defense counsel feels should be considered in behalf of the accused on review, including
any objection to the contents of the record which the defense counsel considers appropriate. (D) An assistant trial counsel of a court-martial may, under the direction of the trial
counsel or when the assistant trial counsel is qualified to be a trial counsel, perform
any duty imposed by law, regulation, or the custom of the service upon the trial counsel. (E) An assistant defense counsel of a general or special court-martial may, under the
direction of the defense counsel or when the assistant defense counsel is qualified
to be the defense counsel, perform any duty imposed by law, regulation, or the custom
of the service upon counsel for the accused.
