Section 130.54. Record of trial

(a) Each general court-martial shall keep
  a separate record of the proceedings in each case brought before it, and
  the record shall be authenticated  by  the  signature  of  the  military
  judge.    If the record cannot be authenticated by the military judge by
  reason of his death, disability, or absence, it shall  be  authenticated
  by  the  signature  of  the  trial counsel or by that of a member if the
  trial counsel is unable to authenticate  it  by  reason  of  his  death,
  disability, or absence. In a court-martial consisting of only a military
  judge  the record shall be authenticated by the court reporter under the
  same conditions which would impose such a duty on a  member  under  this
  subdivision.  If  the  proceedings  have resulted in an acquittal of all
  charges and specifications or,  if  not  affecting  a  general  or  flag
  officer, in a sentence not including discharge and not in excess of that
  which  may  otherwise be adjudged by a special court-martial, the record
  shall contain such matters as may be prescribed  by  regulations  issued
  pursuant to this chapter.
    (b)  Each  special  and  summary  court-martial  shall keep a separate
  record of the proceedings in each case, which record shall contain  such
  matter  and  be  authenticated  in  such  manner  as  may be required by
  regulations issued pursuant to this chapter.
    (c) A copy of the record  of  the  proceedings  of  each  general  and
  special  court-martial  shall  be  given  to  the  accused  as  soon  as
  authenticated.
