Military justice refers to the legal system that governs members of the armed forces. It is designed to maintain discipline, order, and adherence to laws within the military. The system operates under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which outlines offenses, procedures, and penalties specific to military personnel. In military justice, cases are typically handled by military courts, which can include courts-martial and non-judicial punishment. These courts have the authority to try service members for various offenses, ranging from minor infractions to serious crimes. The military justice system aims to ensure accountability while balancing the unique needs of military service.
