Opening Question Court martials apply to both civilians and military personnel? True False Example:

Introduction Since ancient times, military justice has been composed of two distinct branches, laws of the sea and laws of the land. By World War II, the military laws of the U.S. were obscure and contradictory. Example:

The Need for a Unified Code World War II brought a great number of draftees into the service and the result was the military’s differing systems of justice were brought under attack. Courts-martial, trials of military or naval personnel for offenses against the military, often lacked trained legal personnel who were unable or unwilling to give the accused adequate defense or proper advice. Example:

Why Does the Military Need a Different System? Many factors motivated Congress to provide a separate system of justice for the military. Example:

Why Does the Military Need a Different System? Because the armed forces are deployed around the world, military society requires its own justice system. Example:

Why Does the Military Need a Different System? The purpose of the military justice system is to regulate behavior and promote good order, high morale, and discipline. Example:

Lesson Question True or False: World War II brought many draftees into the service. True False Example:

From Where Does the Authority for the UCMJ Come? In Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States, Congress is granted the authority “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” In 1968, the Military Justice Act revised the UCMJ, originally established in 1950. Article 36 of the UCMJ gives the President the authority to issue regulations prescribing the procedure to follow before military tribunals, including the rules of evidence. Example:

Jurisdiction Members of the Armed Forces can be brought before civil or military tribunals if they are accused of a violation of law that is both a civil and a military offense. Once a violation of the UCMJ comes to the attention of The proper military authorities, the commanding officer (CO) must investigate the charge to determine the Validity of the allegation. Example:

Who is Subject to the UCMJ? The Uniform Code of Military Justice applies to people active in the Armed Forces, but it also applies to a number of other individuals. Article Two of the UCMJ lists a number of instances in which the military has jurisdiction. Example:

Who is Subject to the UCMJ? The Coast Guard is administered under Title 14 of the United States Code when not operating as part of the U.S. Navy. However, commissioned members of the NOAA and PHS are only subject to the UCMJ when attached or detailed to a military unit or are militarized by presidential executive order. Example:

Who is Subject to the UCMJ? Cadets and midshipmen at the United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, United States Military Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy. Example:

Who is Subject to the UCMJ? Soldiers and Airmen in the National Guard of the United States are subject to the UCMJ only if activated in a Federal capacity under Title 10 by an executive order issued by the President or during their Annual Training periods, which are orders issued under Title 10.
