Air Force Courts Martial

Air Force Courts Martial are military tribunals used to try members of the Air Force accused of violating military laws and regulations. There are three types: summary, special, and general courts-martial, each differing in severity and procedures. Summary courts-martial handle minor offenses, while special and general courts-martial address more serious crimes, with the latter allowing for severe penalties, including imprisonment. These courts ensure that justice is served while maintaining discipline within the service, and they operate under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which outlines the legal standards and procedures for military members.
