Code of Military Justice (CMJ)

The Code of Military Justice (CMJ) is a comprehensive set of laws that governs the conduct of military personnel in the United States. It outlines the legal standards and procedures for military justice, including what constitutes a crime, how cases are prosecuted, and how service members can be punished for violations. The CMJ aims to maintain discipline, ensure order within the military, and protect the rights of service members. It applies to active duty, reserve, and retired personnel, and includes both criminal and disciplinary offenses specific to military service.
