English, - principal
