After all necessary information is entered by the convening authority, copies of the charge sheet shall be made for use by trial personnel.(b) Preparation of the charge sheet is the most critical step prior to referral of the case for trial and shall not be accomplished without the assistance of a legal officer or judge advocate, unless none are available.
