The
military legal system is based almost entirely on
the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
The UCMJ applies to all branches of the military
including the Coast Guard. In fact you are
subject to the UCMJ and Military law as long as you
are an active-duty, reserve & guard service member
or a military retiree.Most of the issues covered
in the UCMJ include: bringing cases to military
courts, the different types of court-martial,
treatment and apprehension of prisoners, and the
trial process. In addition, rules govern
military jurisdiction, legal investigations,
discharges, the release and revision of military
records, post-trial review procedures, and appeals
are also included. |
