Military Offenses

COURTS-MARTIAL

A court-martial is the military's version of going to trial. The rules for a court-martial are unique and in some areas provide more protections than courts in the civilian jurisdictions. There are three types of court-martial: Summary Court-Martial, Special Court-Martial, and General Court-Martial. Special and General Courts-Martial should never be attempted without counsel. A conviction by Special or General Court-Martial is a federal conviction and the member can be confined in federal prison. These are very serious matters.

ART. 15. ALSO KNOWN AS NON-JUDICIAL PUNISHMENT (NJT)

Any commanding officer may, in addition to or in lieu of admonition or reprimand, impose one or more disciplinary punishments for minor offenses without the intervention of a court-martial. These punishments can be somewhat negotiated and result in a lower punishment, based on the member’s otherwise relevant history.

ADMINISTRATIVE SEPARATION BOARDS

Administrative Separation Boards (Admin Boards) and Boards of Inquiry (BOI) are forums in which a member of the military service may be processed for an administrative discharge. They are not punitive in nature. However, they can have serious consequences in terms of prematurely ending military careers. Whether properly convened or not these separations generally leave the member in a separated non-retirement posture.
