A court-martial is a military court that adjudicates cases involving service members accused of violating military law, known as the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The process involves an investigation, formal charges, and a trial where evidence is presented. Depending on the severity of the charges, the court-martial can be conducted at different levels, including summary, special, or general court-martial, each with varying degrees of formality and potential consequences. Outcomes can include penalties ranging from reprimands to confinement or discharge from service.
