    (a) Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Boards (AFDCBs) may be 
established by installation, base, or station commanders. The mission of 
AFDCBs is as follows:

[[Page 21]]

    (1) Advise and make recommendations to commanders on matters 
concerning the elimination of crime or other conditions which may 
negatively affect the health, safety, morals, welfare, morale, or 
discipline of Armed Forces personnel.
    (2) Insure the establishment and maintenance of the highest degree 
of liaison and coordination between military commands and appropriate 
civil authorities.
    (b) Where installations of two or more military Services are located 
or which are frequented by personnel of two or more Services, there will 
be joint Service participation in any AFDCB. In such cases, the 
commander of the Service with the greatest number of troops will serve 
as the ``sponsoring commander'' of the board. When there is joint 
participation in AFDCBs, written agreements will be executed by the 
respective Service installation commanders. These agreements will 
designate the sponsoring commander and delineate the joint Service 
participation.
