Air Force Court-Martial

An Air Force Court-Martial is a legal process used to try members of the Air Force for alleged crimes or violations of military law. It operates under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and has three types: summary, special, and general courts-martial, each varying in severity and procedure. Depending on the type, it can involve military judges, juries, and various forms of evidence. The court-martial aims to ensure discipline and justice within the military while upholding the rights of the accused, similar to a civilian trial but with specific military regulations.
