If during the probation period the offender commits further acts which are considered misconduct under the UCMJ, you may terminate the suspension and put the original punishment into effect. Mitigation and remission. Mitigation reduces the punishment's severity and is appropriate when offenders demonstrate subsequent good conduct that merits a decrease in punishment. Mitigation is also warranted when the punishment is disproportionate to the offense.

Appeals should be handled promptly.
