INTRO TO THE MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM

Military Justice System is a collection of legal procedures and guidelines that

control the behavior and discipline of military personnel. In addition to ensuring that
military members are held accountable for their acts, it serves to maintain order,
discipline, and good behavior within the ranks of the military.
The military justice system comprises four (4) components: Investigation,
Prosecution, Trial or Adjudication, and Judgment or Decision, and two distinct
categories, administrative cases and punitive cases, each of which involves a distinctive
set of legal processes and penalties for the involved military personnel. Administrative
cases in the military generally deal with non-criminal misconduct or violations of
administrative regulations. These cases are focused on maintaining discipline, order,
and good conduct within the military ranks. The primary purpose of administrative cases
is to address and correct behavior that does not rise to the level of a criminal offense.
Punitive cases, on the other hand, refer to legal proceedings that involve criminal
offenses committed by military personnel. These cases are subject to the military justice
system and are handled through court-martial or other relevant legal processes. The
primary purpose of punitive cases is to hold military personnel accountable for their
actions and maintain discipline and order within the armed forces.

(1) All officers and soldiers in the active service of the AFP.
(2) Member of the reserve force from dates of their CAD and while on active duty

Court Martial is a military court created pursuant to the article of war whose
function is to decide whether a person amicable to trial there has committed a violation
and if it finds his guilty, to adjudge the authorized punishment of the offense.

Punitive Articles of War

The Punitive Articles of War were the legal framework that governed the conduct
and discipline of members of the United States military before the enactment of the
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in 1951. The Punitive Articles of War consisted
of provisions outlining offenses and punishments within the military justice system.
The Punitive Articles of War covered many offenses, including desertion,
disobedience of orders, misconduct, theft, assault, and more. The specific articles
varied over time as they were amended and updated.
Article 54 of the Punitive Articles of War addresses the offense of "Fraudulent
Enlistment, Appointment, or Separation.” This article pertains to individuals who
knowingly provide false statements or information with the intention of obtaining
enlistment, appointment, or separation from the military. On the other hand, Article 55
relates to the offense of "Officer Making Unlawful Enlistment." This article specifically
applies to officers who unlawfully enlist or accept the enlistment of individuals who are
ineligible or do not meet the required qualifications for military service. Both articles aim
to ensure the integrity of the military recruitment process and maintain service
standards within the armed forces.
Article 56 addresses the offense of "False Muster." This article pertains to
individuals who knowingly make or sign a false muster, a roll call, or a record used to
verify the presence of military personnel. Similarly, Article 57 pertains to the offense of
"False Returns." This article applies to individuals who knowingly make or sign false
returns, which are reports or statements that provide information on supplies,
equipment, personnel, or other military-related matters. The two articles seek to
maintain the honesty and accuracy of military records and reports to facilitate the
efficient functioning of the armed forces.

Articles 58, 59, 60, and 61 pertain to offenses related to desertion in the military.
Article 58, titled "Certain Acts to Constitute Desertion," outlines specific actions that
constitute desertion when committed to avoid hazardous duty or shirk crucial military
service. Article 59, "Desertion," defines the offense of desertion as the intentional
abandonment of one's duty or post without authorization and with the intent to separate
from the military permanently. Article 60, "Advising or Aiding Another to Desert,"
criminalizes the act of counseling or assisting another person in deserting the military.
Lastly, Article 61, "Entertaining a Deserter," prohibits individuals from harboring,
sheltering, or providing aid or assistance to a known deserter. Lastly, Article 62,
"Unauthorized Absence," covers the offense of being absent without proper
authorization from one's unit or duty. These articles aim to maintain military discipline,
ensure the readiness of military units, and hold individuals accountable for their
obligations and responsibilities in the armed forces.
