Are you facing the risk of adverse administrative action at Fort Bragg? We are here to protect your rights and your interests. Our Fort Bragg military defense attorney fights to protect the rights of soldiers and Army officers. Military law allows your commander to take adverse administrative action to address certain matters of misconduct. Here is an overview of the law:

Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ):
Article 15 of the UCMJ authorizes commanding officers to impose non-judicial punishment (NJP) on service members for minor offenses without the need for a court-martial. The process is intended to maintain discipline and order within the military ranks in an efficient, expedient manner.

COURT-MARTIAL REPRESENTATION
A court-martial is a judicial proceeding in which members of the military are tried for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It functions similarly to a civilian court but is specifically designed to address military law and discipline. We handle all types of court-martial cases at Fort Bragg, including:

• General Court-Martial (GCM):
  A General Court-Martial is the highest level of military court, used for the most serious offenses such as desertion, rape, and murder. It consists of a military judge and a minimum of five panel members (jury), unless the military service member requests to have their case decided only by the judge.
• Special Court-Martial (SPCM):
  A Special Court-Martial is a mid-level military court designed to try service members for intermediate offenses, similar to misdemeanors in civilian law. The court can include a military judge and three panel members. Penalties may include reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay, discharge, and up to one year of imprisonment.
• Summary Court-Martial (SCM):
  A Summary Court-Martial is used to adjudicate minor offenses committed by enlisted personnel. The proceedings are quicker and less formal than those in higher courts-martial. The court consists of a single officer who serves as judge and jury. An SCM can still impose up to 30 days of imprisonment.
