(a) Whenever a sentence of a court-martial as lawfully adjudged and approved includes a forfeiture of pay or allowances in addition to confinement not suspended, the forfeiture may apply to pay or allowances becoming due on or after the date the sentence is approved by the convening authority. No forfeiture may extend to any pay or allowances accrued before that date.\n(b) Any period of confinement included in a sentence of a court-martial begins to run from the date the sentence is adjudged by the court-martial but periods during which the sentence to confinement is suspended shall be excluded in computing the service of the term of confinement.\n(c) All other sentences of courts-martial are effective on the dates ordered executed.\n(d) On request of an accused sentenced to confinement under the sentence pending execution, the convening authority may at its discretion postpone the execution of the sentence. The postponement shall cease at the time of ordering the execution of the sentence. The postponement may be rescinded by the officer who granted it or by the officer with court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is assigned.\nHistory —June 23, 1969, No.
