Can a Unit Rewrite Counseling Statements That Are Months Old?
This response is based on the information you provided and is not to be used to make a decision. Do your own research, seek guidance from the chain of command, the IG/JAG, and/or a trusted Mentor before making any decisions.
In my opinion a unit cannot rewrite counseling statements because of mistakes made by the counselor. The document is an official record of what took place and you cannot alter history. The unit could require the counselor to rewrite the documents as corrective training in an effort to improve his/her counseling skills.
If the intent is to have the counseling statements rewritten and signed by the counselee and counselor I do not believe this is legal and the action should be referred to the JAG for a legal opinion.
