Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals

The Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals (AFCCA) is a military court that reviews convictions and sentences from courts-martial involving Air Force personnel. It operates under the authority of the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF), which is the highest military appellate court in the U.S. The AFCCA ensures that cases are fair and that legal standards are upheld. If defendants believe their trial was unjust or that errors occurred, they can appeal to the AFCCA for a review, which can lead to changes in their convictions or sentences based on legal principles.
