(a) Each general and special court-martial shall keep a separate record of the proceedings in each case brought before it, and the record must be authenticated by the signature of the military judge. If the military judge cannot authenticate the record because of the military judge's death, disability, or absence, the record shall be authenticated by the signature of the trial counsel or, if the trial counsel is unable to authenticate the record because of the trial counsel's death, disability, or absence, then by the signature of a member of the court. In a court-martial consisting of only a military judge, the record shall be authenticated by the court reporter under the same conditions that would impose a duty on a member under this subsection.
(b) In each general and special court-martial case resulting in a conviction, a complete verbatim record of the proceedings and testimony shall be prepared. In all other court-martial cases, the record must contain the matters as may be prescribed by rules of procedure.
(c) Each summary court-martial shall keep a separate record of the proceedings in each case, and the record shall be authenticated in the manner as may be prescribed by rules of procedure.
(d) A copy of the record of the proceedings of each general and special court-martial shall be given to the accused as soon as the record is authenticated.
