The SEALs were offered nonjudicial punishment, but supposedly refused. The convening authority, Maj Gen Charles Cleveland (commander of Special Operations Command Central) , signed off on sending them to a court martial. He made the final call.

(from a previous thread)

Looking further into this, Maj Gen Cleveland has convened an Article 32 investigation for a Special Courts Martial. From a reliable authority, the Article 32 determines whether to proceed or dismiss based on the merits of the case.

This just may go away shortly.
