(2) On application of an accused, the convening authority may defer a forfeiture of pay or allowances or reduction in grade that would otherwise become effective on the date that is fourteen days after the date on which the sentence is adjudged until the date on which the sentence is approved by the convening authority.

The deferment shall terminate when the sentence is ordered executed. The deferment may be rescinded at any time by the officer who granted it or, if the accused is no longer under the officer's jurisdiction, by the officer exercising general court-martial jurisdiction over the command to which the accused is currently assigned.
