Article 24 Interpreter and shorthand writer

A competent and impartial person may be appointed at any time to act as shorthand writer, recorder or interpreter at a trial by court-martial.

Before any such person is employed or sworn the accused shall be given an opportunity to object to him in the same manner as an objection may be taken to a member of the court and, if the court think that the objection is reasonable, that person shall not act.
